In this case it sounds a bit like virtually accepting a resignation providing he goes on gardening leave for 6 months in lieu of notice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few if any will be looking for a manager in November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheaven Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Can't find a link to it but I'm sure I've read in the past that November and December is the time of year when managers are most likely to be sacked. Clubs are terrified of being in the relegation zone at Christmas so they pull the trigger before then. So in terms of available jobs it's probably as good a time as any. And presumably there's nothing to stop clubs talking to him earlier than that and just keeping a caretaker in charge until November, if they really want him. I think on balance the agreement is probably a fair one for both parties. Saints would rightly be very annoyed if they'd allowed him to walk away from a signed contract, only to immediately take up a job at one of our rivals and deny us a sizeable compensation.

We’re not going to pay off Tommy when he wanted to leave. He’s obviously signed something to say he won’t take a job for 6 months, otherwise Saints will likely be due the value of his contract at a minimum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the new club could buy-out the contract clause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mainstand Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 Unless Motherwell pick up and start winni g games I could see him taking over from his old Irish pal there. 11 games without a win and lost last 7 home games from what they were saying on the radio.

Unfortunately not, Kirsten Robertson is still there, although you would be forgiven for forgetting that. Does she really exist? Callum is a decent gaffer - he is just learning his trade. Hopefully we stay up this year and next season we kick on when he has made his mistakes and learned from them. Will be absolutely gut wrenching to see Tommy wearing the badge of any SPFL club to be honest.

Linky Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 I would've thought Motherwell have their sights set on a bigger name than Tommy. They want to be challenging Aberdeen & Hibs for 3rd spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. There are plenty of managers who have recently been at lower league English teams. Ian Holloway has applied for it, according to some reports, for example.

I have had dealings with Kirsten and as I have said before she is nothing but polite helpful and always looks for solutions.

Rob Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Think Tommy would be a decent fit for Motherwell. If he doesnt get the job, its hard to see what other club he could go to in the Scottish Premier. Smarmy Arab 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE LARK SAINT Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 I've said it before but I don't understand the grievance some have with C R I've only dealt with her once but she couldn't have been nicer and more helpful It appears to me people reading into Kilmarnock fans comments and forming an option round that. mainstand and south inch 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
