Calling actually normal sane supporters happy clappers ✅

Guardians of aspiration ✅

The club should be ambitious ✅ and sack McInnes for getting to cup finals and losing to £102m turnover Celtic like any ambitious £15m turnover club. Real winners ken

Any more entries for AFC depression bingo?

Calling actually normal sane supporters pant pishers ✅

Guardians of mediocrity ✅

The pant pishers should be realistic ✅ and keep McInnes for continuing with the same faults throughout his time at the club. We're lucky to have him, you know

Mason and Donanddusted....hats off to your responses to our clappy friend, you both have upped the tempo a bit

The thing is though the pant pishers are more delusional in thinking that sacking McInnes will all of a sudden turn us into this brilliant to watch team that challenges the cheeks and wins cups on a regular basis.

Why anyone thinks a manager is going to come in and do all that after 1 trophy and dire football in the last 20 odd years is bizarre.

Still,feel free to keep moaning about McInnes on a forum,it’s made a difference for the last 5 years

[Mason89]

I’m not sure anyone thinks that.

To me the football is secondary at the moment anyway. The changes are needed off the field first. Easy to do & cost next to nothing. Getting rid of the hun dunce would just be a bonus

[rico94]

I’m pretty sure a lot of people think that.

There’s plenty of posts of people saying we need to get rid of McInnes because the football is boring and we need to move on to the next level.

I’ve got no problem in getting rid of McInnes but I’m realistic enough to know it won’t take us to the next level and the football will still be boring to watch.

I think Rico, what 99% of people are saying (me certainly) like you suggest in your last paragraph is that DM has done a good job but has taken us as far as he can.

If we have ambition to go further, we need a new manager in the Clarke mould who can make the best of limited resources. DM has done that as far as he’s capable but he’s hit the proverbial glass ceiling.

Yes, it might go tits up & leave us worse off, but I’m happy to take the punt & give it a try cause I’m bored rigid.

The big elephant in the room issue is of course that the Alford neep chooses the next guy & that gives me the fear same as any other sane dandy...

Not really, I would be happy to have Clarke as our manager but I don’t think he will take us any further as you put it.

It’s not just McInnes who has hit a glass ceiling it’s us as a club and the only way we are going to get any better is with major investment in the squad.

The way things are going with the club focusing on the new stadium we will only get worse,you could argue that Clarke would be better suited to us if our budget is going to decrease but he is never going to take us further than McInnes has.

Bang on as always Moog.

Only way we are going to get better is by changing out the chairman, not the manager (and I am certainly not a fan of McInnes).

Changing both is what we really need. But I will make do with one at a time for the moment because both of them make the club boring as f’uck and that needs to change to move forward.

Agreed.
Thing is, changing Milne might then see a change in the way we operate, so would be willing to try a tiny bit longer with McInnes if Milne moved out.
Ideally though, I would also change both in one swoop.
