Ongoing new manager discussion and speculation

Did you believe said director mate or was it a throw away comment

He was asked for a name and gave one.

 

As i say wheter that means we want him or have him is debatable i never asked any more.

I think this is the problem with getting McInnes. We wouldn't win the league

 

We’re not aiming to win the league this season. According to Dougie Wright on Twitter, our average wage is 6000 a week, compared to 14000 a week at Celtic. Unless that changes, no manager could ever win the league with us.

 

However Aberdeen’s average wage is only 2000 a week apparently, yet they could be 12 points clear of us by the end of the week. Our target is to win the league by 2021. Finishing above Aberdeen & Hibs would be the next step on the journey, & McInnes is exactly the right manager for this step.

We aren't winning the league this or next season.

 

Could McInnes win the league further down the road ?......We don't know

 

Could he do a job now, rebuilding the squad and becoming a more consistent team?.....Yes

 

In coming, would it be a big blow to main competitors for 2nd place?.....Yes

The attitude of supporters worries me. It does no one any good to have such closed minds towards people who could well be managing the team in a few weeks. If Derek McInnes does become our manager, we already have supporters who are not just unconvinced but are openly hostile towards him. What does that actually achieve?

The expectation levels of many seem to be on a very different level to the harsh reality of our squad, financial situation and other issues.

 

Ambition / Hope is fine but to expect water to turn into wine, is something else.

We need stability and to cement 2nd place this season and next. I want us challenging for the title in 2019/20.

I'd settle for actually winning it in 2020/21.

Things can change fast in football. Bodgers, Sinclair and a couple of others leave the Piggery and they get replaced with duds.

 

But realistically, I want us being serious contenders the season after next.

Regardless of who becomes manager we should expect to challenge for the title next season.

 

Our support expect no less. Nor should they.

Spoke to a rangers director today and he says its McInnis .

 

Not sure if that means hes a definite or just first choice.

 

That's disappointing on two counts. Firstly, I don't rate him, and secondly I think it's terrible if a director is leaking things to you. Surely this is what causes us problems. It needs to stop!
