You might also need someone who can work on a more limited budget than DM has been used to, certainly for a couple of seasons anyway. Aberdeen lost some potent striking options due to a combo of transfers and bad luck, were forced into last minute loans and it showed yesterday - which is hardly the managers fault. If I had a criticism of DM yesterday it was in trying to crowbar the Ferguson/Mcrorie/McGeough formation in, the only one that looked recognisable was Ferguson. Mcgeogh was dragged to his left far too often to influence the match and - one shot aside - Mcrorie was ineffective. DM is suffering what Ross was a few weeks ago - working out his best formation. It took JR a few weeks and a few new players to sort it. I dont see Cormack removing him before the end of the season, not least because any new manager would still only be able to pish with the cock he was left by DM................ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Shouts for Wright, Robinson, Goodwin and the likes just make me laugh. If we're gong to change then for fuvk sake let's think outside the box please. We need someone to come in that will not fear the arse cheeks and play as if we're beaten from the start. Who fits the bill ? No idea to be honest but then that is the job of the board not the fans Goodwin is the only manager to have beaten both cheeks of the old firm this season [emoji13].He'll go onto much bigger and better things than us but he is still very much learning on the job. I agree that he is not ready for the Dons, yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zapp Brannigan Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Since the 3-3 Celtic game where things all started to fall apart for one reason or another the league results have been; P16, W5, L5, D6 We've failed to score in seven of those games. It's mid table form which is exactly where we're heading. In this season of all seasons it was so important to get 3rd. Hibs have invested heavily in their squad and should really be under greater scrutiny if they don't finish there. The reason we have such high (recent) expectations is because of McInnes himself, that shouldn't be forgotten. I just feel fresh ideas are now needed. The longer it goes on, the uglier it's going to get, unfortunately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I blame Aberdeen being shitebags because Sevco have gone and signed their best player Scott Wright imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperate to punt off your most successful manager in decades because you're absolutely obsessed with the Old Firm. Absolute NAP this time next year you're still not near them (hint: it's probably because their ability to spend is about 40x times higher than Aberdeen. Livingston are closer to you in terms of spending than you are to either of them), and you'll be greeting about how much of a "shitebag club" Aberdeen are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s time for him to go then is because he’s beginning to take us on a downward trend, not because it’s time to reach the next level. Anyone thinking that if we just employ a ‘good’ manager well suddenly ascend to a new level of greatness is kidding themselves. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibs basically have two good players for every position and the CM options, in particular, would get into most teams in the league. Only two main strikers though and it's been fortunate I suppose that they've both been fit for the most part 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illgresi Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 When McInnes does depart, do we use his sizeable salary to attract a (hopefully) better calibre of manager? Or do we cut the manager's salary and use it on players? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucksburnDandy Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 When the inevitable does happen one thing i am buzzing for is the I told you so's coming from either side depending on how it all works out. Cant waitOlder members of the Tartan Army loved playing the "told you so" about binning Gordon Strachan until November 12th 2020. Suddenly they went very quiet.It will be interesting to see what names come forward if the job becomes available. There's no obvious front runner at all.Our group chat had a rattle round of names last night that included Tommy Wright, Shaun Maloney, Jim Goodwin, Stephen Robinson, Micky Flynn, Darren Moore, Paul Cook, Danny Cowley then it got a bit more wild as the boundaries got pushed to more left field names like Steve Kean and Nigel Adkins.That's a few names without even going into the continental market. Might float some people's boats. Others like@kingjoey would baulk at the names and prefer to stick with DM.All opinions are fair enough provided they are well thought out and balanced. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
