My view, nothing for it but to support the team.
This appointment might be genius,he might keep us up,and given we are only 12 points from 4th, he has a chance to take us up the league.

There is obviously a but......

He has been in discussions with the club while mcpake was manager. This is wrong from both sides.

If nelms wanted to sack mcpake,then that is his decision to make,but for me, sack the manager then look for a new one. Anyone who wants the job will wait. Essentially,what I get from this is if McGhee said no,mcpake would still be manager,and would remain till nelms got someone to say yes.

Mcghee then,was offered a vacancy that was not vacant,in effect, " we will sack him if you take the job"

Mcghee then becomes responsible for mcpake being sacked and not nelms.

My other problem is we should be looking for the best available manager. I would guess if you asked a million football fans in Scotland to name who the best is, none would say mcghee.wouldnt be in any of their top ten even,and probably not in the top 100
