Wize, i have already stated my worry about McInnes, i admit i know nothing really about him, BUT i think the level of football in the 1st and 2nd divisions in Scotland are not a good example to show whether a manager is good or not, it must be at a level of Div 2/BSP in England mustn't it?
Don't you think its too much of a jump in levels?

Andy,I wrote this as an answer on another forum recently and I can only say it's the way that I feel..
'I just think he's young,a successful 4 years including a promotion in his current job,Prem experience as a player,new ideas,new methods,no favourites,no prima donnas,no sodding old boys baggage with him,enjoys playing football on the ground and a complete contrast to what we've just had..
Go get him,please..... '
I've read about him on the St Johnstone forum and listened to Owen Coyles interview,for me he presses all the right buttons...

As said before know nothing about him other than what I have read online could be anything but all that is happening so far is they are being allowed to interview him and see what his ideas are.
Of all the ones mentioned so far I think I would prefer S O'D Like GJ he seems to get the best out of shall we say 'limited' players but has no problem dealing with the bigtime charlies either, they either play his way or are on their way simples.
Had he not fallen out with some of the directors he wouldn't be available so should be considered and he would also come with no connection to this team we all support, so would be able to decide without any preconcieved ideas what the best team and formation should be.
Plus he does have that essential, as with Robins, of experience of this division - Dave Jones also has this but would the fans take to having Jones here with his Bluebirds connections I just don't know if he did well early doors fine but if he struggled people might just remember the Blue connection.

He has done a great job with St Johnstone, they have beat Celtic away who would be a Premiership side here. In short, he is the man for the job.
