Were you at the Kairat and Maribor home legs when we didn't attack them enough ?
Were you at the semi-finals against St Johnstone and the jutes when he was unable to change tactics when we were getting outplayed late on ?

Those semi finals were horrific.

I love all the Fergies on the board coming on and telling us now tactically naive McInnes is. Does nobody remember how rank we were before he took over? Do these tactical experts have any explanation how McInnes and his tactical ineptitude have been able to win so many games?
Christ we have a decent manager for tne first time in decades and folk seem to be happy for him to go to the hun. Unbelievable!

It’s mainly because the league got much weaker.

I have an explanation:
When players play for you. You're 90% home & dry. Come up against decent teams or ones with astute manager's & you're goosed if you have not that extra 10%.
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.)
IMO

McInnes has done a good job here but its wrong to suggest that somehow he's reached a glass ceiling or he is irreplaceable. Having a bigger budget due to us being debt free for the last 3 years has definitely helped him.
It proves just how bad our previous managers were when simple things McInnes has introduced like improving our scouting system and bringing in Graham Kirk have helped so much. Remember how much hamstring injuries we used to have under Craig Brown ?

I get the feeling once McInnes goes the guys that don’t rate him will look back and realise that he was actually quite good.A bit like the guys who pissed and moaned about McGinn and are now going on about how much they miss him.
Apart from mason of course who said from day one he simply didn’t like him.

I’ve never been his biggest fan, but I do appreciate where we are now, from where we were before him. Was it 9th three years in a row?
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 ?

Apart from Paul Mason, who did Mason ever like?

Well the league is "stronger" now and McInnes is still giving us a winning team despite losing his two most creative players and other 1st team starters from last season. I dont think it is impossible that we couldn't get a better replacement when McInnes leaves just highly unlikely. If he goes to the hun, I have no doubt they will all of a sudden start to be a better team. F. knows who we will get but it's highly unlikely he'll get the same results as McInnes
