Derek McInnes

Jenny Scrogie fae Woodend definitely likes him more than the club. There's hundreds if not thousands more like her. Just because people can't or don't want to name actual names doesn't make it any less true.

He's snake charmed a sizeable chunk of our fanbase. Remarkable achievement. Luckily he's not my type or I might of fallen under his spell too.

I would say it’s the other way around.

Personally if Aberdeen win 5-0 and play good football against any team I’m happy.

That wasn’t the case for some a few weeks ago with the “they were pish” and “McInnes is still a cvnt” drivel.

If we win I’m happy and if we lose I’m on here moaning like everyone else is.

For some reason a lot of people come on here to moan whether we win or lose.

Does Jenny and her hundreds or thousands of like minded friends only go to Pittodrie because of Mc(men’s and will stop when he leaves?

They’ll deny it though.

There's the Oxford English Dictionary definition of irony right there.

Probably a bit of reality in your statement as we all like a moan at something related with football.
I can honestly say I was very happy with the 5-0 (my posts at the time will prove it) but somehow we ditched our attacking ideas and decided to play defensive again which as we cannot defend properly has cost us 3 defeats on the bounce.
Milne doesn’t care about the results he is more concerned that McInnes gets the new training facility he asked for so he can spend even more hours defending set plays etc.
It’s the Aberdeen way

I really doubt Milne is doing this for McInnes, i just think he has found a useful idiot to justify his ruining of Pittodrie.

Per the question asked earlier about which manager to come in to replace McInnes then why not someone like the Rijeka manager, already a title and cup winner as a manager, good grasp of the British game due to his playing career and knows how to set a team up to go out to win rather than to not concede.

Failing that then why not offer Steve Clarke the gig along with his Scotland duties, it wouldn't be the first time someone has performed both duties and it's fair to say that what he did with Kilmarnock was exceptional, getting players to perform above what is their perceived standard.

There are a hundred and one managers that could get the results, league placings and amount of cup victories that McInnes has and I've said elsewhere, lets judge McInnes on his term here and not against previous managers. We all know the previous managers greatly under-performed and I'm not labelling McInnes an under-performer but at best he's achieved what he should, possibly over-performed slightly in the league but under-performed in both Europe and the domestic cup competitions.

Jenny does I'm confident others do too but the vast majority don't.

To answer your full question I've no reason to doubt the others will continue to go after he leaves but for now they're under his spell and blind to his weaknesses and it's NOW that is important not the future.

It's their brainwashed status that is helping to enable McInnes to carry on making the same mistakes over and over again. He thinks he's doing no wrong because of his dewy-eyed fan clubs continued swooning.

I fear until the scales fall from their eyes and they finally tell him what the time is he'll remain blissfully unaware of his shortcomings.

I struggle to think why Igor Biscan would have the slightest interest of becoming our manager?

Steve Clarke will never move up here so unless you want a part time manager who commutes from London there’s no point in thinking about it.

Jack Ross will get fired from Sunderland sooner rather than later and end up back at someone like St Johnstone so it will probably be him that replaces McInnes.

Think we all know simply changing the coach won't be enough. To change the fortunes of this club a complete regime change is required.

Problem is there's only so much a club from a small provincial city can do while the two ogres from Glasgow exist. Even with a new man in the chair realistically we're still going to be playing for third place and occasional domestic cup wins season after season.

It's a tough life being a red.
