McInnes to Rangers

[Mason89]

You heard it here first, although I do admit to making it up just there in my own tiny wee mind.
Anyway the way I see it, the magic hat is spewing about the Barton transfer & is smart enough to know that he can't win next season. He'll be off first chance he gets. That's when the Huns will flash their knickers at McInnes, with promises of transfer war chests.


Don't shoot the messenger. I'm just giving you all the heads up

[Gallus79]

Close thread.

[Mason89]

Close thread.

Here comes the thought police, right on time :)

[Aldo1983]

This rumour will be on twitter soon then it'll be in the papers.

I done that to a guy at my work where I made up a rumour he was getting moved office. Before you know it one of the bosses was talking about it and believing that it was true. Needless to say he was moved and I became some type of demi God capable of working people's minds.



Anyway, I heard it was true about McInnes as well. Apparently he's not happy about the budget.

[Mason89]

I heard that about the budget too Aldo, just didn't want to mention it on an open forum. That's how rumours start.

[Barnared]

Close thread.

Cmon Gallus79, it is football related after all. As soon as a football related topic comes up, you want it closed?


If you'd said something like "what a load of p!sh" or "really, that's the best you could come up with?" then I could have agreed with you but is it not more fun having a laugh at the mason than closing his thread?



Unhappy with the budget XD When has a manager ever been truly happy with his budget? :zzz:

[Mason89]

Laugh it up. You're overlooking two fairly big points.

1- I'm never wrong about AFC.
2- McInnes is a Hun.

Look into that crystal ball you're so fond of. You'll see I'm right.


Again.

Paying Joey Deacon a few bob. Can't be that skint.

[Mason89]

Just had it confirmed by a guy who knows someone in the know at Iprix. It's a done deal apart from all the financials, squad budgets etc

[Brian Grantland]

tremendous fishing expedition this

Aldo sooking up Mason's arse shocker ... I predicted that the minute this immature post was posted :zzz:

[Mason89]

If you're after 'mature' posting, might I suggest an alternative than a football message board?

I'm convinced I'm right by the way. I'm not one to tell you I told you so, but when he's sitting in their dugout next season, I'll probably make an exception.

Oh aye, and Morrisey is a better than David Bowie. ( I added the David bit, as some folk could think the whiney one is nae better than Daniel Bowie )

You`re right about A-Hin Mason !!!:zzz:

If the huns were looking for a new manager, they`d expect to get someone to top Brendan. A foreigner like Ranieri or . Or even Sounness back !!!

[Mason89]

This thread has taken a funny turn.

The only satisfaction I can take from it, is the knowledge that Gallus is reading all of it.

I know what your trying to do, trying to soften me up now then befriend me. I know all the tactics. Please leave me alone weirdo.

I'm off to listen to Viva Hate (is that a good album to listen to dad?)

[Mason89]

Vauxhall & I is better. All are better than Bowie.

[neilthedon]

Vauxhall & I is better. All are better than Bowie.


In the interests of fairness , I went out and borrowed a copy of Vauxhall from some weirdo. Gave it a thorough listening to , a couple of times.
It`s pish.

In fact trying to compare Bowie to Morrisey, is too similar to Dundee Utd fans deluding themselves into thinking they are like Barcelona .
I mean for feck sake, thon Manc boy canna even play the saxophone. !!!

[Mason89]

Dancing in the Street. Oh ma sides :D

[neilthedon]

Dancing in the Street. Oh ma sides :D

Hey, it was for CHA-RIT-EE !!!

You could add Laughing Gnome and Little Drummer Boy to that list too if you like , and most of his initial Decca album , when he was trying to be Anthony Newley. With a musical career that stretched over 5 decades , and hugely changing musical styles and tastes ,it`s not surprising there were a few duds. I`m not keen on Tin Machine, or in fact , much after Heroes . And I also think that there is probably at least one dud track on every album.

Fact is , I think we`re probably a generation apart, at least , in terms of which musical FADS we liked when we were growing up. Being a David Bowie fan in 1972 wasn`t a popular choice. Maybe like being a Dons fan in a Dumbarton school . Everybody else at 13yrs old was into Slade and ,er, Mud !!

Class wins out in the end. The Boy David`s music is still a stand out. ( Never sung along to " Heroes" ? ) I doubt very much that Mozza will be remembered for anything within another ten years ?

