I don't think Aberdeen will sack McGhee unless they are relegated - and even then they might not be prepared to pay off his contract - but if the Aberdeen job was to become vacant I think Adams would struggle to turn it down, even though it's been a bit of a poisoned chalice over the past 20 years. I believe Adams was a Dons supporter as a boy, (his father worked as a scout under Ferguson), and according to a friend of my wife's who is a season ticket holder at Fir Park, Adams was hated for a good couple of years after he moved there because he said in his first interview that he hoped, if he played well enough, that he'd get a move back to Pittodrie. How tactful. There's also the inescapable fact that Aberdeen are a much, much bigger team than County will ever be.
It's true he's not experienced at that level, but behind Derek there's George, and his experience at three of the four biggest clubs in Scotland, during eras of success, has got to be tempting for any employer.
