 Club Being Destroyed
Topic Originator: summeragent  
Date:   Sat 3 Aug 17:58

Just listened to JMcP. Never heard a manager so demoralised, who had no idea what to do to get us out of this situation. Says the players are giving their all and that literally means expect nothing better! When will we win a game? Will we even manage to score a goal?

I think the owners have been totally naive. Have no idea how to run a club. This was their experiment and it has failed so they will go down and take us with them. No interest in DAFC only interested in their little hobby!

It’s up to the fans to save the club and demand change now. I have never felt so pessimistic about our club as I do now and don’t see any desire by the owners to change things!

After the farce with the goalkeeping situation we now have no doctor at the game and JMcP doesn’t know why! It’s beyond a joke, incompetence, mismanagement and a total don’t give a f*** attitude by all at the club!

Maybe time to lay aff James a bit then eh folks. Least he`s being honest and along with the fans he seems dejected aswell. Which shows he gives a toss about our club.

Ref. the TIFO suggestion -

Total waste of time and effort, as well as money IMO.

The board would need to be living on another planet to be unaware of the widespread unrest among the support.

I agree McPake sounded a broken man and albeit passively, he vented his frustration regarding the size of the squad. I`m not convinced he has the abilty, experience or contacts at this point in time. It is obvious our problem for years has been scoring goals and that looks like it wont have changed.
Having said that I dont think it is the time to be calling for his head, we seem to be holding out for the loan market so I think we should wait until that market has closed then make the decision. Besides I can`t think of a suitable available replacement that would excite the fans.
I think we need to be careful about speculating about no medical cover, I imagine there would be a reciprocal agreement with the home team should our doctor not be available. This cover would be an administrative issue and perhaps McPake wasn`t informed.

87par, I won’t lay off mcpake, he’s not a victim in this. He signed the likes of o’hallaran and resigned chalmers and wighton all on good money but no good enough to get in the first 11 of a team floundering with very little quality.

Blame on both sides but mcpake hasn’t helped himself in the slightest…he’s as guilty as they are.

I’m absolutely raging after hearing JMcP interview!

I hope that we fill the stadium against Falkirk and protest against the owners, demand they put the club up for sale, demand Cook goes!

I hope there are protests / boycotts every home game until they are gone!

I feel for JMcP but honestly feel he has been dealt a bad hand and can’t recover.

The way it’s going I’m terrified we won’t have a club in the next few years. We are the worst run club in Scotland (Inverness fans may argue this) and have been a shambles for some time now. We were in a fairly good place before this group came in and it’s been a downwards spiral since they took over. It genuinely looks like they have no interest in making the club be successful and we can’t wait 7-8 years for our youth plan to take off (and I seriously doubt it will even get to that stage anyway). McPake doesn’t help matters with tactics and contract extensions but he surely must be having some honest conversations with Cook and Meggle about lack of signings, the strength of the squad and the worry for this season. Do they care though? Doesn’t look like it at the moment.

I think James McPake has been too weak with them. I know he has commitments like us all but if he had resigned citing the shambolic stewardship of the club, then things may have changed. No one would want to be be our manager under these idiots!

Even though Id like to defend McPake in this, he is complicit in it - his dire tactics and team selections are costing us points, and could cost him his job. People saying he hasn’t been backed when he has made plenty of signings and contract renewals doesn’t hold much weight.

Not sure what we do to change it though - maybe needs a new manager and money thrown at it, but we done that with Hughes and ended up in League One…..

Can`t protest at a match if you boycott though.

The latter will certainly concentrate minds at board level, if walk up fans vote with their feet.

A serious question - how much would be needed to buy out the current board and how much additional income is needed to support the club?

It feels to me we should be sacking all these supposed professionals who have come in to run the club as they`re in no way worth their wages.

It makes me think we are in dire straits financially! Otherwise whoever arranges for the doctor to be at the game should be fired. Cook should be fired for the goalkeeper fiasco! It feels like the club is going to rack and ruin under these idiots!

It was fan owned before but it wasn’t sustainable. You can’t expect fans to continually put their own money in and get nothing back.

Clearly the figure is £1 million a year which is where our losses were 2 years ago and seemingly still are. They need to sell the club to a group who are willing to invest in the 1st team if they aren’t unable or don’t see fit to

Honestly I think we need new owners. I’m starting to get the feeling that we may be in dire financial straits with the current owners/idiots. All that can be done is to put the club up for sale and hope for the best.

