Aberdeen sack Derek McInnes

[RUL]

Yeah, confirms mcinnes knows it. Seems his comments were at Cormack not the fans.

Richard Gordon in today's p and j has said, lose today and he's a goner. 

 

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

Yeah and why we've ended up signing only players on loan.

Said this in another thread. No pre contracts agreed (as yet) implied he was on shaky ground

Cheers. 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.

Yeah, the break up is inevitable now. Especially as mcinnes will know Cormack has briefed the media 

[Guest milne_afc]

Really poor and cheap from Cormack. Just sack him and pay up. 

[Ten Caat]

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

The only time it has ever gotten to this point and worked, was possibly Ferguson at Manchester United.  But I can't think of any other time where a manager has come back from the "game to save your job" situation.

Agree 100%.  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.

Have to say, irrespective of current form, previous form, or my personal opinion of McInnes, I’m amazed that we look to be pulling the trigger mid season UNLESS Cormack has someone lined up to come in now.

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.

[ericblack4boss]

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 

[ericblack4boss]

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

Aye lets just hope Stephen Glass hasn't just booked himself an open business class single ATL-ABZ

Fair enough, but it doesn't mean that the club should be leaking shit to the press. 

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.

Should finishing 4th the last two seasons be considered adequate and average for us?

Not for me.

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.

[sooth_stander]

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?

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

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.

I imagine we are waiting to see how the pandemic measures look going forward, the player budget will be hugely affected if no crowds for next season

No nor for me either, 

But it seems to be for him and the club, 

I've been saying his time was up after the 2017 Cup final

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

It won't surprise you that I agree. 

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.
