With his name being mentioned I checked his stats.
Most goals (he) scored against one team. Dunfermline
Win rate as a manager 39%
McPake had a win rate of 44% as Pars manager.
Just saying😏
Amended to say about his goals record.

Oh well, I wasn`t aware of him being much of a goalscorer if it`s what I see, a hatrick in a single game would pretty much do it, we`ve played Morton loads of times also, can`t take much.
Bit of a random `fact` in my opinion.

McPake only won 15 championship games out of 53. That’s poor.

Surely it’s not tidser? We need a rebuild in the summer so can’t see someone with so little experience as a manager and no experience as a manager at a full time club coming in.

Pretty random numbers, the more I look at it they are numbers and not statistics.
Few goals, as explained above. could be one freak game in his entire career.
Manager- he took over when the money `investment` went from paying for signings 2 tiers above salaries, to the money falling off a cliff, then having to completely overhaul the entire squad on salaries a league below- so there is no correlation there
McPakes record is over 2 separate leagues with average attendance circa 5k . Kelty one league average crowd around 400/500
I`ve no idea if Tidser would make a good manager of a full time 2nd tier club, I have my doubts, but then again he certainly seems to be decent.
As for McPake, well there`s a lot of outside factors at play also which he was unable to navigate ultimately, doesn`t make him a bad manager, even though his time was up.

Neil’s, mcpake always does well in his first season if he inherits a newly relegated side with players who are good enough for that new lower level but can’t cut it at the higher level.
It all goes wrong in the second season when you require tactical ability and to improve the team with your own players.
Tidser might turn out to be a great manager, but this is a season or 2 too early.

It`s not ideally a job for a rookie manager, we are in a relegation fight, as I say I have my doubts, not particularly keen.
As far as McPake, yes he is limited, the negatives we all know too well. He`s gone now anyway, having said that, I feel no need to be too scathing.
So, experience it is then, trouble is not really anyone decent available or willing to come.
I have no feel for this, normally can have an idea of who fits who.
No one comes with a guarantee also.

Tidser took over Kelty when the owner left for Raith, I expected that they would struggle in league 1 and eventually drop to league 2 due to lack of funds.
They haven’t and are now in a stronger position than when he took over.

League 1 is an easier league this year with Falkirk away and Kelty still have some big earners there with the likes of Scott Allan and o’ware to name 2.
Next season if a few more of the higher earners leave then it will be interesting if he can keep them challenging or even in that league given the attendances.
Liked tidser as a player, always dominated against us, it’s been many a year since we had a good midfield at this level.

Tidser has won 8 league games in 19 this season. They are only 3rd in the table because the rest of the league isn’t that great. We should not be looking at a League 1 manager with a year and half experience of managing. Thats a disaster waiting to happen.
I think its about time we pushed the boat out for a big managerial name like a Lennon etc. It might not work out but we need someone that can draw in names of players that are good enough to get us out of this mess.

Id take Lennon, Id take Murray (last season shows can cut it at this level), Billy Davies (but Id like to think the board would find out the reasons behind a 10 year absence), Naismith or Robson have managed at a higher level, or even trying to entice a Paul Lambert back into management.
Something a bit more exciting than Tidser or Ferguson or a host of ex Pars like Cardle…..

Non league clubs in England can sign players we can’t afford and that will be same for managers.

Lennon Davies and Lambert are hilarious suggestions. No danger they`d be interested in us.
Naismith and Robson have managed at a higher level but were both chased out their respective clubs.

Why wouldn’t Lennon and Davies be interested? One has managed in Championship before for Hibs who now needs to rebuild his reputation, the other is a former player who’s been out the game for 10 years. I do admit Lambert was a wild card mind you.
If we are going for a manager with only a year and halfs experience in League 1 then why not go for ones with Premier League experience instead? Maybe Aberdeen and Hearts were too big for them?

Would be willing to give Tidser an opportunity, really handy player in his day and knows the Championship very well given majority of his career has been in it.
His managerial career with Kelty Hearts hasn’t been that bad given the constraints he has to battle with.
Murray would be my preferred option but if it’s Tidser then so be it.
I’d love more adventurous options but we’re not exactly a big draw for managers at the moment and financially we are restricted.

McPake strolled league 1 and was rank rotten in the championship. Tidser is lying 3rd in league 1 currently, 5 points off the top and has no management experience in the championship. Are we going to continue playing Russian Roulette with managers? We have to get it right this time surely. Every appointment is a risk but at least do diligence and minimise it as much as possible. That means it can`t be Tidser.

I am sure he will become a good manager but is just starting out in his career. We are second bottom of the championship. I feel that needs someone with experience at championship level or above in some capacity. John McLaughlan seems the best candidate for me at this stage, and move a couple of the experienced players into on and off-field coaching roles. That`s tge logical step. He can always step back at the end of the season to his current role. It will take a team effort to address our current predicament both players and management. There is no silver bullet

Totally unrealistic in terms of what can be achieved in a short space of time on a limited budget.
Fact - We are second bottom of the Championship with 16pts - 4 points adrift of the pack + we have played a game more.
Fact - We have no idea what position financially the takeover will leave the club in. There are no free lunches in business. Our new owners will want something for their investment.
Fact - We have 17 games left (51 points to play for) & we have to find a manager that can hit the ground running. We need to take the lions share of the 51pts or we are down.
FACT - Football supporters - Great at spending other people’s money!

Good post, Angus.
Any appointment will carry a degree of risk. The club will appoint a manager it can afford and who is willing to take the job. I very much doubt there will be a huge budget to bring in a raft of new players in January, so he will mostly have to work with the players we have.
Two of the most successful Pars managers in my lifetime are Jock Stein and Jim Leishman. Neither had any previous managerial experience whatsoever. Whoever gets the job - let`s get behind him and give him a chance instead of writing him off beforehand.
Not your average Sunday League player.

Maybe all the names above didn`t apply? Easy saying we should go for him or him but they might not want to come to us. At the end of the day we aren`t as big as we used to be and I think some on here need to take stock of where we are currently instead of the success of yesteryear.
Currently we have owners who want to sell the club and no real clarity on the intentions of the interested party. It`s also going to need a big rebuild both on and off the pitch with a number of these players playing above their level and a new inverter might want his own staff behind the scenes. Every managerial appointment where it is tidser or anyone else is a gamble.
Whoever gets the job will have my full support regardless who I wanted to get it initially. Friday showed what can be achieved if everyone is pushing in the same direction. Support the team and get to safety then let the manager prove his worth in the summer with a rebuild. Interesting time to be a pars fan albeit not without trepidation.

