Goodwin still has two years left to run on his current contract, which includes a substantial compensation release clause.
Speaking at a meeting with SMISA members just last week, Goodwin said: "As in all contracts there's a settlement figure if I'm sacked or another club wants me.

"As long as we can see year on year progress and we still see ambition among directors then I'm happy here.
"And as long as the fans are happy with me too then I won't give anything else a second thought."
