jamboinglasgow Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 54 minutes ago, Mikey1874 said: Tom English says McInnes is getting sacked. He became Aberdeen manager 8 years ago next month. And though he has got them 2nd and a number of 3rd places, it still feels he mostly underachieved. Last few seasons have shown the limitations of how he is playing. The fact he subbed on McLennan who he has just given a new contract after 7 minutes for an injury then subs him in the 59th minute, hardly a way to build a young players confidence, raises question marks on him.

jamboinglasgow Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Saw someone defending McInnes saying look how Aberdeen have done compared to Hearts, Hibs and Dundee United in regards to top 4 finishes. Considering Aberdeen have the 3rd biggest budget and over McInnes time at Aberdeen he has had a few seasons without any of these teams and Rangers in the league through to various issues and his first full season where Hearts had admin, Hibs had a mental implosion and Rangers were in League One, they still finished behind Motherwell.

I think McInnes has only had one decent to good season when the league has been back at some sort of full strength - 2017/18 when they finished ahead of Rangers, who were just starting to get back to some sort of strength that season. Since then he's finished behind Killie and Motherwell, and could easily finish behind Hibs and Livvy this season. In the cups, one LC win is a very poor return.

JackLadd Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) McInnes has a 54% win record there which is the highest since Ferguson's 59%. If they empty him and get in a cheaper replacement chances are they go back the way. Would placate their fans in the short-term which is probably their immediate concern.

It's good but it's not Robbie Neilson good. Would be interesting to see his win record broken down into two eras - a full strength league (2017/18 - now) compared with a very understrength league (2012/13 - 2017/18) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re going to compare McInnes’s win rate against lower league managers you might as well compare him against the Queens Park manager, it’s just as pointless a comparison. Why are we only allowed to compare the first season and a half? Surely a win rate based over several years is a much better, bigger and more accurate sample? McInnes has done it consistently over the last 8 years, something that is much harder to do than over 18 months and something no Hearts manager has done in my lifetime. How often have we finished top 3 back to back over the last 50/60 years, let alone the odd runner up spot? Still a poor return in terms of trophies though but Aberdeen fans like to live in the 80’s and these times will never return. We’ve never lived through a recentish successful period like that though and probably explains why so many of our fans are so accepting of mediocrity.

We’ve never lived through a recentish successful period like that though and probably explains why so many of our fans are so accepting of mediocrity. You asked the question? What relevance has RN's record got to the discussion about McInnes's record other than to tee up an opportunity for you too have another needless dig at Neilson and fellow Hearts fans, while at the same time talking up the manager of a rival club? It's kind of hard to compare RN's 8 seasons with Hearts given he's managed us for less than 2. But again, you were the one who asked the question. In answer to this - "How often have we finished top 3 back to back over the last 50/60 years, let alone the odd runner up spot? " The last manager to do that for us was Craig Levein. The one to get nearest to it since and who was almost certainly heading for that was Mr Neilson.
