He appointed Alistair Burn the commercial manager who seems to be doing good work (it is just a shame that the money he brought in has been lost somewhere). He is an good advocate for the mental health initiatives done by the likes of Eddie Martin etc. That's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secure Par Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 I presume there will be a lot of ****ed of board members asking questions? Now and I might not be right but McPake and his team will be the scapegoats and 1st to go… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether DC had any say in that, I don't know (although I would hope and expect he had signoff at the very least). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it is just on mobile as I very rarely use desktop internet these days but I actually find it clunky and awkward to navigate.

If McPake had been supported with resources I do feel we would be in a better place. I believe McPake has been limited in in the transfer market for the past three windows. If McPake goes who is out there that would do a better job given the resources available to him. We have had two utter car crashes of managers now and we are paying the consequences for that, there is no way McPake is an equal to that level of nonsense. I heard talk of Robbie Neilson returning to Scotland, people need to get a grip - you be as well flying a kite in a lightening storm before that happens. If there is a decent manager they will be in post, and there is no chance in hell of them coming to EEP with the crap going on atm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piracy Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 I have James McPake down as a good man. I've sat at a good few of his insights to football speeches at the supporters nights. He's passionate, honest and forthright. I've no doubt all this crap at the club is negatively affecting his confidence. He deserves better but it's a results business and I fear for him as manager over the next few games. I really hope he turns it round. Let's hope the clubs board give us a communication piece later this week clarifying their position on strategy. None of us want this, we need to be working together here. For fcuks sake get it sorted. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_no_1 Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 Bang average managers all over this championship being made to look miles better than ours simply because they're being backed by their clubs owners whilst ours, who's definitely not blameless by the way, works with both arms tied behind his back. Some laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secure Par Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 Ah McPake is deffo going to be the scapegoat and Cook will live on… Cook received a big bonus for us being champions of league 1?? McPake and his team don’t have a chance unless they come out after being sacked to tell us all as we predicted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymie Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 He did receive a bonus for the team winning league 1 He got 30% and the rest of the playing staff shared 70% 👀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you consider what Hughes came into (no wins, not his squad, big January rebuild) then realistically, as a manager he's doing worse than Hughes. As a person he's a much better guy, but his record since we've been promoted is stinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
