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

As I said, it wouldn’t surprise me.
Half my mind is thinking ahead to who I’d want (or more importantly, who the Alford need would want as replacement).
And also, if DM did go, would he try and take Shinnie/Lewis/McLean with him?
The Huns would find the money.
The next week or two will tell all I suppose.

Why would he? He would fail with the 3 mentioned. Far higher level of player needed.

Well there would be more money to spend no doubt.

But there's a huge gap in price but not in talent between a £500,000 player and a £5,000,000 player.

The extra £100,000 needed to buy a Louis Moult would be there and I'm sure McInnes would quickly build a team better that we have at Pittodrie now.

How long would that please the hoards do you think?

His arm would be twisted to pay more, then more again.

They need to be seen to be paying more.

2 years later he's sacked because they are baying for blood at being second.
McInnes is okay at managing at a domestic level but we need to take the next step etc. etc.

Give it a miss Derek min, it's only trouble even if you succeed.

Personally think they will install Graeme Murty full time.

I don't kid myself that if the h*ns weren't a shambles, McInnes wouldn't be there in a shot. But is it really a more attractive prospect than the Sunderland job? Based on the experience of the last two managers, that's highly doubtful. Sunderland would have been a risk but one that could have paid off handsomely. Going to manage the h*ns doesn't really have a big upside (unless he intrinsically wants to manage them). It's a bit like the Scotland job really. It has a bit of residual prestige but in reality it's a sh*t sandwich. It will only appeal to those who have no other options.

It seemed more likely that he would go there after Warburton got the sack.

I was speaking about this last night. This has McLeish or Davies all over it because they have no other options and im pretty sure sevco dont have the option to to buy out a manager as im sure paying off Pedros remaining 29 months will nae be cheap.

I also believe that McInnes wouldnt go near it as hes a smart man(bar when playing celtic). They are a shambles at board level, they have sh@te players on long contracts, theres a director of fitba, their fans are deluded spazmos who will be on him after any slip ups. He winna want any of that

[stansmith]

Our fans are kidding themselves.

Rangers are definitely going to ask to speak to him, they have rich investors, and then whatever happens happens.

He would have resources and player pull he won't get anywhere else except the EPL.

They have the training facilities he craves and he can buy whoever he wants.

Goodbye Derek McInnes.

This is the point for me that kinda makes me less worried.

The fact he turned down the Sunderland job in the summer tells me either he is happy and is waiting for the right move or, he knew Pedro's time would be up and he is waiting for the hun gig. Although I doubt he would go there now with the cluster**** it is.

Murty will be put in temp charge until xmas/summer. McInnes will wait to see what happens with our stadium plans. If the stadium and training plans are thrown out he'll be off next summer. 100%. If not earlier.
