Liam Fox sounded like a man who knows the Dundee United end game is nigh after their 4-0 battering by relegation rivals Ross County.
The Tangerines travelled north with the aim of picking up three points to lift themselves off the bottom of the Premiership table. But they found themselves 2-0 down inside 15 minutes as some comic cuts defending left them with a mountain to climb. Things only got worse after the break as the Staggies doubled their advantage and in the end, United were lucky County's stopped at four.
The pressure was already on Fox, as well as sporting director Tony Asghar and American chairman Mark Ogren. The latter stuck by the former pair, but will now be expected to wield the axe on the boss with relegation now a real worry for angry fans, 1000 of whom made the trip north and had made their feelings clear during the 90 minutes.
