Aberdeen sack Derek McInnes

[DD1903]

so from that I'd guess

 

are we gonna sign someone on Wednesday or maybe the strip will be released?

 

Ferguson and Devlin not in running for captain?

 

Ethan Ross comment is interesting. maybe not jump ahead of McLennan. but sounds like ahead of wright or F ross

 

Joe Lewis probably got a release clause by sounds of it

Ferguson is only 19 and still learning. Someone like joe Lewis should get the captain role

[Guest]

Joe Lewis off next summer.

[StandFree1982]

Better to have an outfield player as captain where they have more influence.

Better to have a team full of captain types and one who wears an armband and can organise the nights outs and fines.

[boboisared]

Joe Lewis off next summer.

Wouldn't make much sense.

[Sonoftherock]

Surely sounds like to get him to sign on now rather than dragging it out for 6-12 months there has had to be a release clause of some sorts

Interesting that he’d ask for one of these to be inserted... that being the case, he maybe still feels he’s got one big move left in him.

 

Norwich are apparently looking for another goalkeeper! The papers were saying recently they were looking at bringing Angus Gunn back!

if a release clause for Lewis is 7 figures and it avoided starting next season with him having contract uncertainty hanging over him then I am ok with it.

 

if a release clause is less than that we should have grown a pair and flogged him this summer

[Guest]

Wouldn't make much sense.

How so?

 

It appears he has a release clause, this would've been the last year of his deal. I personally think he'll give it another year with us and if a team in the south of England comes in, he's gone.

[BWG]

Reckon Lewis will end his career with us... probably after some dirty hun cunt stabs him next season, only for a penalty to be given in their favour.

[BWG]

Well GMS being back for Hibs might be good, since Hibs are the only team he ever fucking bothers his arse against.  He really will not be a loss.

 

Virgins -1'ing that.  Awa and fuck.

[alscotoz]

So Shinnie definitely off? Destination?

[Yorston Vasey]

So Shinnie definitely off? Destination?

Rangers, apparently.

 

Hun.

[Ten Caat]

Assuming therefore as it stands McKenna is staying put. Terrific.

 

He's hardly done much this season to warrant clubs queueing up to sign him.....certainly won't have the £6.5million Stoke bid bettered. I have a feeling the Dhims might be back offering maybe £4million plus Jack Hendry.....

[boboisared]

so you think they've given him an extra (likely upped his bonuses and wage) to give him an out at the end of the season. The season he would have been out of contract after the conclusion of?

 

Far more likely it's a transfer release clause.

Not a chance that Lewis would sign a five year deal with us without a release clause. We turn to shit next season and finish 10th, he's not sticking around for more years of that.

Somewhere over the rainbow 

[Studebaker-90]

You’re trying too hard.

That's literally what I'm saying

[boboisared]

Which had been posted about ten times before you decided to post it then.

[TheRock]

Not sure specifically what the Ethan Ross comment was but wouldn't too much stock in it. He's said previous a few times how Scott Wright will play a bigger role next season, the rest of the season and so on. He isn't picking teams for September and October now.

 

He does look a prospect though, hope it gets a decent chance.

[NEM]

Joe Lewis is going nowhere.  Here until he retires 

[Betty Swallicks]

Other tit bits from last night:

 

There will be loans again - there is a budget to stick to and some loans allow that to go a bit further

 

Club will be making a huge PR exercise across news, social media etc on Wednesday

 

Shinnie and GMS fit for Hibs

 

GMS likely to go to MLS

 

Ethan Ross to be a first team starter next season

 

Captain could be Logan, Lewis, McKenna or a couple of the new players also

 

7-8 players to be signed this summer

 

2-3 players to be signed in the next two weeks

 

Lots of other teams were interested in Joe Lewis so the deal has had to be structured in a way that was acceptable to all parties

 

So our starting 11 will be of a standard comparable to that of a 17 year old who has played 5 games in a season when we regressed?

 

Yas!

[Dom Sullivan]

Virgins -1'ing that.  Awa and fuck.

Correct.

 

+1

 

GMS has been a waste of a wage.

 

Fuck him

[King Street Loon]

Heard that Lewis got the contract money Shinnie was offered.

Make's sense I suppose, as he is now our most important player and a nice wedge in Josephs pocket.

[Guest]

GMS was our best player in the first half of the season. Nearly got his head taken off in the LCF and has understandably struggled since.

[Dom Sullivan]

Matter of opinion.

 

Even in the first half of the season, he drifted in and out of games and often looked disinterested.

 

Occasional flashes of ability and wee tricks do not make him "our best player" in the first half of the season, imo

[Andy_123]

GMS was definitely our best player in the first half of this season. The only player who ever looked capable of making anything happen.

 

Been a waste of time since his head was panned in though. We should certainly be able to source a better/more consistent player than him for the same kind of money.

[aberdeen1970]

Not sure why Lewis would sign a five year deal with a year left on his existing one if he wanted to leave to go back to England? What would be the point of a 5 year deal if the object was just to insert a minimum release clause? Could have just done that with a one year extension or by renegotiating the existing deal

[G31DON]

Because if he breaks his lovely long neck tomorrow he gets 5 years wages, not 1.
