As in the case of Leeds Utd a few years ago.
Therefore, a two year spread, in some situations, would make some sense.
Edited to add that I think the Football League were wise to this and took the points off them the following season after relegation.
I think that down here, the club suffer a points deduction every season that they are in administration, so if Dundee go into administration this season, they get a penalty. If they don't come out before next season starts, another penalty. I do think that is fair on other clubs.
Automatically relegating Dundee now would have consequences on Dundee's ability to come out of administration, and on the finances of other clubs. If they had nothing to play for, who would come to watch ? Also, presumably the remaining clubs would be fighting to avoid the play-off spot. What happens if a second club goes into admin ? Who would be in the play off now ?

I'd much rather that he was sold to someone else for a massive fee and we can take our percentage of it.

Sad but inevitable. I feel sorry for the good Dundee fans

These puns are great. I want some Encores

Why not just have an end of season playoff for the title like they do in rugby
3rd plays 6th and 4th plays 5th. The winners of these two games play the top 2 in semi finals. That will reward those who do well in the "normal" season and generate some end of season entertainment which the TV companies will like.

Oh the irony if somehow Dundee were to miss out due to their financial shenanigans
:lol: -
Not that I disagree with you, DD, but the last team he put out was not exactly world beaters or indeed full of grit & confidence. For the record.....

Murray
MadAussie
Milne
Mitchell

A few rather delicate characters in there but still managed a very creditable draw at Love St.
God ! You have to let the facts get in the way of a good memory. May be I'm getting old, but from what I recall, the great one won every match by 5 goals or more !

No No No
The man is a legend and I fear that this group of players may be a bridge too far. I would hate for him to go out on a low. Let's remember the good times and let his record stand as it is.

As many have said, if McCall was to leave, the only experienced managers that we could afford are known to be failures. I would much rather that we gave new blood a chance and maybe unveil a future gem. It is a gamble I know, but would Jaggy or Sid or Maxy be worse than those listed above ?

I have voted yes.
The cost of sacking him is one thing, but I'm mot sure that there is too much wrong that can't be fixed with a bit of confidence. OK, so we have lost the last 3 games by 2 goals to 1, but had we held onto the lead in each of them, we would now be sitting in 4th place, just 3 points off the lead. I know that it is easy to say, but if we could stop giving away easy goals then I think that McCall can see us to mid table safety, although he does need to get it sorted fast.
3 points from the league leaders and a cup final appearance would certainly help with the confidence.

Here we go Here we go Here we go
Bring on Spain !
Top of the group !

You could look like Wayne Rooney?
He can still score even if it costs a grand a pop. Scotland and Thistle can't
-
Is there anything worse in the football world than being a Thistle and Scotland fan ?
-
I have a very bad feeling about tonight
-
Maybe somebody did a jobby in his tracksuit
-
When is the semi final draw ? Hope we get the winner of Peterhead v Stennie to set up a big day out in November
-
Scotland game is on the Friday night!
Brilliant !
When was the last time Scotland won on a Friday night ?
-
Great !
Scotland humped and Thistle humped on the same day and I have to work a night shift. Does anyone have any good news ?
-
Tam McMannus ..... The new Owen Coyle !

As others have said, the cost of sacking him would wreck us. Whether we like it or not, McCall will be here until his contract ends, another club comes in for him or he walks away.
(If he does go, I think that Martin O'Neil could do a job and he is free

Welcome to Firhill Conrad Balatoni. I hope that you have a great career at Firhill

Two players for every place, playing to the same system, has got to be the aspiration. This means 8 midfielders.
Not having 4 players twiddling their thumbs every week has to be a better asperation.
Having a manager that can adapt tactics to suit the available players in a small squad would also be a good asperation.
We don't have the finances to have 2 players for every position
-
Good win. bring on Annan
-
McCall is aware of this
“We are trying too to conclude deals with Bryn Halliwell and Ian Flannigan and obviously if we want them to be available to play against Clyde on Saturday we would need to get something done on that front this week.”
That suggests that the delay is not with the club but with the player or his agent. Could this be another of the "bash the board" posts without knowing the facts that are starting to make this forum tedious.
