For whatever reason, Butcher always does well up there. He has a better record than many up there. He even managed to find time to f___ up Celtic's season. Whatever went wrong here, we have to accept that Butcher is doing a fine job with Inverness.

 

[Doovster]

the board have gotten more wrong than right...

Do you include the current set up with MB, Andrew Mills and abee in that or are you talking about all Brentford boards in your lifetime? The only major f**k up that I can see the aforementioned made was re the dug outs. Otherwise we have a significantly increased playing budget (one of the biggest in the clubs history), are on our way to attaining a football academy, have just set up a development squad and by some of things I have heard the new stadium is back on. Thinking about it I agree they are getting it all wrong...

Could be MeInnes's lack of English football could be supplemented by the Breadman, then we'd have the best of both worlds

 

[Infatuated Bees Alter Ego]

The only other McInnes linked with Brentford was a dodgy chappy who had to flee to USA a couple of years back

Oi !! Oi !! Savaloy ... less of that LOL and I'm coming back for our promotion next season ;-)

I believe that may be a condition if he's offered the job?

 

[1markbee]

Scottish managers do pretty well in the English leagues so lets get him in charge.
Whoever we get will always be a gamble.

The view of St Johnstone fans seems to be that we are just a "wee little club" and McInnes could do much better

Strange one that - had to look him up but he's the current Ayr manager. You would think that he might try and work with someone from his Millwall days who knows the area.

Agreed. Horses for courses. Butcher was awful at Brentford but has proved to be a fine manager elsewhere. Which just proves to me that there is no right or wrong choice at the moment. There is no way of knowing until whoever the man is has had a chance to do his stuff. It will either work out or it won't, regardless of who is appointed. Nobody knows :shrug:.

 

[beebopalula]

I don't know McInnes . He has my support if he gets it as he has achieved an immense amount at St Johnstone on a shoestring. However, if he turns out to be a woofer appointed at Fozzy's expense, then anticipate a major fan backlash.

 

[vcmazz]

Smaller gates too. Unless they're playing Celtic or Rangers.

The stadium hosts the Scottish convention of Jehovah's Witnesses, which brings thousands of worshippers to the local area every summer. In July 2009, a mass baptism was held, which included the use of a 33-foot-diameter (10 m) pool. Over 8,000 people attended the three-day event

Audio Interview by McInnes on their win over Aberdeen yesterday, sounds like he enjoys football being played the right way.

 

[shouldbee]

Whoever our Manager is to be will have my 100% support,as you all should.

I hear Martin Rowlands want to move into management ?

Sorry we've run out of backlashes !

Ok, besides Rowlands, 100% backing.

Strange if true as he has been relitively succesful as a manager to. Although him and McInnes did come through Mortons youth team together so could be some substance in it.

Not sure about these foreign managers. Often get a language problem, if not communicating with the players, then with the fans. How are the players gonna understand instructions shouted in a broad Scottish accent with a large GP crowd cheering in the background?

Perhaps he'll move the dugouts ?, after all it's part of the Managers remit ?

Sounds like a terrific appointment to me. Played in Europe, in the Premier League and for Scotland. Sounds like a battler: Millwall boss Nigel Spackman gave McInnes the captain's armband with the comment: "Every Millwall player on that pitch should be a Derek McInnes." Got St Johnstone promotion to the Scottish Premier League after seven years in the First Division. Has a win ratio of 41% despite having to play Celtic, Rangers and Hearts. Plus he’s an outsider who will evaluate the rubbish at GP with an open mind. PMA.

 

[Billy Bee]

Personally I think Mcinness would be a great move, just spoken to a friend who is a Glasgow Rangers season ticket holder how reckons he would be a quality appointment for the Bees, overachieving at St. Johnstone and plays an attractive short passing style of football on the ground. And anyone that has learnt his managerial trade from Owen Coyle and has been linked with both the Burnley and WBA jobs recently can't be a bad thing for a club like ours so any comparision to Butcher I think is a little unfair.

