Zeus Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Calm down Darack lovers. It was a win in the championship for the team with the biggest budget vs a team who are struggling. He'll get them promoted no doubt but his time was long gone up here. 5 Link to comment

He stayed about 3 years too long. Glass was not my choice but he’s here and unlike some of the McInnes lovers, I hope he succeeds. Aye 3 years earlier. He should have left with 2 months of the season to go when we finished 2nd, 9 points off Celtic. Folk don’t realise we would have caught Celtic if Glass was appointed then Link to comment
sheepcrooky Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 McInnes was a breath of fresh air when he came in. Winning a trophy early doors cemented the bond between the clubs him. Whether he made all the signings of Hayes, McGinn & Rooney, he certainly made that Irish trio click. We were scoring goals for fun at some point and the football was really entertaining. The Scottish Cup final defeat to Celtic in the last minute was soul destroying, with a bit of luck we could easily have won that. Unfortunately, it all began to go downhill then. Players leaving, players getting older, the new rangers being thrown money at. A perfect storm for us, which we couldn’t answer. Taking back McGinn, Hayes, Taylor and Arnason, the signing Curtis Main were the type of lazy signings in this period that regressed us as a team. McInnes the darling of so many for so long, came under attack from the fans and did not take it well. The whole body language changed. He became defensive, both on and off the pitch and refused to really admit he and the team was regressing. He even became to look like a greasy lookalike of Worzel Gummej (*sic). So he definitely overstayed his welcome, but blame that as much on Milne. I was happy he went due to most of the above, but wish him no ill. In his defence, he has not come out and had a dig at AFC since leaving (although I do understand how NDA’s work). 1 Link to comment
jamiesd Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 McInnes was Great? Lol I liked Derek, up until the Rangers carry on. Once he spoke to them the game was up for me. Things were never the same. I think even he knew that. McInnes and Sturgeon. Similar characters and both like a munch of beaver. Allegedly. 1 Link to comment

Redmist1903 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I'd say I wished Derek had went to Sunderland after the Celtic Cup Final when the opportunity arose but in all reality if he did we'd all have been shouting to have him back at every opportunity since then thinking he was some sort of messiah. In all reality if he went to Sunderland at that point he'd have been back here for his second stint by this point and getting found out. Move on folks. Link to comment

He possibly did go stale but I'd rather he was still in the dugout than the current manager. We'd be in a far better position in my view than we currently are. Good win and start for him yesterday.

No possibly about it, he was well past his sell by date. You do remember the terrible run of results from the Christmas until he got sacked, no chance Aberdeen would be in a better position with him still in charge the way things were going Link to comment

Hardly a wonder he doesnt slate a company that he duped into overpaying him for at least 18months ,where he strutted about like he was fucking Airchie, , failing to be held to account, failing to be pushed for progression, just happy to coast along and do as little as possible , as much as possible.

Red John you know you just need to stop replying to them to get rid of them but you just can’t resist it Things were getting that bad regarding offers of management positions for Derek that I was getting prepared to offer my skills as an agent for him. I would have got a good move for The Anchor Man. Kilmarnock can hardly be described as a good move. First thing I would have made him do is get him to ditch that beard to make himself look a hell of a lot younger. He looks washed up the poor fella. Link to comment
Alex Ferguson Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Can't believe the hate for Deek here, remember 2014?

The season we knocked the huns out both cups we finishe 4th in the league behind Killie. What a time to be alive. i was very much against Mcinnes in the end and thought he very much flattered to deceive. But the very fact we scudded the huns oot both cups in one season, and the 2 x league victories at Ibrox - i couldnt abuse him when he comes back. Link to comment

We had some poor cup exits despite being by far the 2nd best side in the country. Beaten by shite like Dundee and St Johnstone.

The strokes of luck between some of those other teams on the way to winning and us losing is too many to mention. Rooney’s ghost foul against Dundee United before Brown threw the winner into the net. Caley’s stonewall handball v Celtic. Jesus, Hayes off injured in 3 seconds in the one we won. GMS knocked out off injured and no penalty. Lewis throwing it in v St Mirren in the last one. Dundee the ball bouncing out off the line. Stevie May was because of that fucking song. McLean running past the ball for a tap in. Cursed. You can’t fix that. Link to comment

muttonhumper Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Bottom line. Cups competed in: 15 Cups won: 1 Cups failed in: 14 Even the 1 win was flukey as fuck. An inept and rudderless performance that needed pens to dispose of Scottish football giants Inverness. Link to comment
