If Everton come calling, I can see McInnes maybe being interested.

He'd be off his rocker to go to Ibrox just now - they're never going to close the gap to Celtc despite the ludicrous fan expectations, so even being a 'Rangers man', he'll fail.

He's been given time to build a reasonably decent squad at Pittodrie, and the club is on the verge of moving to a new stadium with new facilities. Rangers, meanwhile, will probably overspend in the coming years trying to bridge the gap to Celtc and end up financially imploding all over again.

Agreed. It’s a poisoned chalice for anybody clued up. Whoever they appoint they will never be able to bridge the resource gap on Celtic. Nobody in the game will consider them a success if they managed to take the points deficit from 25 to 15. You just set yourself up for failure.

Thinks Eck might be in the frame till end of season or even Kenny Miller, but as for a straight in 'reputable' manager.......there is none.

According to someone over on ‘the bears den’;

‘’It's apparently an 'already scheduled board meeting' - that's why King's still here - as opposed to an emergency board meeting to sack Pedro.’

Which I really hope is true as Pedro has to stay.

Along with Sally. That sounds plausible. Can't see anybody taking the job who isn't gambling on somehow turning them into a decent side. Mcinnes apparently was offered the job but he wouldn't resign and the clubs couldn't agree compensation. Pedro then got the job. That was from something with coaching knowledge in the West. After last night's whipping by celtic will Mcinnes realistically think he would be able to in any way challenge celtic with that sevco team. Would be a huge gamble. Depends on what his salary would be I suppose.

Alexander " Francis " Neil, sounds a bit too timish

You know, that's exactly how they 'think' (using the word very loosely).

His middle name's Francis? He's obviously 'not a Rangers man'.

I changed my car this year - bought a FIAT.

First week I had it a guy I kinda know - definitely a 'Rangers man' - said to me, "What did you get that for? That's a priest's car."

True Proddies apparently never buy Italian cars. Fact. They've all been blessed by the Pope, apparently.

Personally, I think they should go for young Cathro. Never got a proper chance at the PBS - hidden depths in that young man.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Doesn't matter who they bring in. They'll get the same results. They are comparing results against their cheating years. Like Hearts they need to suck it up and accept reality.

[Iain G]

Fed up with this knee jerk reaction in football to sacking managers when they are actually performing well and certainly better than any of their predecessors.

Pedro has taken this new club to the dizzying heights of fourth in the Premier League, a position that not many can say they have achieved, and due to a rush of blood to the head at boardroom level, probably due to their new found proximity to the summit of Scottish football, they have developed delusions of grandeur and now want to sack the most successful manager in their history!!

Football has gone mad, where will it all end!! :agree:

I get your point, but I was giving it some thought last night. If they approached McInness.. you'd imagine they'll promise him a barrel of money to spend (which they haven't got obviously) and ask him to target Celtic (usual). He may see it as a new challenge (and increased cash for himself) while appreciating that he may not be able to take Aberdeen much further.

On the other hand.. he's well-regarded just now and the huns job hasn't exactly been a great profile-builder for managers of late.

In conclusion - Pedro must stay.

Is he not Portuguese?

[Hibernia&Alba]

Let's see what the outcome is, but it's surely over for Pedro. He's been given a lot of money to spend by Scottish football standards, yet they are abysmal. It seems he's lost the fans too. I do agree that the Rangers job is an impossible ask vis-à-vis expectations and reality; there's no way they can win the league for the foreseeable. However, it's a big club which still has pulling power, and I can see McInnes being there very soon. The question of a pay off for Pedro and compensation for Aberdeen is relevant here, though. How much would it cost them, and do they have the money?

[Paisley Hibby]

McInnes is seriously overrated and would be expensive. Tommy Wright might be a better shout.

True, but Pedro hasn't won anything. Surely Warburton is their most successful manager in terms of trophies won. He won the Scottish Championship and the illustrious Petrofac Cup. Did he not win the Scottish Cup in 2016 as well, or did he forget his magic wand for that one?

[Hibernia&Alba]

Hopefully it's a false alarm and Sir Pedro remains in situ. Failing that, Kenny Miller would be good. What we don't want is somebody who knows what he's doing. Then again, anybody who knows what they are doing, will avoid the Rangers job like the plague.

With one exception (last year's cup final) his team has got nowhere near Celtic in matches against them. And even in that exception they still lost. Sure, Aberdeen are maintaining second place but given their finances and the mismanagement at Rangers, that's only achieving what any competent manager should be able to do. Better measures of his managerial ability are probably Bristol City (win ratio of 26%) and Aberdeen's continuing poor record in Europe.

2nd every season when they’re not that far ahead of the rest of the league financially? Even this season they’re only 3 points behind Celtic. He’s instilled an ability to grind out results vs worse teams (something we are unable to do) and has made some excellent signings. Great manager IMO.

