RANGERRAB

As a manager he's past his sell-by date

Mmmm.....not sure about that. Barjonas looks more middle to front to me whereas Jack's a defensive MF player.

A bigger wage bill guarantees nothing.

Good point.

Given the fact Aberdeen refused us permission to speak to McInnes I don't see how we could have had any discussions with him about transfers or anything else

Perhaps the wrong reason.

When McInnes knocked back Sunderland in the summer I thought he showed a lack of ambition. There was an opportunity to rebuild one of the top English clubs and get them back into the EPL. His stock would have risen and he could well have got himself into the running for one of the big jobs in the EPL. Now he's done it again by sticking with Aberdeen & not wanting to even discuss a move to Rangers. Maybe he's happy at a club that wins a trophy every 20 years. If so he's no good to Rangers

I think they had a list. But there was only one name on it.

San Giro next

Ironically I think McInnes has just done the Rangers board a massive favour by preventing their third bad managerial appointment

As far as I'm concerned McInnes is a bullet dodged. There is nothing in his CV to suggest he would be capable of taking us back to the top of Scottish football. We're it not for his Rangers background I'd doubt if he'd even have been considered. Let's move on....

I've no doubt he may have influenced this decision

I expect he will be unless things change tomorrow

Won't matter. They'll get put out next round in EL whoever they get

He'd be daft to do that because there's no guarantee Rangers will offer him the job.

Couldn't agree more

We live in a nasty wee country where envy, hatred & division is a big part of their upbringing for some people.

I wouldn't discount that at all. My view is the board is split regards McInnes.

Has there actually been any contact with Aberdeen or McInnes yet?

He is being considered for wrong reasons in my opinion. Mainly because he has a Rangers background. That's fine but for me his CV simply isn't good enough.

But McCall didn't get the red cards Jack gets did he? if an opposition player did that to a Rangers player as Jack did today I'd expect him to get a red card

How can the Rangers board possibly appoint McInnes after these two games against Aberdeen ? He's just been outplayed, outfought & out thought by the Rangers U20 development coach And just what is it that stands out about McInnes? Sure he's led the sheep to 2nd place in the league consistently but that's mostly without Rangers in the league. And just one LC win in nearly five years at Pittodrie is hardly outstanding either is it? I believe we'd be best to stick with Murty for the time being just a little longer til the right candidate emerges.

No chance will it be adidas. Or Nike.

And if we win on Sunday aren't we not going to look stupid going for a manager who has just been beaten twice in five days by our U20 development coach ?

I really don't want to pay Aberdeen over-the-odds compensation for a manager who has just one league cup on his CV
