Because that's how it works in football. It's always been unsaid but the carry on with Van Dijk to Liverpool in the summer confirmed it. Look at the volume of folk who were surprised with how Southampton reacted saying that "this is essentially how it works". The only reason Southampton reacted the way they did was because they were getting fed up with Liverpool taking all their best players. The hun have no money there is no way they would allow public knowledge of an approach if there was any chance McInnes was not certain to agree to go. The current board would be fucked, their followers would be going mental.

To clarify, what I was saying was; I would assume when the approach to the club came it was relayed to McInnes. If McInnes had made it clear to the board he had no intention of going but didn't want to be the person to come out and say it, for "professional" reasons. That is not good enough, as far as I am concerned. If he didn't want to go it should have been him, now we are aware of an official approach, who came forward and turned it down publicly. That is irrelevant though. We know, before the hun have approached the club, "informal" discussions between the hun and McInnes' agent (as an intermediary) have taken place. I can't see the hun losing face by approaching our manager without being certain he would agree to go there. We are waiting on the hun ponying up now what we want or are contractually due, it is as simple as that. In consideration of the last few weeks, our board better have a plan in place for a replacement and if necessary treat any other club involved with the due respect. We should not be seen to be lowering ourselves to that scum clubs level.

Just put up some pictures of some ripped 20 something lad then when you meet up and they say “your not the person in your pictures” reply “Aye well, far abouts is the dog? I only came to play with the dog” Talk about ice breaker... Alternatively swipe left or right, whichever direction means you think that they’re a pig, on the profiles that offend you.

The whole fucking circus created by those cunts has fucked us. I’m not suggesting it is a McInnes led conspiracy at all. However if he had been “tapped up” by the huns, I think it’s a stretch to suggest he would be fully focussed and committed to our cause knowing 100% from him and his team could leave him with 12 points to catch following any potential move. Why would anyone make their new job harder before even starting it? Whole thing is a fucking mess, and stinks of the huns trying to create the situation we are in now and hoping that we blink first and they get him for nothing (or next to) after derailing our season. If it is that McInes doesn’t want it but professionally doesn’t want to be the one to come out and say it (hence the club rejecting the offer on his behalf) that is not good enough either, at his stage. OK, the situation we are in is not of his own doing. But our manager after two losses to them, if he does not want the job there, should be publicly ruling himself out after an official approach has been made. We are almost back to the same situation Scottish football was in pre liquidation of Rangers. Watch, as gates shrink again over the next 2-5 seasons. Who the fuck wants to pay money to watch a rigged “competition”. The media have made it quite clear there are only two teams worth playing for and managing in Scotland everything else is merely a stepping stone.

This whole sorry saga has fucked McInnes and his hopes of a successful career. Whether he goes to the huns now or stays here, he will be managing in English league 2 (if anywhere) by the start of season 19/20. His position here is untenable, and the huns don’t have £800k to buy him out of his contract let alone finding the money to challenge the tim’s. Directors and decision makers at other clubs will also have taken note, how this has played out and the two questionable performances in the last two games. Huge question marks have to be raised with regards to sporting integrity, if he has been spoken to previous to the Hun games. Would the court of arbitration for sport be interested? Surely we’d have a case for further compensation from the huns if we were to miss out on Europe or second place by less than six points? New club, still the same cheating cunts.

Empress Ballroom while an iconic gig had/has shite sound, so neither. The Etihad in 2016 was the tightest they’ve ever been. I reckon. All were on top form and acoustics lent themselves to the occasion.

What are our strengths at the minute? We are minus an entire midfield, almost. As has been seen against Motherwell, the sevco, and timothy. Tansey not good enough (on current form), O'Connor a CB, no RM at all. Shinnie, spends his time covering for Considine, who has not been good enough this season, and Christie who is not our player but I'd suggest is a number 10 ideally. We have two LM's but neither get a start and one is invariably brought on at RM. McLean has downed tools so not even worth the mention. This is where managers (good ones) create a system and convert players. Players have a month. Currently; ....................Lewis........................... Logan......Arnason.....McKenna.....(New) (New).....(New).......Shinnie.......GMS ............................Christie................. ......................May............................ I'd keep Rooney and Considine, Tansey to see if he can improve, everyone else can go in order to improve starting line up in the deficient positions. If you stick best players in the SPL in those positions we win the league, which while never realistic, indicates how close we are and again good scouting could identify those players.

