I suspect that we will stick with Foran and an experienced No2. As we ponder this inevitability , let us look at the fates of the twenty managers with the worst win percentages in the SPL since season 1998/99 and ultimately relegated the SPL teams they managed :-
10 were sacked (before or at end of season)
2 resigned
1 club went bust
1 retired
1 decision yet to be announced.
5 managed relegated team in 1st division
Of the 5 that led their team in the 1st division :-
None secured promotion back to the Premier League
4 were sacked
1 left to manage a bigger club
Hopefully Foran can buck the trend and be the first relegated manager ,who features in the top twenty managers with the worst win percentages in the SPL since season 1998/99 , to secure promotion.
