Derek McInnes

[RedStarTorphins]

I just can’t see Milne getting rid of him anytime soon even if we get beat on Tuesday.

It’s been 4 months since he convinced him to stay and declared himself “the happiest man in the world “ and less than a year since he gave him a new contract.

If anything Milne will realise he will look like a complete fool if he has to pay off McInnes after talking him in to staying twice and giving him a new deal.

I agree.
The only way DM will leave will be when HE wants.
ie - the very unlikely event of another club in England coming in for him.
If it happened then definitely time to go,
I just get the impression (just guesswork) that DM is in a comfort zone and under no pressure whatsoever.

RST has nailed it with both his posts today.

No matter what people on here wish for Milne will absolutely not sack McInnes and unfortunately the way we are trending there is next to no chance of any sort of team in England that McInnes will fancy coming in for him. McInnes will be on good money here until 2020 so why would he walk away from that for some no name English Division 1 team ( the best that I think would be interested in him currently), especially given the average shelf life of a manager in England is something like nine months?

Also for those blaming Milne for not letting him go to Rangers, you are kidding yourselves. If McInnes had wanted to go to Rangers you wouldn't have seen him for dust regardless of what Milne said or did.

He took a week off his work to chat to his employers biggest rivals, the same week we were playing them twice. Milne could’ve & shouldve made his mind up for him. He’s a spineless catastrophe of a human being though

I completely agree he is spineless and the sooner we have someone else the better.

I'm just not sure how he could have made McInnes mind up for him if we are keeping it real. No way was he going to sack McInnes for wanting to speak to sevco, which would have cost us £1Million or whatever when at that time there was the prospect of receiving £1 Million if he had gone as most people expected would happen (debateable if they would have paid the £1Million I know). Also no way was he going to persuade McInnes to go if he didn't want to as McInnes is a stubborn so and so and is only interested in what is good for himself.

I seen a stat before the game at Ibrox today that since Murty has been in charge of them that he is top of the leaderboard of managers gathering points. McInnes is 5th!
This point was just to highlight our downward spiral and it should be alarming even to the happy clappers.
All this nonsense about we cannot afford to get rid of McInnes....yes we can. We are debt free and were willing to stump up good money for Christie from Celtic. I suggest we get a decent manager first before we try and give the likes of Celtic more cash.

We aren’t going to be debt free for much longer,we might have to sack him but you are kidding yourself if you think we will be able to bring in a decent manager and give him sufficient funds for players with this stadium looming over us.

We could certainly handle giving Kilmarnock funds for Stevie Clarke. The new stadium will be a manageable debt I would imagine (hope). Letting a manager continue just for the sake of it just stinks of a club accepting failure.

I would say Clarke would be a good shout,I can’t see us paying off McInnes then paying compensation for Clarke and then give him sufficient funds to strengthen the squad.

The thing is as well is Milne isn’t looking for someone to come in and challenge the cheeks,he is happy if we are challenging for the European spots and a run in the cups if we are lucky which technically is what McInnes is doing.

He doesn’t have the same ambition as the fans do and I think if the fans start becoming vocal about the situation he will tell us to wise up and tell us McInnes is doing a fine job.

I did see that stat but I think the reality is that we have been on a downward spiral for the whole season and not just since Murty was appointed (and hence when the McInnes saga with sevco ended). Whilst we had a decent points total at that point the reality is that we were not playing well and were lucky in a number of games that we won. The chickens are coming home to roost in what has been three diabolically bad transfer windows in a row - we simply don't have the quality of players to compete with the better teams as has been proven time and again this season - yes we could do a bit better with better team selections and formation/tactics but ultimately we don't have enough good players

Sorry about taking so long to call you out on this tripe. Are you for real ???

Why are you so surprised that Murty has taken so many points? The Huns have spent a barrelload on players this season and have brought in around six highly paid players since Christmas who would walk into our team.

I'm unhappy with all the chopping and changing and lack of a cutting edge.

However, on balance McInnes does not deserve the sack.

Of course we can't afford to waste that that sort of money with no guarantee of a successor doing any better when it would be far better spent on player recruitment.

We have no divine right to finish above Hibs in third although I think we still will. I also very much doubt if Messrs McGinn and McGeoch will be strutting their stuff in green and white next season and Hibs will be seriously weakened as a result.

I hope player recruitment is better this Summer although if I had been asked whether bringing in May, Arnason, Stewart, Christie ,GMS and McGinn would improve the team I would have said it was no brainer at the time.