Each to his own though. I`ll be getting skelped by everyone else on here for wandering away from Danny Ward . It is after all, a football forum.:O

[Donrino]

( I believe he`s a bit of a Bowie fan too )

He'll be in the Hun dugout before the season ends. I'm backing my excellent track record of being right and knowledge of Huns.

Put that in a sticky at the top of the forum.

[neilthedon]

Nah Min. I want real news. .

Europa League Draw means I can start planning for the awaytdays. Gets all the usual Eurosuspects , like GASC involved with his weird and wonderful travel arrangements. All that stuff.

Mind, if the Boys are back in on Monday , we might start to get some new signings in too.?

COYR !!!

[Barnared]

You don't think our manager leaving us to join the Huns is worth talking about? You're a hard man to please :)

OK for boredoms sake I will bite....As he isn't in the hun boardroom at present signing a contract with them, the question you must want to discuss is - do we want this to happen? Is that it?

My answer is no.

I'm pretty sure nobody else will bother to reply yes or no but it would actually be quite interesting at this stage to gauge opinion on here with a yes or no. It would at least give some validation to Mason89s thread.


Here's a bold prediction though Mason89, nobody gives a phuk.

[Gallus79]

What an exciting existence some people lead...

Clearly no job, girlfriend, life etc.

[sonofrgmsdad]

This has me confused. I can't decide if you are trying to wind up fellow Dons fans or hun scum pond life.

O:)

Just because you don't like him, because he's a h^n. I can see you, eyes closed, fists clenched going - 'make it happen McInnes to Rangers.'

Get a f*****g voodoo doll min.

[Mason89]

Wonder why Warburton hasn't signed his contract yet. Maybe the hotel he's staying in doesn't have a fax machine

[TheDeeDon]

F*ck me Mason, you fairly had me going when I read this thread!

[Donanddusted]

I can confirm it's true.....at some point in the season, with his team.

[Barnared]

So I still don't see the "discussion" Mason89.

Is the thread going the way you hoped?

I'll try and help it along again...Anyone else want McInness to leave right now?

[Mason89]

I wasn't really trying to start a discussion. The initial point I made isn't up for debate. He's going, it's a done deal. Where the thread goes after that is anyone's guess. I certainly didn't think I'd have to point out that Morrissey is better than Bowie again. Who knows where the thread will go now? Apart from you Russell, obviously.

What I can say with absolute certainty, is that Gallus will still be reading it. XD

[Barnared]

But he's not cause you said you made it up but you thought it was worth talking about anyway. At least that's what I thought I read.

[Mason89]

It's not based on any facts or inside info. Just my sound judgement & working knowledge of Huns. It might turn out I'm wrong but I think we can all agree that's highly unlikely.

Still winding us up with the Mozzarella thing. not based on any facts or inside info,.....Never ?!!! you don't say !

Yes, It's all become so apparent now,

To be fair, Mozzarella is arguably one of the best dairy products out there.

[Brian Grantland]

Point of order

It should McInnes to THE Rangers

Arran cheese for me, although I'm not sure how it's related to the upcoming treachery from our manager.

Aye, it has been a bit tetchy lately.

Aldo was accused of "sooking up Mason arse" XD

A fine insult, not one I have heard in a long time.

Hey, Verminator, there must be a movie where this "sooking of arses" is pretty commonplace XD

[MalagaSheep]

Ohh no! Who set Mason off on one again!

Not one of your finest moments M89...

It's perfectly feasible that McInnes will end up at Rangers. Hope it's not for a few years though!

Mason is right about McInnes going to the new Rangers but that's not the big announcement.

The big announcement is going to be that Ally McCoist is gonna replace him as our manager XD

I could’ve bumped plenty of others. I’m not enjoying the manner of McInnes going but I do miss the smug posters who told me for 5 years he was Morton fan, deserved god like status because he gave a good interview & made excuses for him signing a rapist

None of them appear to log in anymore, which is a shame :)

Yes you are enjoying it, you're having a fu(kin field day. Your hun/morton baiting shtick has been consistent (and boring) and at the other end of the spectrum there are a few who took the deification of McInnes too far. But I reckon the majority of Dandies think McInnes has been a decent Manager for us and concerned about who we will get and which direction the club is going. The fact he is going to the huns is a sore one but doesn't negate the improvements in the last 5 years. All this conspiracy bullsh!t about 'Traynor playing us like fiddles' etc is just nonsensical ramblings from loudmouth malcontents.

