Rodhull Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 4 minutes ago, HalfCutNinja said: Big deal, you're fourth and absolutely guaranteed to qualify for Europe for the seventh straight year. Before McInnes you managed four in nineteen years. Teams go through sticky patches, a manager who has done an absolutely outstanding job over a long period of time has earned the credit to survive them. Except in the minds of fans of a club who are basically spoiled brats cause they had an amazing manager forty years ago, and they still don't understand things aren't like that anymore. Anyway enjoy battling for a top six place, and be careful what you wish for in future. Oh here we go it's not the 80s anymore. How can you do better? Get the bingo cards out. You're right he did earn some credit. The last season and a half of eye bleeding football and under achieving was it. Telling us to enjoy mediocrity but 1 goal in 9 is acceptable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity he couldn't capitalise on Celtic's Deila time, we all would have liked to see that. If only there was a job he could do 45 mins down the A90....

Marginally under-achieving by finishing one place below the best possible league finish the club is capable of, after four consecutive second place finishes. So in effect he won the title four times in a row, then finished second twice and Aberdeen fans were wanting him sacked. That's how deluded they are. Its nine games mate, not fifty, and the fact they're still in fourth after a run like that shows what a good job he was doing. Edited to add He also lost his best central defender (also his captain) and best centre forward. And still was fourth after a bad run. Astonishing decision, but this is what pressure from fans without a clue can do. Edited March 8, 2021 by HalfCutNinja 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Mahelp Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Half Cut guy is right in one way....the task of the next manager will be the most difficult at Pittodrie since Porterfield replaced Fergie. The new manager has very little wriggle room. He needs.....at the very least....to maintain the consistency that McInnes put in place. He'll need as a bare minimum to get top 4 finishes and cup finals. On top of that bare minimum, he'll need to improve the standard of football. But that's only the minimum. Consistency may not be good enough. It'll be DEMANDED of him to win trophies, and put pressure on the OF. All of that, on a budget which is decreasing. That is fucking tough. Honestly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With little money for a rebuild, I have a real fear for next season. Think we can kiss the guaranteed top six finishes goodbye. It's all Scott Fucking Wrights fault. It’s actually Scott Brown’s fault for assaulting Marley Watkins and putting him out for the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telling us to enjoy mediocrity but 1 goal in 9 is acceptable. could make an arguement that the Dons have been the worst side to watch in the entire SPFL since christmas 2019....it's been brutal and had there been fans at Pittordie I suspect this day would have come earlier, Like many others I liked McInnes but the the last 18 months have been brutal and his panic change out of forward line in the January window clarified that he didnt really know what to do to make things better. St Johnstone (and even bloody Rangers) have won as many trophies as we have scored goals in the last six weeks Growing the beard and slicking back the hair.....big mistake 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it certainly shows that Dave Cormack thinks the club with comfortably the 3rd biggest budget should be higher than 4th 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was too young for the Fergie era. Alex Smith is probably the only contender besides Mcinnes for the best manager we’ve had in the time I’ve supported the club. I don’t even expect the next manager to necessarily do as well as Mcinnes but the day you think the way things have been going is acceptable is the day the club has pretty much given up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its impossible. You could hand pick any manger on earth, not one of them could achieve even half of that. My concern is Scottish football. A strong Aberdeen is good for Scottish football. We didn't have a strong Aberdeen for twenty years, then McInnes gave us one. There will be no improvement on results as a result of changing manager, as they can't be any better than they have been. They could be better to watch, but improvement on results is out of the question. I actually liken McInnes' time at Aberdeen to Simeone at Atletico. Took over a team that are a big club in their league but had been underachieving for a long time. Re-established them as a force by playing football that often isn't great to watch but very effective. Feel very sorry for him, he really couldn't have done much more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How bad does it have to be before you think a change needs to be made? You’ve surely got to acknowledge that it is not McInnes’ fault that we have scored 1 goal in 9 games. Numerous chances over these games to have have scored more than enough to have won most of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
