The Airdrie Facebook page (comments) have been speculating about this since the defeat to us last Saturday. Apparently there was a huge fall out between McCabe and a few of the board members. Most/all the comments have been deleted now, which makes the speculation even greater.

According to the Record -
`It is understood McCabe has become increasingly frustrated by the lack of a new striker in the squad.
The Diamonds have let a number of key players go this summer, including star striker Ben Wilson for a fee around £200,000, but that hasn`t been reinvested in the playing squad.`

I could understand his frustration about the lack of a striker. Watching them last week I thought they have decent creative outlets but Mochrie really struggled physically as the lone front man.

From the Record -
Former Dunfermline boss James McPake is understood to be among the contenders to replace Rhys McCabe at Airdrieonians.
The Diamonds are on the hunt for a new gaffer after McCabe stepped down on Friday, citing the desire to spend more time with his family.
However, our sister title Lanarkshire Live Sport reported that issues behind the scenes played a major role, with McCabe frustrated with the club`s hierarchy amid a lack of transfer dealings.
Club chairman Paul Hetherington is now drawing up a shortlist of candidates to take the reins at New Broomfield.
And it`s understood that McPake is one option on the table with the board keen on the former Pars and Dundee boss.

McPake is a good manager.
He was given a poison chalice last season, no money=no new players.
He got us out Div 1 at the first time of asking.
Good luck to him if he gets it.

I`m still of the view there was more to the McPake situation than just a lack of funds. Other clubs have had far less money to spend. I think he made a mistake by essentially spending what money there was on long contracts on players who ended up letting him down. I don`t mean they intentionally let him down but it was obvious we had a team that was knackered through injuries and through having little to no back up meaning no turnaround in players on the pitch. I would guess some players got long contracts in return for lower wage expectations, which is fair enough.
While I think he`s a good manager, the issue at Airdrie will be they come out with a new team each season pretty much.

Managerial appointments are a big risk unless you can pay for proven results eg Lennon.
McPake has had success and failure … both experiences might make him better - but he might not get a chance to show that at the right level again. Seems to me that coaches/assistant managers can rumble on for quite some time. Managers put their b@ws on the block every week. They possibly deserve a bit more grace than we - the average fan - afford them.

don’t think anyone can question McPake as a guy, he was always decent enough with the fans when he spoke. The problem was he handed out contract extensions to the wrong players. The football wasn’t great even when we won the league, and once we went up, his tactics were quickly found out at Championship level.

That`s one interpretation. Another is that he did what was asked of him by getting us into the Championship and keeping us there; then the board didn`t support him in the transfer market. I suspect that`s what he`ll be telling the Airdrie board if he gets an interview.

I think McPake had a rough time with us, it was the correct decision to sack him, but I think the club were more to blame.
First season in Championship we were fine before the worst injury crisis I can remember, we were running on fumes.
Next season was a recruitment car crash, one goalie, etc. we seemed to have guys on trial forever before going somewhere else.most of that was on the owners as we had to panic sign ageing has been etc.
I wish him luck, he`s limited but he surely has another full time gig in him

He mentioned he’s coming off Twitter because of a “muppet” on there. From about 12 mins to 21 he talks about his time at Dunfermline and he says he doesn’t blame the pitch for the poor results and actually spoke quite well about "the chairman" , said he was decent.
Yeah, I really enjoyed listening to him and was glad to hear he wasn’t making excuses either.
I thought he spoke really well about the chairman too, especially when you compare it to some of the comments you see about him on here.
One part I found particularly interesting was when Si Ferry asked if there was anything he’d do differently in future. He explained that when he first joined the club, the owners’ expectation was simply to reach the League 1 play-offs. Then, once promotion was achieved, the focus shifted to just staying in the league. He admitted he just accepted that at the time, but in hindsight, he was surprised by the defeatist attitude around the place. He genuinely felt the club should be aiming for the Premiership, and said in the future, he’d be more demanding and push to raise the standards.
He also spoke about how the lack of data analysis and how he wished he had appointed someone when he had the opportunity to. Players were asking for footage and analysis data, and he was having to send them away until after training, then sit and do it himself in the afternoon. Obviously that’s an area that’s improved now, which can only be a good thing.

