fine-n-dandy Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 No idea what E & OE means but don't drag me into your pish. Any info I've ever had here has been met with approval and people actually believe what I say (with good reason) where as all your information has been duff info. Oh yeah.I hear Derek Riordan has been dumped & is available again.Reckon we're in for him in Jan?What's Jess saying about it? Link to comment
ebbe Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Dat true....Still think the chances of getting Chris Coleman are remote...Adams and Brewster would be my realistic choice...I reckon those pair would get things sorted pretty quick...Adams strikes me as an intelligent fella with a cold streak about him...Brewster is just plain mental...good combination unfortunately you're right. coleman for me anyway ticks all the boxes. would welcome adams would just prefer coleman. i'd welcome most with open arms except calderwood or hughes. i'd rather torture my own nipples with a lit boonson burner than support that pair of fat knobbers.

Red Morning Light Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 As has probably been stated before it won't make a difference. Elements in our support will never be happy. There is a self destructive element in our support who would rather just slate the side and club. There is no doubt this is reflected in the performance of players. We just didn't know how good we had it 3-6 years ago. The change we do need now is a change to Milne's advisors. He is not a football man and needs proper guidance. Link to comment

Disagree.We rightly are complaining about the perennial shite we are served up. YEAR after YEARDespite what one or two clowns on here think, we are NOT improving and a year after Brown took over, we are at the bottom of the league, just where we were when he took over, so fuck knows why people think we are improving.Answers on a postcard to tup, c/o cloud cuckoo land, deludedvilleWe are entitled to think we should be challenging for the top 4.Fuck me, our budget is significantly better than St Johnstone & Murderwell and they are 3rd & 4th.Brown has the next 3 games to make it work or he can go.

Scarface Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Stuart McCall. Pinching relatively successful managers from Motherwell has to work for AFC eventually, right? Link to comment
brownie Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Eric Black - Nae chanceJohn Collins - Nae chanceDerek Adams - He played for Aberdeen so has to be in the short list.....Jim Jefferies - Would give him two weeks before folk on here are calling for his head.Others: Mourinho, Van Gaal & Capello might fancy a shot at bring Aberdeen up to where folk think they should be.

ollie1903 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Adams has been asked already.What's your stance on this Tup, seeing as you are so vehemently pro Brown? Link to comment

Perfectly within our rights to be complaining the last 2 years but it was going on when we were 3rd 4th 5th. No matter what happens folk will find a bone to pick. Agree that we have not improved since he took over. Better squad but they can't play together. Link to comment
tommo1903 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 What's your stance on this Tup, seeing as you are so vehemently pro Brown? He won't answer, he doesn't answer questions that that might contradict his previous statements. He signed a FOUR year deal with Molde & won the league in his first season.You think he'd leave them (where he is a hero) & come to us & you think we'd could afford the compo that would be required to pry him out of the remaining THREE years of his Molde contract?Let's be a little more realistic about our next managerial suggestions & not just start naming all the sought after guys that we have little or no chance of getting. Maybe. No thanks Mum. Link to comment
Rocky Fister Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 If we are talking crazy suggestions, then I'd go for Antoinne Koumboure. He's pretty close to getting the bullet for Rafa Benitez at PSG, but he did wonders for RC Strasburg as manager there! In the real world though....I'd go for Arild Stavrum. I'd love to see him back at Aberdeen ! Link to comment
ollie1903 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 He won't answer, he doesn't answer questions that that might contradict his previous statements.That's as may be but not my intention to cast up. I am genuinely interested in his views on it and if he, being the most vocal in his support of him previously, still backs Brown. Link to comment
tightbreeks Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I've got luggy's mobi number, might give the boy a phone and dangle carrots in front of him. I think we should get some mad south american manager who guided a team to a championship in paraguay or somewhere. Link to comment

I am genuinely interested in his views on it and if he, being the most vocal in his support of him previously, still backs Brown. That interview has clinched it for me. I've viewed it three times now and it gets worse every time I see it. There must come a point when even the greatest supporter of a manager that ever lived will see the light and change his mind. The time must surely be about there for Tup and Brown. However I doubt it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUTXb-ga1fo Link to comment
Ke1t Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 That interview has clinched it for me. I've viewed it three times now and it gets worse every time I see it. Everything about him, his tone, his body language, the reiteration, everything in that interview says that here's another manager destroyed by Aberdeen. There's no fight or passion in the man at all. He's just done. Kick him upstairs and let him see out his contract, then hold a raffle with the staff to see who gets to manage the team for the rest of the season. Link to comment

Mikeyboy1903 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Adams did f**k all at Hibs and we want him as our Manager ... Jesus Christ I've seen it all now .... Last time we went for someone like him he was bundled into the back of someone's car when getting the sack........ seriously wise the f**k up people. Link to comment
Rossshepherd Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 If someone has not already pointed out, Didi Hamann failed at Stockport. He also signed Paton on loan. Need I say more. He Is no better than Brown at all. Link to comment

Last time we went for someone like him he was bundled into the back of someone's car when getting the sack........ seriously wise the f**k up people.Going to Hibs was Adams mistake. I'd have thought there would be more prestige in being manager of a first division club than assistant at a poor SPL club. And during his spell there he spent as much time observing from the stands as he did in the dugout. It's a piss poor comparison. As is the comparison with a known alchie (common knowledge before the appointment; ladies and gentlemen, I give you our board). I'd rather look at what he's done with County, which has been largely impressive. It's not at SPL level, but I'd much rather take a risk and give a young manager with ambition a shot than go down the usual route of has-been "experienced" managers. Link to comment

Sorry but we need someone to kick the board up the arse, not have someone that will be a yes man. Can't anyone see that it's not the manager to blame here ? Sorry but our problems lie deeper than that.......... Give Brown time instead of pulling the carpet from under him. Link to comment

I also have concerns that may not be Adams strong point (or at least something he would have experience in). Should the current environment remain in place and Adams was brought in with little to no support he's fucked. Brining Adams in would have to be part of wholesale changes at the club. Angela GTF.

stand_free Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 If Brown gets punted then ideally I'd have somebody in as an interim for the remainder of this season to get us climbing the table. This would hopefully allow us to have a proper, thorough search for our new man rather than wasting money chasing after one candidate with zero thought process. Link to comment
