RUL Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Yeah, confirms mcinnes knows it. Seems his comments were at Cormack not the fans. Link to comment

Yeah, just read Richard’s column in the P&J Clearly, moves are afoot. In fact, you can rewind to early Jan. One minute, we are bringing in GMS and Brophy, the next, nobody. It’s obvious DC marked McInnes’ card right there and then, which has been followed by the County and Livvie debacles and will have the resultant affect tomorrow Link to comment

TBH I never see the point in giving a manager a game or two to save his job. It never ends well. I mean if McInnes wins and keeps his job, how is his relationship with Cormack going to be after this.

Guest milne_afc Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Really poor and cheap from Cormack. Just sack him and pay up. Link to comment
Ten Caat Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Can only be a matter of time till he's gone then. It would be pretty pointless making the threat only for the Hibs match and not for the St Mirren and Celtic games. I've never wanted us to lose a game but if he's a dead man walking it's surely best to get things over an done with quickly and get a new era started Link to comment

But I can't think of any other time where a manager has come back from the "game to save your job" situation. Link to comment

Regardless of the decline over the past few years. No one can deny the good that McInnes has done for us and he deserves way more respect than having this shit leaked, any niggle between him and Cormack shouldn't come into it. Very poor from AFC if this is indeed what is happening. Link to comment

Despite what I might have previously said, I’m not sure in Robson and Sheerin can stabilise us for the remainder of the season so I can only assume somebody is lined up. Link to comment
ericblack4boss Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Richard got will have his finger on the pulse, And Tbf, in the last month, he has made the odd remark or suggestion that the sleekit ones time is coming to an end. I think can rejoice that change is coming but maybe not as quick as we want Link to comment
ericblack4boss Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Yes mcinnes has done a decent job, but thats it, He excelled in a league bereft of big clubs, but proved to be nothing more than adequate, and average since 1 Link to comment

Keep it professional and show the man some respect. He has been our manager for nearly 8 years after all . This is not the correct way to end it. Quite disappointed by things being handled this way. 2 Link to comment

1983 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 1 minute ago, rocket_scientist said: This. Not surprising unfortunately but there are proper ways to do things and improper ways. Cormack is reacting to fan pressure but in reality, this should've been in planning well over a year ago. We will soon see how effective he is as chairman by the successor he announces. Agree. Said similar yesterday. Stephen Glass would be a disaster with this current squad. We need a leader of men who the players respect and fear in equal measure, otherwise any attempt to implement a new style or ethos will fail spectacularly. Link to comment
sooth_stander Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Also, Cormack’s remarks the other week, where he said rumours and innuendos were “ CRAP” - what was he getting at? And, if we are to move to a more progressive DoF setup with a head coach, why aren’t we signing players on pre contracts now, irrespective of the current managers situation? Lastminute.com as per?

Agree. Not only from an integrity point of view, but also from a leadership point of view. Mcinnes should be answerable to the board behind closed doors without the need for press leverage from leaks. Pussy behaviour Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Aye. If you want the man gone then just deal with it behind closed doors and get it done quickly and as painlessly as possible. The 'one match to save your job' stuff is poor leadership. You should have arrived at a decision that is bigger than one single match. Link to comment

Pussy behaviour Mcinnes is the fucking master of playing the press, he has had 8yrs of unfettered arselicking, and the last 2 years of non accountability, so perhaps he can't complain when the tables are turned 3 Link to comment

But it's a decent shout I believe he has retired from the coaching management side, but a dof role might well suit him, He has an endless list of contacts, he's worked at numerous clubs, He was an agent. So knows that side of things. And he has never shown anything but respect for AFC. I'm in. 1 Link to comment
