    We will also never kick on with the less than average standard of player that he continues to recruit, OK! yes there is the odd exception to that statement but fk me law of averages and all that.

    Time for massive changes at our club, or have the amount of punters that are happy with "just not being sh1te anymore" won the day and that's us capped out, poor poor fkn doings if that is the case.

    Milne and McInnes have brainwashed far too many Aberdeen punters into believing we are lucky with what we have. A lot of people are not for changing so fully expect more of the same for a good while yet. It’s the Aberdeen way.

    You could consider it a fear of change, but who would you recommend to make the changes you expect?

    If we want real change at Aberdeen we need to get Milne out the door also. We need someone at the top of the club with ambition to succeed on the park. McInnes himself doesn’t have it in him to improve on where we are. We are stuck with this duo so expect more of the same. The fear of change has gripped the Aberdeen public. Who would have thought that not that long ago?

    Well dodged, but irrespective of the chairmans position, which manager do you want to succeed McInnes?

    Steve Clarke would certainly not be a backward step and is doing a remarkable job at Kilmarnock with a very little budget. Neil Lennon wouldn’t lie down to Celtic when up against them so I would certainly take him as stated previously. I don’t particularly like him but believe he is no coward against Celtic and Sevco so that itself would be a plus. There is plenty managers out there....we need someone who fears no one. Don’t expect Milne to pick someone different very soon as he is happy we just played Celtic never mind the thought of actually having a real go at them.

    Already covered Lennon above.
    Steve Clarke is a decent shout, but is it realistic?
    He certainly has Kilmarnock punching above their weight, but he has an affinity at Kilmarnock, he would not have at Aberdeen.could he be enticed up north from Killie? I’m not convinced.
    Who else is there from the “plenty of managers out there” category.

    So we sacrifice consistency and finishing second to a team with a budget about 30 times ours so you can have a go at Celtic.

    You really are an utter bawbag.

    For manager I would not be against Neil Lennon, yes his hibs team are a wee bit hot and cold this season, like many other teams are, but there is one thing for sure and that is he himself is a fighter and not a bottler and just might be worth ago.
    McInnes has done decent for us we cant deny that, as it was dark dark times indeed that he took over from.
    I dont have a dislike for the man, infact quite the opposite, but everybody has their limitations and DM has capped out at his and does not have what it takes to kick this club on to the next level.
    In many ways I compare McInnes's tenure to that of Jimmy Calderwood, Jimmy came in amidst very dark times and steadied the ship and made us "not sh1te anymore" he did not have what it takes to kick us on so we rightly decided it was time to move on.
    Unfortunately the managers that have been tried since calderwood took us right back to where we started when JC came in the door.
    Then in comes McInnes and he also like calderwood steadies the ship and makes us "not sh1te anymore" But he also does not have what it takes to kick us on so it's time for him to go. I don't dislike them man, i just want our club to have the balls and the desire to kick on and find that next level.
    Despite all their millions timothy were there to be beaten last night and have been on a number of occasions over the years and us with DM at the helm are simply not ready nor capable to take advantage of it.

    Is it Neil Lennon? i dont really but that would be my suggestion.

    Whilst I agree that Jimmy made us "not ****e anymore" to be honest he didn't do much more than that. We barely scraped into the top 6 for quite a few years with Jimmy, finishing behind Motherwell, ICT, Kilmarnock, Hibs, Hearts and also suffered the embarrassment of defeats to Queens Park and QOS in the cups. We also had his love of Rangers players, Big Lee, wee Barry and FFS, even wee Naisy. With McInnes we've been much, much better that just "not ****e anymore" as our league positions in the past 5 seasons have shown. McInnes has also got us to 4 finals, winning one. Yes, his record versus Celtic is poor,but he he has done much more than make us "not ****e any more".
