Not sure if that's the true figure but he's on a mental salary. He kept the fans off of Stewart Milne's back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A board member told me that we had to match Sunderland's offer to get him to stay with us, and that offer was £17.5K pw. The only reason he didn't become Rangers manager is because they refused to match that wage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucksburnDandy Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 In all seriousness. In a season were Celtic have blown 10 in a row are playing as bad as they have in 10 years, have a manager who has lost the plot and have shat the bed like it's never been shat before Aberdeen should be finishing 2nd. instead they'll be releived that Livingston got beat today. And they aren't (yet) staring down the barrel of finishing 5th (yet). McInnes should be doing better. I see I’ve reached the ‘nodding sagely and agreeing with Romeo’ stage of the pandemic Take me, COVID I've agreed with both Romeo and Ewan Murray in one day. These truly are extraordinary times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Mahelp Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 There's no doubt that McInnes has been pretty cursed all season.....the 3 players that made us play, Watkins, Hedges and Wright....have had season ending injuries or we've had to sell them . It seems that for the last month, there isn't a game gone by where we haven't had a player injured in the first 10 minutes and we've had to change things up. But, that's the way it goes. The longer a manager is at a club, the more difficult it is to keep on re-inventing the wheel, and the shorter the tolerance of the supporters. Eventually, it all becomes an ever-decreasing circle and there's no way out. Other than a change of manager. That's where we are just now, sadly. We may limp into 4th place still, but the die has been cast. We just have to use the next few months to see who will be interested in the job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraiJock Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 As awful as the attacking play has been to watch, i'm almost more surprised at all the sloppy goals we've given away. McInnes's teams have always had great focus and rarely offered gifts so were always very consistent and hard to beat. This run of games has seen as throwing daft goals away nearly every game. No idea what changed mid season, but where the back 3 once looked solid as a rock, it now looks more like the awful 3 at the back experiments of many pre-Mcinnes years 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 If Aberdeen had won even one Scottish Cup under McInnes then I doubt the pressure would be as much as it is. But they didn't. They were unlucky in the 2017 final but aside from that shat it when they got to the semi finals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 This situation reminds me a bit of mid 90s Hibs. A long serving manager playing football seen as boring (Miller) left to be replaced by the latest hot managerial talent (Duffy) who got Hibs relegated. All managers have a shelf life I suppose. I just wonder who would improve Aberdeen right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what changed mid season, but where the back 3 once looked solid as a rock, it now looks more like the awful 3 at the back experiments of many pre-Mcinnes yearsThis 100%.The whole ‘entertaining football’ thing is nice - but nothing is more fun for your team than winning - and if that means having the ability to $hitfest and close out a game then I’m fine with that.I’m maybe a bit messed up in that I hate losing goals more than I enjoy us scoring - and this goes back to my Skovdahl, Paterson, McGhee era trauma and my fear we could easily going back to that woefully soft centre. Saying that I’m now forgetting what us scoring feels like, and just expecting not to.McInnes I think needs to get back to basics with a back four - get some minutes into McGeouch and the new strikers - and start getting a tune out of others who are out of touch right now.He did have us playing bonnie stuff earlier in the season, and circumstances seem to have conspired somewhat horribly against him there with the demise of the Watkins-Wright-Hedges triumvirate, which was backed up by a formation that suited the players at the time.Would still rather persist and see where we are in the summer with regards to changing things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheep62 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Shouts for Wright, Robinson, Goodwin and the likes just make me laugh. If we're gong to change then for fuvk sake let's think outside the box please. We need someone to come in that will not fear the arse cheeks and play as if we're beaten from the start. Who fits the bill ? No idea to be honest but then that is the job of the board not the fans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
