Aberdeen sack Derek McInnes

[Yorston Vasey]

We will get a replacement manager with Yank connections, possibly a Scottish bloke managing in the US like Martin Rennie (Indy Eleven) or Neil Collins (Tampa Bay Rowdies). Cormack will take recommendations from his Stateside chums but won't  be taking anyone from Atlanta United because we're the junior partner in that arrangement. Unless Stephen Glass turns out to be utterly shit at management in the next nine months or so.

[Andy_123]

Neil Lennon our next manager ? ffs.

I think we’d be pleasantly surprised at some of the names who’d want to manage us when McInnes leaves. We aren’t the total shit show we were when we appointed him.

[fine-n-dandy]

19 years of pretty shite managers then one cup.

we keep Mcinnes for another dozen years & I reckon the stats will be pretty the same but the cup is already in that

im dreaming of a Jess & Booth return

[Ten Caat]

Booth could be a shout but doubt Jess with his fairly recent health problems would be up for the stress of it all.

Still liking RS suggestion of Duncan Ferguson though. Given what we are paying Mcinnes...he won't be out of our league financially and he wouldn't bow down to the arse cheeks in any way

Brain haemorrhage a few years back. Had to have it clipped IIRC

Edit...and a hole in the heart which was found because of the brain problem. 

Now living in Barcelona.

This is maybe a bit leftfield but I’d like a young coach starting out, with no baggage, no Glasgow inferiority complex etc.

How about someone like Darren Fletcher?

Wouldn't be averse to that. But has to be someone with a "name". Needs to be able to go the board and demand funds for whatever he needs (not merely request)

Agree.

i think Fletcher would do that & he seems to be reasonably clued up on Scottish football from what I see & hear when he’s a pundit.

Currently doing his coaching badges if they’re worth anything

Is football not littered with examples of previous club legends taking over as club manager(s) and it not ending well?

While Jess and Booth were outstanding for Aberdeen, I am not seeing anything that would point to them potentially being considered serious candidates for any future Aberdeen vacancy.

Perhaps if they had proved themselves in the lower tiers but no way would Cormack give them the job based on previous glories.

Thats not true though is it?

We had a great record against "rangers" just a few seasons back

 

I get what you are saying MM, but given the mediocre level of that hun team, it's safe to say we could have beaten them either way by being positive or negative.

A positive outlook would (could) have given more emphatic victories.

They were no great shakes.  Whatsoever.

When he would use the negative tactics against a stronger opponent, such as the Tims, we would invariably be defeated without raising a whimper in response.

He never recovered from being used as part of the boofon's infamous derek riordan wind up. Health issues flared up just after that...

Ah right, ok

So when presented with something directly annihilating your point, you move the goalposts 

Gotcha

?

Nae really.

You appear to misunderstand said point that you softly prodded / poked.

[Fridge]

Think Jess is back to full health now and would have the fans behind him.

Whether or not he has fucking any skill of managing players and tactics would remain to be seen.

Booth is managing women so would thrive with the fannies we have onboard right now

That's a cheap shot.  We've been decent for a while (1st half hour against 'Well apart).  I wouldn't describe many of them as fannies,  they try but you get what you can afford.

Love Bing Crosby

[strachanmcgheegoal]

That’s the age old arguement though - that discernible “leadership” quality.  Best examples at Aberdeen, Miller, Aitken and Hegarty.  Unquestionably leaders on the park (as an aside I’d have given an arm to watch Miller being reffed by thon plum the other night.  10 minutes in Willie would have had him telt!).  But off the park, just not able to get the same reaction.  I always had a theory that the great players didn’t understand why young players needed things explained to them.  Often more than once.

@muttonhumper good man. That’s the one. Even better than I remembered.

Was a good debut - he seemed to find half the pitch all to himself when he set up the third.

Fucking Snowflakes nowadays

[maryhilldon]

^  That was a wild 2 footer!   Not sure how it makes players snowflakes nowadays though?  He got sent off and then there was a bit of handbags,  nothings changed. 

[Tord31]

Here he is again. Mr McInnes.

Building up enough goodwill to cover a few defeats.

He's been a good manager for AFC.

Nose bleed territory if we actually win one of these Celtic matches.

[Mr John]

We've been poor for a while, he's changed tactics, done better with transfers in, got the best of players we thought might go and been quicker to axe dross.

Stay of execution, innit?

Somewhat.

But how much would it buy him if everything goes south quickly?

Theres little escaping the poor form of the team over the last 2 years or so.

To really overcome that he'd need to finish 2nd or win another trophy.
