I don't really understand the Ross hype amongst sections of our support, especially since he has no top flight experience and would almost immediately have to deal with the high expectations that he will inherit from McInnes. I'm not saying he couldn't do a good job, but it would represent a big risk. There is no obviously outstanding candidate if McInnes does move on, though. 

Can only give you the lowdown from a St Mirren perspective Ross has us playing the best football I have seen since Fergie was our manager , however there are dips in form not many but dips. You have to remember we were bottom of the championship when Ross took over you can count in one hand how many games we have lost since January there is no doubt Ross will be a big success in management special ones come up not very often Ross is a special one.

Ross has undoubtedly done a very good job at St Mirren, but I reckon our fans would quite quickly be on his back if he didn't hit the ground running here. 

He might, however, prove to be a gamble worth taking in the long run, especially considering the relative dearth of really strong candidates from within the Premiership or with top-flight experience. I suppose I should wait and see what happens with McInnes over the next week before worrying too much about potential successors, though.

Any change of manager mid-season (or at any time in fact) is a gamble.

But given the shiteness of teams in the Premiership we could probably go the rest of the season without winning a game and still finish 4th at worse. So what's there to lose by appointing a young manager with loads of potential ?

I'd rather we went for Ross than one of the unemployed pensioners, like McLeish and Strachan, looking for a safe gig. 

It would need an element of patience from the support, but the foundations at Pittodrie are strong and Ross could well be a gamble worth taking.

He did the same at Alloa. Inherited a shite team at the bottom of the Championship with no money to spend. Made what was a shambles of a side into a hard working, organised team who won back some respect despite going down. Drew with Rangers home and away and beat Hibs with was a limited set of players.

He then built a new side that summer who won their first 10 games, scudding everyone. Beat County and ICT in cup and held Celtic at Parkhead for 83 minutes. Had Gordon been sent off in the first half for a karate kick we might even have won that and ended this unbeaten run before it really got going.

Unfortunately that caught St Mirren's attention. But in less than  a year at Alloa he showed he can get the best out of players regardless of their ability and confidence on arrival and can adapt tactics easily and effectively to cope with different scenarios. Players love to work for him and he speaks honestly and directly, which is great for fans.

Basically this guy is going far and if Aberdeen got him I'd suggest he would be a definite upgrade on McInnes.
