The Goodwin effect!

Goodwin is a significant downgrade on McInnes….. most managers have a shelf life but the vitriol and hatred pointed at McInnes is a joke it really is. As for passion and 100% by players that’s impacted by the management team and yes the fans….. Goodwin is not managing much of that is he…..

 

and as for using an Auswich comparison for this, well that’s some level to stoop to truly is….

It is unfair to say he's a downgrade at this stage. McInnes was great for us in his first five years, that is true, but he also inherited a perfect storm, where he was up against the weakest Scottish top flight playing field in history and had, by some margin, the third biggest budget annually. It is telling that, in addition to the natural law of diminishing returns, once the playing field strengthened and the advantages he inherited dissipated, we went backwards. Had he stayed, we'd likely have struggled to make the Top 6 this year. 

On the other hand, Goodwin has inherited a horrendous mess, the magnitude of which will require until January - including two full transfer windows, with the kind of backing McInnes had in his early days - to sort out. Whether he does or not, only time will tell, but he deserves that much.

Your speaking crap, passion by players by players if they havnt got passion and desire to win without being molycoiled by the manager and fans they shouldnt be playing for Aberdeen.    Goodwin well he hasn’t ventured into India. Like Mcinnes.

They didn't win a game until their 7th game of the season when guess what, they beat us. They then won 3 on the bounce before going 11 games and 3 and a half months without a win and were sitting with 3 wins from their first 21 games. Then went on a little streak again end of January with 4 wins out of 5 (including surprise, surprise beating us again) and that little run is what basically got him the job at Pittodrie.

Its just fucking unbelievable.

The crazy thing is that some people still think he was the best man for the job.

Makes a nice change.

What a difference when an article is written by a Dons fan as opposed to some hun cunt at the Daily Retard, who’s got scant knowledge of what we think, and is more interested in about writing a puff piece with some ex-hun from 15 years ago.

Yep. Excellent article. 

Is he the guy that used to appear on the here we go podcast?

There’s a saying that history doesn’t repeat itself but it does rhyme. 
Our current plight certainly resembles Hibs when they were relegated. 

on the plus side, ticket prices must be lower in the championship and we will get to visit lots of new interesting Scottish towns.

Had Hibs been relegated before?

They’re a yo-yo club much like their neighbours. Of course they’d been down before ?

That alkie hun bastard McLeish took them down for starters

For sure, at least once, anyone old enough to remember our title winning game at Easter Road in 1980 will also probably remember Hibs were bottom by that time and already down. They were really bad that season.

Ha ha I forgot about that! Left Motherwell for Leith..

 

Goodwin has had a poor start and all the chat on here today about guys like Irvine, Grant, Mason, Connor really highlights where we are right now. The manager will need time and significant funds to get us challenging again.

Not convinced he'll get either

[Poodler]

Is this some kind of record for a new manager / win percentage after 10 games?

But he has lost a lot of fans who were prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt he was the best candidate for the job

We are, doesn't mean we cant do better than a man who's managerial highlights were finishing 3rd in League 1 with Alloa and 2 bottom six seasons with St Mirren.

We are... Cormack has a lot to answer for. We would have been a much more desirable prospect for a decent manager prior to the appointment of Glass. Now we're scraping around for the dregs of the managerial merry-go-round. Sadly Goodwin is not and never has been the man to take us forward.

Michael Grant also did a Podcast with Graham Spiers yesterday, more or less regurgitated what he said in his Times piece but you get the impression he's not a fan of Cormack.

One thing he did enforce though was this McInnes rubbish, and the "be careful what you wish for" nonsense that the SMSM peddle. He made it clear to Spiers that, as we all know,  McInnes himself wanted out at the end of last season.
