If Derek McInnes doesn’t know by now that Sevco is an absolute train wreck then I worry about him.
The possibility of Anthony Docherty having a seat in the home dugout at Ibrox appears to be causing some angst among The People.
Indeed, I’m told that that last night some dignified chaps communicated their unease about this matter to the Sevco High Command.
Perhaps these Quintessentially British fellows are worried about Mr Docherty’s rigid adherence to 4-4-2.
Yes, that’s probably it…
What I find much more troubling is that these Churchillian doubts were then passed onto the person representing Mr McInnes.
Of course, it wouldn’t be an Ibrox story if the usual stenographers weren’t carrying out their orders.
I’m told that an angry inter-galactic PR guru had his shills spouting nonsense last night about the availability of funds for the compensation package.
Any doubts about Sevco’s ability to stump up were to be haughtily dismissed on air and BBC Radio Sevco did not disappoint.
You will note that Aberdeen FC allowed Mr McInnes to speak to Sunderland.
That’s because the English club was able to pay the compensation due.
If you don’t follow follow the money on this story then you end up off the radar.

Why do the some of the sevco FC fans finish with Watp?? Oh, We Avoid Tax Payments!! That’s why!! Reprobates!!
Whot a bunch of fannies.
What sevco are you talking about , the so called celtic plc 2007.
Mcinnes was asked for job interview he took 48 hours to decide with family .
He then comes out and says hes staying with aberdeen.
Talk about trying to take heat off chairman for refusing rangers in first place.
So get it up yeh .
Watp.
ALDO: Your old club died, I’m deducing this from the 1872 in your screen name.
The 5year old club now playing out of ibrox is skint. That’s why you have no Mcinnes
Is that a concomitant “statement” ?
He was not asked for an interview AFC refused them permission to talk to him end of .
Whit does watp mean? Anybody?
Pantomime season ain’t it
Derek staying now oops.dons fans tottaly thot he had gone .oops.now it’s a family thing ..oops .bit late 4 that .poor show all round .good result for his family to stay..good luck.Johnny hibs fan.
I see the dark side can’t keep there nose out of our buissness as usual they don’t want us in league but can’t do without us we don’t need mccinnes as he’s not gd enough hasn’t done anything for Aberdeen still also rans we will appoint wen ready no rush as team in gd hands with murty so go n do wot use normally do n leave the most successful club in world cause WATP
Has punctuation and grammar, as well as Eggs Benedict and green pepperami, been banned at Owebrox by Dave King?
You couldn’t try writing that in the Queen’s English, could you? Not many readers on this particular site understand Gobbledygook.
So why approach AFC for permission to speak to him ? ” Wot we always do ” make & Break records
So McInnes is staying at the Dons. Smart man. Sevco would be a backward step in his career.
How stupid must the SMSM feel now after their failed campaign to get DMI unsettled and moved to Ibrox has failed.
What a complete waste of time and effort, including getting opinions from all the “legends” that they could muster.
Sevco has embarrassed itself yet again with its less than fit and proper conduct and PR guru spin. Scotland’s shame continues.
What now Sevco, now that any other manager approached for the job will clearly know that he is not your first choice?
Oh dear!
DM clearly wanted to go to Rangers – and everthing else was expendable – but he backed off when he realised the bampots were 100% correct about the finances – pay your own compensation and we’ll see you right – transfer warchest in an escrow account – no f##kin chance
So DM has f##ked his club, his squad, his fans, his chairman and probably his assitant and now wants his old job back
What’s that smell DM, it’s awfully warm around here, that’s not Bel Air burning, it’s your career and all those bridges behind you.
Suggest you ask Santa for some gloves and one of Monty Donn’s books for Christmas.
Some said you were very clever – yes – clever like a prize muppet getting used and abused by a sociopath board to gain 12 pts over you.- that’s awesome clever.
DM has looked under the old rusty bonnet and noticed its a car crash waiting to happen and said fuck that. Also doesn’t help that the Orc support were basically telling him he’s not allowed his long term number two to come with him.?
As others have said…including the late great Roy Orbison….
“IT’S OVER”…and thank feck for that.
Mr.McInness has decided to stay at Pittodrie.
And modesty prevents me from saying any more…:0)
Or even “CRYING” in a “BLUE BAYOU 🙂
Fred Karno’s Circus, google it, It sums the sevvies up to a T.
We’ll what did you all expect after all it is the pantomime season. LMFAO.
word now is that deek has declined the call
Any word on why he didn’t pack his bags ,IMO he has no way back at Aberdeen after the way this farce has unfolded .
strange all round
Hilarious to hear all the experts on Sportsound floating every theory except the one about the money . Desperate clowns.