[StandfreeFM]

Is it no just possible that he is s Morton fan but wants to go there because he has a history with them?

I think it's more likely that he is ambitious and thinks his best chance to be successful against Celtic would be with Rangers rather than an Aberdeen team he believes he has taken as far as they will go. I don't agree with him but that would seem to make more sense than him being a 'hun', 'staunch' etc

[So_cal_Dandie]

It does disappoint that so many are taking this personally. I like many other love the club, and see any betrayal as an insult, but what has McInness done?

He is an employee of AFC, not a fan, an employee. He has completed the job assigned to him successfully for 4 1/2 years. Now he may view the opportunity to, as he will see it, take another job which comes with a bigger salary and improved opportunities for success, and want to challenge himself. Maybe he just wants to peek over the fence and see if the grass is greener. Maybe he will get a glimpse behind the curtain and see the horrors awaiting and run back to us with his tail between his legs.

If McInness really does want to go there for personal or professional reasons I will be disappointed and it is difficult to accept him going to the filth, but he has to ensure that he does not screw over a board and fans who have all backed him 100% for the duration of his tenure. If he makes sure that Aberdeen receive everything due to them under the terms of the contract he signed, whilst not wishing him well, for obviously reasons, I could accept his right to make that choice.

If he does go however, rather than wallow in anger over one manager leaving, I would prefer to have hope that it gives another man the chance to come in and improve on the foundations laid by the outgoing management team. I really would love to stuff it down the throats of the the ex hun press whores, who think he has ' than the club as far as it can go'.

Personally I don't see (read) too much anger.

His hypocrisy & lies is fueling most of the frustration.

I'm not convinced he'll be that bothered if AFC receive what they feel they are owed in compensation or not.

Look how he's handled the last week. Best he goes I think.

Yup, that's it. I've been a big McInnes fan all the way and hoped he wouldn't go, but in the last few days I've changed my mind on him and think he'd be better away. He made a big issue about Ryan Jack not being transparent about his intentions last season and he's now guilty of exactly the same thing, but worse. There needs to be a conclusion to this, and the only one I can see is that he leaves. It's virtually impossible for him to remain and carry on as if nothings happened.

You seem intent on rushing to judge him, rather than seeing how it plays out.

You have no evidence of the assumption he will have no interest in ensuring AFC are correctly compensated.

You have no evidence he was lying last week.

Situations like this change by the hour / day. It is entirely possible that during his agents discussions with the circus, that they told him they were unsure of Derek, or that they would not provide assurances he was asking for, or that they they would not pay the release clause, hell they are still trying to not pay it.

Judge the guy when this is done, and your judgement may match up with all your current assumptions, or maybe it won't!

[Aldo1983]

Will we still need a new stadium?

[Pacman1903]

At the end of the day this hasnt just happened since mo day. Hes chucked two games v them deliberatley knowing hes en route. Hes a snake that no snake has came close to and his makey believe "rangers" new employers have made a f@cking c@nt of us as has he.

But aye happy clap away. He should be the most hated man ever in AFC history

[InversneckieDob]

I've never wanted Del out, until the last 5 days or so. He, and the club, have handled this awfully. His rabbit in the headlights, tap dancing on the head of a pin, media performance of late have been in such contrast to his normal media presence it's obvious something big is up. He's either been tapped or his head us scrambled, either way I think his position is now untenable.
I'm not saying for a minute he threw the two Sevco games, but by f u c k we, as a team, were not ready for either game.
This whole affair has been disgusting.
I expect no better from Sevco and their Weegia accolytes, I expect better from McInnes.

[Mason89]

It’ll be part of the deal when he goes. Has to go on STV with an #allforaurora sandwich board

At the end of the day this hasnt just happened since mo day. Hes chucked two games v them deliberatley knowing hes en route. Hes a snake that no snake has came close to and his makey believe "rangers" new employers have made a f@cking c@nt of us as has he.

But aye happy clap away. He should be the most hated man ever in AFC history

The most hated man in the history of AFC should and will eventually be Stewart Milne.

People are already starting to forget he let McInnes take charge of those 2 games I see.

[rico94]

Will we still need a new stadium?

Na there’s no point in the new stadium now.

