Rejected now is it.

You said earlier he was interviewed. 

Was never near the club,your fantasy sources are talking shite,and as for Robbie Fowler?

You're right, he was never near the club as it was done over Zoom. 

[JamieMT]

Robbie Fowler himself openly expressed interest in the role. So i can well believe he made the final five. As with Glass & Maloney he was a wonderful player (and landlord i hear), but no way should he have been under consideration.

Fuck off ya Perth poof! 

No need to be like that, that hurts. I've never been called a poof by a spastic before so I'm not sure how to deal with this.

He’s clearly Red John reincarnated - so that should answer your question ?

Though Red John was incredibly boring and hugely unfunny, I never thought he was retarded like this cunt. You might be right though.

It wasn't, they're too busy turning over several million a year as you slave away at your desk and walking that dog of yours that fucking despises you.

I find it amazing that Fowler would make it onto any managerial shortlist. 

Unbelievable as it seems Fowler was on the shortlist

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Shows he’s a good manager though. How many other managers have tried and failed there?

Yes, I think he is a decent manager, but my point was that he had a huge (by League One standards) budget to work with, as well as inheriting a team that had all the credentials to get out of that division. The true test for him will be next season in the Championship, a hugely competitive - and thus notoriously difficult to get out of - league.

You’ve still put an organised team out on the park to win the games to get up. No one else could do it. 
 

honestly can’t believe the shite on here and how much gets written off. Aberdeen fans could easy find a way to diminish Jurgen Klopps efforts at Liverpool. For a club who do so little we sure are good at turning our nose up at things

Plenty other managers had the same afforded to them as Neil, but failed

His only remit next season will be to keep Sunderland up. The problem he may encounter is that if he's sitting in the bottom 4 or 5 in November, Sunderland are notoriously trigger happy with their managers, nearly as bad as Hibs have been over the past 20-25 years.

I've got sources. Like me like me.

I can't tell you anything that's going in but something will happen soon.

And when it does I'll say "that's what my sources told me"

Fuck me. What's worse, the pathetic folk who claim this shit or the morons who fall for it?

Read on P & B that the squad Hun is assembling at Killie contains a few central defenders and no recognised left back.

Some folk never learn eh?

Interesting

Weird that I remember the guy at left back winning player of the season twice while we had quality like shinnie, McLean, christie, rooney, Hayes, McGinn and were coasting top 2

terrible times

1 trophy in last 27 years or 2 trophies in last 32 years.

DM did quite well until 2017 cup final then deteriorated steadily thereafter.

Truth is for a one city club we have basically underperformed since 1990. DM did give us hope for 3 or 4 years from 2014 but we have to remember that during the majority of that period the Tims were the only team to beat and coming 2nd would have been the minimum expectation at the time. 

Finally big Andy was a fine servant to Dons but wasn't a true left back and would often get found wanting in big games I.e. first half against Copenhagen in Europa, semi final against QOS and 2017 Scottish Cup Final against Tims.

Back to my main point why does DM not believe in playing a recognised left back?

Ultimately the better teams will exploit weakness.

Last sentence is key.  He doesn’t (appear to) see the need to have a specialist player in key positions to win those big games.  Rather have a stand in and win most/some of them.  That’s surely enough isn’t it?

Enough to win 40% to 50% of his games as a manager, and enjoy moderate success in the grand scheme of things.

He is perhaps being a pragmatic realist but....., unfortunately, fans do want success in winning a trophy every now and again.

For that to happen you do really need to minimise the team's weaknesses and maximise the team's strengths.

DM was fine at the latter but not so good at the former.

It still annoys me that we should have challenged Tims far more when Deila was manager. An opportunity missed, which is unlikely to come along again anytime soon.

I think many people believed the lies they were told about Brexit by Bojo and Goblinteeth Farage, realised they were lied to in retrospect, but are too embarrassed to admit they were taken in, hence them subsequently excusing, or denying, the impact on many businesses who relied on EU trade deals to survive.
