Cormack clearly has lots of ideas and plenty of enthusiasm. Seems his approach is "let's try things - if they work, great - if they don't, at least we've tried". I quite like that. Only thing that irked me was him reiterating this "challenger brand" thing. I don't understand why he comes out with that - I guess he's trying to set realistic expectations, but still, he must know that it doesn't come across well to fans.
I get the impression he'll put more demands on McInnes than Milne ever did, in relation to the way we play and the targets set etc. There were a few awkward moments where he made "jokes" and neither Lewis or Campbell laughed (particularly not Lewis who looked uncomfortable just being there). I didn't think Lewis came across all that well when he spoke, he's dreary and not inspirational in the slightest. Campbell has a bit more passion for the club being a fan himself. I wonder if Cormack will get involved in trying to influence McInnes decisions about who to give the captaincy to etc? He seems like the kind of guy who would. Will be interesting to see how McInnes reacts to greater scrutiny, demands and interference.
