Derek McInnes

[Doon frae Troon]

Turns down move to Rangers to stay at Aberdeen.

Who then rubbish him in a statement saying he is not good enough for a 'massive' club like theirs.

That is despite chasing him for at least 2 months.:lol:

 

[BrianM]

At least quote the statement properly instead of typing rubbish.

The gift that keeps on giving. Thank you Jim Traynor:

THERE has been a great deal of media speculation regarding the appointment of a new manager. We assure all supporters that they will be the first to know when we are certain we have someone with the correct qualities required by our club.

The Chairman made it clear at the AGM that the club did not consider there to be an outstanding candidate among those who had applied for the position and the club was therefore considering managers currently under contract. This requires permission from their present clubs.

The position of Rangers manager requires an ability to win football matches and the mentality to cope with the demanding off-pitch environment that goes with being the Rangers manager. This is a critical aspect of our assessment of any candidate during the interview process.

After the two games against Aberdeen, we requested permission to engage with their manager to assess his readiness and willingness to consider the Rangers position. This was declined. We were subsequently made aware by Aberdeen’s statement that, at this stage in his career, it would be best for him to remain in his current post. We endorse that position because moving to a massive club like Rangers is a big step with concomitant risk. We continue to consider candidates but will only appoint someone in whom we have full confidence and who feels he is ready for the job.

In the meantime, we have great confidence in Graeme Murty, who will continue as interim manager at least until the end of the year. The manner in which he has approached this task is a credit to himself and the club.

Absolutely entitled weapons who are clearly absolutely bilin'

You're going to have to post a link up Doon. Of the different news outlets I've read they don't come anywhere near your version.

Have not read it but sounds like the Daily Record version to me...

Saw bits on Twitter last night about possibly looking at McCall - any Rangers fans think this could happen??

As a Bradford fan I don't think he's anywhere near as good as you would want. Yes we are playing some nice football compared to our route 1 football that got us success but it's all possession stat passing with the odd break forward. He has done well in the last 18 months but don't think he's good enough for a club like Rangers.

Whoever gets it will always have it i the back of their mind that they weren’t originally considered.

McCall has already been Rangers manager, albeit on a very short-term basis.

I’d read it before you posted up, thanks. Where in that link does it say “rubbished” as Doon posted?

Yes, probably should have put looking at McCall again.

And that's "rubbished" is it? If you look at other reports you will see there wasn't agreement within the Rangers board. Some felt McInnes is good enough and some don't.

 

[Bunkermagnet]

Isn't this about as important as the Ryman league?......I mean, Scottish football?

You don't think a sneering toys out of the pram, "we'd briefed every member of the press we only wanted McInnes but now he's said no we 'agree' that the Sevco job is too big for him" isn't rubbishing McInnes?

What reports am I looking at? Rangers approached Aberdeen, clearly the board felt he was their man, clearly they felt they had full confidence in him and he was ready for the job.

Stay out of the topic then you utter weapon

The pay won't be that high there
