Yet you would have sacked him on the strength of a couple of cup ties, the second of which we went into with three of our best players suspended, and another two not fit enough to start the game? Just feel like more examples of this strange inflated sense of entitlement some of our support have. I dont think he's deserved to be sacked until this dreadful run since the 3-3 celtic game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still hoping these rumours aren't true - I think he deserves a chance to see if the new strikers can be bedded in and we can redeem things this season. That still shouldn't be outwith the realms of possibility. He's been a slave to a system that worked earlier in the season - and there is huge room for improvement - but this trigger happy thing in football these days is something for other clubs, and I get the feeling Cormack thinks these seething types on mainstream social media are the voice of most dandies right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday’s game was a must win or at the very least needed a change in performance. The team surrendered fairly early on. Can’t for the life of me see why we write off the rest of the season just for McInnes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would make sense in getting rid of him after the players giving him 2 weak, gutless, spineless performances. He has nothing left to change things up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Names getting bandied around include Louis Van Gaal, Jurgen Klinsmann & David Wagner Wagner wouldn’t be unrealistic if we had the 1m a season contract on offer Mcinnes is reported to have. Other 2 however are surely on wind up. Would rather keep Mcinnes than go for the boring Tommy Wright, Stephen Robinson type. Hoping Cormack goes big on this 1 and shocks us all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 There is a section of our support who seem convinced that we are only allowed to appoint either Scottish managers or managers currently/recently employed in Scotland. Obviously some of the names bandied around are completely unrealistic, but so is the idea that McInnes leaving would automatically consign us to the bottom six with John Hughes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t for the life of me see why we write off the rest of the season just for McInnes. I don't think they gave up - just think they're lacking in confidence - happens in football and sometimes just needs a spark, something to go our way (we've hit wood in the last three and yesterday's penalty was soft and fairly similar to a collision the other way in the second half not given - Tuesday night we had the Lewis thing - then there was the Hedges news - suffice to say we maybe need a lucky break in our favour and hopefully things start going the right away again). When confidence is low, players go into their shells, don't try things - McInnes has a lot to do to get it going again, but that's a much needed game for Hornby and McGeouch - with other striking options to follow. Getting more out of the wide players and securing the defence a bit, could maybe be achieved by changing things around formation wise. Do we really need the upheavel of a managerial change right now? - I suspect we'd end up with some disillusioned key players and it goes from bad to worse rapidly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it in one. And if you think about it carefully, I’m hardly going to be talking about people with an internet connection that have the same view as me.

He’s been a good manager, if slightly limited, manager for us and deserves respect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True on all counts. He's been the best manager at the club in the last 30 years, and a good record would (should) have been a great record with a couple of Scottish cups and pushing Celtic closer in 2015-2016. Some of this 'hvn qkunt' stuff on social media only proves that our support is full of utter dicks.

I don't know if concocting a story that he's a total fraud stealing a wage just makes them feel better about hounding a man out of employment? Not as fun if you acknowledge him as someone who's dedicated 8 years of his life to the club, with a good deal of success. I keep thinking about who would be an adequate replacement and I keep coming back to the 2013/14 Derek Mcinnes to be honest. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarapoa Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) The Northern Light on FB has been an enlightening social experiment - an absolute cesspit at times truth be told. I daren't even sign up for twitter. The old forums, including this one (but not the Hat), seem to be far more measured.................. On the 'hvn qkvnt' stuff, he went out of the way before Saturday's game to say despite not having been brought up a red, he now loves the club more than any supporter. A bit misguided maybe (once met that postie guy who'd only ever missed Dinamo Tirana away in 50 years) - but the sentiment was there.

I'm inclined to agree to an extent but I'd also be looking at cv's of managers with experience of winning ties in europe which might not necessarily be a young manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Wilkos Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I would like to see Jong Ajax coach Dixon der Whole given a chance as gaffer when McInnes finally leaves the building. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
