Brentford ready to unveil McInnes as new boss
May 8 2011 by Alan Nixon, The People

Brentford are ready to name St Johnstone’s highly-rated boss Derek McInnes as their new manager this week.

The Bees have made an official approach for McInnes, the young gaffer who stepped into Owen Coyle’s shoes when he left for Burnley three seasons ago.

McInnes may be tempted by a chance to follow his mate over the border and the plans and finances of the London club could tempt him to quit Saints.

The 39-year-old has been tipped to move on for a year or so, ironically being short-listed for the Clarets job a few months ago.

McInnes is heading for talks with the Saintees in the next 24 hours to discuss the approach but it seems certain that he will head to Griffin Park.

The former Rangers midfielder has told pals he fancies a new challenge and is prepared to move from the SPL to League One.

Interesting.

Agree. This thought that if Forster doesn't get the job he could have a job in some other capacity at the club is absurd. Look at Barnet/Crewe. How many times have Fairclough and Gradi come back into the "hotseat"? The difference is both of them are much older. If Forster doesn't get the job I hope we do right by him, at worst place him on "gardening leave".

Not sure how that benefits us or Nicky really.

Very feasable what with the SPL not finishing until the 14th May, which would explain the 10 day wait. doesn't exite me one bit though if true

Blimey, talk about a dark horse. Never heard of him but St Johnstone have certainly done well in the last three seasons. Do his teams play ' fitba' ?

Not very exciting if true and sounds like it could be, if true a bit strange going for someone in the Scotish league. Would rather someone who knows the lower English leagues by a long way.Don't think this would get season tickets sold en mass.....who knows!! would much rather someone like Keith Hill

 

[Bigbee]

The SPL standard is similar to the Championship . St Johnstone sit pretty comfortably mid table and McInnes got them there . Their ground looks sh*te though .

 

[djheavens]

Hea has played south of the border for Wesy Brom and Millwall so knows the leagues im sure.
He's young and has built a decent rep already so i am quite positive about this to be honest.

 

[nocoat]

not hard to be mid table there is only about four teams. just checking the table now. Inverness Cally T are 7 points better off that Saints

 

[Doovster]

Most Scottish managers seem to do rather well in English football if I'm not mistaken. If he was on Burnley's short list he's no mug.

Know nothing of him as a manager but I trust our board to get this one right.

He might know some scots willing to make the move up the football ladder from spl to league one.

Could be good, never heard of the guy until today and agree his name wont sell season tickets but how many extra tickets would be sold for a 'name'? Not many i'd wager. If its true then i reckon we could be on to a winner.

Born in the Glasgow area, which has proved a breeding ground for great managers - Ferguson, Stein, Dalgleish. If has the same drive and will to win could be a very canny appointment

Nothing on their website......sent them an e-mail anyway to find out if it is true or not....

 

[Raybfc123]

Nope but i think this may have a lot of substance especially as we're waiting 10 days which would signify waiting til then end of the SPL season on the 14th May, I'm a bit concerned that he's never seen any of our squad and will take him time to sift through the players we need to ship out, once that job is complete i'd then be a bit concerned as to who he would bring in to take us to that next level, his knowledge of players in the English lower league must surely be questioned.

Guess we'll see

 

[hitchinb]

................the same was said of Mr Butcher........................

exactly right. I am very alarmed by this report and really, really hope the board does not pursue it. I think we should stick with Fozzy (though I had my doubts at first, he's proved himself). If not that, then we need someone who has proved themselves in English football. No stupid gambles please.

 

[gidz3000]

WE NEED DI MATEO!!

 

[GP200]

WE NEED DI MATEO!!

..........................dont think we are getting him..............................

 

[walkerbee]

not the marquee signing some would hope for but then the last time we did that look what happened....
have no reason to believe Di Matteo would be much better given that he's only stuck around at clubs for short periods and never really shown any aptitude for building a team. McInnes seems to have done this to a level higher than we are currently playing at.
Given that this has come out of the blue I wonder whether this has come from MB's own extensive scouting network associated with his business....
could be a very shrewd appointment although I wouldn't be surprised if he needs a season to bed in and get used to the english game...

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Interview from February here. Seems a sensible chap with the right ideas.

[Bigbee]

Funny old game innit ? We possibly all want a high profile manager but maybe we will get one who's name hasnt been Googled so much as it will be from today . A unheard of nobody can be turned into " shrewd " . !

He still gets paid his wage, but is free to talk to other clubs. I'd be very uneasy having a former manager hanging about the club.

 

[absenteebee]

mmm, if it wasn't for the people report, my £ would now be on Tisdale...

Sounds like Nicky knows he isnt the boss, a few other posts on here have suggested it also.

 

[bees66]

oh dear, just looked at the players stats on the BBC... awful... I do hope this isn't true.. League 2 clubs could finished 4th in the Scotish Premier league just as easy

[bees66]

The SPL standard is similar to the Championship.

if Butcher can do well in it.. then it's league 2 at the max

 

[Beeophile]

The SPL standard is similar to the Championship . St Johnstone sit pretty comfortably mid table and McInnes got them there . Their ground looks sh*te though .

I really disagree, the SPL is as a whole, league one standard. I would bet my liver that the top half of the championship would beat any spl team more often then they would lose to them. The Old Firm are typically mid table championship and on their best day premiership relegation fodder. Hearts, Hibs, Dundee Utd, M'well and Aberdeen would be mid championship to upper league one most seasons and the rest are firmly league one or below.

If we do recruit from the spl, budgets and wages would be a massive incentive. I imagine MB could probably provide a war chest to match that of a mid table spl team.
If it's true, it's nice to see the club looking outside the box and the 5 or 6 names banded about for the last 6 months.

What style do the St Johnstone play, tippy tappy or percentage hoofball?

 

[Hanwell_Bee]

Absolute crap appointment if true.
Would rather stick with Fozzy and give him a pre-season and time to get his own squad together.
Really Really not impressed at all and to be honest would have expected better!
is this another "cheap" option?

 

[Les Beeavinu]

lol keep up

I was adding a link for interest. Did you not the see the front page article?

 

[Doovster]

Bit selective. Others comment he would be mad to come to a mid table league one club when surely Championship clubs will be in for him next year.

Always good to get a balanced view.

 

[Adam]

I think I'm right in thinking st johnstones recently went 75 days without scoring apart from 1 own goal. Not good.

Are you an expert on McInnes then? Do enlighten us why this would be crap?

And how have you come to this conclusion? Because he's from the SPL?

We have no idea who has applied, who has been interviewed, who has been approached, who has been rejected etc We can all say "we want so and so" but it's whether they want to come or not. I bet a few 'favourites' of the selection board have turned us down. Maybe not even bothered to come for an interview to play us off with their current club. Who knows. I've no doubt we'll all be underwhelmed, but we're still Bees at heart. I'll be there no matter who it is. Even Butcher was lauded and look what happened to him at GP and look at him now!

Maybe it was AS's influence that saw, possibly, our greatest manager sacked?

All I know about him is that he had a really good reputation when he was at Millwall and was seen as a future coach/manager and highly spoken about.

Right out of left field but highly interesting - another Owen Coyle perhaps?
