fine-n-dandy Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 I hadn't thought of it like that. Gut still says they'll go for a similar type of appointment but I guess we'll find out soon enough. Can't say I'm bothered too much either way. To be honest I'm not bothered either but I would be interested if Jimmy got the gig. It would be a good gauge of his level & how 'good' he is.He done well with Pars (but left them in the shite cos over over spending & no youth policy)He done well with us (but then stagnated in all honesty)Arguably done well with Killie in that he kept them up but they couldn't afford to keep him (or maybe his spending hopes/plans)Same as above for Ross Co St's would be a good team for us to really judge him on whether he's really the great manager that some think, or an average manager that others think, or an over spending poor manager that others think.Put it this way, if he goes to them & they stay as they are now (he's on a Par with their previous managers ) He takes them onwards & upwards & strengthens them then he's proving some doubters wrong. He brings them down & leaves them in the shite, then he's proved his doubters right. I'd like to see him getting the gig out of sheer curiousity & nothing more really. Not to help or hinder one of our rivals. Link to comment
NorthernLights24 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I thought of him too. Think it is a great job for whoever takes over, and don't think they will be short of applicants for it. I personally think they will stick with the approach they took with their last 2 appointments. Anyone got any idea how much money they received in compensation for McInnes? Over Link to comment
Stoneybloke Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Has Aluko found a club yet?Is he bothered? Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 Is he bothered? Either nae earnings & get fat or find a club & get paid & stay fit. Ken what a REAL football player would want but............. Link to comment
RAZOR Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Is he bothered?He must really have a hatred for Aberdeen. Link to comment
K-9 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Waiting for the "i'm not applying but if they want me they can give me a call" quotes in the papers and on radio. Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 He must really have a hatred for Aberdeen. It does speak volumes.... he's had a contract on the table for months, yet he's preferring to draw job seekers allowance instead! Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Waiting for the "i'm not applying but if they want me they can give me a call" quotes in the papers and on radio. From his twitter account: "St Johnstone are a wunderful club, big Cillian, wee Jody, big Duberry, wee Paul Wright. They've seen what a healthy tan can achieve." Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 It shows what the fake JC account knows, should do his research on players before tweeting shite. The fake JC is obviously taking the piss... the referencing of Paul "The Plook" Wright is a bit of a give away. I'm sure he's well aware that Duberry is long gone too. Link to comment
WILCOCK Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 If St Johnstone have any ambitions about achieving top 6 every year then James Calderwood is their man! Link to comment
ebbe Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 If St Johnstone have any ambitions about achieving top 6 every year then James Calderwood is their man! with a budget of almost zero aye?! if that clown took over they'd scrape 11th and he'd quit at the end of the season claiming working under such stringent limits is hindering his glowing reputation in holland and he did all he could.

Redstar Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 If St Johnstone have any ambitions about achieving top 6 every year then James Calderwood is their man! Good God!!!....I wouldn't trust the perma tanned Hun C*nt to run a bath never mind a SPL team ever again Link to comment
deco_1985 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Has Jim Jeffries been linked yet? Link to comment
Scarface Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Has Jim Jeffries been linked yet? Favourites are Gary Bollan, Davie Weir, Jody Morris, Alec Cleland, Graeme Jones and Paul Sheerin. Notable that their recent appointments have been rookie managers like Owen Coyle, Billy Stark and Derek McInnes so my money would be on Geoff Brown steering clear of the likes of Jefferies and Calderwood and going for one from the above list.

I'd like to see him given a crack at it. Bollan, Davie Weir and Cleland and I would be hoping for them to crash and burn!! Link to comment
Jazzer_Bett Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Derek Adams maybe, given where Ross County are sitting?Paul Sheerin has done well at Arbroath too, but that would be a big gamble. Shout Harcus - i'd like to see if Adams can do it at SPL level, as his move to Hibees following a very successful 1st spell at County was a strange one to say the least. If he can prove himself he could be a contender for Aberdeen post Brown, amongst others. Link to comment
knighto Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Bloody, hell, I don't say much on this forum - but with Jimmy, we were a top six team every season bar 1. I would take that compared to where we are now which is again the laughing stock of Scottish footlball. I am from the central belt and I can't stand people saying Murderwell are a top six team and we are not but over the last few years (Since we got rid of Jimmy) that's what's happened !!!

knighto Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Good God!!!....I wouldn't trust the perma tanned Hun C*nt to run a bath never mind a SPL team ever again My rant was based on this reply - Yes he signed some f*ds, but seriously, we were a top six team, we got in to position where Rangers actually hated coming to Pittordrie (quote from my h*n friends) ....

Jazzer_Bett Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I think what he's getting at is that coming out with hingmy nonsense like you are, its a good thing you don't post on here too often. We already have a resident hingmy fluffer. Link to comment

We already have a resident hingmy fluffer. I don't think I said anything that was 'nonsense'. 1. He signed some duds - check2. He achieved top six all seasons bar 1 - check What was non-sense about it ? Looking further, he stopped Killie getting relegated .... At the time, I was in the camp of get rid of Jimmy but now after the dust has settled I actually regret my stance to a certain degree. I am sure my view would have been different had Mark McGhee been successful? Link to comment
