Maybe if McInnes acted professionally and said 6 weeks ago he wasn't interested and it put them off we wouldn't have lost two games on the bounce to them...

Sevco Statement:
THERE has been a great deal of media speculation regarding the appointment of a new manager. We assure all supporters that they will be the first to know when we are certain we have someone with the correct qualities required by our club.
The Chairman made it clear at the AGM that the club did not consider there to be an outstanding candidate among those who had applied for the position and the club was therefore considering managers currently under contract. This requires permission from their present clubs.
The position of Rangers manager requires an ability to win football matches and the mentality to cope with the demanding off-pitch environment that goes with being the Rangers manager. This is a critical aspect of our assessment of any candidate during the interview process.
After the two games against Aberdeen, we requested permission to engage with their manager to assess his readiness and willingness to consider the Rangers position. This was declined. We were subsequently made aware by Aberdeen’s statement that, at this stage in his career, it would be best for him to remain in his current post. We endorse that position because moving to a massive club like Rangers is a big step with concomitant risk. We continue to consider candidates but will only appoint someone in whom we have full confidence and who feels he is ready for the job.
In the meantime, we have great confidence in Graeme Murty, who will continue as interim manager at least until the end of the year. The manner in which he has approached this task is a credit to himself and the club.
Even the huns are raging with that statement.
Maybe the speculation affected performances. Maybe we're just going through a bad patch of form.
"acted professionally" - by responding to pure media speculation? Sevco didn't officially declare an interest in McInnes until this week. McInnes was eventually forced to respond because things were dragging out longer than expected. I doubt he or anyone else thought that the h*ns would take this long to make a move for someone.
AFC fans are always moaning about the 'Weegia' yet many have allowed themselves to be sucked into all the hype surrounding McInnes moving to Rangers. Maybe the Weegia wouldn't bother folk so much if they just ignored it.
Is that statement genuine though?
It reads professional enough up to the 4th paragraph, then it loses it and sounds like me on a rant but still trying to sound in control.
If it's genuine it's f'uckin hilarious.
F'uck sake.
That's the first time and probably the last I will ever check the Hun official site.
Oh, ma sides.
... and they they will still want to attract a decent good manager, even after releasing a statement like that, publically damning derek... huns XD
