Mcinnes now 1/6 for the job, now bears let's get behind him no matter what.

I hope McIness is named soon I wonder if Murty will be asked to be part of the senior coaching staff

If McInnes is named then I’m behind him 100%, he will have a great honour and I’m sure he will prove to be a safe pair of hands.

My question to all the fellow bears who are championing McInnes is what are his minimum requirements?

I hope I’m not being to harsh/ unrealistic but I do not see a squad in turmoil at present or lacking quality so I would be looking for the following:

This season: 2nd place

Season 2 : 2nd place with minimum 80pts and decent crack at Europa league qualifying. (I can live with being beaten by a better team) .

Season 3: Europa league group stage and to be involved in a title race of some sort.

Season 4: As season 3 with signs of further progression.

I think these are pretty reasonable demands of someone who I don’t really fancy for the job!

Wee_Bear - This season is a finish second. Season 2 - Europa league run, compete with Them and a Cup and in Season 3 we should be looking to win the league. that's just my opinion

Sounds good to me Benny, are you in the McInnes camp?

i think he will be an amazing manager that not only get the best out of our players but will be very good with the media

Never settle for second imo. A couple of results going the right way will change everything. They haven't felt any real pressure for 5 years except in the CL and see how that went. I just think that any Rangers team in Scotland should never ever target second place

if its mcinnes who gets the job this is when we’ll see how good the players really are at present he is the 2nd best manager in the league so we should see if we actually do have the 2nd best squad a 2nd place finish and actually compete against celtic in the remaining old firm games would mark a massive improvement for me

I agree seeker, I just don’t believe DM is the man to deliver what we want. What I was stating was hypothetical minimum requirements which I believe should stand if he is appointed.

What I’m looking for is for all the DM backers to give their minimum requirements to see what they expect of the man.

IMO we are perfectly positioned in the league for a run this season if the right man is appointed. We are scoring goals and the spirit is there. My main problem with McInnes is that we are appointing a man for Scottish football only. We need a manager who can deliver Group stage Europa League and develop young players.

Point taken and well made, Wee Bear

With the pressure on him to do well he won't last till June, especially when the sheep finish second above sevco by a good number of points, and the boys win the league by 20 plus points.

If McIness is named as new boss, then I hope that Murty is a 1st team coach. I think he deserves it. McIness was not my 1st choice, but I will certainly give him support.

TO Be honest the gap only 6 points and we have seen bigger leads thrown away in the past 20 years. Celtic dropping points at home, if we go on a run now beat the dons twice in a week then I would t write us off.
