Dee Man Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 McInnes has transformed the whole mentality of our club. As far as I'm concerned he can stay as long as he wants. Anyone he says they wouldn't swap their manager for him is a liar(unless you are a St. Johnstone fan, or Hearts at a push). You're right m8, I feel bad for lying now. I'd swap Hartley for him in a heartbeat after watching Del boy preside over a 7 game winless streak of 6 losses (including a 5-1 mauling at home against St Johnstone and getting papped out the cup by lower league opposition) and a draw with Motherwell. This is as well as getting fucked out of Europe to some mob from Kazakhstan. Yes, he truly is a tactical genius and footballing mastermind.

Widge Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 All this thread tells me is how good Tommy Wright is as a manager. And the fact McInnes is the second best in the league I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 You'd rather 6 wins in 30 over a trophy and European football? K U wot? You telling me McInnes could substantially drop his budget down to our level and still get us European football and a cup? Get the c**t in then, I'm all for it now.

This is as well as getting fucked out of Europe to some mob from Kazakhstan. Yes, he truly is a tactical genius and footballing mastermind. At least that's an informed, objective opinion A tactical genius he is not, but he has been fantastic for us and we are night and day to what we once were. I had high hopes for Hartley as a manager but to be honest Dundee look bang average at best this season and we dispatched of you worryingly easily last weekend. Also I am fed up of hearing about this "mob" from Kazakhstan. Aside from Celtic, I would challenge anyone in this division to go up against that side. World class they were not, but they were a very good side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeboy Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I'm not sure I'd want my team travelling all that distance to get papped out in a qualifying round and then call it being in Europe tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I met Derek McInnes in Ladbrokes on the Cleppy Road some years back when he was still at Dungpee Spewshited. Didnt see what his line was, however. You're supposed to be drunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deefiant Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I met Derek McInnes at the Jet garage in Dundee at approximately 5am on a Monday morning filling up his top spec Range Rover. We exchanged pleasantries over Rory Loy signing for us and as he departed he complimented my beard. on the strength of this interaction I'd have him at Dens.

Honest Saints Fan Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 It might have been his own wife but 101 Saint would know more about that... I'm sure it was a cup game and he had a black suit on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 On our recent fixture changes: “None of that will apply for the run of games we have coming up. There will be less people in the door, so less money taken in. “There will also be a lesser atmosphere. “The empty seats will also look bad for our game when the coverage is shown on the television. “We want to try to promote our game, but all of that doesn’t help. “We must be careful not to be seen to take our supporters for granted. “The fans are the most important people at any club.” Big Deek kens the score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkneil Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I have to say that though Derek has been fantastic for us, he also arrived at just the right time. Many of our standout performers over the last 2-3 years are players who were brought to the club during the Paw Broon era. For example Mark Reynolds, Niall Mcginn & Jonny Hayes were all brought in by Brown. Brown just never got the best out of the team, partly down to tactics and partly due to weaknesses we still had in the team (a decent striker being the main one) that he either didn't or couldn't fix. Derek has done well in the transfer market for us. Rooney, Logan, McLean (in the correct position), Flood and others have improved our team. But credit also has to go to those behind the scenes as we have gone out and got the correct players, paying fees/wages that other teams cannot match. There are still failings though, the ones most obvious to fans being the lack of changes by utilising subs earlier than 80min bar for injuries and the issue of players being used in positions they are not suited to. When things are going well, it's great but on those days where we start slow and don't look quite right on the field, there's always that worry that we'll just be hoping we scrape a win. Ross County is the exception, so hopefully whatever happened at half time for that game has been 'kept on file' for later use. He's done well, I'm happy for him to stay, but the improvement in Aberdeen is down to more than Derek. The club as a whole have done this, and the hope is that we continue in this vein, with or without Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club as a whole have done this, and the hope is that we continue in this vein, with or without Derek. I agree with pretty much all of that. He does seem to lack a plan B when things aren't going to plan. He's put together a strong first 11 with 1 or 2 behind that that can make a difference to the team. Our recent poor run of form highlighted those failings for me, he juggled things a bit to try and change it (Parker up front against Caley) but then it seemed he just kept putting out the same team and hoped things would turn itself round eventually. I'm sure that's very simplistic and much more work went on behind the scenes but that was a fans view of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeboy Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 You'd give your right bollock to go get melted watching Dundee in Europe. I already have seen Dundee in Europe (the UEFA cup). I wouldn't class the Intertoto games as Europe, some would, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