Given our finances and thr club being in limbo he`s one of the more sensible names being mentioned.

At the level most of Scottish football is at … 75% is man management and organisation. Look at the bunnet nearly taking Arbroath to the premier. Or Airdrie last season. If Tidser can galvanise the boys to work with him we have enough quality to move up the league. If Bene , Chalmers and OHallran get behind him the rest will follow.

The money we`d have to pay Kelty for MT could go towards a bonus for a more experienced manager keeping us up.
I`d support him but losing to Dumbarton doesn`t fill me with confidence
We don`t make the decisions though so we just have to live with whomever is given the gig.
Murray though,decent manager,no compensation needed.
I`d personally be giving it a couple of weeks to see if any gems apply. It seems like we`re rushing into it though.
It also suggests to me that the new owners are pretty much in place and are having a major say in what comes next.

I disagree a bit.
When we played them I thought Kelty tried to pass it about and play decent football. They were without a few key players at the time (Scott Allan being the main one) so maybe didn`t quite have the personnel to do it. They still managed to have more possession than us and the result was fairly narrow in the end.
Dumbarton aren`t bottom of the league because they are bad at football, they are there because they`ve just been docked 15 points. Saying you`ve been beaten by `the bottom side` doesn`t mean the same as if they hadn`t had that deduction.
I`m reasonably happy with the appointment. I could certainly list more positives than negatives to it.

Considering some folk on here were genuinely suggesting the Campbell Brothers as manager, I think I`ll take opinions here witha massive pinch of salt. Also folk claiming that this is the "cheap option" when we don`t know if/how much compensation will need to be paid to Kelty, what the salary demands are, who his assistant and coach(es) are going to be, etc is typical dotnet. He was a good player and continues to play well for Kelty, and has used the loan market to great effect. This isn`t the same Kelty we saw when they had the money men behind them, and despite the quality of the division not being great, there are still some full time teams like Queens, Cove and Inverness in there along with the best part-time team of the last decade, namely Arbroath. Seems that is quite a logical next step for an ambitious manager making his way up the ladder. I`m not saying he`s the next messiah or that he`d be my number 1 pick but he was certainly in the group of managers I had down as genuine candidates when McPake got the sack. Thr negative reaction to me seems quite odd and quite over the top, but maybe that`s just me.

They seem to be moving fairly quickly on this one and looks like they were doing their homework when they were waiting to see if James McPake was going to rescue his job. Tidser spent his youth at Celtic in the days John McLaughlan was there so I wonder if they got some of their information from him.
Although Tidser is around the same age as our senior players he spent a while at Celtic, played abroad, played down in England and in different leagues in Scotland. Sometimes it`s what you`ve be doing as opposed to how long you`ve being doing it that gives you the experience. Let`s hope that`s the case anyway.

Worth saying that the two best managers in my lifetime of supporting the Pars (Paton & Leish) had hardly any experience before taking over.
Some of the most experienced have been mince. Davie Hay. Mince. Jocky Scott. Mince.
Managerial success all feels like a bit of a lottery if I`m honest. I want us to be more imaginative on the pitch and reflect more of who we are - one of the biggest teams at this level - rather than a timid, passive shadow of what the Pars should be. I don`t think it`s a big ask.

I have no real opinion about Tidser, same as Murray, we simply don`t know, so good luck. Both have good and bad, and maybe VC we have not choice.
If he can be able to have more pressure up front (like against Falkirk) and in the meantime improve fitness then we have a fighting chance, the team needs drilled, simple as that.
A tough task, good luck, we are already in the doodoo and it`s getting to the stage that we will run out of games-if the teams we are fighting with win the games in hand we will be 7 and 8 points behind them with 16 games to go-will start to get impossible.

Given how poor we’ve been trained and set up this season it should be noticeable fairly quickly if he’s having a positive impact.
Praying he gets to bring in at least a couple of players early doors in Jan. quite a few of these players cannot be coached into becoming championship standard.

We are not in the market to sign proven management teams or players.
Our market is gambling on potential and for me Tidser is a manager with potential.
Kelty have stayed in league 1 when the owner (now at Raith) bailed out but have retained their league 1 status and are now challenging for promotion (they could actually be in a league above us next season).
I applaud the BOD for not going with the usual suspects and taking a punt on potential like we have in the past with Stein, Leishman and Calderwood.

Some of the most experienced have been mince. Davie Hay. Mince. Jocky Scott. Mince.
Managerial success all feels like a bit of a lottery if I`m honest. I want us to be more imaginative on the pitch and reflect more of who we are - one of the biggest teams at this level - rather than a timid, passive shadow of what the Pars should be. I don`t think it`s a big ask.
Absolutely

People have short memories. I started getting interested in the Pars when Paton was manager. The following is just my own opinion:
Paton: Great
Calderwood: Great but spent a fortune
Hay: Garbage
Kenny: Terrible but not 100% his fault
McIntyre: Okay
Jefferies: Okay
Potter: Poor
Johnston: Good
Crawford: Average
Grant: Terrible
Hughes: Terrible
McPake: Okay
I`ve obviously missed out the guys who were in for a few games but the point is there`s a mix there of newish managers and experienced managers. Unfortunately, most in the last 20 years have ended up being crap!

Totally underwhelming appointment if it goes ahead, but it is what it is, we are Dunfermline athletic after all. What did we really expect.🤔
We are living within our means, not spending money that does not belong to us.Yorkston, Masterton for example. Get behind the new manager and hopefully, he gets an experienced assistant to get out of this relegation nightmare.

I get the above is your own opinion & whilst I disagree with some of your manager grading I fully agree with the Garbage label for Davie Hay & if their were grades below garbage I would happily plump fo them
Stephen Kenny “Terrible” is the one that for me is the judgement widest off the mark. His off field antics were the cause of his downfall & because of that some of the players led a revolt by downing tools (just another sad episode in the Pars history)

Calderwood was a brilliant manager. Let’s not downplay it . Some Pars fans seem absolutely guilt ridden looking back to that time.
I said he was "Great". The reason for mentioning money is I suspect some other managers could have been great if they`d been given the sort of resources Calderwood had. That`s not to downplay what he achieved at all. He got us back into Europe and into cup finals.
Drumroad, Kenny* saw us relegated and almost relegated us again. He was a terrible appointment.
*and a bunch of lazy, selfish players who spent more time in Riley's than they did in training while "injured".

