Replacement for DM

[Stupie82]

If Sevco really wanted him, it would have happened already. Looks like he will be staying.

I disagree, it’s not like they are already interviewing folk. They have said they will take their time, so they are probably drawing up a list of candidates as we speak. Derek will be on that list and just because he isn’t the only one, doesn’t mean they don’t want him. He will have to go through the process like anyone else applying for that job.

If he didn't want it then he'd categorically say he didn't want it even if it's right now. The board could make their position clear as well.

So another period of uncertainty ensues.

This is how i see it, for what it's worth : Derek wants to at least speak to the huns, has likely indicated this to Milne that he will want to speak to them if indeed approached and my guess is the huns will very likely want to speak to him at some point. The club wont say anything because nothing has happened as yet. As far as they are concerned, DM is the dons manager and will be until such a time he decides not to be. They wont stand in his way, but they also wont say anything publicly in case nothing happens.

I think he'll stick around at Pittodrie for another season or so - if he can finish 2nd for a 4th consecutive year, with Rangers, Hearts and Hibs in the league and also have a decent run to at least the semis of the Scottish Cup, he will continue to catch the eye of clubs down south. One last shot at the Europa league next season and then he'll move on.

I don't think there's any risk for him. If the move to England doesn't come off at the end of next season, the Rangers job will likely be available again in a couple of seasons for him. As I said before, I expect him to go down south and then come back up to Rangers possibly in the future.

I can see Rangers going for a McLeish / Ferguson partnership or something - experience + a fan's favourite to get their miserable supporters back on side. But who knows with that bunch of clowns.

I do think AFC should already be thinking about who should replace McInnes though - even if he doesn't need replacing immediately, I think it's safe to say that he will within the next 2 seasons.

Yep, I think we are in the clear

For now

Lets face it, Del to Sevco was worst case scenario. He'll leave, but not yet, and not to THEM.

The high placed sources on follow follow all claim they will be trying to get McInnes this week.

If he's allowed to or chooses to speak to them, and sees their facilities and is promised x million, he's gone.

They wont speak to him due to his inability to do anything against the pigs. He is a huge gamble. Im am positive of this
