Aberdeen sack Derek McInnes

[WesthillWanderersFC]

[Dons79]

Also Cormack knows a bit about football - he won't be short of alternative manager options and having the cash to pay for them. Ultimately his first managerial appointment will be a significant moment whatever the reasons for it happening. I think he's definitely more likely to hold McInnes to account if we don't progress in Europe, should we qualify. Exciting times.

Should Aberdeen expect to qualify for Europe with the squad we have?

he,ll need to up the wage structure and get in superior players to have half a chance of competing in Europe first,!

 

Or does he expect to qualify with 3rd rate English journeymen,free transfers and 100-200 grand signings?

There are teams from Ireland in recent times and with lesser budgets who have made it to the group stages. So it shouldn't be impossible on our budget.

Remember the bloke who failed at Dunfermline, Stephen Kenny?

He took Dundalk to within one game of the group stages of the Champions League, and they got into the group stages of the Europa League.

 

Our record in the qualifying stages is poor.

Never threatened the group stages under McInnes.

Rijeka this year was abject.

People have short term memories.

Mcinnes has brought respectability to the club when he came.

Decpent league position most years in the league, in Eurpoe regularly.

The extra hurdles that UeFA cup get smaller clubs to come through is not entirely fair, three matches then a play off, when other teams get a seeding boast due to their home leagues, who are usually a wash with money and coefficient is high cause of this.

Its unknown where we would be without Mcinnes, the previous managers didn't set the heather a light.

As for Stewart Milne did his best and a true support of the club, held the club together during poorer times, brought in investment to the club,which will in future years bring an up to date stadium, training facilities and extra kudos to the club, bringing more quality players to the club, and producing more home based quality players to the squad

 

Future is bright from my rose tainted glasses.

A bit more faith and filling if of the stadium seats will help

What Irish team made it through into the groups?. I recall 1 making it to the playoff but got pumped! Genuine question though, what one!

22 years of Milne & you attempt to make it sound like he’s been anything close to a good thing lol

Dundalk

2016 wasn’t it any since?

Have there been many before other than Dundalk?

[aberdeen1970]

Donald and his wife bailed us out.

 

Which made the club more attractive to Cormack and his mates.

[Ke1t]

Champions League is a fantasy unless we start competing domestically. THAT is the first target we need to set ourselves. 

 

No more of the rolling over to the cheeks, but actual competing against them over both 90 minutes and the course of a season. 

 

Europa League is a far more attainable goal in the very short term. We'd be up against teams more or less on a level we can compete with, though there are still a lot of quality sides in those groups who'd skelp us at a canter. 

 

If Cormack does have plans for the club to increase in stature then competing domestically and re-establishing ourselves as a team that goes beyond 'knocked oot o Europe at the first significant hurdle' is a realistic and attainable goal. 

 

Underperformance has been the hallmark of the Milne years, and it doesn't have to be like that.

Hi Stewart

 

Please don’t hang around like a bad smell. Pack your shit and GTF

[ericblack4boss]

Did he play for those cunts?

 

Celebrate the winning of titles whilst playing for those cunts?

 

Does he talk with a weegie accent?

 

Is he a sleekit cunt who has the Glasgow press up his arse?

 

If the answer is yes then he's a hun cunt

 

Once a hun, always a hun

[ericblack4boss]

So, Sir Alex a hun cunt too?

 

(I'm boring myself countering with that, but still relevant)

YES.

Dundalk

And pretty much everyone agreed that was a miracle/lucky. Every couple of seasons there's a similar story where some unfancied team gets close to the group stage. Out of the 100 or so teams that take part in the qualifiers, that's going to happen. But saying that we should be like Dundalk is saying we should win the lottery.

[fine-n-dandy]

Remind me

Bearing in mind he turned "rangers " down...

What part of "hun" dmc works?

We know it's not on the humour front, so genuinely, what do you think it means?

He only turned them down in that he refused their request that he quit Aberdeen prior to him being ‘officially’ offered the job to prevent them having to scare some coppers together to pay us compensation.

He would have jumped at chance to got straight to them otherwise. He just didn’t trust that he wouldn’t end up getting shafted by them if he quit Aberdeen & then they fkd him over somehow & he didn’t get the hun job.

 

Don’t try & paint this pretty picture that he wasn’t thinking about anyone other than himself. He couldn’t have given two shites about Aberdeen. Otherwise he wouldn’t have even entertained the opportunity to go there at all, let alone sleekitly hide away in the shadows for the whole saga until the Huns came out & tried to make him look bad so their fans would side with them & turn on McInnes.

 

He would have said he’s not interested at the very get go

[ericblack4boss]

Hun DMCs only concerned for his own career. All his I love afc shite. He loves the fact he had milne fawning over him. And even has him as hun sympathiser.

The deal to go to huns was supposed to be a quick affair sorted out quickly but they dragged thier feet and that wasn't part of the plan.

I'm sure the sleekit weegie cunt wishes he had taken it.

Now that his three main backers are taking a back seat he will be looking more favourably at departing

I’m not disagreeing.

But our record at attempting to get there is pretty poor.

We’ve never threatened to or come close.

I know we are up against it, but QR3 seems to be our ceiling.

I suppose it beats playing Inverness, Dumbarton & Edinburgh City in the League Cup groups

Had a few cracking piss ups around Europe though. Every cloud.

If all you aspire to is "respectability" no wonder you seem overjoyed.

 

It's great that we're not Bottom 6 fodder anymore. We're where we should be, given the status quo of Scottish football is now back to normal. And now we should expect more than "respectability"... 21 years of Milne at the helm has conditioned some fans that "respectability" is all we deserve or should expect. It's not. I don't expect to win the league (yet) but I do expect better than getting scudded by 4 or 5 from you know who and I expect to do better in Europe which is the only way to improve financially in this modern era of football.

You managed to leap in to Mcinnes head for that reply, I love how you know the motivations and decision making process of someone you've never met!

 

The first sentence is shite in itself. "He only turned them down" .. because he turned them down. He turned the job down. I'll repeat that for you again .. he turned the Sevco job down. You can claim all sorts of shite as to the reasons why but you are guessing.

 

Plus you are missing the main point. He TURNED THEM DOWN! Understand?

 

Ps what's Mcinnes thinking right now? I bet you know.

Still bitter arent you. DYA as promised.

 

Lashing out because your in the know shite was proved to be bollocks!

 

Eric Black should get the job right? By the way Black is from Lanarkshire. Is that not too weegie ish for you?

Blacks time has come and gone to manage the club unfortunately.

He's the best manager since Ferguson we never had!

Plus ... 25 per cent win ratio at Motherwell and no management job since 2004. A strange strange comment. He never showed he was a good manager.

Cunts one of the first to slag fans from anywhere that doesn’t bide in Aberdeen or is from there but calls himself after a guy raised in Lanarkshire!, special special type of cretin that lol

 

Imagine slagging off the manager that led us to our most successful period ever!,taking a small parochial club to beating legendary players and clubs with local/Scottish lads,

Arguably the best manager that has ever been, but nah fuck him he’s a weegie
