Thank fuck That's one of the predictably boring candidates off the obvious list as and when we invite applications.

I'll add my tuppence worth, it's a Forum after all. I write this on Twitter frequently, so if any of you are on there, you'll have most likely seen it. If McInnes were to be removed, which I hope he's not, by the way, it should be mutual, like Robinson did at Motherwell, and to be honest, I am getting a bit fed up with the whole " He deserves more time " pish, we're regressing and have been for 3 Seasons now, he's in his 8th Season for fuck sake ? he's had ample time & he's paid very handsomely. But having said that, he still deserves some respect for what he brought in the first 5 Seasons. Although arguably, he's hardly over achieved or that, has he? One League Cup & a couple of Runner Up spots when the League was far weaker. Also, don't forget he has had his Playing Squad wage budget increased for a few Seasons in a row now, and there's still no improvement in sight. Anyway, back on subject, if he were to be removed, and some will scoff at this, but I really could not care less, I'd be doing everything I could to get Duncan Ferguson. Heart on his sleeve, infectious, passionate and would absolutely demand the very basics get done with 100% effort and commitment, people would want to play for him, has a positive mindset and worked with all these Youth Players at Everton that now feature in their 11, all who have raved about him as a Coach ( Calvert-Lewin, Tom Davies, Kenny, Holgate etc.. ) some of them came from other youth academies, but worked with Ferguson before breaking into Everton's 1st Team. Plus he was a basket case, even though it would appear he's settled a bit, he'd certainly not take any pish from anyone in the opposite dugout etc... I am a strong believer in mentality, he has the right Mentality. If he could be persuaded, I'd be over the moon, I think we'd get a lift and he'd always be looking at the Youth setup as well. I don't think he'd kowtow to Rangers or Celtic either, he'd probably demand we approached those types of games with the same attitude and desire as we would against a Hamilton or St Mirren etc... That's my tuppence worth, I have said for 2 years now change is needed and it would be better for McInnes to mutually agree to it before shit turns sour, and unfortunately it looks like it might be heading that way.
