Karl Fletcher Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 This isn't a dig at Craig Brown. I quite like him and think he will be here for at least the 2012/13 season. However given Brown's age and the general agreement on how far he can take us, I hope our Board are keeping their ears to the ground and hopefully thinking a bit outside the box when the time comes to make a change. I'm hoping for more of a 'left field' appointment, something we haven't had since Skovdahl. Our Board have almost been lazy when it comes to appointing Managers. The general plan is to have a quick look at who is above us in the League and nick their Manager. I'd hope we are a bit more inventive next time. Could Aberdeen even look at an up and coming young Manager? Surely worth a bash anyway? We'll probably just nick Derek Adams when he has County sitting 5th in the League and we're sitting 10th....

Dynamo Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Adams will inevitably be one of the ones linked. We will not be going for Motherwells manager this time Personally would like to see a new man in place for the start of next season. Brown is driving away the fans in huge numbers and this is going to continue as we are playing the worst football I have ever witnessed. 6000 average next season if he is still here. Link to comment
tommo1903 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I would like Alex McLeish as our next manager Link to comment
Redstar Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Paul Hartley is doing well enough at Alloa...maybe bring him in when Broon has 6 months of his contract left. Hartley could learn of the old master...in fact scratch that....Don't let Broon anywhere near a new manager...It could be more destructive than productive Link to comment
Dynamo Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 It will be Derek Adams. Close thread it's official. Link to comment
Dazzler Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Ossie Ardiles will no doubt throw his name in as per. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 It will be Derek Adams. Correct. I told this to this board several months ago. Close thread it's official. Yep.It won't be Adams then. Continue thread. It is Derek Adams. You have a PM. Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Ally McCoist will be looking for a job around then... Link to comment
Redstar Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Jimmy Nicol .Careful pal...it's a short step from Jimmy Nicol to MT derailing this one and calling for the future to be orange Link to comment
tup Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Correct. I told this to this board several months ago. After I told you of course. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 After I told you of course. No after Derek's cousin told me at his house while having a party. Link to comment
tightbreeks Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 i'm daniel cousin. Link to comment
K OK Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 No after Derek's cousin told me at his house while having a party. So that automatically means he'll be manager in 2 seasons time? You do realise anything can happen in that time? So we're meant to believe Milne has tapped up Adams and guarenteed this gig, in a couple of seasons time....Yep. Link to comment
Mikeyboy1903 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Careful pal...it's a short step from Jimmy Nicol to MT derailing this one and calling for the future to be orange You'll find that partnership won't happen anytime soon .... so for that reason Jimmy Nicol .... Link to comment

Jazzer_Bett Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I reckon it will be Levein the season after next, when he's failed with Scotland. Although at this rate I'd take Adams and Knox with Brown doing Scouting and signing starting this June. Link to comment

afc_blockhead Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Close thread it's official. Says the guy who confidently states an average crowd of 6000 next season if Brown is still here Link to comment
Jazzer_Bett Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Adams teams pass and keep the ball very well. Brown had our team doing that very well early season, but we were soft at the back. Now we are solid as fuck at the back, but can't pass it anymore. Brown has made us solid, which would be a good platform for Adams. Can still see Broen eating one more year though. Risk is by that time Adams could have had a good year in the SPL with County and could be offski to Championship FC, hence why I predict Levein following us failing to qualify for the WC.

gypsymuffin Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I think we should go for a foreign manager next time. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I think we should go for a foreign manager next time. I think we should go for a GOOD one Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Personally speaking, I'd love to see us take punt on Adams. His teams play football the right way. It'd be nice to see a bit of entertainment at Pittodrie once in a while! Hopefully Tups latest prediction proves to be an inspired prophecy! Link to comment
Stoneybloke Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I reckon it will be Levein the season after next, when he's failed with Scotland. You mean you want a younger clone of Craig Brown? More of the same then? Link to comment
