Aberdeen sack Derek McInnes


Recommended Posts


The worse he does the less likely he is to get a job down south. Thats the worst thing.

His credibility has been decreasing the more the competition has been strengthening in the league.

More & more people are seeing that he is not really all that great & that he has just been playing at a simple level & being the second most dominant team at that level.

Its pointless us all blabbering on about it,Milne will never sack the Hun Fecker anyhow.

 

Disagree, if the fans turn on him and we drift down the table, the board will act. It depends how far down the table we drift.

 

 

He doesn't warrant the sack yet.

Agreed but it’s worrying how everyone can see the issues except the man who can change things. The nature of the losses against the twin sisters is even more worrying, even under every other manager we often put up a fight against them, ok maybe not McGhee but you get the point.

 

This is definitely DMs biggest challenge yet, he has to finish the rest of the season well. A good performance in the cup final, a 2nd place finish and wins agains hibs, hearts and rangers will be enough to buy him the start of next season for me but I don’t hold out much hope.

This season has been pretty stinking other than a couple of screamers and a good win against Hibs at home when we battered them. We knew it would be tough with players moving on last year etc. I do think that McInnes has been found out a bit now with more teams in the mix and managers willing to suss and graft out results. We don't have that and it shows too much now. Dundee, Killie and Motherwell have all came up here and done a number on us earlier on in the season - if dundee and killie had decent strikers then, it couldve been worse.

 

We all knew McInnes was limited in managerial skills, it has been painfully obvious to all now and with teams getting stuck in we are showing our weaknesses - mainly midfield and left back which have been an ongoing issue for years. We can beat the dross but any kind of team with talent or hard work have coped with us most of the time and exploited those weak spots. The frustrating thing being we can watch it happening during games but it doesnt change. Any subs that do come on tend to be a winger or Maynard for his 3 minute run out.

 

Whats the answer? God knows, he won't get sacked while in the top end of the table and I feel that top 4 will be accepted by the club, the usual 'more resources elsewhere' line will be used.

 

If anyone does offer cash to take him, we should accept it and have a go elsewhere. When the Huns thing was on the go. I was looking forward to seeing who would throw their name in the hat for a debt free club in the top end of the table with a potential new stadium being built.

 

I still think Derek Adams will be our next manager tho.

Ach im pretty disappointed with this season, but is the man not allowed one transitional season after having half his team ripped out?

His direct competition for second place are all a lot more transitional than he has had to suffer.

Making the excuse of losing a couple main players is just denial & only highlights his inability to actually compete when the going gets a little tough.

If McInnes has designs on the Scottish Cup he better pray we don't meet one of the cheeks at any point in the competition.

 

If that happens then AFC should be given the opportunity to just surrender the tie ahead of time to save everybody the expense of tickets and travel.

 

They can call it 'The McInnes Option'.

Needs to have a fucking go.

None of this sitting back giving them respect pish.

Gets horsed into them high up the park and get in about their back four.

Tactics need to be right for this one Derek.

Fuck the Minks

He didn't take your points on board dom.

Aye, cunt should have fucking listened.

 

Heard the pish he came away with in his post match interview and just about crashed the car laughing.

 

"Tactics spot on"

 

Utter bollocks.

A big part of our problems this year has been the severely underwhelming impact from the buys/loans made by McInnes this season

 

Arnason - disappointing contribution from what has been a first pick defender in an Iceland team known for their mean defense plus he's not played enough given he must be one of our top earners

 

Tansey - already punted out on loan never to return

 

GMS - doesn't contribute enough - too mentally fragile?

 

Stewart - overweight at start and done not much since

 

Ball - why bother?

 

Chidi - might be a player in there somewhere - we'll see

 

Christie - the one success but doesn't half hurt us when we can't play him against Celtic

 

May - still can't decide if he is finished or not - certainly not a good return from spending £400K.

 

Maynard - don't make me laugh

 

Cosgrove - really don't make me laugh - now I know why he couldn't get a game for fucking Carlisle

 

Given the way football is changing with shorter contracts, more loans, players moving on more a huge part of our future success will depend on McInnes ability to bring in better quality players than he has this season. As a minimum we will need to replace McLean/Christie/Stewart/Chidi/Rogers/Tansey/Ball, probably Arnason and please fucking god AOC. That's before you get to the (five year and counting) need for a left back.

 

Is it McInnes, is it our scouting system - who knows but it's not been good enough this year by a long way hence you get the crap today, when combined with crap tactics of course
