BigAl Posted February 8, 2021 Report Posted February 8, 2021 And here's the vote of confidence from Dave : Following speculation around the manager’s position, Derek and I met on Sunday and discussed the team’s poor run of form since the turn of the year. From my personal perspective there is no doubting Derek’s continued desire to drive success for the Club. Having qualified for Europe seven seasons in a row, and with a healthy 54% win-rate over almost 400 games in charge, it’s important that Derek focuses on integrating last week’s three new signings, and getting the team back to winning ways. The coaching staff have had only one full day’s training with Fraser Hornby and Callum Hendry, whilst Florian Kamberi will hopefully arrive in the next few days. The board met today and are fully behind Derek getting us back on track, as he’s demonstrated countless times over his eight year tenure. We’re at the business end of the season and we still have 33 points to play for. It’s critical that we all get behind Derek and the team as we strive for the best possible league finish and qualify for European football once again. Quote
LA-Don Posted February 8, 2021 Report Posted February 8, 2021 I despise when people say "well who else is out there" when someone states McInnes needs to go. Just because it could be worse is not a reason to stick with something that's broken. Saying that, I live 6000 plus miles away and am not as knowledgeable of footie at home than I used to be, so who else is out there? Big Dunc is certainly an intriguing one and one I haven't heard suggested before. Thinking out loud and a little outside the box instead of the Jim Goodwins and the like.....but not necessarily supporting......Paul Lambert? John Collins? Steve Kean? Alan Irvine? George Burley? Stuart McCall? Billy McKinley? Alex Neil? Just looking at Scots who haven't just stayed local. Quote

tom_widdows Posted February 8, 2021 Report Posted February 8, 2021 Is it not the case a football club's board backing a manager under pressure is like as a character in a war film talking about what they are going to do when they get home? Quote

Kirkcaldy Don Posted February 9, 2021 Report Posted February 9, 2021 We shall see how Mr Cormack is after he sees the sales of season tickets & dna renewals, you ain't getting £500 off me mate till that clown is gone. Gutless & lack of ambition. Let's set out to try finish 3rd & maybe get to a semi or final, fans deserve better aspirations than this. Guy on other message board summed it up great. 'The band still plays as the titanic sinks' Quote
Slim Posted February 9, 2021 Report Posted February 9, 2021 Yes we need to give our manager of 7 years time to integrate players who will be here for little more than 3 months. Quote

KennyFuckinPowers Posted February 9, 2021 Report Posted February 9, 2021 Cormack has made his position clear. Can only hope that McInnes himself sees he's taken us as far he can can, with his ability, and agrees to move on in the Summer. But given the alleged wage he's on, and the fact that I don't think he'll get a better job than ours now, he won't go anywhere on his own accord certainly. Definitely disappointed, but will always support the Club. If Cormack and Co are serious about their vision for the Club, ith the closing the gap on Rangers/Celtic & rising in the Uefa Rankings etc... they are not going to achieve that with McInnes, so they either said it to get us throwing Money at the Club, or Cormack genuinely wants that for us and sadly, Covid has put the brakes firmly on it. Either way, Derek McInnes will have one more full Season here at the very most, guaranteed. Quote
flooter Posted February 9, 2021 Report Posted February 9, 2021 If nothing else hopefully he knows he's not bulletproof anymore. If we don't get a positive result against St Mirren and then get pumped by the tims I think he'll be gone. Quote

Also he doesn't respect Sevco, unlike half the clowns in the building at the moment. Robinson is a Norn Iron hun. Quote

If you read between the lines then that statement doesn't look great for McInnes. It's basically intended to show the fans he's listening to them and knows the results aren't good enough. It then says Cormack has no doubts McInnes still wants to be here (rather than no doubts he's the best man for the job), which is damning him with faint praise. The rest of it is justification for why he isn't going to sack him today but leaves it open to sack him later if results don't improve. Statements like this always have positive fluff in them because you can't undermine the manager before you sack him, but if he was really 100% committed to keeping McInnes then I don't think he would have phrased it like this.

Just to clarify, I wasn't calling him that, more that there appear to be a few supporters that regardless of the damning evidence on show, that he is still the man to take us forward. Crichton saying it is a minority of fans that want him gone is also incorrect. Quote

I genuinely don't know the answer. I doubt you or Crichton do either. Quote

The Pure Fitbaw podcast, or whoever it is running their account, was just convinced a new manager - whoever they are - would take us down the table. It's playing it safe: "McInnes will keep us top four, anything else is a risk." As for whether it's a majority or not who want him gone, I think it's hard to say. But I'd argue the majority of those who do back him probably wouldn't be too heartbroken if he did leave. Quote

Just listen to the ex pros discussing [anything] on sportsound of an evening. For every "McInnes will keep us top four", there's a corresponding "time to freshen things up", "we need a change" statement which is equally bereft of issue-addressing and realism. Quote
