Elgindon Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Admittedly was quietly looking forward to a change,but it didnt happen and am not going to waste time on what might have been.Deek will be gone sooner than later,and would hope it can be an amicable happy claptastic parting. Meanwhile,if we dont have a successful turn around in players in january,I would be prepared to drop a few points if it meant we can bed a couple of young guys into our problem areas for the rest of the season.Eg Harvie at l/b with Shinnie in front of him, helping out and talking as ness.Wright deserves a run.Makes the wrong choices sometimes,but looks intelligent enough to work out the right choices. Maybe Ross for someone? Didnt see a lot from either him or Harvie at the w/e tbh,but we'll never know without a run of games.We're stagnating a bit with what weve got,so why not...

manc_don Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Nice wee radio programme this, what a legend of a kid for asking whether the Huns saga drew on so long because they were saving up https://planetradio.co.uk/northsound/sport/football-news/7-year-old-mark-interview-aberdeen-manager-derek-mcinnes/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket_scientist Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 The main reason I look forward to the day he leaves is that we can’t be the best that we can be under him. His management limitations are purely down to his personality defects. He is stubborn, he has no balls and he never learns from his mistakes.

rocket_scientist Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I heard this today from a very good source. McInnes was on £500k p.a. before the huns came calling. He's now on £750k, insane money for a club of our size. And yet Sevco offered him less money than he was already on! They took four days to answer his simple question regarding the size of the transfer budget. And they told him that they wouldn't be paying for Docherty and if McInnes insisted, he would have to pay for him himself out of his wages. It will all come out in the wash but the two things I take from this is how badly managed both AFC and RFC are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand dan Glokta Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I heard on the radio that he’s proved his ‘doubters wrong with a 3 game run’. As much as I’m happy we have won all our games, he’s far from proven the doubters wrong. If anything he’s actually been called out more since. Michael Stewart and a few others on twitter have all now mentioned our record vs the old farm and where we could be in the table as a result. For all Celtics recourses and cash it’s far from over if we actually took something off them. No doubt it’ll be another 6 point gap followed by a Celtic and Rangers doing. P.s. If that details are correct Rocket, that’s obscene!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket_scientist Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 It is indeed obscene if true, Sand d G, and I have no reason to disbelieve it. It just fits with what I believe is Mine's agenda and whilst I can't reveal the source on this occasion unfortunately, I would be shocked if it was bad info.

rocket_scientist Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Worth every penny Given that there was zero need to give him a 50% pay rise before Xmas, I can't agree about every penny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd heard he was already on a huge wedge after Sunderland, so if it has went up again that is nuts. There's no hiding the fact he has done well with us and made us presentable again, but the question marks are out this season. How he responds to them in the remaining clashes and next season are what is important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsdaft Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 It's one reason why Stewart Milne's got money and we haven't. I don't expect it will cost him a penny. He's counting on an English championship club buying out his contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoS321 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Exactly DD. It's a gamble - and probably a decent one - that if we finish second, we'll not only cover the costs of that pay-rise for the next two seasons, but also add double the difference in his salary if someone else comes calling. I wouldn't be surprised if there were conditions in there with regard to league position. Coupled with the fact that Milne could never ever be expected to get two solid appointments in a row.

rocket_scientist Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I can hardly see it as a "gamble" when he wasn't going anywhere and he's already on more money than he's worth. Our record turnover is between 12 and 15m if I remember right. Giving more than FIVE PER CENT of the total revenue to him is utter madness. But it suits Milne because McInnes is good enough to keep the fans off his back - remember Calderwood's final year. And of course it doesn't cost Milne one penny. It's OUR money he's been totally mismanaging for decades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrshire_don74 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 750k ? more than our best paid player which is unusual for any club... mind you we do have an exec on 300k per year, which for me is a far bigger issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kowalski Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I heard this today from a very good source. With all due respect there were many “very good sources” who turned out to be caught with their pants down when DM decided to stay. So I don’t believe anything anymore unless it’s irrefutable.

Elgindon Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Pre the Sunderland job offer,I thought McInnes was on around £300k,and was expected to roughly treble his wages if he went to Wearside. If all these figures are accurate,£750k seems a bit mental to be paying in our league.Fair play to Del for working the job offers though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoS321 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Are you sure your source wasn't referring to McCoist's current salary at the huns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket_scientist Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Are you sure your source wasn't referring to McCoist's current salary at the huns? My source is well known to you all and he got it from another source who is also well known to us all who got much of the details from the horses mouth as he was sat next to him on a recent flight. So no, I'm not talking about the 800k that McCoist's salary was supposedly reduced to before he got his jotters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He HAS received two massive bonuses this season, in the region of 100k and 200k, but his salary is not 750k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He HAS received two massive bonuses this season, in the region of 100k and 200k, but his salary is not 750k. There were a number of things McInnes told A who told B who told me, mostly about the aborted Sevco negotiations. On his salary, B was incredulous that McInnes was rumoured to be on that much. I'm interested to know how you know though and I suspect that it can't be as much as 750. I did say that it will "all come out in the wash", as these things always do, normally years later. But where was it reported about his bonuses/salary that you are so certain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocket_scientist Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 We all feel like assaulting Kow but let's try to repress those feelings like the time I saw him in the Bon Accord Centre. I don't see the need for repression. Surely it's obvious that this is an online forum where the possibility of acting on such feelings is zero. Particularly when, unlike you, I don't know the cunt nor indeed anyone from here in real life. To my best knowledge, one of the points of webchatspeaksites like this is to share information. It's very rare that I share or pass on rumours but I personally don't see the harm in what I did. I'm pretty convinced that 1. Sevco didn't offer enough to tempt him, 2. there was an undue delay during the negotiations (transfer budget) and even 3. wouldn't surprise me, the Docherty blockage. In the same conversation on Sunday when I learned this, I was also told what McInnes was supposedly on. We could hardly believe it but by putting it out there as I did, someone somewhere might have some knowledge to share and it appears that dunty does. If indeed he did get bonuses - and fuck knows what for and those sums are obscene - then maybe his total earnings this year will be absurdly generous. When the day comes when the cunt Kow succeeds in seeking to shut down speculation and ridicule posters for sharing it, he's missing the whole point.

rocket_scientist Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 All he said was that he didn't believe your 4th-hand speculation. On which of my four points? It wasn't speculation. And it was second hand, not fourth. You're another cunt in need of a slap. Edit: for all your bluster and nit-picking that you two get up two online, the rest of us take solace in the fact that both you and kow are so defective of personality you can't walk into the Masada or the Kings Bar or the Bridge or indeed any bar in any town or city and get on with people who were total strangers minutes before. Personalities like you two are sick from weakness, as beige and bland as the thoroughbred middle classes always are. Nothings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