Exactly the same on ssb, no questions from panel or callers the numpties that get through that is.
The Aberdeen statements if you read between the obvious lines state that.
Haha
He’s seen sense and said no thanks to that shipwreck waiting to happen
Wonder if the still have Barry Ferguson on speed dial
Seems Deek (he can go back to that now!!) going to Hovan hasn’t been the forgone that everyone assumed…
I can’t see what they are worried about Mr Docherty’s seat will not permit him to speak ex cathedra… . not even on matters pertaining to the 4-4-2… you’d think they would have other things to worry about ….
When I’m elected Pope, conclave after the next one…. I’ll send them some Papal Bulls in Latin of course once they’ve been translated they will desperately want to kiss my ring because then they will be fully informed … they could probably do with some incense the rotting hulk must be stinking… I’ll see they get some thurifers as well….
Benedicte
…sed tantum dic verbum et senabita anima tua…
..but pure dead brilliant all the same!!!
Oh dear, oh dear, Jackson and his ilk have just been made to look bigger eejits than we gave them credit for.
The fact that Kingco couldn’t cover his compo must have weighed heavily on McInnes decision, though the reaction to taking Tony Docherty with him would opened his eyes to the abuse coming his way if things didn’t pan out.
A big GIRFU to the Scottish media.
The Level 5 bill for tapping up McInnes over the last 6 weeks will be huge.
Keeping the Scottish media on board won’t have come cheaply.
Sensible fans at Ibrox must be relieved that Graeme Murty can now continue his most exceptionally, most very excellent work. A man who has taken his team to 2nd place, and if asked to continue until the end of the season, will actually STOP the 7 in a row
Heeeeee, jealousy is a terrible thing, can’t wait for ten in a row!
Hi TED,
Or should that be ‘high’ TED.lsd or thc,take yir pick???
Rather eloquent for a zombie though.
Wasn’t aware there were many/any of those ‘sensible fans’ at ayebrokes,we live and learn;although McInnes took some time to do exactly that.Hallelujah?
Thanks for the update Phil.??☮️
I have a feeling after his goodbyes at the weekend he will remain in the background, could be wrong.
How’s the search for sevco’s new manager going? Ah, taking their time to get it right. I see.
This proves my point about celtic ‘minded’/ RC going to this stinking mob for a coin. They hate us so why could you even consider even going there! Are you watching Michael Francis O’Halloran
?
And according to the stv news he has just knocked them back for the job
Just been confirmed he is staying at Aberdeen.
What a mess though for both Rangers and Aberdeen.
Win win for Celtic really.
I’m gathering Derek’s sanity is mercifully intact. He has delivered a KB.
Embarrassing backpedal looming for the Edmiston Oilers.
Back to the drawing-board I fear…
Oh dear Anthony Joseph Docherty sitting in the Sevco Bombshelter..The Zombies Really Won’t like That
You can’t tell me Mr McInnes doesn’t know about the Ibrox fascination with, errr, 4-4-2 types ?
I look up Mr McI on wikipedia today, seems he led an English chamionship side to the bottom of the English Championship.
Meanwhile, Warburton led Brentford into the Championship playoffs.
If they think Mr McI is the solution they might be disappointed.
I always said I thought Warburton was a good manager and Sevco should keep a hold of him.
Doesn’t McInnes look great in all of this.
Enough said.
Phil,
McInnes will not be allowed back in Aberdeen after this, as he has orchestrated this whole senario by going behind Milnes back.
The fans are finally catching on, That this has been set in stone for ages now.
But what is the hold up, is it Docherty, or has he changed his mind again, only time will tell.
Learned a new word today.. ‘Shills’ I like it.. very apt.
thanks Phil.
Now reading between the lines of your last few blog musings (as your readers have become accustomed to….) has Sevco told Mr McInnes that they will reimburse him the compensation that he no doubt has to pay Aberdeen in the event of his resignation?
He must surely read your blog and know that this promise comes from the glib and shameless liar?
“I’ve got shills, they’re multiplying”
Haha good piece. The gullibles think if he resigns then he can just walk straight into ibrokes. I think the delay is in that McInnes wants sevco to pony up cause if he buys himself out there’ll be no go guarantee that sevco will reimburse him as any promises wouldn’t be worth toilet paper. Mcinnes will be well aware of how they dealt with the magic hat and Pedro who hasn’t been squared up yet.
Keep up the good fight
Smells fishy, almost as if they don’t want him to take the job but make it look to the supporters like they made every reasonable effort to get him.
