Good luck to him, we got rid of him a bit late, but I feel no ill will towards him at all.

I felt last season we had the worse injuries I can remember in football, if it wasn`t for that who knows what would have happened last season, I can`t imagine how stressful that was as a manager.

This season he was thrown under a bus before the season started, one goalie just for starters! And to be honest he and we never recovered, his recruitment was pretty poor as well, but again under different circumstances he would have been fine.

By the time he got sacked he was done, and our squad simply was not at this level, many outside people have commented on this, he can take some blame, but not much in my opinion.

As I say, good luck to him, and yes there were highs too.

McPake wasn’t a bad manager. It’s all about resources. Last night Barry “struggled at Alloa” Ferguson went to Turkey and bossed Jose Mourinho . A GOAT manager.
Jose thought Rangers would set up 4231.
Chucked out a 352 . And could have battered them 5-1 .

Yes, he wasn`t a bad manager, and I hope he gets another full time gig.

He was on course to keep Dundee in the SPL, and it was ridiculous he got sacked there

We were right to sack him, but he absolutely shouldn`t be the one to shoulder all the blame for this-we could only sign what was left, every signing had huge injury risks, no other clubs were in for them, and a goalkeeper that had hardly played a single adult game before coming to us at 30!

So a real gamble for any signings, and yes, he was done for us, but he deserves another decent crack at it.

McPake was mince. The board shafted him but let`s not rewrite history.

Kane is one of the best in the league, but
not the best. Agyeman and Oakley are
much better.

He also gave 2/3yr deals to multiple duds, played some of the most stinking football I`ve ever witnessed etc.

Down there with Yogi, Grant and Kenny for me

A manager that cant adapt and alter his approach when losing consistently is not a good manager

He did what was asked of him in his first and second seasons. In season 3 the rug was pulled from underneath his feet. He was a pragmatic manager. If we`d played flamboyant football but failed to get out of League 1 or stay in the Championship he would probably have been sacked earlier than he was.
