The Sheep sh@gger thread on McInnes ran to 619 pages mostly wanting him out but what do they know eh?.

My Aberdeen supporting son in law wanted him out last season. Before.this covid.nae way would i want him at our club.safe pair of hands? prob.but no.That Beard.FFS.

I would be surprised if went to Doncaster. He has a job to build on here. He has got us comfortably mid table in a season we could easily have been in a dogfight given the limited strengthening from the Championship squad.

I'm totally behind Micky.

It's been a difficult season for United to negotiate given the circumstances.

But we've staved off relegation with a level of comfort, and are gunning to get 7th spot with a possible cup run to come.i

I'm a bit worried that we may not be able to give Micky the budget he needs to truly turn us into a top six side. But he proved he can get more out of the players at his disposal. He's made us fitter than we have been for years, and the team fight for each other to the last minute of every game.

Micky also seems to know his stuff when it comes to game management. A quality that we've not had in the dugout for many a year.

Hopefully a bit of stability with Micky at the helm will bring about further improvement as we seek to re-establish our club as top-tier side.

I agree. And JJA22flup's post makes a lot of sense too.
It would surely be very bad for the club to have to find yet another manager. Micky has done exactly what he was tasked to do and has therefore earned the right to the respect and loyalty of the fan base. He's brought in two players, Fuchs and Edwards, both have been successes. In the coming months and years he will add players of that type and seems committed to giving youngsters a chance.
I think we have one of the top two or three managers in Scotland. If you look around the current managers at all the Scottish clubs, who would you take that you reckon would be better than Micky?
The best periods in our club's history have been when we are all behind a manager.
Indeed, we as fans have a responsibility to our club. We have a job to do. We give loud and enthusiastic support. We take the role of "12th man" (a cliche, but the sentiment is valid). When we go a goal down we redouble support, not complain and give the team stick. There is too much sniping, minor criticisms, too many keyboard experts who appear to have forgotten we all want the same thing.
All clubs are strong when they are all pulling in the same direction.
It appears to me at the moment that Dundee United have a generous owner, an ambitious and coherent business plan, a team that is performing better than half of the others in this league (in our first season back in the top league), and a crop of exciting youngsters coming through.
It is a situation many clubs in this country would be very happy to have.
I really hope Micky stays. The fact that other clubs want him speaks volumes.
I'll be renewing my season ticket no matter what.

He has done what was asked of him (maybe a wee bit more) under horrendous circumstances. Got to give him a chance at next season. Let him get rid of the players he thinks can't cut it. Maybe he will get a wee bit cash from MO or transfers. Let him have his own pre-season, and his own squad, and see how it goes.

Dodging relegation this season was a must, and we have now succeeded, might even make 7th. Not too shabby considering.

Looking forward to next season already. Hopefully with a newish team and fans in the stands. What's not to like ?

Mission accomplished this season, lets move on ....(hopefully upwards)

He might even win us the cup still, remote chance but we are still in it 😋

Year left on MM contract. Cld just be his agent doing the old trick of stirring things to push a possible extension to current contract.

[JJA22flup]

Uch surely not another managerial merry-go-round... I'm really happy with what MM has achieved this season with all the obstacles that were in his way. I hope he gets the chance to spend some money and put his own stamp on the team. I would be interested in seeing what he can achieve.

Another aspect. Every club he has been at he has been popular with the fans. Because of COVID he has been deprived of that interaction something he enjoys doing and would probably connect very well with. I am sure that has been really frustrating for him. We definitely needs next season to see what he can really do with the club.
