lets drop the is mcinnes shite chat.

he clearly was a great manager for us.

he'll go down as best since smith/scott

he clearly needs to go this week and no fucks need to be given whether he was or wasnt a good manager for us

In your opinion he was great

in mine he was nothing more than average to begin with but has since been shown to struggle to even meet that level when going gets a wee bit more like normality 

You can look at league placings & ignore the competition/circumstances to make it seem better than it was but I don’t 

[fine-n-dandy]

My verdict on Mcinnes & his achievements as individual manager is closer to realism than that of the clappers.

 

i appreciate his off field improvements more than on if truth be told cos on field have been nothing special

Great is maybe generous in the grand scheme when we are many years down the line.

Perhaps very good or good will be better but that'll be about folk after him aswell as before him. 

I dont really care.

I do fucking care about him fucking up this season

That’s the problem right there.

judging him by previous shite will obviously make him look better than he actually was.

i judge as I see it. That is the fairest way to judge him. By what he has done & against who

Realism would be accepting mcinnes has overall done a good job but last 2/3 years we have been in freefall and decline. If you are saying he has done average it doesn't sound "real" as it is unlikely the next manager will do any better than mcinnes has.

Something has gone wrong. We are now relegation material.

 

I think it's time we acknowledged there's a problem and took a dealing to it.

 

Sack him and appoint Jim McIntyre.

 

Jim McIntyre still available to come in to seal 3rd place. ?

[StandFree1982]

McInnes has done a lot of good work at Aberdeen on and off the pitch. Anyone denying that either doesn't have a clue or is in denial.

With that being said, he's been here 8 years and things have gone stale at the club. He's tried to rebuild 3 times now and struggling to get that spark back. He should be looked back on fondly, but it's time for him to go.

Who saves their mates' full names on their phone? Suspect they've tried too hard with this one.

[super_al]

If true I think we are in for a massive disappointment. Who is available that would improve things?

I do when it’s ones with same first name.

Some were posting earlier it's someone you wouldn't have thought would have been interested in us...ie a big name

If true then it's great news as they'd surely be demanding a commensurate budget

Fingers crossed but not getting my hopes up. Stephen Robinson or his ilk would be pretty uninspiring though

I’d rather keep McInnes than see one of the many names that have been suggested.

He just needs a new coach beside him to keep him right.

If he gets binned his replacement needs to be someone with a decent cv.

[Andy_123]

We have nice training facilities, a chance to form an early identity with the team with 6/7 possibly more signings needing made in summer and, most importantly, are apparently willing to pay a decent wage.

I think we would be surprised at some managers who’d be interested in the job. Whether Cormack already has tunnel vision for someone in particular is another question.

Thats your opinion and you are entitled to it.

But the selection of Largs coaches we had like ... Craig Brown / Mark Mcghee / Alex Miller didnt get near it.

Time to go possibly as ive said. The next guy better be good 

They weren’t dealt the easy hand McInnes was, they were all shite really but I wouldn’t say McInnes is any better a manager than Brown was. That is for sure. So very average. McInnes arguably achieved his biggest success with pretty much Browns team/foundation

You may think it doesn’t sound real but maybe that is because you are painting a fantasy in your mind regarding McInnesclass in his early years ?

 

only a couple of occasions I would say he achieved ‘above expectations’ or surprise results. Rejeka & Groningen but other than that a complete meh in Europe.

Even St Johnstone achieved as big results in their short spells in Europe but nobody is praising Wright close to the levels McInnes has been getting. Very little if anything between them IMO in managerial skills levels.

McInnes is no more than average as are many

Why would we? If decision was made we have enough in house for interim for now

Any truth in the rumour that Kennedy tried to forward on the text to his team-mates but couldn’t get it past the first man?
