I mean, Sunderland in the Championship is still a big step up from Aberdeen so there must be a shituation behind the scenes that he wants nowt to do with. 

 

We all know they're broke, but I can't imagine Aberdeen have a warchest, I wonder what else is going on?

[ewerk 29789]

I think it was a ploy from McInnes to get more to spend at Aberdeen. And it looks like it has worked as they've got a new shareholder pledging to put money into the club.

Are Aberdeen in Europe this year?

Depends if they get a second referendum or not

Makes sense, but it's still remarkable that a manager would want to ply his trade in a league that is so unbalanced that despite finishing 2nd three years in a row they've got got pretty much no chance of winning the thing. On a personal development front, surely he's got a better chance of managing in the Premier League by taking Sunderland up, than he has of a team from the English top flight taking a punt on him?

Clearly the Sunderland job didn't entice him either. It looks like confirmation that there won't be any significant funds available for the new manager to spend.

Maybe he asked Moyes (for example) if he should take the job and was told to steer well clear.

Moyes would have to stop listening to Pearl Jam and crying in a dark room first.

You reckon the monies for Pickford and (likely) Kone and Ndong aren't going to be made available to the new man to rebuild a squad?

Mackems spinning it as good news because it means they are being taken over and the new owners want their own man 

 

They haven't explained how their chief exec flying to Florida to sign up a manager fits into their delusion 

[ewerk 29789]

Not necessarily all of it. They're going to make big operational losses next year and that hole needs to be plugged by either transfer income or by Short. 

 

If they were able to raise £60m from transfers and that was handed to the manager then I would have thought that would have been tempting enough for Moyes or McInnes.

I keep forgetting Moyes walked away, rather than getting the boot.

Aye I saw that, I'm not sure why a club on the verge of takeover would be trying to hire a manager and pay for his compo to get him. 

I agree with what ewerks saying, I think he must have asked for a certain level of transfer fees to build the squad and has been told that wouldn't happen so he's told them to whistle. Utter fucking shambles of a club.

Bet RTG was awash with rumours he was a MLF until they found out he wasn't interested

[Howay 12496]

 He'd have been one of the brightest up and coming managers in the game a week ago he's hopeless now though, and now they're back pining for fat Sam.

I saw them linked with a striker from Hibernian (I think) as well so if there's anything in that, it seems their player and manager recruitment is going to be using the bare minimum

[Howmanheyman 32121]

Simon Grayson has said he isn't interested in the Sunderland job.

 

 

Also, Larry Grayson is 'shutting the door' on any chance of managing Sunderland as although he's actually dead, he still wouldn't want to be seen there.

what a fucking week they're having  

[Bizza 105]

Mcinnes and now this!

It'll be the Magedia's fault.

Oooof.
