| 362. Author: Bannockburn Par Date: Sat 9th Nov 2024. 17:22 What’s the point of it all ffs. He will still be in charge this time next week. The club is a shambles top to bottom… Reply |

| 366. Author: Jeffery Date: Sat 9th Nov 2024. 17:48 par-91, Sat 9 Nov 17:21 Was about to say exactly the same. I`m not sure where he goes from here as his record looks worse and worse all the time. The very positive chap on the TN10Y podcast (posted the other day on here) described McPake as something like, `a very average Championship manager`, if he is average what are any number of other managers?

| 367. Author: NMCmassive Date: Sat 9th Nov 2024. 17:59 I wasn’t there today so I don’t have that display to make a comment on but I don’t think he’ll resign. Maybe if we get beat by Airdrie but honestly I think we’ll win next week and it’ll drag on another month COYP Reply |
| 368. Author: Higgys Mohawk Date: Sat 9th Nov 2024. 18:05 No way he will resign. He’ll be in charge next week, and we’ll probably win. If we don’t though….surely the board will have to pull the trigger. Unless they are happy with us fighting for 9th and 10th position. Reply |
| 369. Author: king lad Date: Sat 9th Nov 2024. 18:12 Why would he resign, he is getting a decent wage and will get paid off if he gets sacked. His next job he`ll be lucky if it`s league 1. The club is an embarrassment right now and the fans have a right to be furious with the performances Reply |
| 370. Author: The Boss Date: Sat 9th Nov 2024. 18:20 Even Forfar have pulled the trigger on McKinnon. How bad does it need to get for us to sack McPake? I like black and white (dreaming of black and white) You like black and white Run run away Reply |
| 371. Author: cammypar 1995 Date: Sat 9th Nov 2024. 18:33 Who are the "local directors" at EEP ? in a previous statement they said "All directors remain fully committed and, like you, we all want to build a prosperous and successful club on, and off, the pitch". If so wake up and smell the coffee we are now at serious risk of cutting ourselves off from the rest of the league and in a relegation dog fight with Airdrie. We insist we are all for bringing on and developing academy graduates yet we have a perfectly good striker who is the only one at the club with any idea on where the goal is sitting on the bench watching the embarrassing performances week in week out by the so called professionals that mcpake picks ahead of him. This squad lack fight and desire when it gets tough and you need both of them to stand a chance in a relegation dog fight which we are well and truly in. Our manager and assistant who are both defenders can`t seem to instill the fundamentals to our back line as we continue to ship the softest of goals on a weekly basis. In a league where we can potentially have Falkirk (if they don`t win the league ) Rovers and Hibs (who seem to be in the same rut as we find ourselves in) next year can we afford to drop out the league. We lost £1m in league one last time round with Falkirk in the league so will end up losing more as we won`t have the big home gates twice a year. What is the draw to EEP anymore for a punter or a fan? A roasting hot overpriced pint in legends to then waltz into your seat in a half empty run down stadium fairly certain you will witness another lifeless performance and a defeat. This has to be one of the worst pars teams I have witnessed watching the club. There is no fight that makes you go "look we got beat but we had a go". The problem we have is I don`t think mcpake going sorts the situation. It means another lot of payoffs and bringing in another guy who has the impossible task of making this league 1 at best group look even remotely close to winning a few games in this league. We need to get out ducks in a row and make us look even remotely investable because if I had a spare few million to invest I probably would look elsewhere to put it. c'mon the pars Reply |
| 372. Author: parsmad68 Date: Sat 9th Nov 2024. 18:35 Don’t want anyone to lose their job but McPake needs to do the decent thing and resign. He won’t however. Reply |
| 373. Author: Angus_W Date: Sat 9th Nov 2024. 18:37 So where is the money coming from to sack JMcP & replace him? Shouting “sack the manager” is the easy bit, in our present predicament I can’t see it happening. “.........it ain’t over till the Pars score!” Reply |
| 374. Author: jake89 Date: Sat 9th Nov 2024. 18:38 The local directors are the likes of Braisby. Guys who will probably have disposable income to throw at the club but not massively deep pockets. It`s getting very dangerous now though. McPake HAS to go and the longer it goes on the more expensive it will be. I don`t want to propose a fund to sack a guy as he`s trying his best, but could something like that be set up? Reply |
| 375. Author: Berkey Date: Sat 9th Nov 2024. 18:56 Mcpake ain’t resigning, this might be his last job for a while and almost certainly his last full time managers job at least. The worry is he’s not long added 4-5 more players and nothing has changed except we have even less money to do anything in Jan to improve the dross we have and pay him off. The next manager has a poisoned chalice now, plenty players to chose from but only 2-3 good enough to compete in this league. Not sure what the answer but we know that doing nothing is playoff lottery at best. Who wants to go into the playoffs with a load of players who are more interested in their next club than playing for us when they know they are out the door.

| 376. Author: Parsweep Date: Sat 9th Nov 2024. 19:03 Angus_W, Sat 9 Nov 18:37 Sack him now and pay the comp , or keep him , very possibly get relegated and suffer massive financial losses? I`d go for the former . Bobvo Reply |
| 377. Author: par-91 Date: Sat 9th Nov 2024. 19:04 Jeffery, Sat 9 Nov 17:48 Yeah, for him to be ‘average’ there would have to be at least 3 managers who could be considered worse. I’m struggling to see who they could be. Reply |
| 378. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Sat 9th Nov 2024. 19:22 jake89, Sat 9 Nov 18:38 Technically, week by week it gets cheaper to sack a manager…….but it wont happen Reply |
| 379. Author: Bamba-Daft Date: Sat 9th Nov 2024. 19:22 People should vote with their feet. Honestly hope the attendance for the Alloa game is in the low hundreds, the board, that absolute clown of a gaffer and our senior players don’t deserve a penny more from the fans. Reply |
| 380. Author: thebear Date: Sat 9th Nov 2024. 19:30 I have always resisted, but subject to finances I agree. We must not get relegated or we struggle for a long time. It's not longer about having a defence that does not give away goals, it's about having an attack that scores more than they do Post Edited (Sat 09 Nov 19:32) Reply |
