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

Check it if McInnes goes, let's just hire a shuttle bus as manager. Wig Chops and Yule log seem to think they are the salvation to all, so why not?? We could then, quite literally, Park the Bus.

Me bad and drunk...a......amsjmq.m

If McInnes didn't want to manage rangers right now he'd have said so.

If he does go to the Huns I wish he would do us a favour and sign Considine,that would be the best parting gift he could give us.

I’m pretty sure wiggy won’t bother his erse with the new stadium and training ground now,he was only doing it to keep McInnes happy right?

This post has made the most sense so far.

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.

I like this post. It's how I see the situation. I don't know if DM is going or not (none of us do) but no one can deny that the club is in a much better place than about 5 years ago. A lot has changed on the field and off it since he was appointed manager. The latest adventure in Europa was a downer but the Europa runs before that can hardly be classed as a disappointment imo.

We need to remember we are 10 games in and only 3 points behind the league leaders. We really are a collective bunch of depressing sods up here in the NE.

He's already turned them down already, or was that Sunderland as well?

I think he’ll be off given the chance and I’ll be gutted. There’s always a chance we’ll get someone as good or better but it’s a minute chance. He’s been the best manager we’ve had in a generation. Ok, with competition like McGhee, Calderwood and Paterson, it’s not hard. Of course, he has his faults. He’ll make them stronger, there’s no doubt about that. Maybe I’m being negative but the guy has strong links to that team and I think if offered he’d find it difficult to knock back.

I've never heard of Graeme Potter if I'm honest. But fair play for the amazin g research.

I imagine this is the sort of uber-smartarsery that went on at sevco when they thought they'd appoint a "genius" that no-one had ever heard of, or indeed timothy before that when they appointed deliliah.

I'll leave my reply there as far as that goes.

I think Dek made it clear today he's going naewye

Totally agree, WatsonNimrod. The huns need to be kept away from North East kids.
Unfortunately, McInnes, or any manager, cannot take AFC any further as long as Wiggy holds the purse strings.

I agree - don't know how you answer that question without causing more hassle for yourself.... "nah, not interested in them" equals headline "McInnes too good for the Gers" or some such. Cue much abuse.. so "Happy where I am" is safe. if he was angling for it - there would have been a bit more "there are always challenges elsewhere" type of comment
