Ten Caat Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Could well be a vacancy at Ipswich in the next few days/hours I'm sure he will be interested in that if it happens but will they be interested in him? Link to comment

Longer he stays out of work, the longer the odds of him returning. I hope he gets it Link to comment

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... Link to comment

Yorston Vasey Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 11 minutes ago, Millertime said: 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. 1 Link to comment
Zeus Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 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. 11 Link to comment

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. 1 Link to comment

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. Link to comment

Donscanada Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 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. Link to comment

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. Link to comment
