    Hope he goes. Unfortunately Aberdeen will then probably go for Tommy Wright.

    Theoretically, if the Dons approached Hibs, do you think Lennon would want to have the discussion with them?

    What do you think?

    Frankly if Lenny seriously thought the grass was greener at the Dons I would chuckle and let him go. No place for fools at our club.

    Fortunately, I think he's a pretty smart guy.

    Tend to agree with you, particularly the smart guy part.

    Why would Lennon go to Aberdeen when he's already at the second best team in Scotland.

    No way Lennon would leave for Aberdeen. I do think Stubbs will be a stick on for them if mcinnes goes though.
    I would personally be gutted to see Stubbs at another Scottish club.

    Mark McGhee would be ideal for Aberdeen IMO. He'd take them back to where they belong!

    Aberdeen always have a certain attraction. In the same way people talk of potential at hibs there is potential at Aberdeen. You might hope that some prolonged success, in a one club city, might see them attract greater numbers than we can hope to.

    They are a club too long in the doldrums and their support seems slow to return. Too many false dawns perhaps? The potential is still there though.

    While there is little to choose between the clubs at the moment I think that if Lennon thought he would get a better wage and a bigger budget then he would at least hear them out.

    Well Bristol City didn't really work out, even if he did save them from relegation. He'd have more money to spend with Sunderland, reckon he might go for it. If Aberdeen were able to win the Scottish Cup his value goes up obviously, but I noticed Martin Bain, who was at Rangers when McInnes was there, is now on the board at Sunderland.

    Aberdeen season 2016-17: 2nd place in top division, finalist in national cup, runner-up in league cup.
    Average attendance: 12,453, 3-4k behind two Edinburgh teams despite one having a poor season and one in division below.

    I'd bolt at the first opportunity if that was the attendance I was getting. If either us or Hearts were having that level of consistent success we'd be selling out every week.

    McInnes will go down to Sunderland for a year or so and then return to Ibrox.

    Got to be honest when I first heard we were linked with him I thought "who?". Since then however I have done some research into him and after watching the Scottish Cup final at the weekend I am warming to the idea of him being Sunderland manager. He'd now be my first choice, closely followed by Garry Monk.

    They have reached their potential. 2nd 3 seasons in a row and two cup finals. Still attract dismal numbers.

    It's a very good achievement. However that in itself could put a potential replacement off as it's difficult to see room for improvement, so realistically the only way is down.
    Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

    Having lived in Aberdeen for 6 years...only way is down for them. They have already reached their fanbase potential. Hibs (and Hearts) can attract far bigger followings. Imagine if we were 2nd on top of the cup finals?

    Cathro anyone?

    He should now understand the schematics of the stadium. He will want to stay in the moment and deal with the situation.

    Aberdeen aren't drawing big crowds despite their relative success over the past few seasons because of the huge job losses in the oil industry which the majority of people who live here work in.

    Many people who live here are jobless, skint or have a real fear of losing their job in the near future so aren't spending money.
