Not quite true, at least officially.

Dempster announced she was leaving Hibs in late 2020 and officially left in the first week of Jan 2021. Although rumours of her exit had been circulating for at least a year before making it official. She didn't get on with Ron Gordon and wasn't particularly careful about who she let know about their poor relationship

She then joined QP a week after leaving Hibs. Of course she would have been in negotiations to take this job for months previous but I don't think Hibs would have tolerated the affront to their reputation if they had let her join straight from them so she had to be seen to leave Hibs first.

Sounds like she handed in her notice after accepting the job at Queens Park?

Did they not get a director of football or something from a Premier league team in Holland or Belgium or somewhere like that?

Doubt he is on peanuts 

Marijn Breuker or something from AZ Alkmaar. He'd been there for years as a sport development director. Agree he won't be on peanuts

[fine-n-dandy]

I made up the QP Mcinnes link. Just trying to help him out. Keep him current

Guy hounded Martinez after doing well at Champ Man while he was ay Wigan. Hardly think he is costing much

I don’t think he will get it. McInnes is one of those managers that clubs look at as names are thrown at them then say…no thanks, he doesn’t play the style we want to adopt.

Some Killie fans suggesting on Twitter it's happening 

[1983]

Kilmarnock want promoted at any cost. They 100% would take him. The problem for DM is if he fails then they’re bust, as is he.

[aberdeen1970]

Is he even looking for work just now? 

I'm assuming the money we gave him plus his pundit money must be keeping him happy. He's never off the TV. 

[RED_JOHN]

McInnes is done. The reality is no one really wants him. It says it all about the Aberdeen job being a poisoned chalice since Ferguson left. I find it absolutely amazing at how many have given up. They need to learn to keep the burning desire to succeed alight or they will simmer out. McInnes definitely gave up and nearly everyone in the country seen that happening. Any manager who says to their chairman…if you get fed up with me then just tell me (along those lines) deserves no future in football.

Aye he’s basically got a season ticket for his beloved huns for fuck all

[torry_battery_ram]

McInnes has accepted the Kilmarnock manager position apparently

Remember when his son said there was bigger things to come on Twitter after Del was punted. Chortle.

They will have a bigger stadium than us in future 

[Don_Corleone]

Kilmarnock to sign Sam Cosgrove on loan then. 

[aberdeen1970]

McGinn and Hayes will get a couple of years out of Kilmarnock then

If I was him I would prefer the QP job over Killie

Aye. Would he have the patience for a couple of promotions though?  Might take a few seasons.

Probably not but with each promotion it would give him the chance to lift his skirt for other clubs a couple of time before being found out for the average manager he is in top flight

I think the job would be attractive to Del because Killie would give him so much control to run things. He will have realized that the big clubs are moving towards a head coach model and perhaps moving to Killie gives him one last opportunity to build something.

[Ten Caat]

Short term he'll get paid more at Killie although not by a massive amount. Despite their current position, I still think they're favourites to go up, much as I'd love to see Arbroath get promoted I think that their part-time status will take it's toll as the season enters it's later stages. I do think that Killie would just about accept not going up this season though provided they make the play-offs and don't get embarrassed in them.

The problem McInnes would face is keeping a promoted Killie up. Under normal circumstances they're the 6th best funded club in Scotland but who knows what toll the covid situation plus relegation has taken on them. What is certain is that if McInnes got them relegated again, it's curtains for his career.

Dave will be on the blower congratulating him and given him first refusal on Kennedy, McGinn, McGeouch and McLennan.

Fingers crossed…

[Tyzo_1903]

Would expect him to go straight for older ex players advancing in years on loans/frees.

Could see players like Cosgrove, McGinn, Hayes, Logan, Shinnie or Taylor to be playing in a Killie shirt in the next 2 year I bet. Especially if they do go up.

Lafferty just released as well, he'd be a stick on if McInnes took the gig.

[fine-n-dandy]

Greg Stewart will be a safe bet for him.

Hope he does take a load of our shite. Especially Kennedy but even he must know he was a complete fk up. Hopefully he gets Ojo 

[ericblack4boss]

I wonder if the Taylor's will come to Ayrshire, a bit too close to home for Hun DMC to shit on his own doorstep
