He has been unfortunate in having the strongest Celtic side possibly ever, on the flip side though, Huns, Joots, HIV’s and mini-Huns hsve collectively been at their worst for many many a year. The return of one league cup in his tenure is poor. Fans (unless you’re a Joot) don’t get excited being runners up and the odd 4 or 6 games in Europe. Fans of AFC get excited about winning trophies.

My worst fear of McInnes leaving is he may take Sevco to a position of strength from their current laughing stock.

The last time we got the runners-up treble, we lost our manager and got in some young kid from St. Mirren as I remember, deja vu ?

If you look at our history one trophy in 4 years is pretty successful!
I think given the circumstances we could have won more but hey ho we haven't. I don't think that is a reason to be saying McInnes has been a failure as he is one of the few managers to get us a trophy.
The last manager to be runners up in everything was God and his departure signalled(apart from one league cup) 20 years of overspending and complete misery.

McInnes dunt have that x =10% ,namely tactics.

Look back on our previous managers they all ' lost the dressing room' didn't they.

The Fergie ppl you mention , me included, remember how games are changed by clever tactics, something we've never seen from McInnes. (unless you hark back to gronnigen perhaps, someone mentioned. Christ how long ago was that.:P)

IMO

We all have our own opinions and I accept that is yours. However I think you are just way off the mark. If he has no clever tactics, how has he won so many games? How have all these other managers not been able to get the better of him consistently? Is it just possible that he is a good manager who if he hadn't been up against a team with ten times+ our budget and with a bit of luck night have won more.

Bit of luck? Was it bad luck that lost those semis? Was it bad luck he put a team of right backs out at Easter Rd?

It was bad luck he had that cnut McLean as a ref against the pjms. You could say it was bad luck Stevie May had a storming 45 minutes or we hadnt scored more in the first half, but I think we both know I'm on a loser trying to discuss the merits of McInness with you

That’s very true :)

Good post min,McInnes is by no means a brilliant manager as Wednesday showed but love him or hate him he is going to go down as one of our best managers.