A young, hungry manager which fills me with a lot of excitement for next season, so hopefully there is some truth to this.

 

[Newbee]

Thoughts from a St Johnstone fan....

Last season, we played good attractive football that yielded good results and was enjoyable to watch. This season, maybe due to the cow field we called a pitch for half the season, we've resorted to playing hoofball and failed to score home or away in the league from the end of February to the end of April. I do however think that it may have been down to not having a good enough striker mind you and he did take us to the Scottish Cup semi-finals. I like him and would be sad to see him go tbh, but I don't think he'd leave here for you guys.

Interesting appointment if true, I like.

The BBC story suggests he is out of contract at the end of this month. Would think that makes negotiations easier...

 

[Owlsmoor_Bee]

In terms of experience though, McInnes is a considerable way ahead of Forster.

 

[Ambrose_1889]

Bare in mind we may simply have asked permission to talk to him. Mills has said there are several candidates and I'm sure he mentioned getting it down to a 'final two' on Beesplayer before the Southampton game.

Unfortunately not.

Wont be a problem. If twitter is anything to go by, players would not be able to understand instructions with any English accent on them.

 

[Bungy Bee]

I believe he signed Cleveland Taylor .......lol

 

[Brentford 4 Life]

On that Jock message board they say we couldnt afford the compensation. Christ, how much does this bloke earn? Could well be a great appointment.

 

[bees66]

At least he can take Cleveland Taylor back to Griffin Park with him as a little hello present.

load of b***ocks...

from what I've seen posted today about him on here, I am not so sure

 

[Billy Bee]

so is foz

Shamefully that is not the case in terms of experience, as much as I like Foz and appreciate immensely what he's done this season, if the club want to illustrate the ambition they keep promising us he is sadly not the right man for the job.

 

[RoyBee]

Exciting - I hope we get him.

 

[Travel Tavern Bee]

Its a shame about Foz but you are correct.

 

[Travel Tavern Bee]

Maybe he wants to come to us to see some fans.......Their support is fecking pony......SPL crowds of just over 3K FFS , Managed just over 6K against Celtic.

2200 v Motherwell............sh*tE

 

[readingbee]

Sounds like this could be a very canny appointment.. just hope we do right by Fozy and Warbs

 

[Les Beeavinu]

I think they under-estimate how much a League 1 side has to play with. What's our playing budget likely to be - double, treble maybe?

 

[scruff puppy pup]

It's a shame about Keith Hill.

 

[scruff puppy pup]

They know they are skint, and it's seems a given that McInnes is leaving; they don't seem to realise we have a bit of moolah to spend.

 

[JTofBFC]

yes - let's face it, Scottish football is awful and we don't aspire to play it. We were just enjoying the team playing decent football again and there's talk of bringing in someone who will drag us back into long ball rough and tumble. Remember, Butcher did well at Motherwell.

Really is some complete boll0cks talked on this thread. McInnes is very highly rated and has been linked with far more high profile jobs than ours. Maybe Keith Hill doesn't want to work in London and maybe DeMatteo won't get out of bed for less than £1m a year. We don't know the ins and outs but if these rumours are true then to my mind it sends out signals that we are on the up.

The goalscoring record at St Johnstone this season that some people have highlighted is a bit of a concern admittedly but the SPL is not a normal league, it is dominated by two teams and to get an unfashionable team like St Johnstone to 8th for the 2nd season running above the likes of Hibernian and Aberdeen who will have much bigger budgets is no mean feat. The goalscoring record at St Johnstone in 2008/9 when they finished as League 1 champions and in 2009/10 when they were one of the highest scorers in the Premier League finishing 8th also seems to have been completely forgotten by some amateur stattos !

Won't please may of the jock haters on the GPG mind you if it turns out to be true but I won't be grumbling.

 

[BYFLEET BEE]

Do you think Warburton recommended McInnes to the board, Both scottish, both have Watford connections.
McInnes as Manager, Warburton No 2.
