Have only read the opening post but as much as I hadn’t heard about any new manager, I had heard that Robbie was getting to see the season out and would be replaced in the summer and posted something to that effect yesterday I think it was.
 

If I was a betting man then I’d be putting a chunk of money on Alex Neil to become the next Heart of Midlothian manager.


I tried to get a price from Bet365 but they aren’t playing.

This is the man we could do with , but it could be hard as he might be settled with  his family in England   and it may cost a right few quid also ?good pal of savage and might be persuaded....

If you bothered to check the facts you'd see that we have 9 wins a piece since McInnes took over at Aberdeen, we haven't come anywhere close to dominating them.

Cathro responsible for 3 and 2 whilst Neilson worked him out. Once Neilson had, he never lost any of the next 4 winning 3, conceding only one in the 4.

 

So 4 wins beyond those. 

 

Considering where we were in those early years, particularly Locke season and first season back up Mcinnes started from a position of advantage and power.

 

As I said he was found out. As he has been this season in spectacular fashion  

 

How hard is it to score only one goal, against the worst team, in 9 matches.  Aberdeen fans hate him.

 

Do read what I say,  all of these points have been mentioned to add context to the facts as you put them

I am not remotely close to being in the know, but seems an obvious course. 

 

People tend to work with those they know and trust with JS now key

If Dodds helps makes McCann tick, what's the point of McCann if no Dodds.

Doubt Dodds would join just yet - read earlier on that his dug just died

Was sceptical of the OP but was told tonight Neilson is getting to see out the season but will be replaced in the summer. No names given as to his replacement though

Thanks for that mate, i really hope what you have heard is correct, we desperately need something to change.

I'd be happy with either McIness or McCann. McIness went stale at Aberdeen, but he built a good exciting side in his first few years - I don't think he ever figured out how to replace Adam Rooney or Shinnie. McCann is a fan of positive football, so I could get onboard with that. 

 

I'd love to see Alex Neil, but I just don't see him as a realistic prospect, he'll get higher paid job offers down south. 

McInnes Didnt really build that team. Aberdeen fans hate him. This place would melt down

Aberdeen finished in Europe 8 times in a row under McInnes and reached Hampden (i.e. semis or finals) 13 times. He brought in or nurtured guys like McLean, Jack, Shinney, Cosgrove and McKenna who have all go on to play at a higher level and had guys like Logan, Lewis, Ferguson, Rooney, McGinn and GMS who would have all walked it into our team at the time.

 

Meanwhile we've had higher attendances, been a more attractive club in terms of city, stadium and training facilities, had a huge amount of private investment and yet we've had one 3rd place finish, the rest has been mid table mediocrity or worse.

 

Anyone turning up their nose at the possibility of him replacing Neilson as manger is mental imo, we're an absolute shambles of a club at the moment.

If you lived up here you’d be way more clued up on McInnes than the outward stats and the stuff you are posting. Sir Gio , I can tell you has good connections to be far more spot on about Aberdeen and McInnes than yourself too. He gave you an argument and stats and you changed the goalposts. 

 

Hibs have reached how many semi’s and finals? How many times have you wanted their manager?

 

Aberdeen under McInnes did not develop all these amazing players. McInnes’s record with youth is abysmal!!! McInnes was all but his own boss at Aberdeen he had Milne in his pocket hence the ridiculous nigh on £1mil a year wage. 
 

McInnes’s teams are the epitome of kick and rush , the football they play is ****ing horrendous. Worse if possible than Levein and Neilson the only difference is he had a modicum of success with it whilst the league was severely weakened.

 

He underperformed a lot and at best met only some expectations with Aberdeen during that time. Aberdeen fans detest him , a lot of the players are not as fond of him as you think they might be. 
 

Aberdeens return of One League Cup from the time they had almost free reign as the second force in Scottish football is awful and does not come close to cutting it. 
 

If he comes in fair enough but itll be more falling asleep during games for us all and not much excitement at all.

McInnes didn't underperform, stupid to suggest otherwise. At the very least he did what was expected and that is not an easy task. See us and Hibs as an example.

A load of his cup finals were against Brendon Rogers Celtic that nobody was even close to competing with . 

Your bending the truth to suit.

So, a few failed Hearts managers won a couple of league fixtures (and all also lost some other fixtures) against McInnes Aberdeen, who’ve sat above us in league standings for basically a decade. And someone is flying the flag for these failed Hearts managers or such? McInnes lost a football game against Hearts 6 years ago so therefore x or y... just seems to be incomprehensible babbling. The guys record is basically perfect for what we need at the moment, folk forget he didn’t take over a club on the up, it he rebuilt Aberdeen from 9th place to 8 European places and silverware. 

 

It’s the rebuild bit and the record of signing players who’ve cut the mustard in the SPL that matters. We need signings not coaching would think that’s crystal clear, we need someone who can put a squad together that will put itself in the mix next season.

I am not a huge McInnes fan, but to suggest he was anything other than outstandingly successful at Aberdeen is nonsense.

 

He is easily they’re most successful

manager in 20-30 years, and statistically one of their best ever. That is just a fact.

McInnes may be good, who can tell, but the last thing we need right now is another Marmite appointment.  Someone to unite the supporters is a must, anything else and the rollercoaster ride continues..

Exactly.

If anything McInnes owned Neilson because after they embarrassed us 3-0 Nielson total changed his aproach to games and it ruined us.

Totally agree.

The chat about Levein /Cathro / Neilson  doing a number on McInnes is embarrassing.

Folk need to accept : the current squad isn't going to morph into some silky Barca outfit in the next 2 years : we're in a for a dogfight next season, in particular. I don't fancy McInnes Dons teams but the reality is, Hearts will be shopping in the bargain basement for the foreseeable future and we need a guy who knows the score up here.  We're looking at survival next season not Tynie Tiki Taka.

Mastered and schooled by Levein and Neilson? What are you basing this on?

 

During McInnes' 8 years at Aberdeen we beat them twice at Pittodrie, once (under Locke) against 10 men when we were bottom of the league and the other was the last game of the season when they had already secured 2nd place. It's now 6 years since we won up there.

Wow, that's a sobering statistic. How long has Budge been in charge?

Correlation or causation?

What nonsense, so you need 'good connections' to know about the job he did at Aberdeen?

 

I have eyes, I'm able to see for myself. Unfortunately I remember us being 3-0 down at home to them at HT in Neilson's first spell in charge. They absolutely battered us but apparently some on here think we dominated them at the time.

 

He may not play good football but that's not what we need right now, we need someone to shake things up and get us winning games and back challenging for top 3. The football was shite under Levein in his first spell but the trips to Bordeaux, Braga, Basle and Feynoord are amongst my happiest memories of being a Hearts fan and there were plenty of exciting games. Did you really care that we were direct when we beat Hibs 5-1 or Dunfermline 7-1?
