He's also succeeded (by keeping them up after being adrift). If our criteria is to find someone who has never failed we're gonna be looking for someone who's never tried.Other than the fact he's failed already at that level

Yeah I'd probably agree with that on the face of it. What I can say, though, is that McInnes isn't a bad candidate because of his lack of first hand SAFC knowledge. And if the decision making process on selecting the successful candidate is objective I don't mind a bit of limited croneyism in the selection of the shortlistThis of course is a sensible post but appointing Mcinnes smacks of croneyism. I'd much rather have Schwartz, Jokanovic, Wagner or Stam.
So he took on a poor squad made poorer by losing their better player(s) and they were even worse by the time he left? Sounds a perfect fit. BHH.
I must admit this was my first thought on hearing Walter was being consulted. Nifty move if they can get away with it mind!The sevco lot will do anything to take up Aberdeens second place. They are obsessed with the Dons.
I think that a lot of that 'whole club' remit will (and probably should) fall to Simon Wilson. The next manager should have a clear understanding of what he needs in the first team to succeed and strong organisational, tactical and motivational skills but I don't think he'll be expected to write the theme tune and sing the theme tune.I know your right. He would not be my first choice but whoever comes in needs to look at the club as a whole and not just the first team, seeing the average age of the Ajax team really showed us up at just how badly we as a club (and most Premier League clubs at that) are ran and massive changes are needed.
Who should he listen to?
He should be going cap in hand & offering BSA anything he wants to take the job.
Let's face it, there's no guarantee whoever takes the job will be a success and ultimately our next manager will either be a huge success and piss off, or be a failure and be sacked. Either way it's unlikely our next manager will be here longer than four years at the most.
This is where I think we go wrong big style and has probably been brought on because of our sheer desperate state we have been in for the last 5 years or so. I think a manager should come with his own team, ranging from Youth coaches, physios, first team coaches etc. This way, the club should know what they are expecting and straight away you are buying into that managers identity for your club. I realise it would br a massive gamble, especially if you end up with say Moyes who has been quite possibly the worst appointment known to man! but get it right and the foundations could be laid for years. You look at the mis-match of coaches and personnel last year and it does make you realise what a mess we are in. (WTF does Bracewell actually do for example?)I think that a lot of that 'whole club' remit will (and probably should) fall to Simon Wilson.

For my part you couldn't be more wrong, and elsewhere on this forum you'll find posts to that effect.7th or 8th, don't be so belittling. It's all wishful thinking on your part. It would suit you if we are in the championship for years to come. We'll be back up next season.
I just see that as a pipe dream - for any club regardless of stature. With managerial tenures being better measured in months rather than years it's impractical to give that sort of power to someone who won't be here in a couple of years. Things like identity, youth activity, scouting and sports science need to be owned by the club imo. Now that will mean that we will have limits placed upon us with regards to managerial candidates but there's a big world out there beyond here shores - and none of those fuckers expect (or even want) that level of autonomy. The era of the all powerful manager is over. We need to accept it, commit fully to the new ways (something we're yet to do) and get on with things.This is where I think we go wrong big style and has probably been brought on because of our sheer desperate state we have been in for the last 5 years or so.

Spot the odd one out! Why is Schwarz included with those names?This of course is a sensible post but appointing Mcinnes smacks of croneyism. I'd much rather have Schwartz, Jokanovic, Wagner or Stam.
We are not a " unique club", ffs how Magesque.You would have thought he would have learnt by now but if the media is correct and we are after Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes because of a recommendation by Walter Smith.
Why would we be even considering anyone suggested by Walter Smith? Does he know anything about Sunderland or even the Championship?
Sunderland is a unique club and it will destroy the wrong Manager. It needs a Manager who understands the Club and has a link with it's history.
Derek McInnes, taking his Scottish jobs aside has been very poor. Slumps of form at Bristol City, 7 consecutive defeats. Appointing him will be one of Short's biggest ill advised disasters.
Can we drop the Scottish connection, thinking that anyone who has done well in Scotland brings any credit.
Jackie McNamara did well at Patick taking them to a Cup Final, at Dundee Utd he also got them to a cup final. At York he was a disaster, taking them into Non League where they are still struggling to recover now.
Success in Scotland should be taking with a pinch of salt.
