I never ever thought I'd see the day I'd accept John Yogi Hughes as Aberdeen manager yet here we are.

Yeah quite like it, saves me having to type it.

Its a shame that there are far too many opportunities to use it on this  thread....

Aye. The ones that call others pant pishers will be the ones saying we've got to give the next manager time as he's inherited a shitshow from Glass

The pant pishers thing is a pathetic, tired expression that’s cringeworthy 

[RED_JOHN]

Is Glass still here?

 

 

 

Astounding if he is!

Erm no. Mckay, Courts, Neilson and Martindale would all do a better job. 

Martindale!? Lolz he's an idiot.

I agree. 

[sooth_stander]

Racist or otherwise, the fact is, Malky McKay is a better and more experienced manager than Glass and would therefore have Aberdeen in a better position than we currently are.

Thems the facts. Whether the Puritanical and church going Dave Cormack would entertain a “convicted” racist as AFC manager is moot anyway as he’s not a personal friend of his.

"I was aware of the great work he was doing at Atlanta United".........err really Ally?

"i wondered if we are now slightly top heavy in midfield"........aye that's a great point Mr Begg. No Dons fan had noticed that but now you point it out....

Any credibility Begg had a supposed Dons fanatic was flushed down the crapper when he took on the main presenter role on Dhims TV

Good read, fairly balanced and reflects where we are.

He is a Dons fanatic, but he was a presenter over in Singapore so there’s probably nae that much opportunities to continue that over here.

His article did reflect on getting a win over Celtic this weekend

Yip - he's a prick.  Even dedicated a chapter to "the Celtic story" in his book ?

Chapter 85 - "Spar-ked out"

 

So I woke up in ARI yet again, this time walletless and with a sore anus. I checked the doc's clipboard and confirmed his diagnosis - bum raped by three fourteen year olds. Chaos! I checked myself out and headed straight down to the Dutch Mill for a charity fundraising pow-wow with my good mate Hutchy.

What's interesting about it? 

Dull and full of clichés. Nothing insightful in it at all.

Nah I thought it was fair enough. Much easier to toe the party line and make out he is doing OK and not criticise. I've noticed Graham Hunter seems to be very much taking that approach.

Reading a book at moment that widely quotes the late Eddie Turnbull.

One quote in his early days as Dons manager says "My philosophy of the game is that there's only one part of the team you can organise, that's the defence. That doesn't mean you're defensive, it's just your springboard....."

Glass has proven in 20 odd games that he doesn't follow similar guidelines.

Come the end of October, when we WILL firmly be in the bottom six, time to replace him with a Turnbull type manager, and get the team foundations back to basics.

It was Turnbull that set things in motion so Fergie could be successful some years later!!

Think it was mair Ally MacLeod and Billy McNeil that did that misel.

Nae taking anything awa fae Turnbull who was a fantastic boss at AFC.

[Fridge]

I agree to an extent but it is a difficult one - Mcinnes - let’s not attack but we won’t concede, Glass let’s just attack and have no defence

There is a happy medium in there somewhere

Fair doos min.

Eddie layed the foundations, Ally and Billy built the walls and Fergie completed the roof.

The roof started leaking after the Fergie years and, after some decent maintenance under Derek, the walls started to crumble a bit in his latter years.

Unfortunately instead of employing a master builder to rebuild our fortunes DC has hired a mate who hasn't completed his apprenticeship yet.

Let’s attack and defend and retain possession? 
 

Ground breaking strategy that most managers can’t compute. Difficult when your players are not all that comfortable on the ball and the opposition are harassing you i suppose.

Mcinnes wasn't defensive

He just understood that a solid defence was pivotal

He was ridiculously defensive.
