DAFC. Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Anyone else watching the Kelty Hertz game? Kelty absolutely bossing it. Could be a sore evening for Brechin if Kelty get a goal fairly soon. 5 teams from Fife in the SPFL next season IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Utterly delusional. I wonder what goes through folks' minds to think McInnes would even be approaching a serious shout. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 1 hour ago, ATLIS said: I'd say there's not much chance of this. He's a bank manager outside of football so will be on good money. He'd have to give that up to come to manage a FT time, where he isn't guaranteed a job long term. If anything you'd imagine he'd need to be on at least 1.2k p/w and 3 or 4 year deal to consider giving up that level of stability. Do you mean a branch bank manager? If so I know someone who does that and is on about the average UK salary, I think it would be job security rather than pay if that really is his job. Also McInnnes was no way on £884k a year I might be tempted to believe he was on £17k a month including any bonuses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toun Clock Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Seen someone saying there main target would be Alex Neil. He’s another one in the Robinson and McInnes category. The not a hope in hell category. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Alan Temple is doing some fantastic work at the Courier at the moment. Absolutely fair play to Stevie Crawford for that honesty, too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the fence about McInnes it would obviously be a bit of a coup us landing him and I highly doubt he would be interested in joining us and his football style leaves a lot to be desired. Yeah I agree but throw some names about and gets the place fired up. £17k a week at Aberdeen Interesting times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nae c*nt that I've seen, however I did mention him, along with Stevie Robinson. Plenty more speculation coming our way in the coming weeks. Whoever we go with it can't be as big a gamble as it was with Crawford. Needs to be someone with more managerial experience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think i saw somewhere he’s some sort of business account manager, not a branch manager. He’s the account manager for some large businesses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Crawford is leaving with a lot of dignity, which is really nice to see. That interview is so open and honest, doesn’t make excuses but he’s not ignorant to where he could have done better. The very best of luck to him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummo Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) Mid-life crisis... I don't know Stewart Petrie but if I was someone at his age and stage in life and someone asked me the question: "When you were younger, did you really want to be a successful bank manager?" The answer would not be "yes". If he succeeds with Dunfermline like he has with Montrose, (and why wouldn't he?) then he can enjoy his success at Scottish football's highest level, on a very decent salary. Not only that, it would put him in the shop window if he ever felt like managing big, big time. All this is of course a risk and it would depend on Petrie's type of personality whether he would take it. His target with Montrose was to make them the best team in Angus and that task remains unfinished. In the unpredictable world of football management, he could twist on this round and wait until the Pars job came round again because his stock is always going to be high at Dunfermline. I think if he continues to succeed at Montrose and the opportunity comes again for him at the Pars then that might be the planetary / duck alignment necessary to lure him to East End Park. It could be now, it could be later, it could be never. As a Montrose fan, obviously I am hoping for the latter two options but am steeling myself for the first.

Stellaboz Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I don't think it's that. He's just not that good at making changes, or reacting to how a game is going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
