Not official until Ludo does it imo, think Arbroath game is last chance saloon, anything other than a win and he's toast. Does feel inevitable so i get why the thread is up though.

Would guess it'll be something like Alan Archibald taking over as caretaker as means he wouldnt need paid off, probably Doolan in as an assistant or something too if Scally goes with McCall.

While every manager is going to be under pressure for a run of results this bad, I doubt anyone in the division (possibly the whole SPFL other than Jim McInally and Davie Martindale) is as bulletproof as McCall. There are others in a pretty safe position, whether that's Campbell through years of credit in the bank or Rankin through his club not being able to afford to sack him, but Partick's boardroom/ownership situation complicates things massively.

While the board and PTFC Trust were no doubt delighted to have good results on the park to point to as deflection from their behaviour intially and therefore won't enjoy the on-field situation turning toxic as well, they can still hide behind McCall to an extent. The second they sack him 100% of the scrutiny is turned onto Low, and that gets even worse if they then appoint another Caldwell level catastrophe.

There's obviously a tipping point where they'll feel the pressure on them is going to be worse for failing to act which then threatens to collapse their whole fake fan ownership scheme, but it looks like such a dysfunctional club at the moment that I'm not sure they'll feel they're anywhere near that point yet. You can't rule out McCall choosing to move upstairs or just go himself, but I'd be surprised if he didn't want to cling on as long as possible. Despite that him choosing to leave of his own accord still feels more likely than a sacking.

I look forward to his sacking being announced in the next couple of hours now I've said this.

Jacqui Low - player manager until the end of the season aided by assistant managers McCall, Archibald and Derek Johnstone...

I shouldn't really joke about shit like this. The reality will probably be more hilarious for expectant onlookers.
