Is his stock still high enough to get another decent offer in England? Top half Championship? Once he leaves Aberdeen I do wonder if he might move more to Media as he does speaks very well at press conferences. If he does want to continue into management then I can't see him pick a smaller Scottish team so either a struggling championship team or a league 1 team in England.

DukDukGoose Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Let's be honest here. If he goes to another Scottish club, he's going too well. That's my only real fear about him going. His time is up but he's still a very good manager. I just think he's taken us as far as he can. Next appointment must be spot on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Looking forward to the day he takes over at Hibs tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Do you guys think that Derek would be interested in a move to Sevco? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard will move to a diddy club in the English Premier League so it is possible. Do wonder if that is the move Rangers are going to make as signing very average Aberdeen players is very strange.

You'd think this time round he would be. He has to realise that he's going quite stale at Aberdeen and unless he is able to dramatically revamp the squad in the summer (which not many managers are great at continually doing), he's got about a year or so before his stock starts falling so if Gerrard goes to some diddy mob down South, he'll need to jump to still be out on the upswing as it were IMO.

His stock his still high, and he has the advantage of being a 'known name' (to a certain extent) in England due to his time at West Brom and Bristol City. I always felt sorry for Jimmy Calderwood when he left us. He seemed to be tainted for some reason, and couldn't get a gig anywhere. His record with us wasn't that bad, and he deserved a chance somewhere else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you believe the rumours he wanted the Rangers job. Rangers refused to pay the compensation. McInnes was unwilling to leave without his severance package. Wouldn't hand in his resignation as he did not want to leave on a sour note. Everyone moved on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly thought he told them to bolt last time because he was settled at Aberdeen. It was quite a scene from the Aberdeen support at Dens as you serenaded him for 90 minutes in the game directly after he told them no. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of the who, what or why he still deserves credit for turning it down. If he wasn't settled I presume he would have left whether he had to resign or not. He'd also turned down Sunderland which was another basket case of a club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illgresi Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) If McInnes is gone at the end of the season, the only manager that I would be comfortable with would be Steve Clarke and there's no chance of that.

At a club like ours, persuading the board to get the chequebook out is a valuable part of a manager's skill set. You only have the chance to be a chequebook manager if you make it. Did Jimmy not have a reasonably successful caretaker stint at Killie or am i imagining that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Is McInnes not contracted until 2022? So we either fork out for a couple of strikers for his last season, or compo and the new guy finds a couple of freebies. Unless McInnes gets a good offer elsewhere i'd guess he'll want to prove himself and try to win another cup during his tenure. I can't see him being inundated with offers from anyone that's been paying attention this season. I think the chat about him being off in the summer is wishful thinking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure on that however...if we finish 3rd and get group stage football in Europe I suspect he'll be less inclined to leave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon he would of taken the Sunderland job if we won the Scottish Cup that year. Meaning there is a alternate timeline where Hayes plays the ball in front of McLean to score. And we have Tommy Wright as manager 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunderland always had the potential for him to be out on his arse within a few months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
