But it appears strange that the club were leaking info to Tom English and Richard Gordon on their intentions following a defeat at Hibs, if they hadn't made plans that they were prepared to act upon. Essentially the club have added extra pressure to the players ahead of the game that could have contributed to them losing, and all for what purpose? Link to comment

Do you think McInnes is on a 3 month notice period!? Then bringing in some part time manager on a short term basis (why!?) is another wage. How is that saving money? I'm assuming McInnes it not going to negotiate so paying him monthly is cheaper than lump sum. If you still don't understand then google 'time value of money' Link to comment
Betty Swallicks Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Very little chance of the pressure easing this month unless we beat St Mirren and Killi convincingly and take something off the tims at least once. I really can't see that happening on current (2years) form. He'll be under even more pressure if anything. Link to comment

Crossbow Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 St Mirren game a six pointer as their form clearly superior to ours now. Goodwin v McInnes. Big budget against little. How will go? Link to comment
Guest Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I still wouldn't put it past him to pull a couple results out the bag, and Hibs to fuck it somehow. It would still just be papering over cracks, however. Link to comment

I'm sure they do but ultimately McInnes makes the call. If Sheerin is in charge he does everything his own way. Either way, I don't want any of them in charge so who cares! Link to comment

Yea I'm happy enough with Robson and Sheerin but others seem so dead against it so I'm providing a compromise. It's saving money versus taking a manager that requires compensation. It's delaying him getting a backroom team until next season It's delaying negotiating with mcinnes until next season Link to comment
Durrant Dived Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 We need 12 points minimum from the games before the split(assuming the tims pap us x 2). Link to comment

It would still just be papering over cracks, however. I can only see them stretching their lead between now and the split. They don't have to face the arse cheeks again till then, and only face Livingston of anyone (currently) in the top seven We've got 2 away fixtures with Celtic (admittedly 1 of them is a game in hand) and have missed facing them in the period when they were dropping points on a weekly basis. And our injury list just keeps growing week on week on top. Even with a new boss on board, I can't see anything other than nul points in these games Hibs are notorious for Hibsing it of course but I think they will have enough of a lead over us by the time any new manager manages to steady our ship that they could afford to lose to us after the split and still have enough of a lead to have no worries about us overhauling them Link to comment
CalgaryDon Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Fully expect dogs abuse for this controversial post. I appreciate the criticism and scrutiny McInnes is under but I'd be sad to see him leave. Personally (and for many younger fans) this is the most successful period of supporting Aberdeen I've witnessed and that is due to McInnes. In that same period, Hibs, Hearts (twice) and Dundee Utd have all been relegated and we've won a cup. McInnes has been incredibly unfortunate the past 2 seasons to finish fourth. We'd have finished 3rd last season had it not been cut short. The season prior, a last minute penalty awarded to Killie that was a blatant dive prevented us third (it was killie's best points tally ever in the league). I also recall we should have finished 2nd in McInnes' first season - a blatant foul on Langfield in the last minute of the season. Prior to that I've witnessed Paterson, McGhee, Ebbe etc. Terrible managers. Aside from the Europa league's last 32 and one 3rd place finish, Calderwood's greatest achievement was consistent top 6 finishes. Injuries, Kamberi's visa, the forced sale of players etc have not helped in recent weeks. I agree the style of football recently has been shocking to watch, his tactics have been wrong, certain signings have been poor and this latest run of results is relegation form. However we are currently 4th in the league and if we beat Hibs in the top 6 split and starting this weekend can get back to winning ways we can still finish 3rd (which given our resources is where we should finish). McInnes brought the club back up from historically Aberdeens worst period (1998-2012). I feel he deserves criticism but he also deserves respect for what he's done during his time here. Others may rightfully argue that a change is required. IMO there is no one I'm aware of currently available that would be a better option then McInnes. It would be an expensive move that might not lead to a better appointment. My fear is a change would revert us back into the days of bottom six football. 9 1 1 Link to comment
