Time to calm down. All the bile being directed at Milne re his handling of the matter has proven unjustified. Those calling out Aberdeen on requiring the full facts need to get a life. It's not the Chillcot Inquiry we are talking about here.
We just need to accept that the manager was not ruling himself out of considering the Hun managers job. Any sane person would understand his reasons for this. He was clearly angry about the length of time it has taken for them to make an official approach. This has undoubtedly unsettled him and the team in the interim.
An approach was made on Tuesday and having considered his position he has elected to stay. End of.
He does really need to get his finger out now and get the team sorted out now and has my full backing on this.
Also , he has surely burned his bridges with the Huns ad perpetuam
Yes. Like a lot of Aberdeen fans I loathe and despise Rangers and everything they stand for. If the world was the way I wanted it to be, no Aberdeen manager would take more than a microsecond to dismiss a job offer from them.
That's not the world we live in though. McInnes was brought up in the Central Belt as a Rangers fan. We knew that when we appointed him. Despite the horrendous situation at Mordor, the gig is still seen by most in Scottish football as way more attractive than the Aberdeen job.
Which of our recent managers would have turned it down? Calderwood? Broon? They really WOULD have crawled over broken glass. (McGhee is a special case, obviously, but I suspect he wouldn't have hesitated for long before he grabbed a job that was more commensurate with his ego either).
OK, Fergie famously turned it down but that was in a different world. He was on more money here than the guy he succeeded at ManYoo.
Deek, I would guess, was seriously torn. He looks like a guy who's gone through a world of stress. In my ideal world, this wouldn't have happened because no decent human being would want the Hun gig. But as I said, that's not the real one. How hard and how often do some people want to kick a guy for taking longer than we would ideally like to turn down a job offer his immediate predecessors would have snatched at without a second's thought?
I never read anywhere that McInnes spoke to der Hun. I don't believe he did.
