Rick Sanchez Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 The people clamouring for Duncan Ferguson are just missing a bit of passion and playing for the shirt. It's been far too long. I'd prefer McInnes to Neil but I'm not fussed. Just give me someone with a bit of something about them that can command a dressing room and set a team up positively.

jambonian Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 So, there's two available that we are aware of at the moment. Derek McInnes and Alex Neil. McInnes kept Aberdeen up there for the last few years. His team was better a few seasons back when they had Adam Rooney etc in their squad. He signed some decent players and only a few failures and hasn't been allowed to sign as good quality as before due to cutbacks at the club. he wanted Liam Boyce and never got him. He wanted to take Gary Mackay-Steven back to Aberdeen, he never got him. And now we've got Shay Logan, yes, initially on loan but he wants to stay on and sign a contract with Hearts if he can. Quite a McInnes connection to recent signings. Alex Neil. Helped turn Hamilton into a steady Premier team (wish these fkrs would get relegated, shitey support and stadium) and he did quite well at Norwich at first with a fraction of the budget of the big English clubs. Knows Joe Savage from his time with Preston. In terms of keeping Hamilton steady and managing okay at Norwich, i'd say Hearts were a good in-between option, a challenge to get Hearts back near the top. Norwich weren't expected to challenge the Man City's and Liverpool's of this world, Hamilton are happy avoiding relegation every season so a tempting challenge seeing as there's really only the old firm to get near in Scotland. I don't know.....either of them would be up for that challenge i think. If it is one of them then they've got a lot of mess to sort out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weegie jambo Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Added fuel to the fire is McInnes in the press stating that he'd get back into management if the right job came up. I'm guessing he may have been sounded out already and the newspaper articles are paving the way for an announcement once promotion is secured and Robbie can bow out having achieved the promotion he was employed to get.

My Mrs has a season ticket I've watched as much of Aberdeen as I have Hearts, frying pan into the fire. Would be an abysmal unimaginative and ultimately flawed appointment. Prepared to take stick, stuck my neck out on the signing of Mackay Steven as a player who was either hot cold or injured, physically or mentally. Unfortunately I know a good deal about the Sheep, eye bleeding. Same words people have used about Neilson and they want Mcinnes to replace him. Its incredible What incredible is given our plight we’d turn our noses up at a manager who finished in Europe every single season he’s managed in Scotland. a manager who unquestionably restored aberdeen to being the third force in Scotland after decades of being a laughing stock. we are the laughing stock now, we are a complete ****ing joke.
