Time up for Goodwin?

[Geoff_Tipps]

I was prepared to give Goodwin the benefit of the doubt despite having major reservations about his appointment. Whilst it's difficult to judge him off the back of a Celtic & Rangers double header, what I have witnessed is a manager who looks to lack the ambition to work at a club the size of ours. 

 

[Foxinthebox]

When we were on the ascendancy he takes off the only two players who could possibly give us another goal. Duk was causing all sorts of problems and he brings on Watkins a total powderpuff. Goodwin hasn’t a clue.

[Edinburgh_sheep]

His tactics on Saturday made the club a laughing stock. Last night the team were fairly comfortable until he made the changes, in particular bringing off Duk and bringing on Morris. 
 

He isn’t good enough, simple as. Too much of a rollercoaster season already. I think we could get 3rd as the other clubs outside the arse cheeks are very inconsistent. However, even if he does achieve this and gets group stage European football, my opinion won’t change 

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Like others I’ll not judge him solely against the cheeks.  But

1/ we don’t look competent against the other 9 either (3rd place notwithstanding).  Crucially the other 9 know this and arrive up for it.

2/ questionable ability.  Rapidly turning into a patter merchant and little else (3rd place notwithstanding)

3/ it’s turning into Him rather than Us.  See playing no strikers (2 of them being fucked after a 5 week break) with 2 sitting on their arses with a centre half just back from injury running 70 yds unchallenged, a feature we know repeatedly ends badly for us.

4/ recruitment.  Some decent but a LOT of expensive dross - then that worrying trend to justify them by just playing them anyway.

5/. Darvel.  Enjoy.

[NEM]

Was fully behind him before Saturday. After that joke of a set up, him shit bagging it last night and the absolute drivel he’s spouted after both games he can’t get to fuck quickly enough for me. Fucking cunt

[jamiesd]

It’s clear he is out of his depth. Could maybe do a job at Stirling Albion or something like that.  Folk seem to be calling for Robson to step in. That’s fucking insane.

[RUL]

Yeah, he won’t go anytime soon with us sitting 3rd but that could easily turn to 8th so needs to get a win Saturday.

[1903Fitba]

His prematch ritual involves smoking crack by the looks of it. 
 

 

[brunstanesheep]

That was the final straw for me that last night. He wont give a fuck what I think of course because we have never met. As with every other manager we have had since Fergie, this will be the biggest job he’ll have and hes blown it.

Hoping some of the ITK types come along with some eyeballs and say he’s on a shoogly peg.

[Rico1903]

FTH missed that it was a poll 🤦‍♂️

[Dynamo]

Goodwin has shown nothing in his whole time here that makes me think he will make his tenure a success. 

He doesn't know how to do the easy part which is sort out the defence, yes there are personnel issues but they don't pick themselves. And the real worry is away form, it's been abysmal since he took over - I certainly wouldn't back us to get a win on Saturday.

I always think of it as Liverpool won the champions League in spite of Alex Miller

Alex Miller did. Claimed Liverpool winning the CL proved we were wrong to sack him.

I'd imagine Ebbe (RIP)  considered managing Denmark to a European Championship win was a bigger job. And also managing Benfica although things didn't really work out for him there. Edit...just been informed that it wasn't Ebbe...I've no idea why but I have always thought it was him that led Denmark to that remarkable victory. I'll remember in future now that it wasnt

Also wouldn't surprise me if Miller (A) considered being assistant manager of Liverpool a bigger job

Then there's GWT who was Scotland manager at a time when we did qualify for championships on a fairly regular basis.

Don't know if I'm about to get whooshed but Ebbe didn't manage Denmark at Euro92.  That was Richard Moller Neilsen, whose son Tommy was Ebbes assistant for a while at the Dons.

[Dandyesque]

If he'd owned up to his mistakes, I'd feel differently and think that he could learn from them. 

But after that gutless decision last night, then blaming the players I have no time for him.

Just checked and aye you are right. No idea why I thought it was Ebbe but it's something I've always thought.

Well that’s just embarrassing and doesn’t count at all 

no manager has gone on to a bigger managers job and won a trophy

 

what is it about aberdeen that kills off a manager

Aberdeen doesn't kill them off they're just not good enough in the first place.

Not many managers win trophies. I'd expect you could say the same about ex-managers of the vast majority of Scottish clubs.

What is it about Aberdeen that causes its residents to flee to other countries in search of a better life?

[BaaBaaRedSheep]

Yes, on assumption that next two away games are likely to be very depressing.

Kinda ironic if either St Mirren or Kilmarnock, or both, inflict the fatal wound(s).

The expectation of the support. They'll always claim that the achievements of SAF means that they're always unfairly compared to by the support but none since have even managed to equal Alex Smith's achievements.

And a fair number kill themselves off by bizarre recruitment (Porterfield with Gary Hackett and Tom Jones, Alex Miller with the Dodds/Winters deal, Paterson replacing a steady McAllister with an out of his depth McQuilken "he was the best left back in the First Division last season". And Mr Glass....

[The Gee Man]

Del for 75% of his leadership proved you just need to do the basics right! I don’t think it’s a hopeless job, but certainly not an easy one. Recruitment and passion are the two main ingredients we need. We’ve had some decent recruitment under JG, but like with Del towards the end is very sketchy. Passion is very lacking in Goodwin he doesn’t actually seem to care if we compete at all. He’s got to prove to us he actually wants this job. It’s like any employee (which is all he is after all). Next 2 games gives him the opportunity to get us back on track for  European football 

[Reed or deed]

This guy is ruining our club.

He should be sacked for misconduct and showing a lack of respect for the fans and players.

[starryfish]

I’d argue that at no point in his managerial career has Goodwin showed that he is capable of being Aberdeen manager. Not one piece of evidence that shows it’s the job for him.
