| 222. Author: Paralex Date: Wed 9th Oct 2024. 20:01 Insanity is also spending money we don`t have in an uncertain outcome and leaving us in a similar situation to Inverness. We`ve been down that particular road before and most of us don`t want it to happen again. Reply |

| 224. Author: Rusty Shackleford Date: Wed 9th Oct 2024. 20:15 The Boss, Wed 9 Oct 18:12 There are no empty questions at all. There are two rhetorical questions in there, one of which you missed the point on. I don`t know what I`d do because I don`t have a sense of the inner workings of either the dressing room or the finances. In magic wand territory I`d prefer an attacking outlook with a far quicker recruitment policy but these things are just ramblings when it`s not my business or money. I doubt an outgoing board who are seeking to recoup a loss of capital are going to authorise tens of thousands of pounds of further outlay and another manager search while they`re also going through due diligence on (supposedly) several potential new owners. A minority of you just don`t live in the real world and get angry when a guy like Wee Eck politely and calmly chooses to disagree with you. On a forum. Whose primary focus is to discuss the club. If it`s any consolation Raith Rovers are in full head-loss territory as well if you want to pass the time by reading their forums. It`s cheering me up a wee bit. Reply |
| 225. Author: LEGEND85 Date: Wed 9th Oct 2024. 20:21 The real world is losing games and the standard of football is rubbish I`m able to tell this from attending games week in and week out. That is the reality. Reply |

Not that it’s an easy ask in our current form" Although I`m not sure if I well head along on Saturday yet, I do agree with this Reply |
| 227. Author: Rusty Shackleford Date: Wed 9th Oct 2024. 20:40 LEGEND85, Wed 9 Oct 20:21 Yes, agree. Also reality is our owners actively seeking an exit. Two competing thoughts and situations. This is the essence of adulthood. Reply |

| 231. Author: NMCmassive Date: Wed 9th Oct 2024. 21:03 McPake going nowhere in the near future. Clubs not got the money while going through the change of ownership. 4 separate investors are currently going through the process of looking through the club’s finances. If all goes to plan someone will hopefully be in place this side of Christmas. IMO we’re better to stick with McPake for now (unless it goes totally bonkers of course) aswe don’t exactly have the funds to pay off McPake and get in a new manager. The new investment group will want their own manager in anyway so either way it’s only a matter of time plus it would be better to start a fresh with their new man rather than putting up with someone they’ve not hired/having to pay out for sacking a second manager COYP Reply |
| 232. Author: The Boss Date: Wed 9th Oct 2024. 21:08 Rusty Shackleford, Wed 09 Oct 20:15 I don’t think I’ve got angry at all. The situation is really becoming tiresome. People are entitled to their opinions but at the end of the day it’s majority rule and that’s what will eventually force him out. There has been a lot of managers over the years I would have kept be we chose to sack them. Them’s the breaks. The majority wanted them out so they were sacked. Fans will always dictate. I didn’t ask you about if you were the manager or on the board. I asked you as a fan what do YOU think we should do? It’s not exactly hard to answer. Just the usual cop out on .net. Glad you’re sticking up for your wee pal though. Strange though considering I’ve bypassed most of his posts.

| 234. Author: Rusty Shackleford Date: Wed 9th Oct 2024. 22:42 The Boss, Wed 9 Oct 21:08 Weird last paragraph. What do I think we should do? Who is "we"? The German consortium or the old Pars remainder? Like I said, it`s too hard to answer without knowing the facts. If you think that`s a cop out then carry on thinking it`s a cop out. I`m drawing on my experience of running a business. For the avoidance of doubt because I feel like to have a valid voice on here these days you need to spell things out...I think we`re mince most of the time and I don`t like it. Rusty not like the football. Rusty not happy. Reply |
| 235. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 9th Oct 2024. 22:55 If I`m being identified as Rusty`s `wee pal` can I just say that I haven`t a clue who he is and I suspect he doesn`t know me. Reply |

| 237. Author: da_no_1 Date: Wed 9th Oct 2024. 23:22 I don`t think anyone can be happy with how we play, the recent performances or the results. Some of us can discuss this without simply saying things like "the clown should be bulleted" immediately. "Some days will stay a 1000 years, some pass like the flash of a spark" Reply |
| 238. Author: red-star-par Date: Wed 9th Oct 2024. 23:44 NMCmassive, Wed 9 Oct 21:03 The rest of this thread is a load of rubbish, except for this post by NMCmassive. There is no chance that we are going to sack McPake. He`s in charge at least until new owners are found. There is no way we are going to pay him off, and get a replacement in from another club who would be willing to come here on the off chance that they won`t get their jotters when new owners do take over. So then we are looking around the out of work managers in Scotland. That`s a small and uninspiring pool - Steven Naismith, Craig Levein, Jim McIntyre, Ian Murray, Barry Robson Reply |
| 239. Author: da_no_1 Date: Wed 9th Oct 2024. 23:58 I agree for the most part.....but if it gets worse over the next couple of weeks he could be removed and replaced in the interim by one of our more experienced players......Bene/Chalmers/Wotherspoon. Arguably they couldn`t do much worse on current form. "Some days will stay a 1000 years, some pass like the flash of a spark" Reply |
| 240. Author: Berkey Date: Thu 10th Oct 2024. 10:12 Posted something very similar da no1 earlier in the week. Punt mcpake if this continues and give bene or wotherspoon the gig on a temp basis (haven’t included chalmers as he’s only 30). The club might be more attractive without any severance for mcpake having to be priced in and we can put an end to years of quite frankly crap football. The club needs a new direction both off and on the park. I’m not sure mcpake has the ability to turn this round, results might pick up a wee bit with a few narrow wins but end of the day the way he wants to play would get football stopped and even now he doesn’t have the right players in the squad to make the difference.
