Spot on. Mcpake is not the man to take the club forward and was glaringly obvious yeaterday

I’m in same situation mate. Every time I go we play shite or get beat. Avoiding till we’re safe.

I’ve gave this board a chance and German investors. I was optimistic at first but has totally drained out of me now. And to hear roughly what cook salary is is mind blowing. a training centre is all good and well but a massive cost. The club would have been better putting an artificial and making EEP as a hub until in a position to find right facilities. the team on the park is the bread and butter of the club. And should always be the main priority. This ten year plan has anyone seen or heard how this pans out or what the short medium and long term goals are off the club.

Who’s said was the Germans, I never, I said the board. Which is made up of more than just the Germans. the injury’s haven’t helped. But in the summer the squad was paper thin, was also skin and bones at start of January. it’s clear we struggle to get deals done for players one way or another and has been like that past few windows.

What conspiracy?, it’s there for you to read on website, last season it was Robbie Crawford trained for months couldn’t come to a deal, then same with Wotherspoon. I’m sure be other players that we don’t know off that have trained with us. the brophy this window. It’s not just on this forum but if you read the others most off bringing in experience players add up and not getting deals done. it’s clear to say mcpake is fucked off. And also clear to see something is not right at the club just now.

He’s obviously went for experienced players. And they haven’t come to the club. your not saying the signings this window and previous windows have been his first choice. Imo he seems fed up with his interviews etc

He may well be in the know. A lot of fans are privy to info of a sort. Either through friends at the club working with people involved etc. not gonna tell info or who source is but letting fans know in a way that all might not be well. And tbh I wouldn’t be suprised if mcpake decide to walk. Aye he’s stubborn with formation etc but seems like he’s been sold down the river by the board.

I would too but and someone like liam Craig has experience too which should help. I don’t know why he’s at games tbh I’m sure I read a reason why not long ago but can’t recall why. the playing side needs addressed more than the coaching side. The club has shot itself in the foot this year imo.

Gary mantagani or how it’s spelt he’s at all the games no point in having a scout

Very poor today. We are far too slow to move the ball forward. The only time we did it today we scored. Mehmet is a bomb scare. The midfield has no fight in it and is over run at every opportunity. jackubik is a player and does well but has no service off him. He’s sting and holds ball well but nothing around him to help. O’halloran would be aswell as calling it quits how he’s made a living out of football is unbelievable. we need 2 cbs. A solid ball winning midfielder and a striker in January or we’re getting dragged into a relegation fight. I also noticed liam Craig was helping with the warm up today along with another coach. Don’t think we need any other coaches and surely our scout should be elsewhere looking for players not at our game?

Could possible be deflection tactic as usually says working hard etc. still two loans available so could see one come in

Does a club of our size really need a sporting director though? Other than arrange a glamour friendly with st Pauli what has meggle done in that role? Serious question? There’s not been any German players brought in, I know brexit was a major hold up in this but other teams seem to bring foreign players in. Ultimately it’s mcpakes decision on the team and players he’s the manger. If him and cook are there full time let them deal with transfers. my gripe is that this has been such a slow window for the club, yes we have brought in previous loan players but the squad isn’t stronger than the end of last season. We’ve went up a league to hardest league in Scotland and running weaker than last season it will come and back to haunt us eventually

I’m not ITK as some fans are. Dont stay in Dunfermline and no real ties to the club other than supporting them for over 30 years. as I’ve said it’s my opinion that too much involved. And I got that from the interview from courier. As said previously if manager identifies a player then should be him and cook involved. Again I’d imagine at the start of the season a wage budget would have been agreed as they are business people and seems like a sensible thing to do considering the clubs recent financial problems. If a player falls into that wage budget and a contract can be agreed then should only be those two. If say however they want more money may break wage budget then go to Germans and see if a deal could be made. Again this is just my opinion

I’m not against the Germans I think they have been good for the club. But I also think that they need a bit of help and guidance on the Scottish football. im not saying there’s turmoil, I’m saying imo that it seems like too much people involved in transfers. And I believe that should be the manager and David cook involved and that’s it. A wage budget I presume would have been agreed at start off the season I’m sure it’s not all been used up to this point. im also not suggesting just sign anyone either. If Wotherspoon hasn’t signed and contract has been on table for a while walk away and onto another target. I don’t think I’m wrong in saying either that they have been working on targets for this season since they took over dosent look like that to me. Also mcpake has said that he would have liked a settled squad by now. If this isn’t happening a bit of reflection and seeing why this isn’t happening has to happen too. if our targets are going to higher teams I have no qualms with that no harm in trying but we also have to be realistic and know we’re in championship. And have to take a risk on someone at some point. also I don’t know how are scout network is down south but we seem to work in Scottish market mainly while other clubs seem to be going down south. A bigger market that I think we’re missing out on.

I’m not hoping for anything is there at all. But it’s obvious they are struggling to get players in, the Wotherspoon situation. The McGowan situation. All the trialists that are here that they haven’t managed to sign. I get they want to run a smaller squad but u just need to look at rovers last season to see it dosent work. And with the injuries they have had already this early on. out of the six one was made because keeper got injured. Ohalloran hasn’t done much yet. Summers is only new player. We’re two strikers down and short in midfield too with only really one out and out winger. Imo is there’s too much people involved in the transfers should be manager and David cook as a wage budget should be in place already.
