    Hertz offering him the chance to replace Harry Potter maybe? Ah no they're the big team so it will be Mourinho they'll be going for.

    I fear it is.
    Dundee Utd, Inverness and perhaps Dunfermline will be teed up for a fast start.
    If McPake can't match them he could be done by Christmas.

    Me too.

    Really liked him as a player, he wasn’t without faults as a defender but he certainly gave everything he had. If he can get his players to play with the same attitude he played with he’ll be a good manager.

    I met him when he was Hibs captain and he didn't come across well, I was left really disappointed. (On the other hand, Eoin Doyle was a star). But I'm gonna be the bigger person and wish him well- he will need it for sure!!

    Whole hearted player, with limited ability. Always treated the club with respect, wish him good luck. He’s going to need it.m

    Stubbs was far more expensive than their current manager. In fact Stubbs was on more than Jack. Nowhere near a cheap option for St Mirren. Main reason they panicked.

    From my experience with him and a few other stories from people who encountered him the guy was/is a complete bellend.

    Good luck though!

    As a player/captain I wasn't his biggest fan, but we had a lot worse in the squad at the time.

    Can't really see him having much success as a manager. We shall see...

    Tough job for such a young and inexperienced manager. I hope he does well there.

    Nothing against him personally as I’ve never met him but the likes of McPake just remind me of dark and miserable times following Hibs.

    That's mad, who's he going to instead?

    Also, good to see Dundee posting that massive club statement about wanting to sign a manager with a solid win percentage and top tier experience instead of a young unproven guy.. Then appointing a young unproven guy.

    What other options? Won't be Killie if they're looking at the likes of Di Matteo.

    I fancy Dundee to be in a relegation dogfight again.

    Dundee chairman said he wanted an experienced manager
    Appointing McPake doesn’t meet this criteria???
