Sort this the f u c k out!

If McInnes ends up going it's really quite an unbelievable sequence of events - that makes Ryan Jack's actions at the end of last season look tame. Either way, our season's screwed and McInnes has lost the support of the fans and quite possibly some of the dressing room.

I get that we're all looking for someone to blame (if this does all go ahead as seems increasingly likely), but I'm struggling to see how this is all Stewart Milne's fault... he's got McInnes signed up on an extended contract, with a release clause which ensures we get decent money if he does depart. If he's approached now, he will go because he will know that he's no longer wanted at Pittodrie.

The last few years we've had it pretty good - our expectations have been raised, back to the level they should be for a club of our size and history. McInnes has had a big part to play in that (whatever we think of him now) and Milne has to take a little credit for bringing him in and backing him to an extent over those years. He needs to get the next appointment right though, as it's a really crucial time for AFC. The problem is even the fans on this forum can't pick out an outstanding candidate for the job, so Milne and co will have a very difficult task.

We need to get behind the club if / when McInnes goes - otherwise we're just shooting ourselves in the foot and playing right into the hands of the media and the OF.

Milne should have given Sevco and McInnes a deadline before the first game last week to sort this out one way or another. Now it is just a f@cking shambles.

Agree with everything you have just said

I'm sorry how exactly would he have been able to do that ?

Earlier this year, the maintenance costs were quoted by AFC as £700k p.a.

That doesn't seem an unreasonable amount for a professional football pitch, 20k capacity stadium as well as the offices and several busy function spaces.

Perhaps it's been forgotten that a new (bigger and more complex) stadium with associated training complex will also need a maintenance budget.

If McInnes has told Milne he wants to join the Huns after initially saying he was staying,he should have put him on gardening leave instead of embarrassing the club by letting him take charge against the team he is about to join.As well as making Milne look stupid by doing that interview to say he isn’t going anywhere.

Don’t give me this pysh about “there’s nothing Stewarty could do”

He should have sacked Patterson for being too hungover to make the Dundee game instead of letting him manage us until the end of the season.

He should have sacked McGhee for getting humped 9-0 and saying “it’s only 3 points”,instead of humming and haying and letting him take charge for another 2 defeats.

He is a poor excuse for a chairman,I don’t think there are any other chairmen out there who would do anything other than sack the manager on the spot for the 3 examples above.

Statement from AFC right now. Sevco have approached AFC asking to speak to McInnes. This approach had been rejected.

So does McHunnes greet about it

So, is Milne meant to sack McInnes? In which case he has to pay McInnes off, rather than getting £1m for him... that would be stupid. Rangers have obviously tried their luck with a lower bid - Milne is holding off for the full money which is fair enough.

Or is Milne fairly told them to bolt? Now its over to McInnes. Does he resign and walk away from the club? demand a move?
