Livingston boss David Martindale admits he could have been the first managerial casualty of the season if the club's board had been more 'trigger happy'.
The 47-year-old believes continuity is the key to success and reckons boardrooms across the country are increasingly out of touch with the pressure of the dugout.
The Lions were rooted to the foot of the Premiership table after picking up just four points from their opening eight games this season - which he admits could have seen other managers dismissed - but they've recovered to the extent that they are well in the mix for a top-six spot with seven games remaining before the split.
