Topic: McFake out!

The longer decisions are delayed in firing him , the more he devalues the club So we have just paid grant and Hughes off so we pay this team off and bring in who ? c'mon the pars Reply

323. Author: PARadise Date: Sat 2nd Nov 2024. 18:52 I’m struggling to understand the absolute apathy towards the club just now, of which I am experiencing as well. I think it’s because we’re in limbo, there’s no one held accountable at board level and although I believe Mcpakes time is up there’s no anger towards him, probably because he done what was asked of him in league 1. I think we really need to start making our voices heard, Dunfermline should never accept being a league 1/champ yo-yo club which we have been for the past few years and the current showing every week is an absolute drag to go and watch. I don’t even flicker an inch when we get near the opponents box and it genuinely catches me by surprise when we do score. There’s no attacking build up, no rotations, poor positioning in wide areas and no targets in the box. Compare that to Mr Murrays raith last year. There has to be a decision made here and quickly, the season is well and truly underway and the points we’ve dropped today and against accies (a), airdrie (a), partick (a), QP (h), Morton (h), livi (a) all “there for the taking” games is simply not good enough and points we’ll look to at the end of the season in vain. I get the club saying they’re not willing to update regarding new ownership but does that mean you totally ignore the other moving parts of a football club that the fans may want an insight into what the plan is? If we are too skint to sack a manager of James Mcpakes quality then that’s even more evidence has to how utterly incompetent the Germans have set our finances up. Get them to f*ck asap. Reply

The longer decisions are delayed in firing him , the more he devalues the club So we have just paid grant and Hughes off so we pay this team off and bring in who ? Quoting a list of our recent **** ex-managers only emphasises why we need to make a thoughtful and decisive appointment after McPake. As to who is a whole level of debate in its own right. For the record I do not want to see anyone getting sacked but equally I am totally convinced McPake must go now as he is detroying our team and in football management terms of ability, simply put, has not got any.

325. Author: PARrot Date: Sat 2nd Nov 2024. 19:28 McPake is no better or worse than most managers in this division. He doesn`t deserve the abuse he gets on here. He isn`t a fake or a fraud. He is a manager at Scottish championship level struggling, like several others at the same level, to compete against equal and opposite forces. I understand the fans` frustration and desire for better entertainment, but who is likely to provide that on what cash we would not have left if we paid off the current management team. All I have heard for the 20 or so years I`ve been on dotnet is, "Sack the manager." Don`t think McPake has the ability to get us out of this league. We need an upgrade, but there is no need for the vitriol. Unless someone comes in with enough investment to finance a significant upgrade, sacking him could be worse for us than seeing out his contract unless relegation looks more likely than it does at the moment. As long as he is in touch with the middle of the table he is going nowhere. Reply
326. Author: kozmasrightfoot Date: Sat 2nd Nov 2024. 19:34 Why don`t clubs put certain clauses into a manager`s contract? i.e if the club has less than so many points after so many games then that is considered reasonable grounds for termination. Managers have far too much armour. Ordinary people in everyday jobs don`t expect a payout if they are sacked due to underperforming,so why should football managers be exempt. Reply

That`s not what I asked though. My question is if we sack mcpake tomorrow who gets the job ? I`ve yet to see any viable suggestions. For what its worth I don`t think mcpake is the answer. That being said I don`t think he goes until we at least have a new owner. c'mon the pars Reply
328. Author: jake89 Date: Sat 2nd Nov 2024. 19:58 I wasn`t there today so perhaps there was logic, but why did Todd come on when Kane was injured rather than use Wighton or Sutherland? I`m (clearly) not a football manager but even my Champ Man skills tell me you don`t put a midfielder upfront. Reply

331. Author: da_no_1 Date: Sat 2nd Nov 2024. 20:08 Row_ZZ, Sat 2 Nov 17:40 Doesn`t help when fans applaud that absolute dung either. Board will be thinking everything is rosy. Our fans are deluded. He won`t get sacked until the new board come in, which could be well after Christmas. An absolute joke and we need to stand up and make our voices be heard. Blame the fans who appreciate the effort.

333. Author: cfad Date: Sat 2nd Nov 2024. 20:23 He’s going nowhere this season, whatever your opinion may be (unless he decides to resign which is very unlikely). Just a reality of the position the club is in at the moment. So choose your attitude people. Reply
334. Author: Jeffery Date: Sat 2nd Nov 2024. 21:27 Berkey, Sat 2 Nov 17:47 That’s squad is always going to struggle when your bringing on the likes of wighton and cooper when looking for a goal. Most of this team need to have a pretty good game just to look like they can live in this league. If they have an average game they look like league 1 level. There`s been plenty time to determine Wighton isn`t good enough but that feels a bit harsh on Cooper. He may have been here since preseason but he`s not played enough and has just come from part time football. Reply
335. Author: kelty_par Date: Sat 2nd Nov 2024. 22:38 "That’s squad is always going to struggle when your bringing on the likes of wighton and cooper when looking for a goal." Wighton I get but Cooper is one of the few who tries to run at players and has actually scored a very nice goal for us. Bizarre to lump him in when there are plenty of others who don`t look like they are ever going to score in a month of Sundays. Reply

No idea behind the logic of the change as he moved Dapo up front and we created next to heehaw for him. Reply
337. Author: Boomer Date: Sat 2nd Nov 2024. 23:21 Bannockburn Par your suggestion to stay away is spot on. We don’t need bell ends like you so please do as you say. We were not outplayed today a mistake cost a goal and Hammy would have scored 9 out of 10. McPake makes mistakes as do the players but the effort can’t be faulted imo. Reply

Because great coaches/managers like JM would not sign on the dotted line. Just bin him ( and his equally inept coach ) and give the job to any player who has the relevant coaching badges. We could not be any worse…. What an opportunity we missed in 2014. Reply
