Not 100% sure BUT I would think that if King and the Board decide to officially contact Aberdeen to get McInnes they would feel confident that he would accept.
I would think that the Sheep have a few Names in mind already just in case it happens with imo Strachan at the top of list.
I know finances are tight but if McInnes really wants to come then the Fee could possibly be negotiated or an agreement to Pay the £800k over a period of time rather than the whole amount Paid up front. Surely Aberdeen would come to some sort of agreement rather than holding on to an unhappy McInnes! They'll get their £800k just not all at once and prob over the course of the Season. Every Club outwith the fuds are stretched financially!
Anyways definitely think Strachan would be their first choice replacement,

McInnes must be mightily pashed off that the board paid off the Portuguese joker's side in Qatar quickly enough and let him spend around £8 mil.
Just imagine if the board had did the same for McInnes and where we might be now. Definitely not sitting in 4th place and out of Europe against a pub team.
He is obviously interested in the job or he would have ruled himself out but I'm not 100% sure he would want to come without guarantees.

Although I totally agree Naz, last time the board left Murty in charge for 6 games. It's only been 2 so far and depending on results against the sheep the decision could be made for them! We win both, it's got to be Murty! Lose both and it's Mcinnes. I personally wanted Mcinnes from the beginning and would of been angry had it not been him or Tommy Wright. Now I'm seeing the job Murty's doing and the atmosphere around the place has improved in pressers and performances, if he beats the sheep twice and having the DOF Allen in place, a coach like him keeping it simple could be what the team need. Thoughts fellow bears?
