He'll join the long list of our former managers who will end their careers with Aberdeen as the biggest job they had.

I was just about to post the same thing. I remember back in the day, it was myself, Rocket Scientist and a handful of others who didn't buy into the Balsawood hype and stated, quite categorically, that he would never again manage a club with an average attendance of over 10000, nor see anything like the wages we afforded him. Of course, it took a few years for the rest to catch up to this reality, but it played out as expected. 

While McInnes may attract a club with a five-figure attendance, in cold reality he is only one standard deviation above Calderwood as a football manager and thus it is very unlikely he will manage a club our size again. I wish him well, of course...

Bring him back

Embarrassing experiment with glass

We spent the best part of £1m in binning McInnes, then a sizeable amount of investment in enhancing the squad, and we're in a much worse position as a club than we were when McInnes got the dunt.

McInnes had got the club to a point where it should and would have been a very attractive job for a variety of managers of a particular pedigree, instead our predetermined prawcess has set us back years.

Nicely done, Cormack.

Enough of this "mcinnes back" chat (pretty sure it canna be serious) 

However this season pans out it was 100% long overdue getting him binned. 

I don't think anyone is being serious. Absolutely the right time for him to move on. 

But we had a chance to bring a decent manager in and we put all our eggs in the rookie basket. There was money there as well as all our new signings won't have been cheap. Some of them will be on good dosh.

I certainly wasn't being serious. Just making a point of how shite things are. The Glass experiment is not working. Obviously hope he can turn it around, but have no confidence and have seen little or no evidence to suggest that he can.

While i admire mcinnes success in terms of winning and clean sheets.. could we really endure his eye bleeding 1-0 wins with a build up of long balls to cosgrove.  Glass is playing more entertaining football and is giving youngsters a chance to play reguarly.  

Let's not try and and big up Glass in order to justify binning McInnes. 

McInnes' time was up and he had to go. 

Glass's time is now up and he has to go.

Have to say I’ve not been entertained by Aberdeen games at all recently. We still seem to have all the possession and do absolutely nothing with it.

Fuck off you Hun loving narcissist.

Are you forgetting the 3-0 trouncing we received from Motherwell under McInnes?

Which one? I think there were at least 3

You have to wonder if he's still picking up a salary till the season end

If his contract was water-tight (and you would imagine it would be) then why the hell would he accept not being paid every last penny that was due under it? He was fired so the club were the ones that have broken that contract.

I think we have learned from it, hence the rolling 1 year contract that Glass has which mitigates our liabilities to him if/when the club ends up dunting him

I don't disagree, which is why I think he may still be picking up a wage and not in any rush to pick up another role i.e. the Dundee Utd one.

We'd only be released from paying up if he took on a more lucrative role, or pay the difference.

Even Glass's contract (if 1 year rolling) we should expect to have to pay up to a years salary from when he is let go, unless mutually agreed i.e. another club pays to secure him.
