Surely today he either walks or his sacking is announced.

If not we are a total laughing stock.

I genuinely find this bizarre. As I said in the other thread, you can't ask a guy to do you a favour for a few weeks and then fire him for failing at it. He should at the very least be offered his old job back, and is probably due a public apology from the club for having monumentally fucked up the appointment of a new manager and hung him out to dry by having him in a post he's not suitable for and has no experience in for months on end.

I find your viewpoint bizarre.

Fair enough we all have different views on what is an honourable and right thing to do.

I do hope we read news of him being relieved of his position today. Didn’t think he was up to the job and boy have I been proved right. I wanted to be wrong ffs.

It's not just dishonourable, I suspect it's not even legal! He surely must have had something written up to say that he'd be entitled to get his previous role back after agreeing to the poisoned chalice of caretaker with this squad?

Bloody hope not. He's what you call a constant and he needs to be fired out of a cannon back down to the central belt.

You or I have absolutely no idea what he does when an actual manager is in place. The new manager should be making that call, and until that point should act with decency and integrity like any other employer would. By all means remove him from caretaker, of course.

Och well. It would appear the only activity down Pittodrie way is inactivity. 

Superb leadership.

Didn’t hear leven anywhere take any responsibility for the cup loss. All blame on the players?

looking a bit more at Leven, I suppose it’s optics. Cormack has also referenced sacking x managers in such a short period of time, does he really want to fire the interim. I do believe managers will be wary of trigger happy cormack, despite the manager firings being justifiable.

you can always tweak things internally, tell leven to take more input from doc for example, but it’s 9 games. We have an 8 point lead on killie, would take a lot for them to catch us. As much as we need to win games, so do they.

pre split we have falkirk and hibs at home, st mirren and rangers away. 
Killie have hearts, livi and Dundee at home, hibs away. Impossible to predict any of this, we are gash but killie aren’t exactly on form, won 2 draw 2 lost 6 in their last 10, including pumping us.

If their form and ours continue - notwithstanding the fact that bottom six games will be totally different in terms of pressure etc - then that will get far too tight for anyone's liking.

[Bukta Bertie]

I've weighed it all up and despite there being a possibility of us going down it's still not very likely. I'd be totally relaxed about going into the remaining games with the Doc at the helm.

Although it's starting to look very much as if Leven has survived.

Bad Cormack.

I don't think more disruption is what is needed right now, we tried the interim interim boss thing with Warnock and it was a shit show. Chasing the "new manager bounce" dragon rarely ends well. Next person to be sitting in the manager's office should be our next permanent manager.
