Derek McInnes (tells Sevco to bolt)/Next The Rangers Manager Thread

[Skol]

Reminds me of a time when a similarly names but now defunct club were told to bolt by both Alex Ferguson and Jim McLean. I think they turned to Jungle Jock Wallace back then

Looking at Aberdeen forums, they are not happy with him for not killing it sooner. Huns are in turmoil. Great outcome for us.

Wow how ungrateful can you get.

Rangers Media is comedy gold. They now didn't want him anyway and will do better apparently 😂 who will that be then?

I've got a lot of respect for McInnes for this.

He's dodged a couple of bullets in Sunderland and Sevco, possibly the two worst run clubs in the UK.

It would be easy to be seduced by the promise of funds, big crowds, big stadia but the reality is that they are both impossible fanbases to satisfy with the resources he'd be provided with.

A lot of people have left clubs like Hibs and Aberdeen prematurely and paid a price for that.

He won't be at Aberdeen for long, he'll leave when the first good offer comes along.

But it's good to see someone who is prepared to wait for a good offer.


(As I speak, Michael Stewart talking a lot of sense on radio Scotland).

Even those 2 must be behind Blackpool in that respect

To be fair I think he has a right to hear what they are offering

He’s saving himself for the Blackpool job

Good for us in two ways, still no rangers manager but McInnes will have lost a lot of good will from the Aberdeen fans which won't help them

Dons fans are daft if they give McInnes grief for this.

But I'm sure some of them have said some things they now regret but can't undo.

When the Sevco board were asked if it was a case of the grass not being greener, they said "You're right, Lee Wallace always wears blue"

Gjp.

The chairman has already ruled him out when he said all the available managers not in employment weren’t good enough.

Tbf (and I’m not normally fair to those horrible *******s) the few Huns I know genuinely didn’t want him. I think they felt he would make a better fist of competing for second but would never have them challenging Celtic.

Most of us know that won’t happen for years anyway but that’s where their ambitions lie.

Who is favourite now? Big Eck?

I got a bet on murty so fingers crossed it’s him.

It'll be interesting to hear (if we do) from him what he saw in the future of Aberdeen FC that he didn't see in The Rangers.

Both teams can only realistically challenge for second in years to come. At one club that'll get you sacked.

Can picture the scene in Traynor's house tonight at a hastily arranged meeting of all the 'Heads of Football-Media in Scotland' -

'Before I 'leak' the name of our 2nd-choice to you, it's the same rules as last time - at no time do you mention this info coming from me or Rangers - we must have complete and total deniability or we won't unsettle the rival and his club - worse still we might even have to pay the going-rate - in full - as against getting a manager who's completely ruined his relationship with his curent chairman/club and it's fans - on the cheap !!'

He will resign, they will still have to pay compo is my understanding. I did post he wouldn't be huns manager this week and this is not unexpected. Sheep say no, look like they have done all they can to keep him Mcinnes will resign as he's agreed to become the manager and that's that.

so he hadnt really agreed to become manager then?

[Jim44]

There’s a thread on FF, started this morning, about Kris Boyd’s article in today’s Sun. He talks about Aberdeen having only themselves to blame for losing McInnes ‘who will very soon and definitely be joining Rangers’. The muppets, who generally hold Boyd in low esteem, changed their tune because they liked what he was saying. Cue tonight’s news that McInnes was staying at Aberdeen and Boyd has suddenly morphed back into a tosser in their eyes. Boyd’s pontifications, such as McGinn leaving us, really expose him as a blether with no credibility, whatsoever.

He’ll have his eye on a decent job in England rather than being convinced he’s got a great future with eberdeen IMO.

Fair play to him for not jumping ship at the first (or second) opportunity, although I still suspect Stewart Milne will see him alright for his loyalty, as he probably should tbf.

[JohnMcM]

Here's an idea to create a hu*****us meltdown over there.

Can someone with access to RM please put a post on there that the rumour now is that they are looking to poach,,,,

They will probably keep Murty until the end of their season which should be about mid February.....

If they approach someone else right away, the guy will know he isn't first choice. Let's hope the truth comes out about the reasons McInnes turned them down. Was it a compensation problem; lack of transfer funds; something else? When he missed Aberdeen training, it looked a done deal, so what's happened?

I hope it's big Eck, just to see the Huns' reaction.

[SirDavidsNapper]

I think McInnes is being very savvy about this. He's a hero at Aberdeen and can't really do any wrong there. He's already had his hands burned at Bristol City so seems to be chosing his options very carefully. I've no doubt he'll be on a very good salary at Pittodrie with the investors money floating about so why give all that up to join a shambles of a club where 2nd will eventually get you sacked?. I certainly wouldn't.

Jim Traynor - 'And if the second choice falls through we'll hire Cathro and sell the plebs the line he's really a misunderstood messiah, now GET OUT before I sack the lot of you!'

If they don't have anyone in place by next week then all the better for Hibs.

Murty has had two great wins but lets not forget he's lost to Dundee and Hamilton. All to play for.

Aberdeen and Rangers each with other distractions can only be good for us.
