Because the noisy, entitled fantasists in our support finally got an entitled, fantasist chairman in their own image. Too much negative football! Top 4 not good enough! Eye bleeding! Boring one nils! Instead, we'll have expansive football! Gifted foreigners desperate to ply their trade in Scotland for 2 or 3 grand a week! A genuine title challenge! Ergo the, by a huge margin, most successful non-OF manager of the past 20 years was clearly not good enough. Tell you what, lets throw a huge wedge of DNA cash at him to get rid, and hire guys who've done sweet f**k all! Our relegation competitors have an absolutely massive advantage. They may not have the same money, but they actually live in the real world. It almost feels like cheating. Did you watch the last couple of seasons under McInnes? It was sub Calderwood. I hated Calderwood with a passion but even he didn't go 10 games without a goal. We were utter rank before McInnes got rightly binned 1 trophy in 8 years does not get you a lifetime job. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodhull Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 McInnes was a great manager for us overall but let's not pretend the form the club had with him at the end was anything but absolutely dreadful. Long stretches without scoring a single goal becoming more regular all the time. He had long since gone stale and he was going to leave at the end of the season anyway. The season after his sacking being a disaster does not mean getting rid of him was a mistake. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only looks like a bad decision now because we replaced him with Stephen Glass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 The McInnes tinted spectacles stuff is boring. He did a good job and he will always be remembered fondly but by the end of his tenure we were rotten. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McInnes should be next Hibernian manager and Jack Ross, Aberdeen. You just know though the owners won't go down that road though and gamble using the clubs money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how that works as appointing Ross would have likely been a cheaper option than appointing Goodwin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, Jack will get more money than Goodwin wherever he goes next. Both our clubs should have went for Alex Neil. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s said himself he would’ve left at the end of the season anyway. I get he’ll always be compared to as he’s a good benchmark for any manager in our modern history but jeeso settle down lads. The anger should be directed towards the utter mess we’ve made since he left. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big al Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 That was absolutely horrendous. Never really looked like scoring. The ref was next level though. Just gets worse each week. Used to think having 2 weeks between games made the team better prepared under Glass and they would come out playing decent. Definitely not been the case the last few games when there has been that break between games. Looks like we miss Russell and his set pieces, as we don’t know much about creating in open play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wastecoatwilly Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 There was only one choice for the Dons after McInnes left but you guys feck up St Mirren's chances and your own by appointing Glass in one season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 If Aberdeen get relegated I'll eat my horse. You cannot be bad enough to lose to a Championship side in the play-off, if you happen to be involved. And you won't be involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
