Favourite with all bookies

“But, as far as I am aware, Derek is absolutely focused with the recruitment team on getting Aberdeen ready for next season.”

 

Nice comment from the new board member

BBC Scotland journalist on twitter reporting that Dave Cormack has said no permission has been granted to talk to Mcinnes and they'll only do so on his say so.

 

Fingers crossed McInnes wants to hold out for a better/more stable job rather than Sunderland

If these words are true, and I don't see why the new director would be allow to say such things if they weren't, then it is much more positive and here's hoping Deek will be here for at least one more season to guide us through the rebuilding required.

I would read it as - no permission has been granted because Sunderland still haven't met the compensation figure we want.

 

As soon as they do that, he'll be gone I'm sure. Huge salary, amazing facilities, big support, higher profile league, potential stepping stone to the premier league....DMc would be crazy to pass up an opportunity like that. And he won't.

Read it the same way, min. It's CEO speak for "Cough up you tight hun mink".

Until Sunderland appoint someone else, I still believe it'll happen.

I'm also resigned to losing Derek. The board have to be working already on identifying potential replacements because time isn't on our side.

comp agreed according to one of the BBC journos on twatter

Fuck

 

He might still NO though

Tyrone at STV now reporting the same, compensation has been agreed.

Cormack saying the BBC are talking pish now as well

Keith Jackson has Tweeted that NO compensation has been agreed but McInnes has been granted permission to talk to Sunderland.

Our new director reminded everyone this morning that it doesnt work that way.

 

Comp agreed first, then they can talk.

Sky Sports reporting that McInnes has been giving permission to talk to Sunderland with a compensation deal close to being agreed.

Confirmed now by the club 

CLUB STATEMENT | Management Team

The club can confirm that early this afternoon Sunderland FC agreed to meet all the contractual obligations for both Derek McInnes and Tony Docherty and they have, reluctantly, been granted permission to speak with both of them about the vacant managerial position at Sunderland.

Hope McInnes has got the good sense to have a phone call with David Moyes before he puts pen to paper.

 

Wouldn't trust anything that Hun cunt Bain said.

Heavily involved in the granting of EBTs as well as having benefited from one himself.

i agree with BB in that it is disappointing that McInnes is(possibly) leaving when he hasn't achieved all that much (in terms of winning trophies) and this is the first time we have lost our biggest players in the transfer window so next season is a much bigger challenge.

 

However if he goes we can rebuild - no point in getting all hot & bothered about it - makes a change us losing a manager cause we've been decent rather than pish

 

We were always gonna have a completely different team next season - brilliant challenge for a new guy

 

 

 

 

brilliant challenge for a new guy

 

Takes a woman to put a positive spin on things

 

Well done Hebrew

As you said makes a change losing a manager because we've been decent. I'ts been over 30 years since that happened.

 

Oh........

 

I think that fact some unknown and likely no mark talent-less fool is going to be allowed to waste hard worked for cash on probably shite signings that will see us drop back to bottom six mediocrity, is the most worrying thing about it. I'd be OK with McInnes going if someone was coming in and being able to carry on with McInnes' team for a season. At least then we'd have an idea whether he should be allowed to "improve" the squad.

 

I read recently that Southampton are keeping detailed folios on loads of managers and coaches so if they lose their one they have a ready made list of who best to step in. Imagine Milne will be lucky to get an ad in the Wanted section of the P&J a week on Friday.

 

 

Funny I was gonna mention Fergie as the last one then I thought oh fuck 

 

 

Bugger!