Arbroath sacked Jim Mcintyre when bottom of Division 1, appointed 2 novice co managers, now top of the league .
True, but both have been at the club for 10 seasons and totally invested in the club. They also kept on Jim McIntyre`s assistant manager who has a lot of experience.
If there was a similar option at the Pars it may be the way to go, but don`t see any senior pros that would make the step up in house.

Pars close in on Tidser
Dunfermline Athletic have agreed personal terms with Michael Tidser.
The Pars are now in compensation talks with Kelty Hearts over a package for their manager. If that is agreed then Tidser should take charge of Dunfermline ahead of Saturday’s trip to Partick Thistle.
The Fife club have agreed a two-and-a-half year deal with Tidser. He is set to move to East End Park along with his No.2 Kevin McDonald.
Tidser was Dunfermline’s top target after they sacked James McPake earlier this month. They have been impressed with the job he has done with their Fife rivals, in terms of playing style and giving young players a chance.
The Pars are in the process of a take over. An American consortium, which includes professional poker player James Bord.
A deal has been agreed to buy the club and it is subject to approval from the Scottish Football Association. Dunfermline hope to get that next month so they can start to make moves in the January transfer window.

Geezo, they were impressed with him giving young players a chance? Does the board know we don’t have any young players who at present are ready for this level? We barely have any experienced pro’s who are at this level. Does this mean the German dream lives on under new owners.
If he wants to play attacking football good luck with the attacking players he has to pick from!
They must have seen something in him so let’s see what he’s got. Think his assistant has rangers connections and he has Celtic connections so maybe he can use those contacts for some loans?

People should understand that Tidser will assume responsibility for effectively training the team, contingent upon the new owner`s approval by the SFA. The sports analytics will shape the team strategy by leveraging the statistics collected during both training sessions and games, as well as assessing the strengths of the opposition they will face that weekend.
I suspect that this may have been employed as a tactic against Falkirk. This is merely conjecture, as I have never witnessed us adopt a diamond formation before. I am unsure whether John utilizes the diamond in reserve football.

I wish him well. But I am concerned that he’s been appointed on the basis of “playing style” and “giving young players a chance “ - This utopian pipe dream of a stream of cheap academy players bursting through and winning games with free flowing football. Never known the championship to be anything other than a scrap and he’ll need to somehow accumulate better, stronger and more creative players than he’s got at his disposal currently. Good luck to him. Relatively unproven but so were all the worlds top managers at some point.

Pretty sure given he has spent most of his career there that he knows what is required in this league. If he can get a time out of this group he will have done a great job.

It`s not exactly an attractive position to take over a big club in 9th. Established managers are taking too much risk if it backfires.
This is the make or break moment and I hope Tidser takes us to safety and advances his career.

3. He had one good season at Raith where they went off the boiler at the end. Is he genuinely as good as people say?

Not one of us knows anything about what is/has happening about the next manager. Unless you are on here as a board member and if so I hope you are watching and not commenting. The Kelty man seems to be doing a decent job with what he’s got. So did Murray at Raith. So did xxx at yyy.
Leave it to the board and back the new manager with huge hope and give him grace if improvement isn’t instant.

I suppose to counter the argument, why not take his garden leave money and sit and drink brandy is because, at best, it stalls his career and at worse, may hamper future work prospects.
Also sometimes people want to work. I’ve been in a similar situation myself where I was being paid for essentially seeing out my contract, but after 3 months of doing nothing was bored stiff so had to go and find another job (for a bit less money but it got me back in the game so too speak).

This is all based on the assumption that their salary demands and any bonuses etc are the same, which would seem very unlikely. What if they spoke to Murray and he gave the impression he’d be doing us a favour and wanted to be paid very handsomely for it, along with bonuses and assurances he could talk to top flight clubs if jobs were available?

Not sure if he is full time at Kelty, he is a player manager, albeit with less games these days, so he probably would be , at least his contract would be from when the conservatory people were throwing full time money at part time contracts (Higgy, Cardle etc)
Not seeing any confirmation yet, so will wait, but good luck if it is Tidser, he`s had to completely overhaul Kelty, so that`s some doing.

Article taken from the Courier
Jason Thomson is convinced Michael Tidser will be ‘a good fit’ as the next Dunfermline manager.
The Pars were given permission to hold talks with the Kelty Hearts player-boss over the weekend and a deal looks set to be finalised this week ahead of the trip to face Partick Thistle.
At just 34, Tidser is perhaps a bold and surprise choice to replace the sacked James McPake as boss at East End Park.
But Thomson, who played alongside Tidser and then under him last season at Kelty after joining from Arbroath, believes it will prove the right one.
“I’m personally delighted for him,” said Thomson, who spent the first half of the 2011/12 season on loan at Dunfermline from Hearts.
“He’s always shown the qualities of wanting to go and be a manager.
“In management sense, he’s not been one for a long time, just a season and a half. But he’s grasped it.
“If you think back to a season and a half ago, when he took the Kelty job, there probably was a bit of surprise and he had to learn quickly there.
“But he didn’t just learn quickly, he did well.
‘High standards’
“He’s young. It’s a huge opportunity but, at the same time, he’ll not just be going there as an opportunity, he’ll be going in to do well.
“One thing I’ll say about him as a manager is he’s got high standards – on and off the park. He likes things done right.
“And he’s got his own beliefs and thoughts. Like most managers these days do, he likes to get the ball down and play.
“Anyone who has seen any Kelty games knows that they will do that.
“So, I think it’ll be a good fit. As much as Dunfermline will be good for Tids, I think it’ll be good for the club.”
Tidser will be taking over a side currently sitting second-bottom in the Championship and with work to do to avoid a relegation play-off scrap at the end of the season.
“Dunfermline will have a young, hungry manager who has played in the leagues and knows the players,” added Thomson, who hung up his boots in the summer aged 36.
“You just hope he goes and gets time – like every manager, I guess.
“But especially at Dunfermline, because they’re struggling. They’re second bottom of the league.
‘Expectations’
“He’ll certainly go in and put demands on the players. At the end of the day, the players are a big part of the reason why they’re sitting second bottom.
“I’m sure that’ll be the remit when it goes in: ‘Keep us in the league’. It’ll be as straightforward as that.
“Dunfermline are a big club, in the grand scheme of things. So there are expectations.
“Fans will be wanting results really quickly, so he’ll be hoping to make sure he hits the ground running.”

