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.
