Barry Smith leaves Dundee

Tangoman bein linked with the job,i wonder if the Dundee board sense a points deduction at the Saville Dome.....
 
He`s been a bit hard done by i think. What were they honestly expecting given the lack of time he had to prepare his side for the SPL. It`s essentially a first division squad that wasn`t even good enough to win the first division. Some of their football this season hasn`t been at all bad though, they just lack a bit of overall quality to have some sort of consistency. Though we probably all lack some of that outside the Smellies.
 
Points deduction or no, league reconstruction will likely save the gunts from a trip to the first division but I still want Dundee to overtake them.
 
What happens if they don't get a points deduction till after the split, and they somehow make top 6? That would make them safe no?