And from the Dunfermline Press
Tidser wouldn`t be drawn on the link with the Pars but on Kelty`s first half of the season he said: "First class. Absolutely first class. I couldn`t really ask for any more.
"Yes, there have been moments, but they`ve certainly grown as a group. I`ve said this before - every manager has their reasons, their gripes, and their moans - but there`s not too many times this season where I`ve been left disappointed.
"Once or twice, maybe, where we just weren`t at it, but for the majority of the first half of the season, we`ve grown as a group, we`ve got more of an understanding, and we won`t change. We`ll never change the way we play.
"If that`s entertaining football and proper football, as I see it, then that`s the way it needs to be. I think that`s the best way to win games of football."

Anyone know what formation he played at Kelty?
Will be interesting to see if he can get us playing any form of attacking football, I’m not sure there’s anyone in the squad you could build a team around and we don’t have a single player who can carry the ball forward, has any pace to beat a man or is a wide player (KRH the only option but hasn’t done anything at this level yet)
Hoping he’ll do well but fancy he’s on a hiding to nothing unless he can bring 2-3 in early in January. The squad is just missing so many key element to a quick attacking team.

Don’t think McPake ever thought that.
He’s brought in players but was significantly hand strung from the beginning - you can easily argue the players he did secure have flopped but the last transfer window we were so late to the party we shot ourselves in the foot.

We need a manager who isn`t scared to change formation depending on the opposition or how the game is going.
If a manager is going to stick to the same formation no matter what, we`d have been as well keeping McPake.

Good point. I just don’t know what formations we can actually play which will be effective as mcpake never found any and this was his team.
Poor in midfield and on the wings and only one decent striker who plays 50% of games. How do you fashion out a competitive team out of that nevermind be decent to watch.
It’s a tough ask and coaching alone will not cut it.

Whilst I absolutely get the negativity/doubt about Tidser let`s compare his stats with Jack Ross nearly 10 years ago when he left League 1 Alloa (having failed to save them from relegation the season before) to joint St Mirren, who were languishing at the bottom end of the Championship to not only save them that season but he led them to promotion the next year........(maybe I have missed something or maybe the NYE alcohol has kicked in) but let`s give the Tidser a chance, if appointed, who knows maybe he is the second coming after Leish......#COYP

We could have had a manager in who was a free agent. No guarantee of success of course whoever we get.
However a free agent may have had some budget to bring in two or three players. If we don’t it is 9th at best.
Going for someone who requires compensation paid is crazy. That must be the stumbling block to the delay, which makes it even more bizarre.
What an opportunity we missed in 2014.

Buster, unless tidser gets money to bring in 3 players much better than what we have in key areas I suspect we’re looking at the relegation playoffs at best.
In the playoffs it’s a bit of a lottery but Tidser’s experiences against those same clubs already this season might give us the edge that makes the difference.
If he’s decent he should at least be able to set this team up to beat most league ones side at home at least with the current squad.

We just don’t have the players, yes the fight and endeavour might pick up under new management but at the end of the day he’s being asked to take a team with a league 1 midfield and attack (if Kane not fit) and get something from places like firhill and 9 times out of 10 it’s just not going to happen.

To be fair to Berkey, maybe he`s just pointing out the limitations of our squad, and therefore not to expect too much from the new management team, if they don`t get a lot of new faces in.
The position Mcpake has left us in , possibly 7 points adrift of our closest challengers, and with limited squad, 9th could be the best the new manager can get , hopefully win the playoffs, and start again with a clean slate next season.

To be fair to Berkey, this season hasn’t really had any positives in it so far. The odd good result is fine, but as an overall its been a shambles.
Granted, theres also no need to continue banging on about it or certain players (or dragging them into unrelated topics) every week.
On Tidser - clearly its not as black and white as the papers have said. Maybe we have other options in there? If we don’t, he really should have been signed up pre NYE. Worrying that we cant reach an agreement with a part time club over a manager and assistant - if that’s what’s holding up the deal.

Da no 1, I am optimistic that tidser will be an improvement on mcpake and we will be set up better and fitter but I have very little optimism this group of players.
I’ll defo be giving tidser a fair crack of the whip and hoping he can bring in his own players and get us back to being a decent attacking team who look a threat and have players who can get the fans out their seat. We haven’t had one since before Grant took over.
Let’s see who he brings in this month and if he can get something more out of some of these players before they depart in the summer.

To be fair what really is there to be positive about? Our best player misses too many games to make a real difference and the rest of the squad are bang average that struggles to chip in with goals.
Chris kane is our top scorer in the league with 4 then it`s cooper with 3 making 14 and 16 appearances it`s hardly been a season of goals which is why we are where we are in the table.
Hopefully whoever gets the job can also bring a few players in to improve the quality and get us out of the playoffs.

There isn`t really much to be positive about regarding this season so far. We had massive games v Raith and Morton both teams who were close to us and we kept with mcpake losing 2 nil both games. Mcpake should have been gone before those games or at least after the rovers game. We sacked him too late and with no news on a replacement and his stand in going on holiday things aren`t looking much better going into another important game. If we stop making bad decisions off the pitch it could improve the results on it.

DA-go, watched the Falkirk game with my brother who doesn`t normally watch Scottish football and has probably not been to a Pars game in the last 20 years, the first thing he said was the Pars are looking unfit, slow and lacking in basic skills. If the layman can see it and a large number of fans can see it then why is it a narrative?
We`re clearly slow and lacking in the basics. I`ve watched us consistently for the last 20 years and that`s pretty clear. It is why we need a new manager. I don`t think other teams have ever looked fitter than us throughout McPake`s time in charge, however.
McCann`s body language isn`t great at the best of times - to address the point - but I reckon his stats for distance covered are up there with just about anyone else.
The reason Falkirk perhaps looked fresher is because they had the ball for long periods and we can`t string 4 passes together.
We`re not 9th because we`ve been gassed in the last 20 minutes and let other teams run over the top of us.

There`s no way we are as fit or well drilled as some if the other teams in the league, it`s not a narrative, McPake`s heart wasn`t in this season from the start imo.
That being said we`ve a new start coming up, we have to get behind it and see what happens.

Also hoping he`s announced today if he IS the successful candidate.

Absolutely but we all know how Berkey feels regardless if we agree with his assessment or not he has the right to post it. All I`m saying is if folk don`t like seeing what he posts instead of asking him to post something else just scroll past and if it`s annoying certain people then maybe this forum isn`t for them.
Now let`s get back onto the original topic of tidser. If he is the manager who we appoint to replace mcpake I for one wish him well. It will be refreshing to see us having a go at teams more than previous games and hopefully tightening up at the back.

