McInnes built something over 8 years that had us consistently qualifying for Europe, a trophy, multiple trips to Hampden and 4 second place finishes. If someone offered you a manager for the next 8 years to have exactly the above you’d snatch their hand off. Stop living in the 80’s.
From beating Dundee 7-0 and Rijeka 3-0, to Jim Goodwin getting beat 6-0 and 5-0 in Edinburgh, to say ‘just because Goodwin is no better’ is the understatement of the century. We are so far behind from where we were with McInnes.
Even the best managers go through spells where they can’t score, or can’t win. Scoring 1 in 9 was not acceptable, but it wasn’t sackable. I’d choose that over the Hearts, Darvel, Hibs run any day.
