[Ludo*1]

As the poll question suggests.

Stevie Crawford has to go surely

On my phone so can’t see the poll but you’d imagine it’ll be Crawford although they delayed on sacking AJ last season.

The poll should be whether he goes tonight or in the morning. On paper Dunfermline have a pretty good squad. As such the blame is at the manager's door.

Rumour has it they've not got the money to sack Crawford

[Chubbychops]

Probably won't but should be.  I hope he goes before things turn really nasty.

[THEHonestman1910]

5 defeats in a row for dunfermline and they aren't playing particularly good opponents too.

[VinnyPar]

He absolutely deserves to go but the board won't do it, he's already brought in 2 players as well so they are still backing him. Utterly atrocious last few games, zero tactics and zero plan B. Brutal stuff.

He has to go. The board need to grow a set and do the right thing.

And who do you appoint

And who do you appoint

Darren Young would likely be the favourite but Dunfermline might decide against appointing another younger, ex-player and go for a more experienced guy.

Stewart Petrie is attracting the Dunfermline fans from Montrose

Not sure who David Hopkins is but David Hopkin has 0 chance of being emptied by our board, even if we were to end up being relegated. He and his staff still have 2.5 years left of their contracts.

A club legend. Fantastic win percentage and has them punching well above their weight.

I wouldn’t be against him or Young being brought in. Young is my choice though, as Petrie has a lucrative job out-with football. Young would probably jump at the chance of full-time management.

Need to get the buckets out again Petrie or Young a huge gamble at this time of season . plus no ££££££££££

We’ve got no money and we could’ve appointed Darren Young. The compensation East Fife would be due won’t be that much.

I like how people are assuming McPake will get sacked by Nelms anytime soon.

So any incoming manager no money to spend and the compo on top of it . Darren would jump at the job but he has fell short over the last few seasons at EF imo

I think our problem is bigger than just the manager. I don't think a fan backed system works and could be a race downwards when we are doing badly.
We had reserve funds but allowed AJ to blow them by rebuilding a failed squad twice. When we collapsed in the playoffs we lost momentum. He rebuilt again and it was a disaster. Now we've went for cheap manager and player options and while the squad had a few good players we cant seem to get the best out of them.
I did expect a few ups and downs due to the young squad but we've had quite a few awful and embarrassing results in the league and cup and hes been outsmarted by part time teams and managers.
With our budget and fan base we should be challenging for second if not top four.
Pretty sure most teams in this league would love to have quality like nisbet, dow, martin and Murray.
The board need to act or at least make a statement this week.
