I'm both but I doubt i'd take away my backing if we lost 20 games in a row edit: financial backing im meaning of course id be at the main stand front door in that instance I've got both and wouldn't have renewed this year but my mate went down and renewed without telling me, so I felt obliged to keep it on this year. As it stands right now, I'm not going to renew. I'm not going to continue to pay top dollar for charlatans on the park and the dug out who obviously don't give a fuck. Link to comment

Happy clappers like me and folk that have been to 2 games in 10 years dont count (or have contributed equivalent through dna / merchandise) Link to comment
The Gee Man Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 The next few days media interviews will help tell a story. Either same old same old no probing questions or reporters with balls actually asking the club the questions fans want answered. Link to comment

Not a chance they’re getting £220 off me or whatever it is, for DNA, if McInnes is still there. How many DNAers are there? Would a 50% drop off in numbers be the rough amount needed to pay off the management team? Probably not. But it would be not far off. Cormack will be well aware of the consequences of keeping him next season. Link to comment

It doesn't need to be the amount required for mcinnes, which as ive said ten times we wont be paying in a one-er, it just needs to be a significant drop off of contributers. Say 20% drop but its hard to measure as some may not be able to afford and some may drop regardless of whether we finish 2nd or 6th due to lack of crowds the next few years Link to comment

Me continuing this is under review and strongly dependent on whether McInnes is in the dugout or not. Stays i may not, goes and I'm in. 5 hours ago, Zeus said: Both and want him gone. I said about a year to 18 months ago he should go and would go with the vast majorities good grace. (he's been due the dunt for 2 years imo) That's long gone and it's becoming more toxic by the week. With no sight of fans getting back, terrible fitba and results on show next season is going to be a hard sell for cormack if things dont change ASAP Agree with this also. I've been bored out of my skull since McInnes hit his peak in 2017 when his best team broke up. The last few seasons have been a struggle, and got to say that during lockdown restrictions I've not missed going to the game that much. Missed the camaraderie with my fellow fans pre and post match, but that's about it. Link to comment

Even mcinnes eye bleeding football would be decent after a year off Once restrictions are lifted and fans are allowed back I'll probably be more than happy to go back. Even more so if McInnes is gone. The guys on the 'Here we go' podcast touched on it yesterday by saying that if Aberdeen continue to persist with McInnes that fans can very easily get out of the habit of going and find something else better to do instead. Look at the recent record, it wouldn't have me rushing back if I could. 3 wins in 11 1 away win in our last 9 games in all competitions Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 The withdrawing financial support is hardly ideal but it’s all we’ve got.

I'm unsure if in an ideal world that McInnes would still be here if fans were allowed in the grounds. The bile spewed forth in his direction would make it impossible for Cormack not to act.

Ten Caat Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I know McInnes has said no more squad additions. But our back line is pretty much decimated by injury/old age/being on holiday with their wife. Even if it's just a couple loans to tide us through, Cormack has no option other than to loosen the purse strings or else our season could become a sudden total burst. Downside is by doing so, it likely makes any immediate change to the managerial situation very unlikely....certainly not until summer anyway. Link to comment

Aye I think we'll end up getting a defender in on loan from somewhere. And some Hun on loan as part of the Wright deal. And then we'll go again as Derek likes to say. Link to comment

What I’m trying to say is if we keep McInnes, the amount we’d lose by dropping season tickets sales/DNA would be a good proportion of the amount we’d need to pay him off. I think it’ll be a far tougher sell if he’s there as opposed to a new manager and the interest & renewed enthusiasm that should hopefully bring. Link to comment
