Aberdeen sack Derek McInnes

[Simply Red]

I dont understand how McUseless cant get better players in the bargain basement. Lots of amazing bargains to be had for free, you just have to look in the right places.

Im glad he’s never really had a transfer budget, he’d only waste it on yir Mcleans/Fergusons/Cosgroves etc.

If he doesnt start finding millions from somewhere and buying players ive actually heard of im not going back.

[The Neep]

When we play  football on the ground we are actually quite good, but as soon as we revert to airball we just fall apart totally unable to maintain possession.

 

Would someone who has the ear of the manager whisper to him that the best way to defend a one goal lead is to make it a two goal lead.

[RUL]

Superior scouting setup that has identified a dreadful hearts player as one of their targets.

 

Who?

[Henry]

As a poster on here has already said it is a good job the rest of the Premiership clubs are shit or we would be in the bottom six for sure.

 

We seem to get quite lucky with that every season

Ah yes, just ignore the endless conveyor belt of dross he’s also bought in

[jamiesd]

A few seasons ago we could compete. Now we are miles off and lucking out results. Regressed big-time and budget spunked on garbage. The hearts scorer yesterday looked a handful and has in other games. He had a bit of excitement about him.

When was the last time a player attacking got us up off our seats? Probably Christie. And he wasn't ours which in itself was shocking. Still cant believe we took a Celtic player on loan.

That's just your opinion though.

 

I disagree with a heap of them, its hardly an exact science.

[Big Hat Logan]

I would have flood, Robson and GMS in the top category. We are absolutely crying out for players like that.

[RUL]

Where is Forrester now?

[Don Fonte]

Where is Forrester now?

Dead.

[Simply Red]

The fact he has no money to spend and has little control over his best players leaving doesnt excuse the shite we have to watch but folk need to be realistic about the calibre of player available to us.

[Guest]

3rd biggest budget in the league, should get to watch a decent enough style of play for this level, and we should definitely not be 4th just now. Nor should we have finished 4th last season. We've been utterly criminal this season, the league, outwith the top 2 is actually the worst it's been since "Armageddon."

 

Fuck knows. Cunt needs gone, he loses fans every week for us, horrid brand of football.

[jamiesd]

The budget is better than before. We have unearthed some gems in the past but this has stopped apart from our penalty expert. Why? Making mistakes pursuing as well. Had several turn us down and we have went back in for them.

They should be jumping on the chance to play for us. If they don't want to come....move on

[Poodler]

Aye going back in for Tansey and actually paying for him is as bad fingering your own newborn

[Jocky Balboa]

As a poster on here has already said it is a good job the rest of the Premiership clubs are shit or we would be in the bottom six for sure.

 

My reasoning is that would another manager coming in make any difference to our standing in this league.

 

With the players we have 3rd or 4th place and maybe a run in a cup competition is all we have to look forward to.

 

It may please a lot of fans getting rid of McInnes but will they be happy with another manager who gets the same results as we are achieving at the present time.

 

It is a money investment that is badly needed then a new manager to spend the money on a new squad.

 

We all now this will not happen or will it.

Yes, my main argument was that we are 4th almost by default and thus papering ever so slightly over huge cracks. What I would add to my previous post however, is that Kilmarnock last season and now Motherwell are besting us for third, by clearly punching above their weight. Have we even punched our weight over the last few years?

 

I swear to god, if I hear the "best since Fergie" horse shit one more time...

[WesthillWanderersFC]

Where is Forrester now?

Didn’t he go back to Dublin?

[The Boofon]

Common in Brazil that.

[tiktak]

McInnes appears to be in a similar position to the embers of Calderwood's time. Done an decent enough job but we've seen this movie so many times now we're bored with it. Surely he must even want a change of scenery for his own sake. 

[PondHopper]

Superior scouting setup that has identified a dreadful hearts player as one of their targets.

I can tell someone is understanding how it works in the states. If the new chairman truly is American he'll want the front office seperate from the head coach. A coach needs to win now and can make short sighted moves that a general manager would not.

 

To stay long term this manager would get a demotion of sorts potentially.

[StandFree1982]

Anyone slating McInnes first few seasons need their head checked. He turned the club around from the ground up and that shouldn't be forgotten. 

 

However we've clearly plateaued a season or two ago and are regressing so something needs to change.  When he goes, he should be applauded for the work he did in helping the club back to it's feet after years of dross, but he's beginning to overstay his welcome and we need to freshen the place up a bit.

[V for Vendetta]

With players that Brown acquired.

It really doesn't matter. I'm happy to cut him some slack and give him credit of the successful first period of his management. He did a good job.

 

This isn't about hating McInnes it's about what's happening at the club now and moving forward - no dons fan should want to see the club accept this mediocrity any longer.

[Betty Swallicks]

He did a good job initially to get us to an acceptable level after years of dross but lets not forget the conditions to rebuild were perfect with the huns, hearts, hibs, utd all in the shite and out the league.

 

His stock was at an unrealisticly high level when Sunderland and then the huns came calling and Milne shat it as McInnes was his "spokesman" and gave him silly raises and for some unknown reason another expension last summer when we were already going backward.

 

His ego is in control now and he refuses to change his approach which I think will lead to a parting of ways in the summer.

And Pat Nevin

[Simply Red]

I saw Pat Nevin dj’ing once. He was paraletic and dancing like no human ive ever seen. Gold.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

I’d also argue we haven’t seen the full consequence of the duopoly’s reincarnation yet. We’re still getting relatively big crowds to watch us draw with the bottom side, and lose to 11th and 9th.

If both the scum get champions league money from 2021 season onwards (Scotland will qualify for 2 slots) then the gap, which is widening, will only get bigger.

Depressing.

Sounds gr8 m8. Hopefully we will get first draft picks of the roster.

[maryhilldon]

Worth a look ?

Could one of them could play the Christie/Maddison role?

[pocrawred]

Word on the grapevine is the Aberdeen players dont all get on. There are 3 cliques in the dressing room and they do their training and dont really mix much after.... from someone who knows someone...
