Derek McInnes

[Jackjarvis]

Quiet week with internationals on...

Back on topic....McInnes.

I see that Reading sacked Jaap Stam yesterday and McInnes' name is nowhere to be seen when looking at replacements. It seems to me that, other than Sunderland, he never gets even vaguely tipped to get any of these championship jobs. The more time goes on the more deluded it is if he or anyone else thinks he will get even a championship job in guffland. Even Murty and Warburton are getting mentioned for this gig ahead of him

He would at least need to win the cup to get a sniff of something at that level otherwise he is looking at league one at best. He was only offered the Sunderland gig because of his hun connections with Martin Bain. He just doesn't seem to be rated by anyone else just now other than Milne. So we are stuck with him for the forseeable future.

Hope I am wrong but I can't see us getting past Motherwell while missing our suspended players. I only hope that McInnes recruits well over the summer, changes his footballing philosophy to one of positivity and ditches having "favourites" (O'Connor/Considine)...given that he has been this way for years now fits the chances of that happening?!

Wise words from someone in the know apparently......I’m surprised you only get 8/10.......meanwhile, we’ve got the semi and a fight for 2nd to focus on.

At what point did I claim to be "in the know apparently"?! Also I presume that you are not aware of our former player?

Would love to know what I have said that is in your view wrong? I just gave an opinion and I seem to recall you crowing on before to people that this is meant to be a "banter forum"...do you even ken fit that means? Certainly dinna see it in that post.

Appears that the McInnes apologists are taking over and dinna like it if any conflicting view gets posted on here.

Would be delighted for us to win the cup, that would be an achievement. Don't really care about 2nd but it's definitely better than 3rd or below.

Winning a cup would give McInnes something of a legacy but it shouldn't cloud that we have regressed this season in terms of performance and the ability levels of our playing squad. I have never said that I want him sacked. Just pointed out my view of where our weaknesses lie and my desire to see us do better.

Sorry if that is disagreeable to you and for raising a different point of view to that of you and your pals - hope you all keep enjoying what your being served.

P.S. Your posts always end in SF....Presumably that is a signature for Stupid **** and not Stand Free?!

If you read any of JJ's posts or indeed mine as I presume there was a back handed slur to anyone that doesn't want Deek strung up by his baas from the nearest lampposts there are very few McInnes apologists or "happy clappers". Just a few folk who are prepared to be somewhat more realistic. I don't think anyone for example has tried to defend our performance at Ibrox as being acceptable.

No doubt you will come out and crow when we get knocked out in the Semi and finish 4th in the league. Me I just want us to do as well as possible.

I think at the end of last season, it was always going to be considered that this year would be a transitional year for the squad.
Indeed, I seem to recall there being many plaudits last summer for the recruitment we managed to achieve.

I get the sense of regression, were now unlikely to match last seasons record breaking total and were beaten in the quarter finals of the League cup as opposed to getting to the final.

It would seem that this next summer will be another transitional window and I guess the big fear is whether we will be able to replace with better quality than those we will lose this summer.

Pretty fair and balanced assessment there I would say (apart fae the first line being almost directly quoted from McInnes )

I wasn't convinced by the last summer transfer window to be honest but certainly didn't think I would be as disappointed with these signings as I have been. What I was stating earlier was more about the need for better recruitment in order to improve than it was having a go at McInnes. He will still be here and as I said, I just want him to improve things but I have my doubts.

Whoosh......the concept of banter is perhaps lost on your good self, regardless, according to yourself, “he” or “anyone else” are deluded apparently....hence, I thought you might be in the know with a statement like that.......anyway, resorting to native Doric and industrial language kind of well.......shows that you are not too enamoured on a banter forum.......fair do’s, each to their own and you crack on.

Banter...really Ok then!

Notice that you haven't cared to answer my questions - fair enough, that's up to you.

Have no idea why the use of doric on an Aberdeen FC forum should be so offensive?! Can only apologise to you my precious for using "industrial language" but that's something I use in everyday life - terribly common I know but there you are you SF (that better?!)

Person 2 sounds like a right w@nk.

Has this forum took a really strange turn in the last month or so.

Or is it just me?
