And where is Celtic in the league. Come Sunday afternoon it will be 5 points behind Celtic I’m afraid. 

You'd prefer that wouldn't you? Rather than winning and being above them.

Allowing Glass to continue IS effectively throwing in the towel. 

Your opinion and you're entitled to it.

I hope its a bit premature.

Listen boo boo the way the dons are playing at the moment and with Lewis acting like a flying fairy. Ferguson not interested, plus the Rudolph Hess lookalike in charge, I can’t see them winning, but miracles do happen now and then, boo boo.

Removing Glass won’t, in itself, cure the issue. 

An experienced assistant manager needs to come in along with an experienced DoF.

Maybe those 2 roles could be the done by one person? 

Irrespective of whether it’s one or two blokes doing those roles, it would give Glass a far better platform to build on.

Inexperience all over the place at the mo

Is there not a case that we have to allow them to gain experience? Learn from mistakes. There's risk attached with any appointment.

I find it pretty depressing that DC will allow October to play it out for the sake of it. But if that is what he's gonna do then he damn well better be using October to put plans for a replacement in place so the new manager can start working towards January to start fixing the fucking mess Glass created in the summer. 

Which manager do you think would come in and get a successful return of results in October?

Agreed in Glass’ case (to a degree) but you wouldn’t run any business or organisation with inexperience at every level within the core function.

An inexperienced manager surrendered by inexperience, including the chairman, is a recipe for disaster, as appears to be prevailing

Take a risk with one of them and give an inexperienced guy a chance maybe, but not both at the same time.

It’s clear as day that everything on the football side of things is being run poorly at the moment. Recruitment, tactics, results have all been really poor.

Yes.

An experienced manager will probably just mean route 1, 4th and no cups. 

Lets give this idiot centre midfield signing fanatic a go at creating a team who play football and win games. He's made a cunt of it so far but we'll be flying soon enough.... Mon the Glass.

Was there a table posted on here somewhere of Glass win % compared to our previous managers?

Add disjointed starting line-ups, bizarre formations, and poor substitutions, and that is why we find ourselves in the predicament we are currently in.

There are managers who have worked at lower levels with a far higher hit rate than Stephen who clearly were never considered as part of the prawcess - it's a DC fuckup - came into football thinking he could make it all happen by force of personality and not by actual ability or experience and clearly can't have listened to any advice he didn't agree with - the mess of signings and football mistakes are all ultimately DCs fault - what will happen when he gets bored of his fantasy football experiment? Aberdeen FC are in a precarious place and I don't know that DC has the skill (and courage - because he'll have to undo some of his previous decisions) to get us out of it (given his previous bottling of comparatively simple things like Q&A sessions there are grounds for scepticism).  I'd love SG to succeed and somehow umpteen central midfielders and few centre backs, wingers or strikers to be the new model for football. he may just be a wee bit ahead of his time.

I agree, just interested to hear who he thinks would transform the team for these games,

Ebbe had a worse record of victories over his first 20 games,  and Ebbe managed to get improvement

Interesting question in the way it has been framed. 

The sooner we sack him, the sooner we can get a replacement and the sooner said replacement can get to work. That October is a tough run games should not be an excuse to say fuck it let's not do anything. Anyway why should we write off October, just because we think the run of games looks tough. 

And to answer your question any one of the other managers in the SPL would make a better fist of it than Glass.

Plenty managers would be able to organise & structure a team better than SG I’d think.

I don’t think we’ve been that bad, certainly not clinical enough.

In the games we’ve lost, we’ve dominated the games and had the chances to go ahead.

So after only 7 games of the campaign, it’s far too early to dismiss that the problem is beyond fixing.

[mutant]

Just watched his interview for the Celtic game. Looks like he’s going to drop Lewis. 

I don’t dislike glass in the slightest in fact I think he really cares about the club.

Hes just nae good enough.

October is deemed tough because we will play SevCo, Celtic and Hibs.

 

SevCo have only been beaten once in the league, by Tam Courts United. Who we dominated and beat soundly when they came to Pittodrie.

Hibs have yet to be beaten in the league, so no other manager has been able to get a win over Ross

Celtic have been beaten three times so far, Hearts on the opening day (Hearts could not beat us and we’re lucky in the end to get a draw), Livingston (whom we beat, albeit to a goalkeeping error, but otherwise we dominated) and to SevCo themselves. They also dished out a couple of 6-0 thrashings to St Mirren (who only beat us as we were down to 10 men) and Dundee (were yet to play them)

 

I’m not seeing where your misbelief that ANY of the other SPL managers would make a better fist of it.

We had a manager who organised a team with a good structure but everyone wanted him out ?

Apart from the 4 who didn't manage to beat us i presume?

Learn it elsewhere

We are a team who were finishing top 4 for 8 years, 2nd 4 times

Regular semis and finals and euro qualification and all that was deemed not good enough
