Derek McInnes

[truehibernian]

No post game interview after (yet another) defeat and nowhere to be seen - he’s perfect for Hearts. Spent the week saying how much he loves Killie, the chairman, had brekky with him, etc - then becomes a ghost !

Thank god we never ever considered that *****bag 😂

[Not In The Know]

Yup. Just been called out by Tom English on the radio for that.

Big time charlie thinking he’s bigger than Killie and could actually still mange them for two games and then leave to a league rival.

Absolutely ridiculous by both clubs to announce McInnes before the end of the season. Let it run until next Monday then announce. Absolutely no reason whatsoever to be announcing before the end of the season especially when they are due to play Killie. Arrogant beyond belief imo

[Pretty Boy]

I don't know why he is hanging about like a bad smell tbh. Their season is done. He should just walk away and let a caretaker oversee the last 2 games. If he wasn't willing to then he should have been put on gardening leave and told to. No good can come off him being in charge for their game on Sunday.

His whole laughing and joking with Boyd about the Hearts job last weekend put me right off him as well. Not a good look at all.

Nobody has announced anything yet.

Gonna need police protection on Sundsy at this rate Killie fans are raging

At least Tanz on Gorgie Road will see a nice wee uplift in business with Deek at the wheel

The disrespect show to Kilmarnock from both mcinnes and hearts is vile. Not surprising but classless.

“Called out” by Tom English?

It was him that couldn’t contain his excitement on Saturday night as he gleefully announced that Hearts were expected to make their move the following day.

Needs to make his mind up!

They just said on sportscene it's been confirmed.

McInnes is a good manager. He has performed consistently with both Aberdeen and Killie .... ok this season not so good as the last, but when it comes to Killie keeping them in the league can be considered, if not success, then at least not failure.

If he has under performed it is his failure in the cups with Aberdeen, where one league cup in 8 years was hardly spectacular.

What the situation is with him and Hearts who knows. All we do know is that Hearts are a complex situation. You have the Foundation of Hearts fan ownership aspect, you have the Anne Budge factor, you have the James Anderson factor, and now you have the Brighton / Jamestown analytics factor.

For a manager who allegedly likes to have a tight control of what goes on that's a whole pile of sometimes conflicting interests and egos for him to contend with ..... it might work for him, but if it doesn't it could fail spectacularly.

Here's hoping :greengrin

Is that another away game and another defeat for the Poundland Pep.

Wanted The Rangers job and **** the bed when offered it. Tonight proved (and the pre match press conference) he’s not a leader - delighted he’s going to them, must have passed the “avoid difficult questions and be a narcissist” test on the “analytics 😂 Hearts also proving how classless they are with their negotiation before the end of the season. They’re a match made in heaven, neither have any class or standards.

It is so classic Hearts. Manufacturing a wee comfort blanket for their poor wee lambs, while Hibs wrap up 3rd place. There is simply no other reason for not delaying it. :greengrin

Suppose most clubs would agree for it not to be so public a few days before the end of the season and when said teams are playing on Sunday

Why did hearts and Mcinnes have to do this now? They could have spoken privately and agreed things but waited until end of season to make anything public. A few weeks ffs.

Classless Huns are made for each other.

Hearts haven’t announced anything though. Nor have Kilmarnock. It’s McInnes and the jambo love-in crew at Sportsound, English, Preston et. al that have been creaming their knickers over this appointment and made it public knowledge.

[Since452]

Absolute *****bag not appearing for the post game interview last night. 3-0 defeat to Motherwell. Exciting times for Hearts.

[hibees 7062]

He’s been told to stay away and won’t be in charge of the hertz game

[jacomo]

Even worse - privately, everyone seemed to know it was a done deal, but neither club had the good grace to inform their fans officially.

Arrogant enough to take the press before the match. Cowardly enough to send his assistant out after it because they lost. Would he have done that if they won? No chance.

Should be a good fit for the Gorgie Mob right enough.

:agree: Completely lacking any class. I remember SDG always faced up to the media after all the games in our poor run at the start of the season.

He's been put on 'Gardening Leave' by Billy Bowie

McInnes No.2 says ‘ he deserved better after Killie fans turned on McInnes . I think McInnes has handled things quite badly especially the Boyd Situation . Really poor stuff . Really glad he’s not our manager.

Any pictures of the “guard of honour” from Tynecastle last night👀🤣🤣🤣

Early red card ****ed them last night, but at the same time, how can you expect the players to be up for it when the manager is clock watching to the end of the season. Killie should’ve put him on gardening leave before last nights game.

So the clubs are criticised for announcing it (which they didn’t do)and as a fallback position are criticised for not announcing it.:greengrin

Kilmarnock just released a statement saying he won't be in charge for the last game.

A ridiculous situation all round. It's not like when Clarke left for the Scotland job and got a great send off on the back of a great season. This is a guy who has had a crap season and then spent the last week dropping his drawers to Hearts and then 'leaked' the deal himself.

I think we’ve all had a wee glimpse into his character this last week or so.

People like that always get found out eventually. I’d absolutely love it if he had a disaster with them.

Could have at least kept tight lipped until the last game of the season was done, then announced any deals after that. Similar to what Ange did when going to Tottenham a couple of years ago, be respectful to the club and fans. Nae class.

[Since452]

He's really not come across well since appearing on Sky next to Boyd and not shutting him down.

[Billy Whizz]

MacInnes has made an absolute mess of this. Using his media pals in front of the nation to big him up for the job. Cringeworthy stuff and zero respect for Killie

He’ll never get another big job after this behaviour

[Hibees1973]

So McInnes now avoiding the game on Sunday.

Has turned into a bit of an unseemly mess. Kilmarnock support not pleased at all with the way the whole thing has been done. McInnes now leaving on poor terms.

McInnes has managed to put himself front of house, even though he has not been appointed. He will enjoy this. Could Hearts have not just approached McInnes on Monday (after the season had ended).

Typical of the Yam creating a news story, during the season (they are the darlings of football media in Scotland given the many reporters/pundits of a Yam persuasion). Clearly timed to deflect what has been a miserable season for them, given the amount of money they have wasted.

Not a great start by the arrogant ones.

[gbhibby]

White smoke seen over Tinycastle and crowds gathering in the Plaza is this for the appointment of the new Messiah or is it just more money being burned in search of mediocrity.

Same, thank goodness the huns are too snobby to even look at him either. I think he’s a fantastic manager

[ruthven_raiders]

Any normal club would have waited till after Saturday to announce their manager, but I suspect they just wanted media attention this week, wonder why 🤔 😅😅

[Bishop Hibee]

43 years to the day since they lost 0-1 at home to Motherwell meaning they stayed down in the first division. If I recall correctly their fans went radge and were throwing coins, darts and all sorts at the players and Wallace Mercer. How we laughed!

Hopefully McInnes is as successful as Tony Ford.

[jacomo]

This from The Herald apparently:

Hearts' plans to unveil McInnes as their new manager have been put on hold until chairwoman Ann Budge returns from holiday.

Always good to see where Budge’s priorities lie… making herself the centre of attention.

I look forward to this going very badly.

McInnes was a hot property when Aberdeen appointed him. He is just another mediocre manager now, the Hearts fans will be hounding him out before Xmas.
