STEPPS BOY 73,790 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Understand the concerns over budget but De Boer could be enticed with a basic wage plus bonus's for winning leagues, cups, development of players etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is but it's the same thing, it's taking a long time for supporters to realise we have no money. Without a share issue or further loans we're going to have to adjust expectations. Never mind trying to find a manager who can get good value from signings and not wasting what we have, unlike Warburton.

loyalfollower 1,543 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I don't think anyone has said deboer won't be interested. Of course he'll be interested if the terms are right for himself. He's not going to take the job for 600k a year when he'll look across the city and see what fake tans getting. Then there's the small matter of a transfer budget and then a wage budget. It will just not happen- no club goes from penny pinching to splashing the cash with investment or change of ownership.

It's not inconceivable and imo would probably depend on any budget more than wage (his wage will still have to be good) That's whether or not he has or will be approached Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyal Bear 72 363 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 There are no managers that tick all the boxes but McInnes ticks most. DeBoer is another massive risk our club cannot afford to take just now, that's assuming he would come to us. For me, best option for us is McInnes: Scottish manager; managed in Scotland; successful as a manager; can get best out of players; can work on limited funds and be a success; won't take silly money contract to get him.

The sheep were always getting well beat off them and raising their game for us. That's not a McInnes thing, that's a historical thing. He's established them again as a top 4 team, won them a trophy and got to other finals. I can understand some people having reasons they don't want him but he is definitely not an awful manager.

Tell him to go over to the OP and say a bit about himself and perhaps add a picture. It's not so uncouth over there. smartypants 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an awful manager and ticks no boxes for me. Aberdeen finished 9th and 8th the previous 2 seasons before he came in. Took them to 3Rd(went to last game) and then 2nd two seasons. Won a cup and think put a 10 game winning streak together. Has also had a few decent victories in Europe. Operates on a tight budget and whilst I don't know many players he has signed pretty sure he has not wasted money. Have to think where we would be if we had paid compensation for him rather than going for Warburton who was free. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
