It is different, in the sense that in england the sports media don't work unrelentingly for the benefit of one club via a PR company hired exclusively to said club. Clubs down south don't employ someone to play football for them while talking about another club constantly in the media (hiya kris boyd) or have a media printing pish like 'he's needs to quit now' when a managers still in place.

I suspect rangers haven't met aberdeens release clause which is why they are playing hardball,and they are perfectly entitled to. If mcinnes is stupid enough to rip up his contract then thats up to him.

But non old firm fans in scotland know when we are being spun a line of pish, and this is another shining example.

I get that the affiliation is not directly there, but all the major clubs have those reporters that they leak and give information to so that it will push their agenda.  Plus in England the media are relentless in "working" for the top clubs at the expense of the rest most of the time and manager changes come into this.  In Scotland it is different, its a smaller market, fewer players from both a club level and a media level so these things are going to be more highlighted and often more blatant, but its still essentially the same with pressure being applied to the smaller club through the media and the usual back channels.

Yup. Like you say, it's more blatant here.

I take it the SFA will now punish the huns for tapping up Mcinnis??

[edgie]

what ??
remember celtic were fined 100k for tapping Tommy Burns, much less obvious and lower profile than what's happened here.

failure to follow through would simply prove the SFA are just Rangers in blazers which we know is true

So McInnes finally dismisses Rangers overtures and confirms that he'll be managing the Dons tomorrow as usual! He is clearly no fool but certainly had a lotta Dons' fans wondering if he was gonna 'jump ship'. They'll be wondering what was the 'real story'!

Let me précis this for you: Derek McInnes said ‘no thanks'




Oh my days....

[hibeejim21]

Basically sevco couldn't afford to meet the terms of his contract and hoped he would walk away from Aberdeen. Still at the very least they have unsettled their closest rivals,took 6 points off them and moved into 2nd.

All of this happening just as caixinha takes a new job. They clearly do not have 2 beans to rub together.

And that statement is like something from north korea

[ritchiebaby]

edgie, just in case you have any doubt about my reaction, I was laughing at the idea that the SFA would take any action against Rangers. I mean, that would be persecution, wouldn't it?  

The Rangers have got other people to do their dirty work and "ra peepul" just love being hated. It's what they live for. Strange ideals, but it takes all kinds, I suppose.

lol i know Richie was playing to our hun lurkers

Hi guys, hows you doing anyways?/

now that I have stopped laughing,
Its been obvious that the huns have been after McInnis since before pedro got resigned.
I have it on good authority that jabba the hut was briefing his pet Jurnos that he was the man and to big him up.
As of last weekend and Monday and Tuesday he was telling them that it was a done deal, only some personal terms to sort.
Now this .

Why well I heard and its just hear say that McInnis was asked to pay 1/2 of the buy out clause and told he would get it back over 3 years of his contract
There was also issues about any incomings being revenue neutral and no guarantees of any funds .

So it took 6 weeks for SKINT huns to try and get 1m together to pay off Aberdeen (they failed)

As to that statement FFS, petty embarrassing, immature and so so unprofessional.
A bit like being in the pub with your mates and getting a knockback from the fat bird and trying to say you didn't fancy her anyways.

It is a great time to be a tim, 5 years ago when the real huns died, who would have though that pretendgers would still be giving us such entertainment.
In 30 years time I look forward to sipping some cold beer and looking back on the 10s and how much fun it was to be a football fan in Scotland.

Ok away back to laughing at the bitter bitter bears, apparently it all del bhoys fault

Jim, that official Rangers statement 'beggars belief'!!! It just confirms that RFC is not a 'wonderful place' or great environment to ply one's footie management eh! A shocker of a statement that should rightly pull some response from McInnes himself after some of these critical remarks!