Because the Germans have overloaded the club with overhead we never had previously. Nearly every club at our level relies on funding from directors but it seems the Germans have put theres in and won’t do anymore. Hence of these unable they need to sell the club

The money has literally gone into Cooks back pocket, along with the 2 other “managers” he brought in to do big parts of his job.

Think this is starting to become evident that we have hired full time positions to replace volunteers and absolutely shot ourselves in the foot.

ETA - season ticket prices going up, early birds removed, walk up prices increased, lack of signings - all hint towards dire straits financially in themself.

There are 2 issues here I think - not having a doctor isn`t great (especially given the serious injuries we`ve suffered and the stuff with Mehmet down at Ayr) but I think the major issue is thst it seems nobody told McPake that would be the case. Presumably that has been communicated in the past and again shows how bad we are at communicating either to fans, sponsors or even their own staff.

Fair question re: the ground running costs.

I`ve no idea what the ceo and marketing guy get paid. Purely from my own experience I found the `marketing guy` (sorry I don`t know his name) great. You`d also imagine he had a key role in the fanzone event which hopefully turned a profit.

Left back goes off injured moves comrie (a right back) to left back instead of moving otoo to LB who played for Celtic B there, making it easy to move comrie to his best position at right back leaving a back 4 all in their best positions. Instead we get the usual bring on Breen move comrie and we are back to a back 5 with Hosler staying at right wing back.

"No doctor, so what livi had one and I am very sure he or she would treat a pars player as well as one of his own. Why McPake is making a thing about this only shows he is feeling the pressure."

Firstly "No doctor" is a breach of the licence conditions (page 23 of the licencing handbook) and can see us fined if no extenuating circumstances.

Secondly, it looked like Fisher went to our bench, then to the Livingston bench or to the tunnel area at least before going off. So it`s possible the other doctor didn`t want to/didn`t feel the need to do stitching.

Thirdly, the issue to McPake seems more to do with the coaching staff not being aware of the situation. We all know communication from the club is poor but you`d like to think that the board, staff, etc would all talk to each other?

"No doctor, so what livi had one and I am very sure he or she would treat a pars player as well as one of his own. Why McPake is making a thing about this only shows he is feeling the pressure."

Firstly "No doctor" is a breach of the licence conditions (page 23 of the licencing handbook) and can see us fined if no extenuating circumstances.

Secondly, it looked like Fisher went to our bench, then to the Livingston bench or to the tunnel area at least before going off. So it`s possible the other doctor didn`t want to/didn`t feel the need to do stitching.

Thirdly, the issue to McPake seems more to do with the coaching staff not being aware of the situation. We all know communication from the club is poor but you`d like to think that the board, staff, etc would all talk to each other?


Club doctors are only a requirement at home fixtures under Silver and Bronze licenses. The home club should be aware if the away club does not have a doctor prior to the match.

"Club doctors are only a requirement at home fixtures under Silver and Bronze licenses. The home club should be aware if the away club does not have a doctor prior to the match."

Point 6.4 would seem to disagree. Silver now needs club doctos for both sides. Bronze still is home club only.

Considering we had a player collapse on the pitch last season, I am very surprised we have took the risk not to bring one

SFA Licensing rule 6.4 says “It is acceptable for the Home and Away clubs to arrange, prior to the match, for one Doctor to be available on the day of the match”.

I wonder why JMcP is not made aware of the arrangement at Livingston.

I think no pars away games because they can`t control the facilities at away games so when they put out a bad service,they get criticised on here, they can`t win.

McPake knows they hardly ever have a doctor at away games but he claimed he didn`t know. It`s excuses to get pressure off his back

And you`re 100% certain of that, Nick? Cos if you aren`t you need to delete that post. Maybe you think it`s no big deal to label someone a liar on a public forum while you hide behind an anonymous username?

You`re telling me the manager doesn`t know if he has a doctor with him at games? Next he won`t know if he`s got subs.

There was a doctor at about 3 away games last season so it`s hardly surprising there wasn`t one there on Saturday.

Was the manager not asked if he knew why we didn`t have a doctor at the Livi game and he said he didn`t? That doesn`t necessarily mean he was lying....