I am a bit surprised Tidser hasn’t been announced yet, given how much momentum this has in the public domain now and how close we are to the Partick game.
This and obviously the question on everyone’s lips at the moment…did oor John get on that plane to Lanzarote?
If he’s appointed, is he in the dug out on Saturday immediately or do we have someone cover with him in the stands.
Anyhoo, let’s face it, this season has been absolutely honking so far but change is coming in terms of new owners and management so let’s choose to look forward with cautious optimism than dwell on the worst case scenario, we all know what that is but I have faith that Tidser will get us out of this mess, whether that is via the playoffs or otherwise, objective is just to stay up now, he meets that, then he’s had a successful start and we can rebuild.
It’s never easy being a Pars fan, but it makes those highs feel much bigger when they do come around and they will again.

I honestly don’t know what you’re complaining about? We’re sitting second bottom of the league, the gap to the teams above is growing, the squads no up to scratch, the clubs going through a sale while all the rumours are flying around the pubs yet it’s stone wall silence from the club for months… but Berkey being negative is wearing thin 🤷🏻♂️

No doubt these things take time, with a due diligence process on both sides. There may be other considerations such as who he will bring with him if he comes in. It`s the holiday break too so it may take a few extra days. If it wasn`t a done deal, I would doubt that the press would have been briefed as they seem to have been.

But his points are generally valid with how poor we are and to be fair to him the table shows he`s not wrong.
We have been mediocre and we could see we were not good enough half way through that league cup campaign. You could probably argue that with the loss of finances alone not qualifying from that group was enough to cost mcpake his job. We stuck with him and not a lot if anything changed apart from how far we are adrift of the chasing pack.
It`s hard to argue with that and to ask the guy to be positive about it is a stretch. The club has been poorly run on and off the pitch under the watchful eye of Cook and the Germans and we can only hope it changes under the new guy.

You said he keeps posting negative comments on every thread. I`m trying to make it as basic for you as I can to why he might come across as negative. What exactly is there to be positive about? We still don`t have a manager in place and no news on the new investment front and still looking likely to be involved in a relegation play off come the end of the season.

Kelty don’t strike me as a club that would hold the future development back of any of their employees.
Probably the 1st time in their history (junior/senior) that they have had to deal with a situation like this and don’t really know how to handle the situation.
They are losing management team and 1st team player and need to replace mid season when they are currently having the best season in their history.

We parted ways with McPake on December 23rd. Considering business days since then, and accounting for public holidays, we have experienced four and a half days (with Christmas eve being counted as a half day).
Although our football club might have diligently worked through the holidays to resolve matters on our side, it does not imply that the pertinent third parties were operational.
Indeed, McPake ought to have been dismissed weeks prior, which would have prevented this predicament. However, it is what it is.

Robson was without a club. I expect they had prior notice of O`Neill leaving too.
From the rumours on here, we approached Murray who said no first. We then went to Tidser who is presumably contracted as both a manager and a player.

Raith Rovers released a statement on the 21st. I think that the bid was accepted earlier in the week, marking his final game in charge on the 20th.
Collins was still in the country on December 28th, as I was on the train with him to Edinburgh.
However, I sense that you are in a mindset where nothing seems satisfactory. The club is undergoing an exhilarating transition, and I believe this will propel us forward.

Monday, Daily Record:
Dunfermline Athletic have agreed personal terms with Michael Tidser.
The Fife club have agreed a two-and-a-half year deal with Tidser.
Thursday, poster here:
Tidser has declined the contract offer.
what changed then?
Could be that we can’t cover the compensation figure ?
A got told that`s he`s dropping about 150 a week in wages to go full time at dunfermline.

"I got told!"
That`s the indicator that someone is just about to slaver something unlikely to be true.
It really is painful reading this forum sometimes. Most of the time nowadays.
I think the board have their backs against the wall.
No money, a demoralised squad that gets the confidence kicked out of them every day with relentless abuse from "Fans".
5 managers in 5 years is a red flag to any potential applicant. They will all be looking for a contract with security, and we will likely not want to risk another long-term contract.
This can`t be easy.

All indicates that`s it`s done and Tidser will be in the stand at Firhill tomorrow with an official announcement either just before or just after the game. Reports that Kelty are looking at Charlie Mulgrew so the hold up was presumably Kelty making sure they had a replacement lined up. Seems a pretty standard length of time for things to happen in tbh, especially given the Christmas and New Year holidays.

It feels like our collective patience has been worn thin by events over the last few months. I`m hoping we`re finally on the brink of something good, something I think we`re due after the last few years. Imagine if we`ve found owners that can harness what we know we have in the background and a manager who can make EEP an enjoyable place to watch fitba?
Fingers crossed 🤞

Apparently Tidser was in high demand and that he is well thought off. I was a little surprised about who we were looking at but we’ve went down the road previous to McPake with experience and that hasn’t worked out well. If it is Tidser then let’s get behind him. See this season out hopefully stay in the league avoiding the playoffs. I feel as though Tidser will be more enthusiastic and ambitious than McPake was. I personally think that McPake hasn’t really been up for it since the start of the season when he wasn’t backed by the Germans with cash for new players. Im also hoping the new manager can get the best out of Wotherspoon. A few new faces in January hopefully a striker. Hopefully 2025 can be the start of something good for the pars. Im optimistic.

I agree it was time for management change ,maybe McPake was promised funds and withdrawn ,so he would feel demoralized ,but as said im not defending him 100%

Interesting that you say tidser was in high demand? By who? There’s not many other jobs going just now.
If he was I would have expected him to be strongly linked to raith given the folk that brought him to Kelty are now at starks.
Hopefully he’s at firhill assessing the current team but part of me would like him to be at another game identifying players to bring in asap.

I would expect any manager coming in would give each player the opportunity to prove themselves. At this stage, I can`t see any significant changes until the end of the season. I would imagine it will be a case of working with the current squad to get the best from them. I haven`t seen a team this season that is any better than us. We got a bit of a football lesson from Falkirk last week but they blew themselves out after 60 minutes so it`s a little bit deceptive.
Hopefully the bits can lift themselves today and get a badly needed away win.

