OTT Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I don't want him. Youth development and having a cohesive style of play is important to me. I realise other fans will differ, but after several years of watching Leveinball, I really don't want to watch McInnesball, which is a more successful version of Leveinball. The Dons fans were every bit as depressed as we were watching the shite McInnes was serving up. I want a feeling of being on a journey to building something. McInnes does not inspire me at all. Neil would, several times over in fact. If what another poster posted about Alex Neil not wanting to uproot his family for a gamble, then the club should be looking at what would make this not a gamble for him. i.e what can the club do to support him. Neilson is a lame duck IMO as there isn't a way back from the Brora result in amongst everything else. I'm far more open to the idea of Neil McCann now, than I was last summer. I'd like a manager who can coach his players to make them better, rather than a manager that signs his way out of trouble with 28 year olds we can't sell on for money. 1.) Alex Neil - Proven track record working with young players 2.) Stephen Robinson - Motherwells academy has been generating talent hand over fist. He's not shirked playing them and seems a steady hand. 3.) Neil McCann - I think he's got an attacking philosophy and could be an interesting curveball 4.) Daniel Stendel - I think we made an error letting him go. He was dealt a shit hand and deserved more support. I doubt he'd return or Budge would swallow her pride. But I'd certainly like to see him given a full summer window to rebuild the squad as he intended to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not totally against McInnes, but I'm more hopeful we get someone with a clear attacking style and ability to blood in the youth players, plus not shitting it against the OF. I don't think that's McInnes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Idle Talk Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 The closest I want McInnes to get to the home dugout at Tynecastle is the away dugout. I concede he would be an upgrade on Robbie Neilson but McInnes' teams are unexciting to watch as well. If you are fed up with the kind of football we are playing under Robbie Neilson, but you want Derek McInnes to replace him, then you are not really paying attention. I would rather bring back Daniel Stendel(yes I know that is never going to happen, I'm just saying). At least with Stendel it felt like we were being introduced a fast paced, attacking brand of football. That's the direction I want to see the team travelling in. I'm not sure how I feel about Alex Neil or Neil McCann at this juncture but I would be more inclined to give them a go than see McInnes get the job.

You might be right but I’m not so sure. I honestly think it could hang on how results go from here. I’m not talking about if we get promoted or not because we will go up.

Sertse Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Spoke to a sheep fan at work today. Said he was absolutely gutted to see McInnes go and was gutted Logan had left. Would love to see any player try to call him by his first name, like him or not McInnes would demand respect. Could it be that we just need a firm hand in the dressing room? On a separate note he said the sheep support is very divided over Brown going to them. Most of them absolutely hate him (for good reason).

simplesimon Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Not sure how McInnes is another Levein/Neilson, from what I recall his Aberdeen teams played front foot, passing football. Can't say I want him though, I'm sure he would fancy a job down south and he's never going to take Hearts above their capabilities, just get them playing to them. I want another Stendell type appointment that just might break us through the glass ceiling the old firm and sfa have in place. We're dull and unexciting to watch and not blooding youngsters, which is why I want Neilson gone, but we're not fire fighting like when Stendell came, time to try again.

gregzy2k7 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Hope not, apart from his style not being the most easy on the eye, his results in big games have been shockingly poor, 1 league cup in 8 years at the dons doesn't make for great reading, he did have them consistently in europa league qualifiers every season but the only reason he achieved lots of 2nd and 3rd place finishes was because rangers, hibs and us and to a lesser extent dundee united were not in the league for several seasons , This would be an uninspiring appointment and would yet again split the support, we need someone who will unite the support imo.