[Ozyhibby]

Hope at the board meeting this morning it was decided that they could not afford to sack Pedro. If they do though, it doesn’t matter who they get. The divisions in the squad, unrealistic expectations of the fans and the poor finances of the club will ensure failure. Hopefully McInnes as that will seriously upset Aberdeen.

Very pleasing.

Hearts and Rangers both pouring money down the shunky to a band playing.

Doesn't get better than this. Pass the popcorn.

[hibsbollah]

Very peculiar... The BBC Scotland website is running the Pedro story with The Rangers prior managers listed with 'trophies won' Warburton 2, and two people called Alistair McCoist and Walter Smith with two and eight trophies won:confused:

How the media can really pretend this is accurate reporting? How did we end up tolerating this ****ing nonsense? If pre Sevco are the same club as post Sevco I assume they'll be handing HMRC that £150 million back.

Gregory Campbell to keep the natives happy. Actually, he might be too much of a handwringer for them. Jim Allister would be more popular.

Jim Alister would soon root out the ungodly traitors in their support. That must surely be the reason they are such flops. The witch finder general would put things right, etc. etc.

Radio 2 has Billy Davies as favourite.

Would love it if that’s the case, or Steve McLaren, another that’s been linked.

Basically I hope they they stick with their vision of going for a complete huddy in charge. It’s suited the rest of us just fine the last few years.

[Marcus_Hibs]

Wonder if Billy Davies will throw Billy Davies' hat in the ring?

Win win for him. He either gets the job, or if he get rejected, he can hold his head up high and claim he turned it down because he didn't like the structure of the club!

Sad to see agent Pedro go, what an incredible job he was doing!

[Onion]

Whoever gets the job is on a hiding to nothing and likely to have a shelf life of a pint of milk. Celtic are their benchmark, irrespective of how unrealistic that is so anyone taking the job is simply looking to fill their wallets or are seriously deranged.

Huns and Yams are finding out what it's like to pay their way... more pain to come for those 2. Lovin' it :aok:

[Deansy]

Doesn't matter who they bring in. They'll get the same results. They are comparing results against their cheating years. Like Hearts they need to suck it up and accept reality.

Sevco would never be able to afford McInnes or his assistants. They've still got two years left and they're skint. Would he walk away into the shambles that is sevco? They'll be looking for someone who is without a club and can potentially work wonders with no money while at the same time singing the sash

[Clarence]

I wouldn't be surprised to see McInnes go there. He'd have a bigger budget than at Aberdeen and would fancy himself as easily securing second spot and maybe ending Celtic's unbeaten run. Dreamland to think that Rangers can compete with Celtic but also dreamland to think that Aberdeen can.

He signed a recent deal when Sunderland were interested which may have made it easier for him to leave, who knows.

McInnes stock is still high and he's taken Aberdeen as far as he can. Would not be surprised to see him go to the Huns for more money. Still no chance of them beating Celtic.

If he has a brain in his head he won't go near them! Another good season at Aberdeen and his stock will remain high and a better option than a basket case club (Sunderland, the Sevco) will be open to him.

Moving to Rangers now would undo all of the good work he has done to his reputation.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

The whole set up at Rangers is wrong. They brought in the 4th best manager from Qatar who was known to have worked with Celtic before and is a Catholic, how did they think this was gonna end??

Look at their signings. Take the religious aspect out of it, how many knew their responsibilities as a rangers player? The money they spent on ban average players is scandalous.Who sanctioned the signings of Herrera, Pena, Cardoso,Alves?

Post 2012 they’ve continued spending crazy money with noreal longer term plan so I have absolutely no sympathy for them. Look at us,each transfer window sees us tweaking our squad. We have a base that we willadd to but know exactly who and what we’re after. Rangers are just spendingcrazy money to appease the follow followers
Whether its their DOF or scouting system, probably bothactually should be punted along with Pedro. Some players available to Scottishclubs in the summer for moderate fees or loans were Moult, Stevie May, BrandonBarker, Jonny Hayes, Danny Swanson, Simon Murray and Rangers signed none ofthem.
Their business model is absolutely not sustainable. I agreewe do need a strong Rangers, but that’s in addition to a strong Hibs, Hearts,Aberdeen and Dundee United. If they can’t see where they’re going wrong then**** them. Their fans are ****ing horrible and don’t deserve anything otherthan misery for years to come. My worry is the SFA listen to the goons in themedia and start to do things that will help the “mighty Glasgow rangers”

haha I don't actually think they've had THAT MUCH help since they were fast tracked back in to the pro league set up (but lets be serious, they were never not getting back in)

They get their usual home draws but then got given celtic in the semi's and pants pulled down on national tv either by them or us.

Since they've been "back" in the premiership, they've had more than their fair share of red cards and questionable decisions against them - which is refreshing

It would be heart v head for McInnes. The heart would say yes, but the head's learned from his spell at Bristol City that you shouldn't go to a club that's heading downwards. That's why he turned down Sunderland so I suppose it would depend on what financial promises Sevco could give him.
