i'll take it from that that you're backtracking on your original lofty comment which i quoted, then, from which i'm assuming that "you could" means that you couldn't?

As long as we know.

Positive football will put more bums on seats....cowardly football which consists of defending for your life and long punts to get the ball in the opposition half will have a complete negative effect on our whole football outlook. Aberdeen FC are boring as f’uck to watch and that is an absolute embarrassment. I know we aren’t going to be the best footballing side in the world but at least we could try and score goals before any negative eye bleeding approach to matches.

I totally agree with what you're saying regarding the standard and style of fitba this season,it has been brutal on the eye but you still havent answered 57's question...

Well, if you break it down, you could take each season and put forward an argument that he has either delivered as per the budgets being spent or has over achieved.
Even this year, his poorest year, we have the third biggest budget and were on course to achieve 3rd place.
Not one season has he underachieved in terms of budget and final placings.

There are plenty of managers in this league that have underachieved and I accept you have to say that despite being McInnes's bitch , Clarke has over achieved with Kilmarnock.

Lennon underachieved at Hibs
Levein under achieves at Hearts
Tommy Wright, you have to say overall, he has over-achieved, possibly still is with their current position as 7th.
Brian Rice is too early to tell. He achieved an early new manager bounce, but seem to be settling down to normailty and with a trip away to St Mirren to come, they could end up in the play-off spot.

I’m talking about the money we spend on the dullard, not the money he spends on the team

What's he on and how much could we save?

[Mason89]

The answer to both questions is ‘lots’

Not at all. Anyone could have us playing a better style of football than we are currently playing....it’s p!sh the way we play and only a clappie would think otherwise. The Anchor Man is done, his ship has sunk. Time we started trying to seriously win trophies instead of going through the motions. First thing the new manager needs to do is ditch the negative approach.

I think it's more accurate to say "I don't know"

The style of football appears to be damn boring. Yet, we'll finish with near enough the same points as we did in his first season against much weaker opposition. We made it to the same cup final but played Celtic, and made it to the same semi final of the other and lost to Celtic instead of St Johnstone. We'll finish behind Rangers instead of Motherwell.

People fondly remember the first season and think of the football as better. We've barely went backwards compared to then.

I think many just love bathing in depression now and have lost all perspective.

The first season was good compared to what came before because we won the league cup. We also ****ed up the best chance of winning the Scottish cup we have had for years, ****ed up finishing 2nd and the football wasn't great...seeing games out 1-0.

You can look at it that it's his first season and most managers tend to steady the ship and play cautious football. That's fair enough.

Few years on and we've not really progressed any, certainly not this season.

If anything, those that are happy are in many ways, bathing in depression.

We are in a situation again where he's trying to steady the ship and be overly cautious. No confidence anymore. Teams for a while were scared to play us. We've lost that spark.

Not at all. I think most fans have given up caring now and will put up with any old sh!t from McInnes and Milne. The stuffing has been well and truly knocked right of them. Expect more of the same or worse next season because one thing is a certainty and that is we ain’t going to get better with the way we currently do things.
