LeftBack Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Anyone else heard rumours McInnes is leaving Aberdeen? Someone close to club said he is on very thin ice and new owner wants someone in asap with money to spend in summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1971fozzy Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Aberdeen fans are wanting him out and have done for some time. 6 games now with no goals from open play ? thing is the sheep still have this weird train of thought they should be competing with the uglies. They need to realise it’s not 1983 anymore. hope he stays as he really is shite now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thought Police Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I’m no fan of his, but he turned down two big jobs to stay at Aberdeen. First sign of trouble (if you can call it that) and the fans have turned on him. Not very classy from the sheep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruyff Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Thing is. He is shite. He plays eye bleeding football but he's been consistant. Aberdeen may well become better to watch for their supporters if they get a different Manager with a new style but they won't compete at the level McInnes has had them at.

Gorgie_Rules Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) Would 100% take at Hearts Can say what you like but he has had Aberdeen consistently 2nd or 3rd in the table, cup record not amazing but still the odd semi and final here and there. When Aberdeen play the bottom 6 duds at home its pretty much a given they will win, something we are miles from at the moment. McIness has took Aberdeen as far as they can go as a club, thats the reality their fans struggle to come to terms with, the grass isn’t greener for them Edited February 9, 2020 by Gorgie_Rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euan 10 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 The sheep live in the Fergie era think they are this huge club who should be competing winning cups being the 3rd force when they aren’t even the 3rd force in Scotland. They finished 2nd cos no rangers hearts were poor they always bottle it or lie down to Celtic. I hope Mciness doesnt go Aberdeen sink down that league.

Mr Sifter Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 No firm views on the guy either way. Seems to have hit a wall up there which is good. On the other hand, always feels he bums up Hearts supporters and Tynie at every opportunity, so perhaps he’s a decent sort. I dunno.

red Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Amazed at some of the actual rockets on this board, Derek McInness is a brilliant manager with a excellent pedigree for brilliant signings which has been proven by his top 2/3 finishes for the past 6/7 years. Woulda taken him at Hearts in a heartbeat before DS and honestly I would probably take him now if compensation orders weren’t so hefty. Best manager in the league in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newton51 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I think Mcinnes is doing a good job too though reminds me of the levein situation last season.

I have a Rangers mate who is always talking up Hearts and reckons we’ll be comfortably safe, he’s even said top 6 is still within reach. Any of us could tell him he’s wrong. So on that note, Aberdeen can get rid if they like but ultimately I can’t see anyone who would be attracted to the job that would have that club at the same levels they’ve been accustomed to over the last 5 years or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S Form Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 He’s a bit of a shithouse, but apparently Kilmarnock have beaten Aberdeen once in their last 29 games (if I heard right on Sportscene).

The Internet Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Think he's done a really good job there but they probably peaked around 2015 through to 2018 and are starting to slow. As for transfers - mixed bag if I'm being kind. Made some good signings in his early years there but the list of players he's signed in the last 3/4 years must be grim reading for Aberdeen fans.

Didn’t they sign a Venezuelan RB or something in Jan? I read a thing a few days ago that pointed out it was the first non British Isles player they’ve had in a very long time, possibly the first since McInnes took over. If I was the chairman of a club I’d be cautious about him becoming my manager as despite being a manager for a long time he has little to no experience of foreign players. Quite a big skill gap in modern football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
