To the best of my knowledge this is a message board.Cheers for the uninformed insightful cyber narcissistic post bud.
Not much out there in terms of comments from other fans, but this was interesting:
https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/6coesm/michel_preudhomme_leaves_club_brugge/
"He is known for pushing his players beyond limits. It was also the first time that he stayed at the same club for over 3 years. Everybody knew he was going to leave."
I don't know anything about MPH, how large was his transfer budget at his other clubs?
Think he spent about 30mill in his time at brugge, so 10mill a season i guess?
I don’t know if it’s been mentioned in this thread already but given the praise for the guy, I genuinely wasn’t expecting that to be the case.
I thought he’d have been working miracles on a much smaller budget.
What is this mindlesdly repeated drivel that McInnes is happy to be 2nd?
Did you see him after the Scottish Cup final?
His comments after the celtic loss the other night suggest exactly the opposite of he's happy to be 2nd yet you also say his comments meant he accepts defeat?
To the best of my knowledge this is a message board.
People post opinions, it’s fully up to the individual reading these posts to decide if it’s pish or not.
Smarmy, sneering responses like yours help no one.
Had Walter Smith ever won a league anywhere else? Had Alex McLeish? Had Graeme Souness? A bizarre argument.
I was one of those who indicated on another thread that the Derek McInnes interview after the Celtic game was defeatist. It was hardly a great selling point for him to become our new manager.It’s up there with people greeting because they think he’ll come out before games against celtic saying he can’t really compete as he’s done that at times - being completely honest - as Aberdeen manager.
I’d love to know what planet these folk live on.
I presume that not a lot of folk actually bet on these things so a single moderately sized bet can shift odds massively. If anyone has a spare £50 in their pockets, it would be interesting to lump it on MPH and see what that one bet would do to his odds. Mr Grumpy - the floor is yours
Well, when you put it like that................06-08 - Won the league with Standard. Their first in 25 years.
08-10 - Finished second with Gent. Their highest ever finish. Also won the Cup (their 3rd ever trophy).
10-11 - Finished second with Twente. Won both domestic Cups.
11-13 - Won the Saudi league with Al-Shabab.
13-17 - Won 2 Cups, the league and 2 MOTY awards with Brugge. Also took them to the last 8 of the EL
McInnes:
- Won a league cup.
- Consistently second in our domestic league.
- Never further than third round qualifier for the Europa League in 4 attempts.
- Would cost £1m more.
I know it's not as simple as that, but on paper, it's an easy decision.
This thread has gone quite boring now without Mr Grumpy’s incessant verbal fisticuffs. Wonder if he’s down the bookies putting his bet on? Or has he been given a wee ‘holiday’.
Well, when you put it like that................
Defo been given a holiday he was powering sh*te about preudhomme for 24 hours solid, only preudhomme will do for grumpy!
Never seen anything like it to be honest. Add the fact he signed up the day Caixinha got sacked and the massive, massive trolling he was doing. Not surprised he’s gone - even if it is only temporary. No idea how - or if - he could support the team if it’s not ‘his man’.
Was Grumpy not AWK?
That doesn't disappoint me in any great way.Apparently Rangers have ruled out MPH
Was Grumpy not AWK?
And McInnes might fancy bringing him to Rangers :-oAberdeen are fucking shite...
Andrew Considine plays every week ffs
For clarification purposes...what do people mean when they say it has to be a Rangers man?
One thing I loved about Caixinha was how he saw the media for exactly what they were and how he called them out on it. Same for match officials, he was supposedly compiling a dossier on referees...the only guy in recent memory who actually stuck up for the club.
I fear that someone like McInnes or another Scottish manager would be happy to go along with how things are and that worries me.
Caixinha's media handling was shocking for a manager of his experience. The press up here must've thought they won the lottery when he took charge. He wrote their headlines for them and they knew how easy it was to get a rise out of him
Bullshit populist pandering that will endear you to some supporters in the short term, but ultimately have a negative impact on things further down the line. Was anyone even listening to him by the time he came out with the "blue blood" patter?
Just goes to show the farce that is the next Manager betting. There is more chance of Bull Struth becoming the next Rangers Manager.Check out Oddschecker to see the madness of next manager betting. Martin O'Neill is a TOP price of 40/1 and is as short as 16/1 with PP and Betfair.

It looked like McLeish every day until Pedro got appointed so I wouldn't buy into everything until the club say soI think we can forget about him coming in, as its lookin more and more like McInnes every day, which sucks
Not the same momentum as McInnes has nowIt looked like McLeish every day until Pedro got appointed so I wouldn't buy into everything until the club say so
I wrote this blog last night adding my thoughts on going down the foreign route isn’t the way to go.

Have a wee read. Appreciate any feedback
I thought it was Magic de Boer!
Just one main discussion point for me - what elements of how Celtic approach games are typically "Scottish"?
They obviously have far better players, but they look to win games by playing good football. Rodgers has even had to tell the fans he'll never go long-ball chasing a game or the likes.
What they achieved last season is what we need to aim for. Can McInnes get us there?
Did anyone think Rodgers could get the Dhims there? The simple truth is none of us have any idea how a managerial appointment will work out until after the event. Look at Everton - sign a highly rated Manager, back him to the tune of £100m+ and end up in the bottom 3 and sacking him a few months later!

Said this a while back , we might need to outmuscle the title from them.We simply aren't going to Out Football Rodgers' Celtic unless someone flings 30-40m at us to spend on a team of international footballers. Our Fans rejected this idea by rejecting Warburton when things started to go wrong.
So our option is to do what O'Neill done to Advocaat's team albeit on a smaller scale.
