We can definitely do worse than Taylor but we know he's on a decent wage.

I wouldn't be completely opposed to giving him a new deal, but I also wouldn't want him as a regular starter under the next manager. I agree with the point above about ideally only wanting to accommodate one from him and Considine in the squad, and Considine is already signed up. Hoban is the only one of the out-of-contract players I would really like to keep. He hasn't been as good recently as he was immediately upon his return, but he is playing the most football he ever has in a single season and it has probably begun to catch up with him. It is a minor miracle that he has got this far without breaking down, to be honest. He will probably go back to England, unfortunately. I think some, including myself earlier in the season, probably got a bit carried away with the level he is capable of playing at, but he will probably have done enough to attract some interest from lower-end Championship and upper-end League One teams. I agree with @Dons_1988 that Hoban is away. I think his loyalty was with McInnes for giving him another chance and not the club. There's nothing wrong with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always heard he was on a pretty low wage when he came back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I think we can safely rule out a new deal for Shay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfCutNinja Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Well getting rid of McInnes really made a difference. And even after another defeat still five points clear of fifth with five games to play. Coming off the worst run for a long time. Testament to what a stunning job he continued to do there. Hope you didn't get too used to all this success. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Rumours abound on Twitter that Alex Neil is soon to be available. Probably unlikely, but certainly preferable to many of the names being bandied around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a club who has spent the last couple years pissing about in the seaside leagues, pipe down about success. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not the ones sacking a manager who had consistently delivered it and continued to do so. Don't worry though, I'm sure Stephen Glass's 18 months at Atlanta 2 have prepared him well to succeed the third best manager in the history of the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, just maybe, our definitions of success are different. Our team has been on the slide for three years, McInnes' time was up long before we sacked him. His prior performance granted him a fairly long stay of execution, but the team's continued poor form meant a change had to be made to try and salvage a top four finish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aberdeen support have definitions of success that are utterly delusional and based on pure entitlement. After this being on the apparent slide for three years you're about to finish in a European place, again. For the seventh time in a row. God only knows what you think success is, you can't even recognise it when its being delivered year in year out. And what the hell do you mean 'salvage' a top four finish? McInnes had you in a position you could pick the team by raffle the rest of the season you're absolutely guaranteed to finish no lower than fourth. See what I mean? This is nonsense. You already had 4th in the bag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
