Rangers Then, Sevco Now, Scotland's Shame Forever....

I cannot believe that some folk think getting rid of McInnes would be a positive step.

Its not just about McInnes the manager, its a combination of him as a person, the success and the subsequent benefits of that, his attention to detail behind the scenes and the winning mentality and a real sense of purpose in all departments at the football club he has developed.

Its perhaps by accident that McInnes came at a time when Rangers and their successors were weak, but its the responsibility of Aberdeen Football Club to ensure that it can have no part in their revival because there is more at stake here. Lose him and appoint another dud and there is more to loose than league positions.

Ticket sales are up, sales in the shop are astronomical compared to a few years ago, kids are back at todders in huge numbers, community engagement (which remember costs money) is up and the most important of all the support for the blue filth is at an all time low in the North East. No kids or their gullible parents buying their merchandise as its back to the old thing of no one wanting to be associated with failure.

Give that filthy corrupt organisation the chance to flourish and it could have amazingly disastrous consequences.

Its refreshing that my second son is growing up in a more or less hun free environment at school. Roll back a few years and it wasn't the case. With even more choices for kids these days a potentially strong filth would be a disaster for the potential future generations of potential dandies.

Its a pivotal moment in Scottish football and given everything that's happened in the last few years hand back momentum to that nest of vipers and we might as well all pack up and head to Spain Park of a Saturday.

If he turned them down now, he might feel it's his once chance to manage them as they might not go back to him if he knocks them back

It seems like he turned them down 6 months ago. He can turn them down now if he wants. He'll probably have the opportunity again in 6 months when the next unfortunate gets his jotters.

Now's not the time for any half-decent manager to take that job. They've a dodgy crook in charge, and are miles behind celtic in terms of players and money.
Not saying McInness won't take the job in the future, but he'll probably wait until sevco are in better shape

He won’t get offered if they’re in a better shape

Indeed, I've lost count of the number of players that have publicly backed McInnes and the reason for them joining / extending etc.
He will move on at some point I have no doubt, but when he does, it will be a hard thing to replace his man management skills.

Looks like Pedro came to the "end of his cycle" before the Aberdeen team did ... that was one of his random proclamations lapped up by the West Coast Scottish Media.

I have read a lot of folk on here and other sites saying he has taken us as far as he can and we need to bring in someone who will improve us.

He has maybe taken us as far as he can but nobody we can afford is going to come in and do any better.If we are lucky we might get someone who can carry on what he has done but it is more likely we wont be as good when he leaves.

F**K that

Not sure if you noticed that Plymouth are bottom of League 1 and 5 points adrift of safety.

It wont be Derek Adams who replaces McInnes when he leaves, Adams has found his level which is League 2 in England.

Hes as much of a safe bet as Mixu Paatelainen or Ray McKinnon would be.

Unless your an advanced occultist , what do you base this assertion upon.
Really just negative speculation , isn't it.

Last season we were second to Celtic in all three competitions.
Theyr'e likely to have a clean sweep again this year.

Who do you think we can realistically manage to bring in that will get us better than second?

I hope Pedro got his contract paid up in full in advance of walking away.
I think the ex-Sevco boss should now be known as Pedro "Cash-in-hand".

Or maybe he'll get the nickname "o jardineiro".
