For me, last Sunday's pre / post match interviews highlighted D Mc's frailties.
I never wanted him near the Rangers job, hopefully the " bleeds blue - would crawl over broken glass " shite gets put to bed forever.
At the very least he is gutless.
To me it looks like he this more of Mutton fc than he does about Rangers.
Sadly it hasn’t and for the foreseeable future it won’t, too many allowing their bruised egos and hard ons for McInnes to colour their thinking on this.
No matter how many times they are told that McInnes had a change of heart and chose not to take the job. They manufacture another phoney narrative disparaging of the board and in mitigation of McInnes.
For what it’s worth and I am not in the know, I suspect McInnes was never the majority first choice and Kings lazy, contrary choice. I suspect that there was more than likely a first choice candidate who they had protracted discussions with who was ultimately seduced by one of the EPL jobs which became vacant in the early weeks of the process.
I think Kings early leaking of his preference for McInnes was the spark from which the media and itk’s built their false narrative. I also suspect it caused friction with the rest of the board and especially the DOF.
I think given Kings preference for a lazy hire such as DM was starting to be accepted by others on the board, especially when Murty had lost to Hamilton and Dundee. I further suspect that they fully expected a highly motivated sheep team to murder Murty’s charges making McInnes a more palatable choice.
That was as we know blown out of the water and the major doubts regarding McInnes resurfaced amongst the board. I suspect McInnes was aware of the split at board level, plus the support was very publicly split in regard to him being the right man for the job.
Of course it could have been handled better, but sometimes events overtake planning and thankfully us gubbing the sheep home and away scuppered Kings plant to institute McInnes as manager despite the fact that he was nowhere near a fit to our DOF’s job spec related to the strategic vision of the club.
I think King was guilty of trying to panic buy a manager for Christmas to appease the restless villagers threatening to storm the Ibrox gates with pitchforks etc.
