I personally don’t want to see Davidson, Naysmith, Davies, Petrie or Thomson anywhere near the club.
Out of that list anyway I’d be happy with Kettlewell or Murray.
I think Kettlewell is a good manager and thought we should have appointed Murray instead of Tidser.

I would expect a pretty decent name to be given 7 games to get us out of trouble for a substantial bonus ( saving a lot of money if we have to have a season in league 1).
Then mutually decide if a deal will be done for longer.
Our targets for the summer signings will all be aimed at getting us out of the championship not back up to it!
We will never know but I wouldn`t be surprised if a squad bonus/incentive isn`t on the table from today for the players to keep us up too. Our new owners mean business as clearly shown by the sacking.
It`s an exciting time to be a Pars fan.

For what it’s worth aswell I always find it amazing Billy Davies is always mentioned when our job becomes available, like seriously how long ago did he manage a team?

Really unsure why Davidson is appealing to folk, he’s just been fired by Queens Park who have been on a poor run of form and has been criticised for his style of play.
Murray or Kettlewell I think it really has to be to get fans on side unless they pull something out the hat.

Well they would need to make it worthwhile for him as he`s still on the Wee team`s payroll. That disappears the moment he gets another management job. However I would like to see him here. He knows the league inside out and feel there maybe a fire in his belly after being sacked.

Can anyone locate the odds from the bookmakers regarding the next managerial appointment? They typically become available following a manager`s dismissal, yet I cannot seem to find any. Mcbookie normally quick with this. I believe Kettlewell is poised to assume the role. It is unlikely they would have terminated Tidser`s contract without a successor already in place.

Davidsons remit is surely just to keep Queen’s Park up. He won a cup double at st Johnstone, arguably the greatest achievement in Scottish football history considering the resources. After which he lost all his star players for absolute peanuts, and was given next to nothing to replace them. This season he knocked rangers out the cup at ibrox, after losing his star player half way through. Incredible people are turning their nose up at him after what we’ve had in the last 20 years.

Time will tell if that was a wise decision.

They’re always going to be a mid table team in this league.

I wasn`t convinced Tidser was part of the vision of the new owners, more likely they`ve respected the judgement of those around the club that they have been working with and it`s been sold as them being involved.
It would appear the attendance at the Falkirk game was related to Tidser rather than a general visit. Disappointed with what they saw they`ve given Tidser a must improve ultimatum and with Friday`s effort MT knew his fate from the tv coverage and the decision not to give an interview.
Based on that they will have had someone in mind.

If the rumours are true about Kettlewell then hopefully it pays off. He wouldn’t be my first choice but he has massively improved players like Theo Blair who were going nowhere at St Johnstone and brought through a few youth players who look to have promising futures.
I have to laugh at the so called sports experts on social media and likes of Mick Kennedy who are giving us stick for sacking Tidser so early on. The board deserve stick for hiring him in the first place but most of them have probably never been to a Pars game and have no idea how bad the football was - so why do they think they have a right to comment? They don’t have a clue. Tidser’s arrogance to not change the tactics is what cost him his job and I suspect he lost the dressing room as well.

Parrot your right,
It’ll be likely someone will come in with the aim to keep us up and if that’s achieved a contract already in place for next season.

Yes, I was told that about Scott brown too, I was surprised but the guy who told me was there when SB said it and I trust him.

It’s Ian Murray for me although I do think Paul Hartley might be worth considering. Thoughts?
Paul Hartley would be Grant and Hughes levels of seethe.

Absolutely not Paul Hartley, he really f**ked Falkirk up to extreme levels and it took them years to recover. Hard no.

Pars job would surely be more appealing to anyone out of they 2 in particular.
It’s basically a clean slate in the summer with so few players signed up. Major rebuild for anyone who gets it, surely that’ll be tempting
Not if we get relegated.

You talk about clean slate in the summer but what will put a lot of prospective candidates off is the recruitment model. Many experienced managers will want to go for a more traditional set up of having greater autonomy to pick their own players.

This, clean slate in the summer is only good if your getting to pick your own players.
If your given a pool of raw young loans with a success rate of 1 in 6 at best you’d be thinking your were hamstrung before you even started.

Get Jimmy Nicholl in until end of season.
I heard that Scott Brown was surprised he wasn`t approached when the club sacked McPake. He sees Dunfermline as a bigger club than Ayr and would have been interested. Is he someone that we could approach at the end of the season if we appointed a temporary manager until the end of the season.
I think he’d be an interesting appointment inn the summer. He’s obviously from the west/central fife area so might want to get closer to his family 🤷🏻♂️
Anyway I’d say he’d have potential to be a good manager.
I’m personally leaning toward Kettlewell but Brown, Kettlewell or Murray is my top 3

Is there a chance that we basically got in the players we could in January rather than Tidser not being able to pick his own players?
I think the new board only took over about a week before the transfer window shut 🤔

The weirdest thing happened to me this afternoon. My phone rang and a recorded (male) voice informed me that he was in recruitment and I should add his number to my WhatsApp contacts.
It sounded like David Cook. Maybe I`m being head hunted. 🤔

I thought I was special when I got the call, too.

I`m too modest to send my CV in as it would blow everyone else`s out of the water. It`s hard to be humble when you`re as good as I am, ken? 😁

I get were a shambles the now and I understand the scepticism of new owners but give them a chance ffs, constant negativity when for me the signs are the owners mean business.
This nonsense that only JCM has kicked a ball from the new boys is true in a sense but Bray, Rivaldo, Hampson, Young and Raymond have not had a proper chance to show what they can do so to say the analytics doesn`t work based off a rushed January transfer window when they have just taken over the club is nonsense.
I`ll get shot for it but I think there`s a player in Yeboah, he`s playing outwide which isn`t his position, he`s very young and playing in a totally new league. Plus we`re a sh1te team underperforming. I actually like Oakley boothe and I`d be interested to see him with a full preseason under his belt but would concede he is underperforming and Steven`s is similar.
They realised Tidser was a mistake and a very big one at that but they aren`t accepting whimpering to league one, the next appointment is massive but if we stay up there`s a lot to be excited about. I know that`s asking fifers to be positive which is a long shot.

Good post and liking the optimism.
The usuals are waiting to pounce on the new manager without putting their own necks on the line with who they`d like I see.

Kind of hit the nail on the head there.
These guys were never brought in nor expected to be our saviours this season, clearly are to have a good look at, and possibly some are for the future. No one (apart from Paul Hartley at Falkirk) expects academy graduates to suddenly be world beaters as soon as they play mens football.
Statistically, no matter where they served the apprenticeship few make it in full time football full stop, from what I`ve seen, at least 3 look as if there`s a future there-there may not be
We had a rushed transfer window, including having to get a new manager.
No, I had no sense who should have replaced McPake, Tidser was clearly out of his depth, but again I have no sense who should be the new one, I stopped thinking after Yogi.
I still think, with some drilling, and working within the players abilities we will pick up points.
I think we have a few decent players at this level, but clearly we have a few who are simply not at this level, our problems (midfield strength supporting the forwards) fall apart simply by Otoo having to go back in defence due to defensive inadequacies/injuries.
We know this, we can`t solve it until the new season, and we just need to organise now.
I absolutely don`t believe the players are anything other than decent honest pros-most of them know they will be looking for new clubs/a full time job in a few weeks.