I’d describe the formation as 3-1 cos fuck knows where the rest of them are.

The one I (vaguely) remember would have been early 90's. There were a few coins going over but it was definitely a half eaten pie that hit Dallas.

This... That wasn't from the Merkland and it hit Hugh Dallas at a corner (might have been against the huns) and he went down like it was a small building had fell on him?

The BBC have started their PR/spin for Sevco appointing Miller, now. http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41861574

Everything that is wrong with Scottish fitba summed up in one selection. If true...

Ha Ha, good een.

Seen this on insta before logging on here. Funny that it was all sevco fan's liking it. Jack is only just being found out, canna wait for this een. Shown himself to be an ungrateful little tink, whose agent has inflated his own opinion of himself. Will never achieve the "success" he has had here. Play him tomorrow, I'm sure he'll play well to impress the team formed to replace his boyhood heroes, then make him train with the kids. Boy can't play for us beyond Jan unless he signs a pre-contract in englandshire. Seriously WEAK management if he does, and then signs for Scotland's newest club.

Southampton paid the timothys £10 million for Fraser Forster. There's their starting point.

Sorry min but you don't understand fitba at the top level. if that's your opinion. I've heard top players describe it like chess, where they know where to play the ball because they know the formation and system, they know the players and runs they'll make, and so don't really need to look up to see the player to make the pass. It's not like they have a kick about on a Tuesday evening and turn up on a Sunday for a match half pissed from the night before... They are playing this team twice in four days it should be drilled in how to play, along with the "Plan B/C/D" if their "Plan A" is countered. The second best team in Scotland should not be knocked out of the cup by a team that contains Ryan Bowman and yon cunt goalkeeper.

I think the issue is balance. McInnes prefers to play 4231 GK Lewis LB None LCB Reynolds, Considine, Arnason RCB O'Connor RB Logan LCDM Shinnie RCDM Ball LAM Stewart GMS Wright CAM Christie Tansey McLean RAM None CF Rooney May Maynard That's why we're getting the experimentation with the formations. There are very good players there but with such over abundances in some positions and (arguably) none in others... The three forwards are far too similar, it's frustrating to watch them all make the same runs, take up the same positions and just generally get in each others way.

Didn't realise it was that Hun Cunt Carson in goals for Motherwell. Two relegations from the English football league in three seasons and he still getting a gig.

Just noticed this on the BBC website. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41317495 I picked it up on twitter end of last week and it raised a snigger, it goes (for those that have not heard it): Rom-eh-Looooooo-ooo-ooo, Lu-kak-uuu-uu-uu, He's our Belgian scoring genius, With a 24 inch penis, Scoring all his goooooals Bell-end by his tooooes. To the tune of Made of Stone. Racist or not?

What does it matter that planning hasn't been applied for and if they are so sure it won't be granted why worry enough to write a condescending letter? You would hope that the plan is for an indoor 3/4G for community use. Regardless, I can see why a local sports clubs would be against any development which might present improved facilities. I cannot understand why coaches players and parents of any youth football club would be for their kids not playing on a dog shit, rabbit hole strewn piece of irregularly mown scrub grass. After all it is character building...

Something pleasing about the sevco signing someone called Declan...

Interesting that Arnason, AOC and this guy all play CDM and CB.

I'd like to see a top CB and LB come in but think we're likely to see Moult now.

Offer Reynolds and some cash to County for Andrew Davies. See whats available in the loan market for fullback(s).

They spent £8 million this summer and McInnes would walk over hot coals to manage them. Where or how would you even begin to make them understand reality?
