Thread: Sheep

  1. #1

    Sheep

    No been on their forum for a long long time and have zero intentions either but very pleasing to see them getting in a right state about McInnes on social media just now, calling for his head and all sorts.

    Lovely!!!

    An overrated manager, has been all along, plenty things fell into place at the right time for him (a fairly long list)

    Secondly, they have every right to be peeved with that team selection last night, he is and always has been overly cautious but last night changing to a 3-5-2 with 6 defenders and no width showed zero confidence against an average Sevco side, they should have been going there playing their usual 4231 with the right personnel in the right positions and going toe to toe

    Ye agree, overrated. They've the 3rd biggest budget in Scotland so they can afford to get the players that Celtic then secondly Sevco don't want/aren't interested in so in our top league that's enough to get 2nd or 3rd season after season. He's better staying where he is, hes not any better than their level.

    I think his head turned at the minute with the deadco being linked with him, since theyve been looking furra new manager they've went on a bad run......coincidence? i dont think so

    i personally think he's a rocket but he has assembled a decent team up in the city of dourness, even though he lost some top boys like hayes etc

    slightly overrated but cant doubt how good of a job hes done up there. yeah he does have a decent budget to play with but there are managers who have had big budgets in the league and done f all. Any aberdeen fan who complains about DM should be wary of where they were before he joined. with muppets like Mcghee and Brown in charge who had them closer to relegation that the top 6.

    it was like a foregone conclusion that he'd end up at sevco but i dont think he's done well enough to win the zombies over. e.g. needed to beat rodgers celtic/ win another trophy.

    his bottle went on wednesday at ibrox and have noticed he bottles all the big games (or most of the them anyways)

    The league does follow budgets.

    Celtic wages are 10-14x most in spl. Sevco, Aberdeen, hearts, Hibs. Not much in wages difference between the rest. If you have better players you are going to do better

    McInnes I thought had ruled himself out of Aberdeen but seems he might still go.

    Main upside is jack ross would surely fancy Aberdeen if they had to come calling

    Generally, yes but not all the time. Ourselves, Hibs, and in a different way St Johnstone prove this.

    Spot on. No one can argue the job he's done up there. Its not as if they've suddenly been given the 3rd biggest budget in the Premiership. Previous managers were backed and they were still the laughing stock. The Fun of the North i believe we tagged them. They are a funny bunch, wanting their most succesfull manager in a long long time sacked because they lost at Ibrox. Hopefully it happens and they find out just what it was like before he went there. If only McInnes had bought into Stevie's 5 year plan, who knows where we'd be now. Probably not here.

    Thompson didnt hire McInness cos he wanted to bring in experienced players and swore too much in the interview, and as Gunboat would say, thats a FACT!
