Aberdeen sack Derek McInnes

[Betty Swallicks]

Aye sure Betty son - all fine n well saying that now - but at the time, we were all cockahoop.

 

Ken, imagine having hope that our manager had not bought an absolute dud.

[shooftahmooftah]

We're working under such a lowly budget, by todays overinflated, TV driven, standards, that we're going to struggle to pick up players of a certain quality all the time. Some of the players he's brought in looked good on paper, and at other clubs. It's only when they arrive that they end up being rubbish, that's not all on the manager.

 

As previously said by others, every manager at this level will have the same issue. The difference is that we notice it because we're supporters of the club and watch Aberdeen every week. i'm pretty sure other fans of other clubs have similar gripes.

 

We're struggling to compete with the money down in England, which means that players on 3-4k and in our budget range are of a much lower quality than 10-15 years ago. We're now in the market of injury prone, brought back from the brink of death, lacking in game time players. There's not a lot we can do about that.

 

"Oh but other teams around us have managed to pick up good players on less", and yet we've managed to be best of the rest for 4 seasons now, so that argument falls on it's arse.

It's not the low budget it's the lack of desire and the will to win by some of the players on Aberdeens books. Just look at Ross county's budget they're heading up and they show an attitude that is lacking in the present Aberdeen team. Norwich city another example last night down 2-1 they didn't give up and scored in the 97th minute this Aberdeen team would have given up at half time, no will or desire to win. New players and a new manager like Clarke is what's needed who knows where to look for the type of players that's needed in this Aberdeen FC. Mcinnes has run out of patter and idears

. It's not the low budget it's the lack of desire and the will to win by the present team. Look at Ross county they are on the way up. Norwich city last night 2-1 down. But had the desire and will to keep going and scored in the 97 th minute. A new manager with new idears is what's needed and one who knows what he's looking for. And isn't a Milne brown nose.

Which players have a lack of desire?

 

Shite examples as well, county are winning the league and Norwich up there for automatic promotion. We are “competing” in a closed shop where the same team dominates everything every year and now their pals are back it’s even less of a competition for us. You wonder why players struggle to get motivated?

[Jocky Balboa]

Without wanting to pick an argument, I disagree with the opinions that players who did well elsewhere and flopped with Aberdeen is NOT McInnes's fault. I'd say he's at least partly responsible, as it is his responsibility to get the best out of players. Playing them in their correct position... integrating them into a functioning team with clear formation... making correct substitutions (and at appropriate times)... all of these, among others, are squarely at his feet.

Disagree. I don’t see lack of desire as the problem.

[Sheepo]

The problem is the Poor and negative tactics even the players look fed up with lumping it up to Cosgrove, we don't even get the ball wide anymore, can't remember the last time Cosgrove got a decent cross to attack.The poor football this season especially at home will see a reduction in season ticket sales no doubt and forget DNA getting anywhere near 6000 again.The fans need to be entertained or they will simply stop coming and Mr. Mcinnes needs to realise this

We won

 

Bed wetters!

Not a McInnes fan all the time

 

What a result today for him though

 

Fair play

the club sent thru the auto renewal for the DNA and I couldn't be bothered (to not auto renew)

If Cosgrove had been there he would have received a perfect cross in from Lowe.

Inch perfect over the penalty spot. No cunt there for it though.

Same trick they get you with on the RedTv subscription.

Rely on our laziness to cancel the automatic renewal

Shoofta, you drunk? You’re making sense.....

[StandFree1982]

Not surprising that after a win, the likes of Betty Swallicks are nowhere to be seen. They only surface and post when there's something negative to be said.

[BWG]

Lol You're the king of bedwetters.

Whooooooosh

[Proud Dandy]

Motivation definitely isnt the problem which is the only thing holding me back from wanting mcinnes out

 

They are clearly playing for him

 

The transfer window fucked him up

 

We need to spend and spend big (for us) on 2 wingers top wingers and a 10

 

In the cold light of day it's no surprise we look toothless right now with the personnel we have

Probably the most sense I’ve seen you post. We’ve never replaced McLean or Christie and then on top of that we’ve been without wingers for large parts of the season. Obviously the manager failed in the summer and responsibility must be with him

[DelMonte]

More failure to trust youth yesterday I see.

[Proud Dandy]

I feel so good knowing I have your validation

 

It really sets me up for the day ahead

Back to posting shite like this 99% of the time then

Del declares interest in Scotland gig... According to the sun.

 

He doesn't though.  Says he'd be interested in it at some point but not just now.

 

Probably Panda taking a bung to link to that clickbait pish.

Good move for us and him.

Might even be good for Scotland.

[Parklife]

As I've said before, it's his best ticket to the EPL land he so desperately dreams of.

 

The Scotland gig is ripe for a competent manager to come in and organise the team and get them playing with a coherent game plan. They're better players than they're showing and any manager worth their salt will believe he can get more from them.

 

We have a decent set of players and are just 2 games from the Euros. A Championship in which we'll have 2 (or 3) home group games and can progress from the group stage by finishing 3rd of 4 teams.

[aberdeen1970]

Seems like he is keeping the door open for a future crack at the job

 

He'll flash his knickers to any club or country our Del

Disagree. 

 

If that was the case, he wouldn't have turned down Sunderland and Rangers, two jobs where he'd be earning far more than he is at Pittodrie. 

[Dandyesque]

Disagree.

Maybe he was concerned about actually being paid, rather than the amount he was supposed to be paid...

Like just about every other player or manager in the world?
