I get the feeling he will be a bit more aggressive with the press than his predecessor, the way he handled the Griffiths and Brown questions was very impressive. He comes across very well. Intelligent and articulate, straightforward and honest. I can see why he interviewed well in that “prawcess” ? Really want him to succeed. Was dead against his appointment but I really hope he proves me wrong and is a big success. Needs time though, this is not his team, & he doesn’t have a magic wand to polish turds that won’t be here next season. Anything we achieve this season should be regarded as a bonus, I’ll start judging the new management team come next season. 4 Link to comment

Reckon a Saido Berahino type will be who we are speaking to. Players that Russell has worked with. Link to comment

Liked his attitude towards some of the dimmer, standard gluepot press questions. Sound. Aye, some of the questions were so predictable, although it was good to heard someone ask (maybe Tyrone) about whether a DoF was coming in. Doesnt sound like it, unless Steven Gunn gets the dunt.

He sorts out the transfer dealings, contracts etc. A DoF is someone who implements policies and strategies. I can't see Gunn having that remit in the slightest. Link to comment

In reference to Gunner, Glasser did say in that interview that certain roles and responsibilities will be tweaked. I imagine Gavin Leavy will become Academy director, Simmie will be more involved in the 1st team, Sheerin and Robson will revert to reserve and U18s coaches, Steven Gunn will become more if an administrator and a DoF will come in, in the summer, no doubt from Atlanta.

Sheepo Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I noticed Cormack is here also, maybe some signing announcements incoming Link to comment

He's mentioned on several occasions he was only over in Florida for so long due to travel restrictions and that he'd be back in Aberdeen for some time now. Think he sees the need to have more of a day to day influence on matters now. That and there's no Derek to be an 'elephant in the room' type of situation! Link to comment

Does that mean he’s not interested I wouldn’t say so He had an opportunity to kill it stone dead and he didn't take it. 1 hour ago, slippers said: Reckon a Saido Berahino type will be who we are speaking to.

So not sure if that was in relation to him or if others are lined up. I’d assume if it’s any players based in Scotland like Gallagher it won’t be announced till season finishes Link to comment

Postman Pats Cat Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I certainly was one of those that did not want Glass to get the job. But with the coaching team he is putting together and the interviews, comments I have listened to from Glass I am fired up about the immediate future. I have said this in previous chat but the old firm can be got at. Aberdeen can challenge. It need stars to align to a certain degree but above all it needs a manger who can bring out the best in our players, have them working harder, being fitter than than the rest. Let's go Glass. Bring it on! Link to comment
DelMonte Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Definitely liking what I’m hearing from Glass. Hope fans don’t jump on his back too soon if he doesn’t pick up results immediately. Needs the summer to properly make his mark. Link to comment
Postman Pats Cat Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Agree. The refreshing thing about listening to Cormack and Glass is the message is the same. They seem to be in agreement with the aberdeen vision. This is important in any organisation, banking, retail, whatever, there needs to be a clear message and goal. You can say what you want about cormack but I am clear on what he wants (or what he wants me to believe he wants). That good. That's encouraging. Thats something we can all understand and hopefully look forward to. Glass will need time and I am willing to wait a couple of years but I want to see some positive football that gets me excited and I can see where we are going. 2 1 Link to comment
Dons79 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Was a really good interview, handles questions competently and is articulate,passionate and I like how he pauses before answering. looks like he has a steely resolve about him and he definitely won’t take any shite from the media,(there’s a Clarke type arrogance in him, suffers no fools)!. quite excited about this and definitely agree that time should be afforded to him seen as it’s still McInnes team.

North_Andy_Dandy Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 He’s certainly saying all of the right things so far, hopefully we can get a win on Saturday so this positivity can carry on. Also reading what he’s said about Scott Brown looks like he’ll definitely be in the starting 11 next season. Link to comment
Crashnyploshnit Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Just listened to the interview with Glass. He already has me lapping up his every word. He comes across as intelligent, sincere with a steely resolve and has clearly bought in to Cormack's vision for attacking football. With a few decent signings I have a feeling we may be on our way to actually winning something. I like everyone on this forum hope this feel good factor continues. Link to comment

Agreed. Just listened to it. He sounds authoritative too. I was a bit reticent about the appointment at the time, but I’m excited at what lies ahead...love that he didn’t close the door on the LG potential signing, which I think would be a great move.. hopefully the players are energised on Saturday..sure they will be.. agreed that he needs time and I hope we as fans are prepared to stick to that mantra, if things don’t click fairly quickly, next season..
