Barrheadboy 16 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 There was a rumour doing the rounds that the delay in approaching McInnes was down to Mark Allen as DOF not fancying him at all and putting forward Steve McLaren as his preferred appointment. The Boatd rejected that and insisted on McInnes,when that went pear shaped it was back to,Mark Allen ,maybe he is still pushing for McLaren and there us still boardroom resistance., hence the continuing delay. F true why have a DOF if you are not going to take his advice? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has always been a good No.2 and coach but never a No.1 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 743 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Isn’t it now with DOF it really is a head coach role now? It is but McLaren isn't a good head coach unless he has a manager with him. Head coach IMO is still No.1 for footballing terms. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barebear 37 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 He ruined us for decades and failed at the first serious challenge despite spending what? 100 million on players. Ok. Flo was a spectacular failure but winning a treble and having great runs in the CL is no failure no matter how much he was allowed to spend. His record compared to Brenda’s at this stage stands up very well. There’s no doubt he was a check book manager but he only spent what he was allowed to by Murray, and as I said, the signing of Flo was bad but he signed some great players who gave great value to the team for years. Blaming Advocaat for our financial mess is harsh when Murray is clearly the culprit. His final season was poor, but what about Walter’s final season after 9IAR? Does that make him a spectacular failure? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,195 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Anybody ever though we should have held on to Waghorn or Garner rather than bring in the luxury of Herrera who largely warms the bench? Waghorn is one of the top scorers in the Championship with 10 goals and 5 assists. Might have been a perfect foil for all the crosses an in form Candeias whips in. Waghorn, yes Garner, no thanks. Pretty sure my 13 yr old could have given us more than Garner. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has always been a good No.2 and coach but never a No.1 He hasn't ever had to coach in as poor a league as Scottish football though. McLaren or McInnes ? Can't believe I am saying this, but I would take McLaren every day of the week. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong rumours on FF that all is not well between Allen and the board and there could be a parting of ways shortly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
