Don't think Preud'homme would come to Scotland. Don't think he's a long term appointment if he would. Calderwood was in the UEFA Cup when it was 1 round then the group stages. McInnes is beating better teams than that every time before getting knocked out in the 3rd round. Granted Calderwood then qualified in 3rd out of 5 with 1 win then got a home draw with Bayern. McInnes would probably pull off similar every season if it was still the same format. McInnes is only 46.

McInnes: - Won the Championship with St Johnstone - Kept them up and mid-table for the next 2 seasons - Took over a basket case at Bristol City that were rock bottom. Kept them up then cost cutting saw them back to the same place - Took over 9th placed perennial shambles Aberdeen - Won the League Cup - Finished 3rd in the last kick of the season - Knocked Groningen out of Europe - Finished 2nd with a record points tally - Knocked Rijeka out of Europe - Finished 2nd - Finished 2nd with another record points tally, got to both cup finals, lost in the last minute to a side with 20x the budget (mastered tactics and learned from the previous final) The facts.

Genuinely what do you think they would need? £30-40m to get anywhere near that level. To win what? £2m in prize money. Then a punt in CL qualifiers. And if it doesn't work, they die. Can't say I'm shocked no-one's pointing the finger at Stewart Milne for a genuine title challenge just now. Maybe should have done it 2 seasons ago.

No one takes these statements or even the club's seriously anymore. Written as if by a teenager having a strop.

Signed a bunch of utter duds. Gave big contracts to his old mates. We'll be worse than under Warburton this season. Comfortably outside top 2. We missed the boat with McInnes who will move to a decent English team after his next success.

I've always said McInnes. The replies were laughable. Stuff about him not winning the league, on fucking Aberdeen's budget for fuck sake. Losing to 'diddies' from Kazakhstan in the THIRD round who were actually backed by gas billionaires.

Incredible stuff. We're fucked for years with complete nonsense like this.

Absolutely laughable we went for Pedro and have now been left with Warburton and his shit.

I believe it was the 2016 meet the manager Q&A or whatever it is thing McInnes does that he said he was offered it in 2015. That specifically was when he signed a long term deal instead.

McInnes could have taken the job about 3 times already. We've gone for the no compensation option and he's used it to bump up his contract every time. If anyone thinks he hasn't thought about exactly what he's going to say on every matter they don't know enough about him. He's poo-pooing Pedro's work, geeing up his fans as you can see from the comments on twitter, and if the worst comes to the worst tomorrow night our fans will blame having a mouthy manager etc as you can already see on here when nothing's even happened yet.

I got banned for saying McCoist wasn't good enough about 12 months before that was acceptable. You mean that team bankrolled by a gas billionaire with the likes of Arshavin playing for them? Helps to know what you're talking about. Why didn't you mention him thrashing the Croatian league leaders 3-0 away in their only home defeat for 90 odd matches and knocking out the Dutch team as well. With the resources he has is basically miraculous. No but bring in this nobody cos he has a fancy name.

This is absolute nonsense if this happens. 2 months time we'll have threads saying get McInnes in before the European games.

They lost 4 games. He beat them twice in 90 minutes. It's a myth how bad they were last season. They had 17 midfielders on their books. McInnes was always one injury away from catastrophe. Can't be serious with the 30 points behind them at the moment? His entire senior wage bill is £1.8m, he's spent 175k on 1 player in 5 years and they train in local parks. How close do you think he'd get us with 6 times those resources, a transfer budget and training facilities? Still my choice above anyone just now.

I'm in.

I know it's cool not to watch any other football but I don't believe anyone knows a thing about Hayes going by the comments. That, for 0.7 goals a game, would be an absolute bargain for £1m and if it isn't I'd like to know who is.

If a ratio of 0.7 goals/assists per game isn't worth £1m when our entire team's is 1.3 per game then I have no idea what is. If one of our players had the same record we'd be touting him for millions.

He's got 8 in 20, plus 6 goals in the league and 1 in EL. Windass has 4 in 13 and a goal against East Stirling. This Hayes isn't good enough or worth the money line is just madness.

Couldn't you? He got more assists last season and has more assists this season than any player in the league, including the ones that have been bought for millions. So who is worth more than him?

Top of the assists table last season and this season and player's player of the year nominee and international player. Poor player.

Signed up just to reply to this before 50 others got in before. I've been right on the edge, due to a financial black hole, work stress, failure. All while hiding it from everyone. Words can't describe the mental distress, pressure and utterly despondent existence. The only suitable analogy would be calling a man on fire jumping off a burning building 'selfish'.
