Thanks for the info.

Can you please tell me that again tomorrow incase I forget.

You never forget to open the thread. Tune in tomorrow for page 520, see if anything’s changed

Good point.

Can someone please tell me why McInnes needs to go?

It’s been at least 24 hours since someone has mentioned it.

You keep asking why he needs to go and when it get's brought up why he needs to go you complain about it...

When was the last time we signed a non British / Irish player from a non British club?

Obviously we got Leigh on loan from the Dutch team but he is basically a lower league English player. We got Gallagher from US but he’s Irish and there was the Atlanta link.

I’m struggling to think who our last foreign singing from a foreign club was...

Arnason from that team from Cyprus.

Before that possibly the guy Chalali that Craig Brown signed.

Even Arnason is a bit “tenuous” as he’d been here before & spent a lot of time in England too.
It’s just a fact that McInnes prefers the British/Irish types, and it’s also Russ Richardson’s area of “expertise”.
Fits in with the team ethic, & pragmatism that is in McInnes DNA.
McInnes management style is the way he was as a player.
Unspectacular & all about the teamwork.
All this hot air about sharing scouting with Atlanta is exactly that.

What has any of that got to do with McInnes being a thick hun? Please stick to the topic or start a new thread.

Warning, thread police.

I was asked a question and answered it.

I'm hearing that there might be a possibility we might share a director of football with Atlanta, which would involve the merger of both clubs scouting networks. If and I do stress If this is correct I would imagine McInnes would find it hard to work under a DoF given he turned down both Sunderland and Sevco who both had DoF.

I can see one obvious flaw with this. We don't have a scouting network. Or at least it doesn't feel like we have one given the utter garbage we seem to sign.

We do have a head of football recruitment though.

Don’t get me started on him.
Him & McInnes have a lot to answer for in the last two years.

Excuse my cynicism, but I can just imagine Ronald de Boer asking who these sh1te players that have been recommended are & having to look up Northampton, Sc*nthorpe & Gillingham on google.
Meanwhile McInnes has a heart attack at trying to deal with a ball playing no10 from South America.

Are we sure the scouting tie up ain’t with the Atlanta Falcons pretty sure derek would fancy the punter as a player

I'd take Julio Jones up front.

Sure, there's be a few hand balls, but he'd cause carnage at set pieces.

I’m not sure if it’s just down to Russ Richardson where we buy our players from.

We were buying players from the English lower leagues long before he arrived.

I might be wrong here but when Willie Miller was dof and he made his mate Craig Robertson head of scouting im sure someone said that he was told to only look for British based players.

It will be interesting to see if things change under Cormack because I doubt that Russ Richardson would be refusing to look for players outside of the uk.

The thread police seem to be selective on who they pull up.
A whole page of misdemeanours.

This must be the 70’s and I must be black.

Always knew Mason was racist

Anyway, on his behalf

I’m sure that the British/Irish market is their preferred choice but since Skovdhal was in charge how many foreign players have we signed from abroad?

I would say you would be lucky if it’s 10,that’s not a coincidence.

The effort that went into that last post was quite incredible
