  1. “I wanna exhume the body Sam!”
  2. Both he & Andy Kirk involved at Brechin, Levein as an advisor & Kirk as manager
  3. Cue 5,000 pairs of Sambas getting thrown in the bin
  4. Blue velvet smoking jacket for me - ding dong!
  5. We'll probably get the blame for that indoor pitch at the Masters tournament too
  6. Thoughts with sons Dominic, John & Taribo
  7. "Hi gaffer, it's Elliott Anderson here - can you give me a ring when you get this?"
  8. Given his track record of short-term managerial appointments, you may well get your wish
  9. Pity Gattuso has just rocked up at Marseille...
  10. If its a toughening up exercise that's needed, he could go to Inverness - if the manager joins in the training...
  11. What about Richardson & the "scouting system"? Or the players who have almost exclusively been brought in by McInnes & him? Would we need another period of "it'll be better when he gets his own guys in"? Surely its better with a manager/coach who has an input to these things, but not carte blanche as McInnes has had? I just think he's here for the long haul, as the board have heavily invested in him making things better.
  12. I had fairly low expectations or hopes for this season - low to mid table mediocrity but without any danger of relegation - and I'm not sure that even that is achieveable at present due to the goals we're losing. I think the team is potentially better than last year's (Kennedy & Magennis) so I still have some hope of improvement, depending on whether Dallas can get up to speed. My main concern with binning McInnes would be that everything has been structured around his appointment - players, backroom staff, scouting/recruitment etc. If he goes, and they follow, we're back to square one, with the board looking for replacements. I believe there needs to be a permanent structure around the footballing operations side that is not dependent on one man i.e. the manager - whether the board have the experience or the ability to source these appointments is a matter of concern.
  13. At least he can enjoy a steak pie at the match now
  14. Difficult to count with six fingers on each hand.
  15. Has he asked for that thing in golf where you get another go? Whats it called again?
