Aberdeen sack Derek McInnes

[V for Vendetta]

Scotland need a manager.

McLeish will be in the job for ages yet.

 

Jobs for the boys, hun manager turn etc

[Jocky Balboa]

Unless he has an impressive transfer window in January, I can see us finishing 5th this season and that would be a real test of the Board's resolve... McInnes' stock would reduce significantly, in a climate where a manager (rightly or wrongly) is only as good as his last milestone, so he'd be unlikely to net his coveted big English gig. That said, would the Board be keen to persevere with him, and if so, would they give him big funds to rebuild and rally again?

I doubt it.

 

The board are not happy with how Forrester and Gleeson are showing up given the cash parted with to take them to the club.

Herein lies the biggest problem with the McInnes era; his very shaky record on recruitment. Last season was the first time in 5 that he had any real competition for runners-up spot (OK, Motherwell robbed us the first time with that last-minute foul and goal) and while we got over the line, I feel it papered over many cracks. Additionally, the Burnley result, while a heroic effort, masks the fact that, Sociedad and Burnley aside, we have had many golden opportunities to progress in Europe but blew it several times. 

 

The title being a foregone conclusion aside, the SPL is a very competitive arena now, with Hearts, HIbs, Zombies and even Kilmarnock all staking a claim for European places. The playing field has caught up significantly the last few years, while McInnes continues to make the same mistakes over and over, with little if any indication that he will learn from them.

Agreed.

 

I think it's highly unlikely we will finish as high as 2nd again this season.

 

Though accepting that many said that last year, grim predictions appear more justified this time around.

 

Hope to be pleasantly surprised, and that we can click into a lengthy winning run such has happened on many occasions under the boy.

It will be interesting finding oot.

[muttonhumper]

How do you know that?

 

It's a good question.

 

Probably not one I should be answering on a public forum though.

 

I'm sure you trust me as one not to make up shite. Never have done, never will.

 

Talking shite obviously is a different thing altogether.

I can do that alright. 

[Jocky Balboa]

The thing is, much as I hold Milne accountable as the chief Wig Wam Bam behind our underachievement of the last 20+ years, if I were him I wouldn't entrust a significant transfer budget to McInnes, given his relatively poor recruitment record. I would also point at his even poorer record of giving youth a fair shot.

[BWG]

Milne thinks the sun shines out of McClueless' arse. Hopefully other directors see him for the mediocre at best manager that he actually is and don't sanction anymore transfer fees for utter dung.

I doubt if any thoughts of getting rid of McInnes at the end of the season won't register with the board , even if we failed to make the top 6.  I think he's under contract until the end of next season , so , barring anything catastrophic like actually being relegated or a humiliating cup exit, he'll be allowed next season to see if results improve. If there's no improvement  then ,chances are he won't be offered a new contract.

 

And it'll be Ian McCall next

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

I reckon McInnes would make a decent Scotland manager actually. I've been on the fence about him so that would be a fine way for him to go.

McClueless, that's brilliant.

[Sonoftherock]

Lol

 

We will click soon and you will all be forced to apologise

 

Gleeson and Forrester are top notch, let's wait till January then review

I think he would be excellent choice, players would respond well to him I think.

[CraigHill]

McInnes with a slice of whatever McKenna goes for in January is scary.

[RAZOR]

Gleeson and Forrester are top notch, let's wait till January then review

Oh mate

[Jocky Balboa]

Now th Cormack is firmly back in the picture, I wonder what he makes of McInnes' continuing viability, and whether he would invest more if/when a new manager comes in?

[maryhilldon]

 

I wouldn't trust Mcinnes with the Mckenna money, it would make more sense to use it to pay the bulk of the training facility costs.

[Mr John]

Brentford need a new manager. Success there got Warburton the hun job. Could be a goer...

 

 

Scotland need a manager.

 

 

Our IT department at work need a new manager too.  Absolute shambles.

 

 

MT has really went downhill.

 

Has he gone past you yet?

[redone]

Lol

Nae quite sure what you were laughing out loud for.  Dinna bother explaining , though , cos it'll be a load o' pish

 

I'm nae looking for McInnes to get the dunt.

[NEM]

MT has really went downhill.

He must

[shooftahmooftah]

If Mcinnes got the McKenna money he would bye up the accident and emergency unit at the ARI and sign up all the patients.

[Reed or deed]

Jesus

That was almost funny, I'm proud of you.

[BWG]

Absolutely cannot wait for the usual shitebags to defend that.

[Frank Grimes]

It’s a shame as he’s mostly been a force for good around the club

 

I don’t have as short a memory as some

 

But it’s gone stale badly and we need a new injection of ideas and enthusiasm

 

But he will grind it out until at least the end of the season and I can see a fair few painful days between now and then

 

Starting next week

[caledonia]

sack the fucker and get lennon in

At least he will have a go

[caledonia]

really dreading the semi now wish i was on a boycott

[Proud Dandy]

From where we have come from, he has been a fantastic manager for the club and brought us a lot of relative success, Celtic’s dominance aside. But feels like we need to freshen things up and have some new ideas, would be refreshing to give youth a chance and play attacking football (without putting Cosgrove on the pitch).

 

Hope he can sign off with a trophy and leave at the end of the season, as he is never going to be sacked.

Pish he has won one cup the mickey mouse league cup

Even Tommy Wright won the scottish cup

[1903Fitba]

He’s done well for us. However he’s now undoing all his work by signing pish and playing pish.

 

 

Gets done by any manager with a bit of a brain.