Maybe a bit naïve from him that there was “no pressure”. he should have nipped that at the time. The board wanted playoffs, but McPake wanted to win league 1. Then in the Championship the board’s target was avoiding relegation while McPake wanted to push for playoffs. He spoke well about the fanbase too.
Said when you lose games, especially younger players, they tend to hide behind the excuse of “we never went over that in training” instead of taking responsibility never mentioned which team he experienced this at though.
McPake wanted an analyst but it wasn’t seen as a big priority by the Germans. He gave the example of Josh Edwards wanting to go over clips on a Monday, but they had to tell him to wait until the mcpake or dave clipped it up. Pretty criminal in this day and age that we never had one.

It might just be that the club genuinely didn’t have anyone in that role when McPake was there, or at least not in the way he’d have liked. Could’ve been part time or shared across different areas, or just not as in depth as he would have liked.
He could also use that kind of line to underline how limited resources were, it doesn’t necessarily mean there was no one at all, more that he didn’t feel he had a proper dedicated analyst. If he’s saying it, there’s probably some truth to it, even if things are different now.

FFS... are you serious? £45k? Generally, Australians` pay is slightly higher than in the UK, but the salary for a graduate you quote is way out of kilter with reality. $36,000 should be about right. The Pars may be quoting a wee bit low, but there`s a thing called negotiation.

I was shocked how low that salary was. You’d struggle to keep a decent standard of living as a single person for that never mind support a family.
I guess it is the market though, a lot of guys doing these degrees because they want to be involved in football so the money won’t be great in a competitive field. I’d imagine if you prove to be great at it you can maybe earn a bit more though.

Likewise the job doesn`t sound like it needs the capabilities of the financial sector though, just decent capabilities -from the job description (I`ve worked on football betting for 20+ years all over the world) this sounds like a decent starting job, not needing Einstein
Quoting other countries salaries is meaningless, the UK proportionally dominates this area, hence the high salaries in the field-theres a reason why it`s so big.
Sports analysis isn`t hard to recruit in betting , I`m guessing football is even easier-getting genuinely very good people (and not some corporate hogwash like `amazing staff`) is more difficult -this position may not need top drawer, but someone capable and crucially motivated.

DBP said: A degree educated graduate with no experience will be on at least £45k with most edinburgh financial institutions and consultancies.
FFS... are you serious? £45k? Generally, Australians` pay is slightly higher than in the UK, but the salary for a graduate you quote is way out of kilter with reality. $36,000 should be about right. The Pars may be quoting a wee bit low, but there`s a thing called negotiation.
What year was that? Australian graduates can earn double that! The UK average (according to Google) is slightly less at £40k (obviously an average so it can be higher or lower depending on the field of work).
However, this is for someone with a couple of years under their belt rather than a new graduate! Really low pay IMO.

£2.3k a month around £28k a year before tax? isn’t exactly life changing money when you factor in the qualifications they’re asking for. UEFA C (and the cost this costs to aquire) plus a degree, on top of the fact you’re probably expected to live and breathe the game.
Analyst gigs at that level usually mean long days prepping during the week, endless video work, reports, travelling to away games, then weekends taken up with matches so probably 6 or 7 days a week. It’s not a “9 to 5 type of gig.
That said, I`d assume it`s the going rate in the Championship. Most likely be a guy who is a pars supporter that holds these types of qualifications that will get the gig. I sure the physio is a pars supporter.
c'mon the pars

Y, sounds like it`s for a fan, or someone already in the game.
The key attraction is working for a football club-its certainly a conversation starter, we don`t pay high salaries, I think the attraction is working inside the game.
If you had a side hustle -and I would expect someone with this background will have, then its attractive.

Lloyds current graduate trainee starting salary is £45k
Current graduate trainee position at my place is c.£40-45k (but it’s not a bank)
My middle one’s starting salary as graduate 3yrs ago at a competitor to my place was £44k
My oldest one started as a graduate - totally different domain and not financial services on over £40k and that was a while back

I think it`s fair to say that no one saw that appointment coming!
ETA - His first signing is going to be Charlie Telfer apparently.