I saw a post on Facebook by someone else, but I thought it was worth sharing on here, all Pars fans need to get behind the new management team.
"Friend of a friend who is a Kelty supporter..
----------------------------------------
I asked a friend who is a Kelty hearts fan, re Tidser.
“When he took the job I expected that by this point Kelty would be bottom of League Two and heading back to the Lowland League. Not because I had concerns about him as a manager, but because I felt he was taking on an impossible task. Potter had left, as well Barrowman and the man who was the driving force behind the club Dean McKenzie. They all went to Raith, and at the time Kelty literally had a handful of players on the books. As far as I was concerned it was a crisis and I didn`t see a way forward. A couple of guys from the youth set up stepped in to fill the positions vacated by McKenzie and Barrowman, and Tidser the captain stepped up to manage the first team. The club was in deep water with inexperienced people at the helm. Within a very short period he built a squad on a shoestring that played the best football I`ve ever seen Kelty play and led them to their highest ever league finish. This season they are challenging for promotion to the Championship. He doesn`t have much experience and he hasn`t "won" anything, but if you understand the circumstances the man is a miracle worker. I`ve heard complaints that Dunfermline are too big a club but the reality is Kelty are only a couple of places below them. He also knows this level of football inside out from his playing days. He arrived with a bit of a marmite reputation as player but he`s always carried himself like a model pro and an absolute gent, and on the park you could tell that he understood the game extremely well. I`m sorry to see him go, he`ll be irreplaceable but I really hope he does well. I think he will. For me he`s the real deal and I wouldn`t be surprised if he`s managing in the top flight within three years. Hopefully it`s with Dunfermline, and hopefully Pars fans give him the chance he deserves. A good man.”

That a very good and strong statement to make.. there`s alot of managers out there that currently are out of work. Seems like we`ve went out of our way to get tidser and spending a bit to do so. Someone clearly sees loads of potential here and there`s a lot of supporters and kelty players sad to see him leave.. let`s hope it all works out great for everyone involved and we`re up there pushing for promotion next season

I would consider finishing anywhere above 2nd bottom as progress for him given what’s went on before with McPake.

Totally agree. There`s a strong chance he could have kelty into the play offs this season and been in the Championship next season anyway amd I`d imagine on alot smaller budget than what we have.. ad gladly take 8th place at the end of the season right now. If he keeps us up its done for me tbh

I loved Tidser as a player and he looks to have done a good job at Kelty.
However, I would like to think I could voice the opinion that appointing an inexperienced manager, who has never presided over a full time team, when we`re 5 points off safety, over halfway through a season, is massively risky and not the appointment I would have made - and do so without getting called something unsavoury.

Every manager is a risk regardless of their experience though.
Some of our failures were previously respected managers and I include Yogi in that.
Jim Jeffries, Davie Hay and even Grant had pedigree before coming to us.
On the other foot. Some of our most successful managers had no or little managerial experience before.

Harsh on Jefferies - had us playing well in the Championship until the financial issues - and did well in League 1 also, until the bizarre selection in the playoff final against Cowden.
Yeah I maybe should have put him in the ‘did alright’ category and he did have my respect alone for working months on no wages.

Absolutely gutted if Tidser gets it . McPake was rotten but at least had got Dundee promoted to the Prem. It actually made sense . This decision is absolutely brainless . The guy is 34 , done absolutely nothing in the game as a player or manager. I honestly cannot get my head around this one. Would happily have JM in until the end of the season and take it from there. If he gets the job I’ll get behind him and I do wish him the best of course but just seems like utter madness.
By JM do you mean the one that got sacked from Arbroath as they were bottom of the league , they are now top

Well I’m quite excited by Tidser, comes with really positive reviews from Kelty who he’s doing well with.
Bags of experience as a player in this league and will have learnt from the managers he’s had in this division so he’ll know what it involves.
He’s young, ambitious, driven and not on the usual merry go round. Fed up with this age nonsense, just typical UK behaviour where we look down on people because of age and other factors.
He’s not going to get the ‘experience’ fans are after without him being given the opportunity - pretty much like any other job.
It may not work out, but we’ve went through a few of them recently ‘experienced’ who haven’t been that grand so I’m glad we’re looking in this direction.
People say he isn’t what we need in a relegation battle, he could be exactly what we need, ironically possibly due to his age, he can fully participate in the training, actually set the example and integrate with the players on a different level - they’ve proven as recently as this afternoon that they’ll fight for a manager they get on with and believe in - it wasn’t just the tactics today.
With big John proving his worth over the last couple of weeks and Tidsers current assistant, think we should be looking forward with more optimism than trepidation.
All this rotten decision nonsense is rotten in itself and comes from dummies being spat that we haven’t secured Ian Murray who may never have been a target.
I respect everyone’s views on here but honestly the amount that are just completely ill-informed and so negative I really struggle to get my head around.

Can you offer a counter argument as to why he’s is a good appointment without bringing my dead parents in to it , calling it tragic patter or whatever.
Btw check out Berry point as to how to make a proper counter argument without just resorting to basically telling someone to F**k Off simply because you don’t agree with them.

He`s not a stranger to a relegation battle as a player/manager at kelty last season when he was suddenly dropped in at the deep end when the rest buggered off to raith so bear in mind he had zero experience at that time as a manager and he managed that.
Look at what the guy has turned round there and where they are now.. 5 places of us in league positions to be realistic with a part time team also.
Like I said before when he comes in and if he keeps us up this season through league position or plays offs. Imo it`s a great job done as 2 weeks ago i only seen play offs being our best option with mcpake still in charge .

Agree and good post, it puts to bed the "hasn`t achieved anything in management" garbage, arguably keeping Kelty up amid such turmoil could be classed his first achievement.

When Tidser was touted, the view was that we were getting him on the cheap, but that was negated by the fact we had to pay compensation. This gave me hope that the hierarchy had identified someone though the football grapevine that was on the up and would be a good fit, rather than the usual suspects. Reading the albeit limited information from the Kelty support, I am somewhat encouraged we are getting someone who has the potential to do well. Is it a risk, hell yes, but let`s welcome him and give him a chance, time to bed in and then judge him. Onwards and upwards hopefully.

It`s definitely not the cheap option. Kelty has set a compensation fee after we agreed terms with Tidser which has changed the funds available for him in the window. This is what has been holding up the deal.

I think it`s important not to have any preconceived ideas about the incoming manager. You would hope the club has done its due diligence. Any manager who comes in you would expect will work with people like JMcL, who has many years in football. Experience is important, but so are fresh ideas that sometimes come with a lack of experience. Everyone has something to offer, and it`s teamwork that will get the results, not individuals. The key for me yesterday is that the potential is in there in the team demonstrated by the result. I haven`t seen a team in this league that is any better than us.

He wouldn`t be my choice either. I`ve outlined why on one occasion, which I think is sufficient.
Quoting a winning percentage at Kelty, a club which has lost it`s benefactor - and suggesting that it`s the current owners who have made the appointment to p!$$ us all off - makes you look a bit daft to be honest.

