...claim the bookies and tabloids.  Getting touted as frontrunner, although I seriously doubt he would be that mad - he's outlasted 6 Sevco managers now.  Six. 

My hun mate is hoping for Mike Ashley to sell his stake in the Toon and invest in Rangurs. Apparently Ashley wants European football and this could be a platform for getting a business foothold abroad. I reckon that could be contrived thinking, particularly post Brexit. Most huns want big fat corroupt Sam.

 

No way do you have mates!

 

 

Oh mind you..a hun.

 

Carry on

Sevco it isn't then...

 

In the mind of the hun, they are the people. They don’t live by normal rules. The EBT thing was something they were entitled to do. HMRC can go fuck themselves. Money is never an object because they are a big club, housing tens of thousands of like-minded knuckledraggers. So Allardyce is who they want. What they want and what they get can be two different things of course but it’s interesting how the integrity of the man is something that they don’t consider. They’re not overlooking his corroupt bung nature. It just doesn’t compute as an issue for them. He would be a perfect personality fit for this horrible club. Unfortunately he would be effective would be my guess.

I don't think the huns would really want him as manager, this is based on his record against Celtic, not just taking the results into account, but our painfully abject performances against them and us supposedly being their closest challengers.

 

I honestly don't think McInnes would cope with the pressure which would come with the Hun job, or any other big job for that matter.

 

 

Chris McLaughlin saying Sevco will approach wiggy this week to speak to McInnes 

Jist mind it's the weegia reporting all this.

The WEEGIA!

Going to go against the general consensus on here by the look of things, but I actually think he will go, IF they actually approach him and comp is agreed.

 

There are a few little reasons though in where I think he would stay, and they are the likes of Stevie May & Joe Lewis joining because of him, along with a couple of other players obviously. Also the stadium go ahead would have a huge pull as well. Add to that the Zombie bastard's well documented off field drama's.

 

On the other hand though, if we are all being honest with ourselves, making us the 2nd best team in Scotland is about the most he can realistically do considering the finances available to him, and those finances won't change any time soon, and whether they actually have it or not, the Zombie's will use available money as a lure to him. He does have a slight affiliation with them, but never striked as me as the stereotypical buffoon that usually comes out of there ( John Brown, Terry Butcher etc... ) There's also facilities in place there that could prove a swing for him, much bigger wage budget, much bigger fan base and all that shite that goes with it.

 

If it's going to happen, it'll happen this coming week. 

And given Celtic's resources making sevco 2nd best is Scotland is all he can realistically achieve there also. However given the resources available, sustaining Aberdeen in 2nd is a greater achievement than getting sevco there where the fans would demand they then overtake Celtic. If it didnt happen by the end of his 2nd full season there (which it wouldnt without mahoosive investment of funds) he would find himself bulleted and reputation tarnished.

 

His ambition to manage West Brom has never been hidden. I think he will reject any sevconian offer ( I presume sevco are already aware of the release fee.....amazed they can afford this)

I hope if Rangers do meet the release fee/value of his contract, we insist on cash upfront.

That goes without saying

The compo is only the start.  I don't think the weegia can comprehend the money McInnes is on, in particular to secure his last contract.  And, unless he is a hun nutter, which I suspect he is not, he will want to see a humungous budget available otherwise he will take two seasons to confirm second place at best and that means he'll be sacked.

It's a win win for me.  I like him, I hope he stays, but if he goes we get the funds to play the market.

Derek McInnes WILL NOT be the next Sevco manager

 

My prediction is that by Thursday at the latest, your prediction will be wrong.

As with most things time will tell.

I still stand by my prediction Rocket.

Much as I see and despair of Derek's limitations, I hope you're right and I'm wrong.

 

It's just not good losing anyone to them. However capable or otherwise they might be.

 

They would be 2nd in the league if he goes. AFC would be fighting for 3rd.

 

There's very little management talent for us to pull from.

 

I just can't stand mediocrity. In anything. There's no excuse for it.

I’d love to see him at West Brom one day. It’s inevitable he’ll leave Pittodrie some time soon and I’d rather it was anywhere rather that Ibrox. EPL clubs are obsessed with foreign managers. He may not get a chance at The Hawthorns.

The Rangers have no chance for YEARS to challenge Celtic for the title. Even if the huns won both cups every year, their fans would still be not happy. Whoever takes the job is taking a poisoned chalice.

A couple of days ago I was asked how many English managers have won the EPL. I didn’t know and I couldn’t think of one. The answer is zero. Howard Wilkinson at Leeds was the last Englishman to win Division 1.

I’m not so sure. Celtic aren’t invincible. As Kilmarnock showed yesterday and as Dundee and Hibs have shown recently.

 

I’m dying to find out why Rodgers is despised by certain ex players at Liverpool, famous and hugely successful ex players who didn’t actually play for him. Something went on behind the scenes. I can’t warm to Brenda. His smugness offends. I would love to see him under pressure.

 

Even we with a team full of journeymen have had chances to compete with them. Even this season we’ve picked up more points than Celtic in all the other matches, the same old story of the head-to-heads being the downfall. McInnes isn’t a winner. He’s not clever enough tactically and he can’t inspire sufficiently when it matters.

 

If Rangurs recruit a good manager, they can challenge for the title. They’re so poisoned though that they keep on getting it wrong. They know fuck all about football if they go for McInnes.

We were looking at Pedro’s past. His best win ratio was 45% as a manager, for teams we’d hardly ever heard of. His 14/27 at Rangers was the best he’d ever done. It was a crazy appointment. As Kenny Miller proved at Murrayfield yesterday.

Great statistic.

Season 91/92 if Wikipedia is to be believed.

Since the money grabbing Joke league was created the winning managers have been as follows

 

1992/93 - Scottish

1993/94 - Scottish

1994/95 - Scottish

1995/96 - Scottish

1996/97 - Scottish

1997/98 - French

1998/99 - Scottish

1999/00 - Scottish

2000/01 - Scottish

2001/02 - French

2002/03 - Scottish

2003/04 - French

2004/05 - Portuguese

2005/06 - Portuguese

2006/07 - Scottish

2012/13 - Scottish

2013/14 - Chillean

2014/15 - Portuguese

2015/16 - Italian

2016/17 - Italian

 

 

I reckon the first Spaniard will get added to that list this season.

 

Amazing how often SAF won it. The other Scotsman, Dalglish at Blackburn was probably with Leicester and Ranieri the most unlikely winners.

Quick glance at the stats

 

In my lifetime only 7 English top league titles have been won by English managers

 

19 have been won by Scottish Managers

25 Scottish and 19 English in mine.

 

More than half were SAF. There were 10 Engerlish in a row from the mid 70’s!

The 1st, 2nd and 3rd non Scots or English was one Frenchman, Arsène.

On topic, if Rangurs offer, McInnes is gone.

 

The best manager in Scotland is Steve Clarke. Give him an offer to leave Killie.
