Neither is Brechin while we are at it.

Elgin and Brechin both have Cathedrals - or at least the ruins of them - and would therefore in days of yore have been considered cities. Hence the claim to "City" fame.

Apparently his tenure so far has been a 'probationary period' (must have been in the contract) and so by ditching him this early no compensation is due.

The fact that KM was quite happy to leave suggests to me that he has got playing options.

It will be interesting to see how things develop.

Wonder if Hopkirk will come back as he hasn’t got a job elsewhere.

Livingston Football Club has been in discussions over the weekend with Kenny Miller and his representatives.The club felt that the Player-Manager role wasn’t working and had requested that Kenny reverted to the a full time Manager’s role. Kenny however feels that he isn’t ready to give up his football career at this time.As a result the club and Kenny have amicably agreed to part company.Livingston Football Club would like to thank Kenny for his honesty and openness, and wish him well for the future."

Somethings no right with that. A lose against Celtic and a Draw with Killie in the league, and a narrow lose at the weekend

Its hardly been a disastrous start

Tam McManus saying on twitter that Kenny was sacked and was not an amicable parting, something not right here.

Seems odd. Sure Miller will have his solicitor on the case if they are saying that and it isnt true.

Inverness,Perth and Stirling are our only cities apart from the big four.

Not sure if 1972 counts as "days of yore".

From wiki:

Scotland had no cities by royal charter or letters patent before 1889.^[38] The nearest equivalent in pre-Union Scotland was the royal burgh. The term city was not always consistently applied, and there were doubts over the number of officially designated cities. The royal burghs of Edinburgh and Perth anciently used the title civitas, but the term city does not seem to have been used before the 15th century. Unlike the situation in England, in Scotland there was no link between the presence of a cathedral and the title of city. Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh were accepted as cities by ancient usage by the 18th century, while Perth and Elgin also used the title.^[6] In 1856, the burgh of Dunfermline resolved to use the title of city in all official documents in the future, based on long usage and its former status as a royal capital. The status was never officially recognised.^[6]In 1889, Dundee was granted city status by letters patent. The grant by formal document led to doubts about the use of the title city by other burghs. In 1891, the city status of Aberdeen was confirmed when the burgh was enlarged by local Act of Parliament. The Royal Burgh of Inverness applied for promotion to a city as part of the Jubilee honours in 1897. The request was not granted, partly because it would draw attention to the lack of any charter granting the title to existing cities.^[6] Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow were constituted "counties of cities" by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1929. The Act made no statement on the title city for any other burgh.

In 1969, the Home Secretary, James Callaghan, stated that there were six cities in Scotland (without naming them) and Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Elgin, Glasgow and Perth were the only burghs listed as cities in 1972.^[6][39]

The Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 completely reorganised Scotland's local administration in 1975. All burghs were abolished, and a system of districts created. The four districts of Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Dundee and Glasgow had City included in their titles by the Act. The 1975 districts were replaced with the present council areas by the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994 in 1996, and the same four cities were designated. Since the 1996 reorganisation, three more Scottish cities have been designated: Inverness as part of the millennium celebrations, Stirling in 2002 to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee and Perth in 2012 to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.^[31] In the case of these three cities, there are no city councils and no formal boundaries. In January 2008, a petition to matriculate armorial bearings for the City of Inverness was refused by Lord Lyon King of Arms on the grounds that there is no corporate body or legal persona to whom arms can be granted.

Is there not still a legal dispute ongoing between them?

Kenny: Right Mr Chairman, I've played 5 games on that pile of desiccated rubber you call a pitch and unless it goes I do.

Chairman: Cheerio Kenny.

His most likely due in my opinion

Stubbs said he wanted to sign a 'marquee' forward and he'd probably get plenty of game time there

I think Tam is correct. I heard from someone who know Kenny that the assistant manager was put in place by the board and was constantly undermining him. KM wants Caldwell as an assistant. There was issues with the pitch and the fact the youth set up had been disbanded and reserve players offered out to east of Scotland teams. KM had no control and felt it was better to go than be hung out to dry

It would make no sense for Miller to agree to that clause IMO. That the club could tell him to stop playing?

What was the clause? Have you seen the contract?
