MartockRed Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 I read somewhere he had to halve the wage bill from £18million to £9million, and did so accordingly. Giving thought to the crap he inherited, and the falling stone as a club we were, poor Derek was ice skating uphill from the start. Think some city fans are slightly harsh on him, we employed a rookie at this level after all. You can see him going to somewhere like Sheffield Wednesday in the future and giving it a real good go. Perhaps a case of right manager, wrong time, but then cliche of never go back is used in regards to even successful past club managers. Mccinnes wasn’t successful, so the answer has to be no in regards to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The state of the club from Directors to Academy was a total disgrace. I firmly believe that if the clear out done by him and SOD had been done before he joined City, that he would have been successful in progressing the playing side from first team to academy. I would have him back but after the way he was treated here, he would not even consider a return. Bloody hell.........now it’s being claimed that one of our previous (failed) managers was better than LJ............good grief........scrapping the barrel for a negative jibe at our Head Coach, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keepers Ball Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 Yep McInnes signed some dross. but so do other Managers. And yet with his hands tied he managed to sign Neil Danns who was an excellent Loan signing Sam Baldock an impessive forward Tom Heaton a free signing from Cardiff Greg Cunningham an excellent Title winning Left back Chris Wood on loan. Not exactly a bad player these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed and appreciate DM has done a good job and was curious to know how my fellow city fans opinions are on the guy since his position as manager at BCFC. I generally keep quiet but I read so much dross from you on a daily basis but I generally keep my opinions to myself, you could skip past and say nothing but I know you can't help yourself.

Aaron-Bcfc Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 If we were to re-appoint McInnes then you better get used to Diedhiou playing left wing and Pisano in CM. Bloke was so out of his depth it was genuinely astonishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 McWinless? Talked a good game but was way out of his depth down here. He did sign some "talented" players Richard Foster, Jody Morris, Matthew Bates & Stephen McManus, all of whom would look good in the Scottish Pub League. McManus was so carp he signed him twice. I would seriously consider other options before going scottish again. The answer is a big fat no from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCulturalBomb Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Derek McIness and one of my favourite quotes ever about the time he was here "I remember one of my first days at training; all these players parked their cars and came over the hill towards me in their red training gear. There was maybe 40 or 50 of them — it was like watching Zulus coming towards me." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