"Have yet to see anyone highlight what makes this chap the number one candidate."
Doing well in the league below, taking over under a limited budget and consolidating Kelty in his first season then making a play off run in his second. Proven track record of playing young players. Good style of play, looking to attack teams. Has shown he can improve players who have came in on loan then went back to their parent club more rounded and better players. Talks well in interviews and sets high standards at training and in matches. Experienced player at this level and also had a spell in England. Seems to have decent contacts in the game. Falkirk fans hate him (as do you, seemingly). Seems like an ambitious young coach who has some self belief. Isn`t one of the usual "merry-go-round" managers like Hughes who are seen as yesterday`s men. Wants to come to us but hadnt spat the dummy in the press and has shown a good level of professionalism throughout the whole process. While every manager is a risk, it`s no more risky than some of the other names quoted.
"Perhaps one last GFUY from the outgoing owners??"
You`ve clearly got some kind of gripe with Tidser and/or the current board, so why not just come out with why rather than pretending that there are no redeeming qualities the new manager has? You could at least supply a suitable list of alternatives, as you`ve been asked for on several occasions. If you can`t do either of those things then I can only conclude you are a troll. Seem fair?

If individuals are disillusioned by Tidser`s appointment to our club, they certainly possess every right to feel that way. I found out tidser was taking the position on the day of the Falkirk match, and I was quite gutted if I’m being honest.
Nonetheless, after taking a few days to reflect and watching a podcast featuring him on YouTube, as well listening to TN10Y with Michael Wood, I gradually began to perceive the broader perspective. In the evolving landscape of sports, the trend is decidedly leaning towards young managers.
Every supporter aspires to the same outcome: success! I am certain that each manager shares this ambition as well. Therefore, I propose that we get behind him once in the door. Whether the responsibilities will prove too much for him remains to be seen. However, I genuinely wish for his success; I long for our return to the Premier League! At 36, the best periods of my life were spent supporting the club during the Calderwood era. My singular hope during my lifetime is to witness us secure a domestic trophy. The dream I hope to become a reality

As a country we just despise people who want to succeed in life and find ways to knock people down at any opportunity and then play the told you so card when it eventually happens, which in football is pretty much inevitable these days. It really is a honking attitude to have.
Tidser has done nothing wrong and in his limited time as a manager has done really well - he’s one that’s on the up who I’d rather have than try and pick up another manager who has been on the downward trajectory and trying to save their career.
I really truly hope he’s appointed next week and proves the majority of you lot wrong. The poor blokes had a short managerial career but has had a pretty impressive one given the upheaval at Kelty lately.
Other than Ian Murray who folk seem to be drooling about who are the other possible managerial candidates you really think would be a fit for us.
I seen Billy Davies mentioned somewhere for example, he’s been out of management for over 10 years, how much has football changed over that period?
We’d seriously rather try and bring someone like him out the cupboard rather than a young upcoming manager?
You can be disappointed, entitled to your opinion but bloody hell, some have got him fired before he’s appointed.

Who are `the majority` or the ones who have him fired before he starts?
Some of us wouldn`t have him as their first choice, but I think we all - bar one person who is embarrassing themselves - will get right behind him when he`s confirmed.
I think it`s a big risk given we`re halfway through the season and staring at the relegation play-offs - although I am slightly more optimistic now that he`s coming in to a team with a bit of momentum rather than the sinking ship pre-Christmas.

I really truly hope he’s appointed next week and proves the majority of you lot wrong. The poor blokes had a short managerial career but has had a pretty impressive one given the upheaval at Kelty lately.
Other than Ian Murray who folk seem to be drooling about who are the other possible managerial candidates you really think would be a fit for us.
I seen Billy Davies mentioned somewhere for example, he’s been out of management for over 10 years, how much has football changed over that period?
We’d seriously rather try and bring someone like him out the cupboard rather than a young upcoming manager?
You can be disappointed, entitled to your opinion but bloody hell, some have got him fired before he’s appointed.``
|Exactly where I am.
I think he believes in the type of football our players want to play. John McLaughlin has them on the front foot and they look a different side playing like that.

There is a hell of a lot of conjecture going on. This is in part due to the p*** poor communication from the club. However, I accept the club can`t comment on how an ex-manager was or was not treated.

I’d want Neil Lennon. Someone that’s actually a proven football manager .
Neil McCann available?
Could do worse than him.
Jack Ross??
Fair choices.
Personally I don`t want the Neil Lennon sh1tshow anywhere my fitba club, no matter his actual managerial capability
Neil McCann - sorry not for me. Failed at Dundee and not been trusted by anyone else since.
Jack Ross has a position at Newcastle. Not sure if we`d be able to persuade him North? Good shout tho.

Don`t see why a young manager with nearly two years in management behind him, leading a team punching above their weight with a tiny budget isn`t good enough.
He likes to play attacking football by all accounts. Something we`ve been starved of in recent years. He`s well respected by his clubs fans and other fans in that league he`s operating in. I`d rather him than an experienced Yogi type.

Great posts from Berry and Kelty further up.
Let`s all bury any doubts we may have and give Michael Tidser a chance to show what he can do. Some folk appear to have ignored the fact that we almost certainly couldn`t afford some of the alternatives they propose and/or they might not be interested in the job.
What does John McLaughlan`s managerial CV look like? And yet, on the basis of two games, some posters are suggesting we give him the job rather than Tidser. Even though he reportedly doesn`t want it. Seriously? 🤔

picking up on tidsers 37% win rate at Kelty then coming out with lennon (22% win rate at bolton/38% at Omonia and 0% win rate in his last role) is a bit of a wild suggestion. Similarly with Neil Mccann 33% and 37% win rate in his 2 roles and not managed for 3 years.

Win rates are meaningless without some context - and even then, it depends on whether you`re picking up points in the games you are not winning.
Kieran McKenna had a winning percentage of 61% in league matches over the last two seasons. This season, he`s sitting at 15%. Based on the raw data, it looks like he`s completely lost his touch.

Not a problem because we know what the answer is don’t we ? Blind faith. Pure and simple.
There are large sections of our support that live in a complete fantasy world and will happily go along with anything they are told. Never question anything .
You have made your point, to which you are entitled to, on a number of occasions on a few threads.
All I am asking is how often you have to repeat that ?
I’ll repeat it as often as I want and until someone can explain what makes Micheal Tidser the number one candidate to manage Dunfermline Athletic.
A win percentage of about 37% according to wiki. That has to set alarm bells off surely . Howling record.
Maybe we should go for Rhys McCabe. I`ve just checked on "wiki" there and up until the end of last season he had a stonking 59% win rate. I am not too sure as to how well he is doing this season after losing key players etc? Maybe you could enlighten me about that one. Statistics are key after all.

