Derek McInnes

4 years seems to tie in with the stadium plans.

If it's true I wonder how the negotiations go.

SM - 'Can we convince you to resign Derek?'

DM - 'Can you guarantee I'll have funds for squad development so we can be a bit more competitive?'

SM - 'No but we'll bump your salary up again'

DM - 'Pass the pen'

Ridiculous length of contract to give him, if true.

That’s FIVE more years potentially?

He is under zero pressure.
And this year it shows.

That’s what I have been saying all along,Milne wants McInnes to be the manager when we move to the new stadium.

This year will see our poorest return in the league under Derek.
It’s not been the best to watch I agree.
We’ve been unfortunate this year with injuries and players not playing as expected / hoped for.
I’m optimistic that next year can’t be as bad as this year, so let’s see what next season brings.

If it is as bad as this year, what then? A four year deal would leave no room for the club to manoeuvre. It’s a mental position to be in. Fergie wasnt signing 4 year deals at Man Utd ffs

Stepping into your world for a moment, what if he went on to have his best year, wins the Scottish cup and takes the league to the final game of the season? Tieing him up could net us a fortune

[Mason89]

What would you say is the likelier of the two scenarios?

Realism is not your usual position.
I’d love to stay and chat, but the A90 beckons.

COME ON YOU REDS!

As things stand at the moment though , a similar season to this one seems a lot more likely.

Maybe the new 4 year deal includes some sort of performance related clause eg contract can be terminated by AFC if we fail to finish in the top 6
