    Derek McInnes tells Sunderland he no longer wants manager's job

    Derek McInnes has turned down the Sunderland job CREDIT: GETTY IMAGES

    15 JUNE 2017 • 5:05PM
    S
    underland have suffered a huge blow in their search for a new manager after Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes informed them he no longer wants the job.

    Sunderland chief executive, Martin Bain, had been confident of finalising the terms of a new contract on Thursday afternoon after agreeing compensation with Aberdeen.
    But McInnes has decided not to move to the Stadium of Light and is understood to have been concerned about Sunderland owner Ellis Short’s continued determination to sell the club.
    Telegraph Sport understands that takeover talks have reached an advanced stage and McInnes was concerned that the new owners would want to appoint their own manager if they complete a takeover.
    McInnes has always had reservations about accepting the Sunderland job because of the tricky financial situation at the club after relegation, but Bain had hoped to reassure him that there would be money to spend following the sale of Jordan Pickford to Everton for £25m.
    McInnes, though, has decided he does not want to take the risk and Aberdeen gleefully tweeted that both he and assistant Tony Docherty have elected to remain at Pittodire.

    Aberdeen chairman Stewart Milne said in a statement: "Given what Derek has achieved here, there is inevitably going to be interest from other clubs and in making the decision to stay, he has demonstrated how much Aberdeen Football Club means to him.
    "It is now up to all of us, the Board, staff, players and supporters to show how much we appreciate having him at the helm by getting right behind him in every way possible."
    McInnes added: "I have ambitions in the game and while there was interest from elsewhere and I did talk to Sunderland, I feel there is so much more to be done here at Aberdeen."
    The decision will heap embarrassment on the Black Cats hierarchy who believed they had found a successor to David Moyes, who quit last month as he was alarmed at the lack of money available to rebuild the team after relegation.

    Fabio Borini is also among the expected departures from Sunderland CREDIT: PA
    Sunderland have also considered Preston North End manger Simon Grayson and Burton Albion boss Nigel Clough and will have to return to the drawing board.
    However, whoever they approach will know they were not the club’s first choice, while the continued uncertainty surrounding the ownership of the club will also undermine Bain’s attempts to persuade someone to takeover.
    A source close to the takeover talks has told Telegraph Sport that the negotiations are at a "delicate stage." That appears to have unsettled McInnes.
    The problem for Sunderland however regarding the takeover, is that, although a basic price has been agreed in principle, the sticking point seems to be how much more will have to be paid to Short if the club return to the Premier League under their new owners.

    I reckon this takeover is much closer than we all think.

    Rumours now breaking that he turned us down in case the new owners don't want him.

    At this moment I'm more pleased about the thought of us being sold than annoyed about losing a manager we may only have had for a few months.

    That's a good positive view

    The current regime couldn't find their own arsse with both hand never mind find a successful manager

    I'm not sure if I really think that or if it's just to cheer me up but that's what I've been thinking for the past couple of hours. New ownership will be massive for us.

    Sam won't work for this shower of ****e Bart! I reckon he'd have walked at the start of the season had the England job not come around - much like he has at Palace!

    He's just walked out on a premiership club, with money to spend and quality players at his disposal. Why would he possibly want to come to the Championship, to a club with no players left and no money to spend, who's new owners might not want him anyway?

    You're being deluded with this Sam thing you have got going on.
