Calderwood to seek assurances

9th May 2010

Relieved Jimmy Calderwood was not sure about his future at Kilmarnock after finding it difficult to get through his first relegation battle.

Killie avoided defeat against Falkirk, sending their opponents down, meaning they will spend another season in the top flight.

But Calderwood, who took over from Jim Jefferies on a short-term basis in January, will seek assurances from chairman Michael Johnston over next season's playing budget before committing himself after struggling with the emotions involved in a "nerve-wracking" finale.

"It was absolutely horrible," he said. "It was horrendous, I never want to go through it again. I'm glad it's finished.

"But you have got no divine right and it was our own stupid fault for getting involved in the first place. I have not seen the chairman yet, he might be hiding from me.

"I will see what the plans are, I wouldn't like to go through much more of this. If the plans are they want to get into the top six, then that's different. But if it's just survival then I'll see you at Christmas time or something."
