I'm not saying Berra's not a good professional - of course he is - but I'd prefer my captain to be someone who's made his way through the ranks with us and has great affinity with club and fans, as well as being here till 2024 at least. Berra has 1 more year then that's it, and he does seem to love a Hearts gig on TV which annoys me a wee bit.

Maybe unfair but there you go.

I'm a more concerned at this stage that we are managerless and our former manager is now at Falkirk knowing full well who is out of contract at Raith and what their current wages are. 

True, but I’m considering our currently signed squad. The manager issue is a clear and present danger, and I don’t trust the Board to fix it adequately, let alone well. After that, then we can worry about what got poached off our porch.

Just a bit nervous to see what state we are in as we were sub-1500 season tickets and the Germans had to put money in so we could pay off Grant and allow Yogi to burn a pile on more dross players. That money can be called back as an interest free loan or more likely, taken up as shares if they decide to take over properly and get hands on. 

Haud the bus, Dunfermline having sub 1500 season ticket holders can't be true shirley? That would mean in excess of 2000 punters paying at the gate/online if the attendance figures for Dunfermline games are true. Christ we were waxing lyrical at having 1500 season ticket holders and barely broke 2000 at games overall barring games against yourselves and Killie.

Currently signed until 2024 is all of Matthews, Stanton, Gullan, Ross and Vaughan…leaving the choice of Matthews or Vaughan.

And Matthews has been captain in the past season. It makes sense for him to get it, should bene not be resigned.

What’s our current season ticket numbers? Was 1500 not pre pandemic.

We were around 1500 in January, when there was 500 a game attendance and they suggested nearly every ST holder could potentially attend one of the three matches on offer.

You’re right, I totally forgot about that. If the sub 1500 season tickets for Pars is true that’s quite worrying for them. I honestly thought they’d have 2500+ going by their average attendances.  That’s a hell of a lot of walk up fans otherwise.  It’s not like their fans knew they’d be pish before they bought,  many thought they’d be challenging this season.

Am I imagining things or did McKinnon not start talking about how great it was that Benedictus was a natural left footer when he signed?

Seems a nice enough guy but if I understood that correctly and it wasn't just him misspeaking, that should really horrify a board.

He’ll not make that mistake again this time around. Bene won’t be here for the new manager anyway. He’ll be away to Falkirk.

Is that chat only coming about due to him being out of contract and mcglynn going to falkirk?

Yes

No inside info, was just my opinion [emoji1419]

I do think he’ll come back for Bene and Spencer with both being out of contract now and we won’t have a manager in place until a week on Monday at the earliest.

I’m pretty sure Dunfermline tweeted that they sold over 2k before the season had started. I remember this because Thistle did the same at roughly the same time.

Now considering their club blatantly lied to the fans this week in a statement, maybe that was bullshit back then as well. But they certainly claimed in the summer that they surpassed the 2k mark.

For me mcpake is too similar to Gary Locke , passionate football guy but ultimately failed in his last job, can he improve as a coach definitely but he is part of that sport scene lot and I don’t really want any of them as even if he fails it won’t be his fault. I don’t see him developing young players to sell on I really don’t 

I think there's a frighteningly similar comparison between McPake and Barry Smith.

Both got Dundee promoted in very fortuitous circumstances (Smith as a result of Rangers' demise and McPake as the result of an utterly obscene offside decision in the playoff semi), then both found to be hopelessly out of their depth in the Premier.

Smith gradually dropped down the levels and achieved nothing anywhere he went, and I see McPake being exactly the same.
