Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) If Steve McLaren doesn't go to Newcastle then we should have a punt on him. No chance whatsoever. We need to be realistic. The only reason Warburton is being linked is because he isn't that established yet. McClaren is established in English football and will command several times what we are offering. Edited June 2, 2015 by Ser Barristan Selmy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,644 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I'd prefer a 'youngish' coach with good player development skills, with an experienced DoF. If indeed Warburton is good with player development, and he's willing to work with a DoF, I'd be content with his appointment. He doesn't quite excite me because I don't think he's been successful for long enough: runners-up in League One and then 6th (?) in the Championship; it's a good progression but it's only 2 years, at one club. I'd like McClaren: I think he's good at player development, he's a 'coach', had Derby playing some good stuff; success at Middlesbrough, Twente (winning a league title!), and worked under Sir Awec. His record is on another level, but like SBS says: it's perhaps a bit unrealistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
raygun 0 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Warburton had loanees from all the London EPL clubs, his rebuilding of youth was in the main part done by those same EPL clubs, he wouldn't get that assistance up here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC 150 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) There's a curious bit in this article about us being after someone else had we got promoted. First I've heard anything of this. As for McInnes - what exactly is this Aberdeen success? a league cup when we are out of contention? He hasn't challenged the timz in the slightest (not saying he had a chance, just at a loss to why he is acclaimed for his job there) he has won a diddy cup - as did St Mirren and ICT have just won the Scottish. Why McInnes then? oh wait, an ex-player......... Edited June 2, 2015 by SteveC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I initially was quite keen on McInnes. Though I have completely changed my mind. I don't want us going near anyone who has only looked decent in Scotland. After McLeish, McCoist, KMD and McCall it's absolutely compulsory that we get someone in who is proven at a decent level. McInnes lost 32 games at Bristol City, I would pay closer attention to that than how he performed in the joke league that is Scottish football. Although McCall's last season ended very badly, he did pretty well in his other seasons and we have seen how poor a manager he is. Someone with English or continental experience is a must.

der Berliner 3,747 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Maybe I'm mistaken, but McInnes extended his contract with Aberdeen in January or the like. I don't think we will go and buy out his contract. Well not for McInnes that is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalooBear 7 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I thought Billy Davies was a good shout and could get a decent quality of player from England but his name has not been mentioned recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even see how he has looked decent in Scotland. Without us, Hearts and Hibs in the league. Aberdeen should come second to Celtic. Which they did, some 17 points behind a trying for half the season only poor tim side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although McCall's last season ended very badly, he did pretty well in his other seasons and we have seen how poor a manager he is. Someone with English or continental experience is a must. I don't think we need to look at McInnes record in England - I don't think his record with Aberdeen is good enough. He has built a team that tends to lose the games that really count - all four league games against Celtic this season, the League Cup semi fin al against Dundee Utd, and the Scottish Cup tie against Dundee. Last season, although they won the League Cup, they got beaten in the Scottish Cup semi final, with an easy final in sight (Celtic were out) and they lost at home against Motherwell on the last day in the game that decided who would take second place. His record with more resources than anyone else in the Division bar Celtic isn't all that impressive. I don't know enough about Bristol's situation to say if his record there was good or bad, it may be that the they didn't have the financial resources to compete with the other teams in the Division, but I don't think it matters - his record with Aberdeen isn't good enough to suggest that he would do a good job for Rangers.