There`s plenty of context for Tidser`s win rate, he took over a club in turmoil, money men gone and a depleted playing squad, he kept them in the league, they`re challenging and allegedly play attacking football.
I just don`t get the negativity after the dirge and half hearted garbage under McPake.

Having gained a bit of momentum under John McLaughlan and the players taking on his ideas, is there a danger we might lose that if a new manager comes in and possibly changes things again? I suppose that`s always a risk when a caretaker manager is appointed to cover the gap between managers but there`s been such an improvement under JM it seems a bigger risk now somehow. I`m not suggesting we stick with JM because, reading between the lines, I don`t think he`d be interested and the Tidser appointment seems to be more or less confirmed but I hope there would be a bit of consultation between the two when MT arrives.

If that were the case I don`t think JM would have had the sleepless nights he said he suffered. I also think he said he watched PT`s last two games to study their style of play and decide on his game plan. He would have access to much more info on them than Tidser would.

I would be extremely surprised if he had anything to do with anything Dunfermline just yet - from both parties perspectives.
he’s not in employment of the club, would not be allowed to see confidential information about players fitness etc. and he wouldn’t want to do it from his perspective anyway because if we’d lost the two games, that could question his appointment or would impact any negotiations
Let’s just enjoy the wins, give John a large Pat on the back, and look forward to what’s coming next now our players may have renewed belief that with the right set up, their efforts can yield results!

Some pretty disrespectful comments regarding John. The idea that the new manager has had any involvement in our win at the weekend is absurd.
I think John has done brilliantly well job for the club. Tidser getting credit before a ball has been kicked.
John has done brilliantly in a very short period of time leading the players, and although I wouldn`t mind him continuing, I`m happy with the Tidser appointment.
I think it`s important to keep in mind that we don`t know what positive (or negative) impact there might have been simply by McPake/Mackay not being there.

Lennon had money to spend at both celtic and hibs. Not so sure about the other teams he`s been at.

Only time will reveal the truth. Will the new proprietors commit to long-term? We can only speculate, and the odds seem unfavorable. Nevertheless, should good times lie ahead we should enjoy it.
They are assuming control of our club to leverage their sports analytics enterprise. Essentially, AI will dictate player selections, formations, and more. Several teams across Europe, such as Liverpool, Brentford, and Brighton, have already adopted this approach, with Brighton, in my estimation, excelling in identifying players for their specific needs. I am uncertain whether they utilise it for tactical strategies.
Today, an article appeared in the Courier Sports, discussing the forthcoming resources the club will gain post-takeover.

Admin - is it possible to include a ‘block’ function on the forum. Therefore we can block those we don’t wish to hear the views of, I think it would make the forum a much healthier place.
I’m an adult and I can’t handle different views.
I know what I’ll sign up to a football forum.
Mate all your doing is arguing with folk and trolling, its a bit cringe considering you said you`ve been watching the pars for 30 years if im not mistaken, weird way to act at ur fine old age bud
Well is it not utter cringe that someone your age is on a football forum with middle aged old men talking about the pars rather than getting their hole?

Firstly, hats off to John McLaughlan for what he has achieved in the two games he has been in charge. Same players but what a transformation.
It`s incredible, that some people think Tidser hasn`t yet achieved anything in football. Apart from being a reasonable player, he has managed to get Kelty up into the promotion play-off places with a small club that had just lost their main financial backer and management team and that were favourites to go back down the leagues. The money spent on players and their salaries strongly correlates with footballing success. I suspect Tidser has managed to achieve a lot when you consider the budget he probably had to work with at Kelty. I am also encouraged by the reported positive comments from the Kelty fans.
The AndyBirds of this world would no doubt have been scathing about the appointment of Jock Stein, Bert Paton and Jim Leishman because at the time they weren`t an older experienced name. Imagine the meltdown (on a dotnet equivalent had it existed) way back then if we had appointed a young Sir Alex from East Stirlingshire or after he had been fired by St Mirren!
Rather than getting another older retreaded manager - possibly with older ideas - I like that we have been ambitious enough to be prepared to pay compensation to get an up-and-coming younger manager.
Hopefully, the new majority owners will be able to invest more money into the first team than the Germans did, and we can bring in a few players in this window to improve the squad and get us out of the relegation zone.
Over the medium term let`s hope a Moneyball approach also succeeds and helps us punch above our financial weight. The performances and the seven goals scored in the last two matches against the league leaders and a playoff spot team clearly showed where much of the problem lay (which we all knew) so hopefully we are already well on the way on the journey to safety.
It will depend on the level of finances the new majority owners can bring, but I hope they will also be able to continue to fund JMcL and progress the youth development. JMcL can really assist the new manager when he comes in as he has a good knowledge of the players and what some of the problems were.
Who knows - maybe if the new majority owners and manager do manage to turn things around we might after all achieve in part what the Germans said they wanted to do, and in a few years become an established Premier League team with a good youth development set up and training base.
Like Lessliepartoo, RedStarPar, Berry and Raymie I too am quite encouraged by Tidser`s appointment. It is a risk - Yes but for me shows a bit of ambition. Who knows it might just pan out really well with improved results and a team that is more entertaining to watch. Let`s welcome the new majority owners and manager and give them a chance.

I have never been in the we demand and update brigade, the powers to be should be allowed to do their stuff and inform us when they see fit. However I do feel that an update in the current circumstancestage should be considered. Obviously there is a case for keeping cards close to the chest when seeking a new manager, but it does not appear to be a secret that we are after Tidser and Kelty are apparently playing silly bu**ers. If that is the case say so and if they are being ridiculous in their demands, is there a case of pulling out meantime? We appear to have a capable caretaker manager who could possibly take the job on to the end of the season and we could then get Tidser free if the information is correct about his contract ending then. That would leave Kelty`s play offs hopes wavering as they would have a manager who doesn`t want to be there, possibly the playing staff too as well as the supporters.

Would be ideal if things went through before the weekend, despite our position there’s as much positivity as there’s been in a while and I’m sure if business is tied up off the field it would see a sizeable attendance against Ayr.

The board are not going to provide an ongoing commentary on confidential negotiations until all is settled.
The rest is just conjecture mixed with rumours, some with substance, depending on the source, others not.
Provides entertaining discussion nevertheless.

I have no knowledge of what the situation is. but just maybe it is the new majority owners that will be paying the compensation to Kelty, and they will do that once approval has been given for their takeover by the authorities. I suspect we may well hear something pretty soon.

It`ll be obvious whom he is if he does return so get him black carded immediately.