No one will be willing to go out to west hill to watch a bottom 6 side.

Wish Milne would just clear off the sooner the bloody better for our club. We should be thinking about ways of removing him!

[donsdaft]

Aye, I enjoyed that.

Some Hun B'astard getting trundled out to tell us why he doesn't like Pittodrie.

[EastAnglianRed]

You seem intent on rushing to judge him, rather than seeing how it plays out.

You have no evidence of the assumption he will have no interest in ensuring AFC are correctly compensated.

You have no evidence he was lying last week.

Situations like this change by the hour / day. It is entirely possible that during his agents discussions with the circus, that they told him they were unsure of Derek, or that they would not provide assurances he was asking for, or that they they would not pay the release clause, hell they are still trying to not pay it.

Judge the guy when this is done, and your judgement may match up with all your current assumptions, or maybe it won't!

No rush or assumptions. I think it's quite clear those are simply (my) opinions.

Opinions based on DM taking the last 2 games whilst his head was elsewhere. Having the opportunity several times over the last 4/6 weeks to put this to bed, but choosing not to. Publicly chastising Ryan Jacks lack of professionalism and integrity, whilst doing exactly the same thing himself.

The rest is emotive - His destination isn't the issue. His behaviour is.

I think most from what I read and hear are in a similar position - I doubt many want him hung either.

I see where your coming from, but what would you have expected him to do differently with regards to the 2 matches ? Would you have expected him to resign, because Rangers maybe will get the money together to offer me the job at Ibrox? Take 2 weeks off, because he was not in the correct state of mind ?

The blame for all this lies with the Rangers board. Whatever their reasons, lack of money to pay the release clause, time to see if some 'SuperStar Manager' became available, or even more sinister reasons. Their use of the press to keep the story running for 6 weeks is a disgrace. I expected it of the Sun and Record, even Super Scoreboard weegie radio.

But people at the BBC need to take a look at themselves. They have been used by people in and around Ibrox to spread rumors. I remember when journalists needed a source on the record, not just comments from 4 people in the toilets of a Glasgow bar, to have a story published by the BBC.

I expected him to be honest. The exact same honesty he demanded from others.

Yes, I don't think it's unreasonable that taking some time off would have afforded him some goodwill / respect now.

Regardless of how difficult a decision that is / was, he's paid to look after everyone at the football club, not just himself.

The timing and his play on words is the frustration, not where he is going.

Use of the media is simply emotive. The driver is DM himself.

Some of the sh*te being posted is embarrassing coming from grown men.

I’m fairly resigned to McInnes leaving and agree that things have been a bit out of sorts recently (whether that’s due to the speculation or simply a dip in form...who knows) but some of the names being bandied about by those who want McInnes gone...f*ck me!

Of course if a new manager comes in and struggles it will be because McInnes “left him with sh*te”.

[Mason89]

Of course if a new manager comes in and struggles it will be because McInnes “left him with sh*te”.

That works both ways. Of course if he struggles it will be ‘we shouldn’t have let McInnes go’

[ragnarok]

And yet we’re joint 2nd at present. If McInnes is making as much of an arse of things as some are making out, our fantastic new manager that we’re bringing in to “push us to the next level” ought to have no problem meeting the paltry standards of his inept h*n loving predecessor.

We are second top and bottled all our big games. Maybe new manager winna sh@t the bed in big games. Theres an improvement

[ragnarok]

Maybe he will maybe he won’t. I’m just keen to hear the excuses if he doesn’t solve all of the perceived ills of his predecessor.

Nice try. I’ll leave that kind of thing to folk like you.

If the new manager comes in and “takes us to the next level” obviously I’ll be delighted. But I’m a realist. That we’ve had the opportunity to dissect the current manager’s failings and limitations over 4 1/2 years doesn’t mean we can fix those failings with a new appointment. All managers have strengths and weaknesses. But if we strike gold with someone like Jack Ross then that would be fantastic.

My comments are more aimed at those who’ve been saying that McInnes’ time is up this season (or longer in some cases...). What are the expectations for the new manager and how much leeway do we give him if he fails to match the standards of us predecessor?

[Mason89]

We’re not going to have a conversation about expectation levels are we?

Well i certainly would not have expected Willie Miller to come out with this one tonight "He is now in a situation where there is a bigger club - and Rangers are a big club, even though things haven't been going particularly well in recent years, they do have the potential to be great again"

Why not? McInnes isn’t up to much. With our new manager the sky’s the limit surely?

For someone who has lived and breathed for the end of this dark age for the past 4 1/2 years you seem less enthused than I thought you would at the prospect of the glorious new era to come.

[Mason89]

Fair enough.

I expect a manager to make the most of what he’s left with, focus on youth development, defend corners properly & not to sh1t a brick in Glasgow.

As a club, I expect us to do much better with the things that are within our control.

I would expect a well run Aberdeen to be the main beneficiaries of anything not won by the scum.

Is that too much?

Seems likely we’ll find out soon enough.

Like I said before, it’s easy to focus on failing when we’ve had 4 1/2 years of fairly consistent performance from the team on the pitch. If you’re looking for something different the current management team isn’t likely to deliver that.

On the youth thing, that has been a disappointment but it’s not as though we’ve had any prospects who didn’t break through and went on to better things elsewhere.

Like anything in life, I can take failure, but I cannot take dishonesty. If our new manager comes in, tries his best and sometimes gets top 6, it’s far better than some cvnt taking the pi$$ out of AFC (everyone in football knows he was tapped up 3/4 weeks ago).

Honesty is everything.

Expectations - a bit of fight in big games, crosses put in for the strikers

Leeway - two transfer windows, same as you give any manager anywhere

[afc_1983]

There are a lot of questions that need answered if this goes through. The most pertinent ones are:

1. When did Derek McInnes first get asked, whether directly by an RFC official or indirectly through a third party, whether he would take the job at the ******* Garden?

If it was prior to one or both of our recent fixtures against them then I would think there are strong grounds for a league inquiry into the integrity of the manager and the pursuing club. If it was prior to permission being granted for talks by AFC then there are strong grounds for a fine for RFC for 'tapping up'.

2. What level of compensation will AFC receive from RFC and will it be paid in a oner?

Hell mend those in charge if they sell the club and fans short.


Frankly, any Dons employee who allows rumours of a possible move to Rangers to fester should be sacked. McInnes' statement before the Killie game was too late, and it now looks like it was disingenuous too. He's actually been hung out to dry by Rangers in their handling of the situation, but because he has not called them out on it and distanced himself from the move, he's now made his current position with AFC pretty much untenable. He now has to accept the job, despite it being a complete clusterf-ck.

Nobody is bigger than the club. The next appointment is ***** and it is equally important that they are given financial backing to change the team. We need to get back to basics with more simplified and attacking tactics on the pitch that play to our strengths and not worry about the opposition. The new manager must be positive in this respect. If he is the fans will back him. Over to the Board...

Yes kids, let this whole sorry saga be a lesson to you about the dangers of fake news and aggressively driven groupthink ...

Digest the facts and make up your own mind. Personally, my position has always been that he would be more inclined to stay put. For those who wish to try and understand that I'd direct you to Bryan Cooney's book "Stand by your Reds". Cooney pens chapters 21 and 22 based on interviews with Stewart Milne and Derek McInnes. These words are FACTS, not opinions. Those chapters neatly describe the relationship they have built up. When Milne gave his interview a couple of weeks ago stating that McInnes had no intention of leaving I believed him - armed with the knowledge gleaned from Cooney's book.

It would be extremely churlish of me to say "Telt ye" because of the dynamic of this whole mess. I will confess to having been worn down at lunch time today when I saw that Sheerin had done the Dundee match presser. I became resigned to him going. I even barked to a hun at work "You're welcome to him".

McInnes and Docherty stay. However, I'd like to see an apology from them for what they directly or indirectly (whichever way you wish to see it) put the Club and Fans through.

Thing is, when you look at everything that's been said and done, AFC haven't really done anything wrong. Sure DM was tempted, and, rightly (I believe), we gave him time to think it through, but, the bottom line is he's come to the sensible decision we all hoped he would. If anything, there are quite a few Dons fans due DM an apology for some quite personal and disgusting insults, without knowing half of what was going on. Plenty of conclusions have been reached over the past week or so by our own fans, without anyone really knowing anything for sure, and yet choosing to believe the very people they were criticising for attempting destabilise our club.

Agree wholeheartedly. Doesn’t make me a McInnes happy clapper. Think he has a lot of hard work to do this season.
