We're not quite bringing out the wicker yet. Link to comment
Ke1t Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 3 hours ago, Simply Red said: We dont want another boring manager. Lets get an exciting foreign manager no one knows about. Lets do experiments again. We could get the Albanian version of Glass/Brown. That would be well exciting. Then sack them after a few games and get a Japanese version of Jim Goodwin. The excitement would be off the charts. After we sack that cunt we can get see if Warno’s free again. Or we go for a sensible, known quantity with a bit of pedigree and claw back a bit of respectability. Do you even hear yourself? "Bring in someone who proved himself" Is that really the route we're going to go down? Hiring someone who knows what he's doing? Link to comment

Dunty Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 6 hours ago, CCB III said: Has Stephen Robinson ever managed a game in an elite league? My point was what Neil did at Hamilton is basically what Robinson is doing at St Mirren, or Tony Docherty at Dundee. I wasn't comparing their entire CVs. I wasn't actually pitching Robinson for the Dons job. 6 hours ago, CCB III said: You can discuss points total and league positions all you like but he met the targets set for him by and large. But you can't just dismiss all his failures and his sackings. Neil has had moderate successes which are generally followed by failure. You're just cherry picking a few things he got right and saying not to worry about everything else. 6 hours ago, CCB III said: Most Norwich managers don't keep them in the league but we'd easy take the boy Farke. He didn't get sacked for not keeping them in the league. He got sacked for seven wins in 24 games when they were back in the Championship. 6 hours ago, CCB III said: Many Sunderland managers failed to get them out the third tier. Again, he took them over when they were two points off the top. 6 hours ago, CCB III said: Preston are very rarely in play off contention. They are this season, where they are two points off a play-off spot. They seem to have improved since sacking Neil... 6 hours ago, CCB III said: Aberdeen are not getting a manager with a better CV than that, I hate to tell you. We currently have a manager with a better CV than him. 6 hours ago, Simply Red said: Mourinho at man utd and spurs proves that just because a manager is good at one club, doesn't mean he’ll do well everywhere else he goes. Weird how fans dont ever really want to acknowledge this. While your point is valid, Mourinho did well at Man Utd but player power removed him. 4 hours ago, Frank Grimes said: What credible foreign manager would uproot his life / family to move to Aberdeen when our last three managers have been sacked after less than 12 months? Think we’re pissing in the wind on that one tbh But none of those managers were sacked unfairly, and potential managers will appreciate that. Link to comment
Cambridge Red Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 6 hours ago, WesthillWanderersFC said: Honestly, some of the suggestions on here 😆 Some folk need to realise we are Motorhead & we play rock and roll. Fixed it for you. Off topic I know but couldn't resist. Since 1st Nov 1980 in the Capitol in Aberdeen must have seen them a dozen times in various cities over the years. RIP Lemmy and Philthy animal Taylor. Back to the manager situation once Warnock has worked his magic and helped us lift the cup for the 1st time in 34 years he'll be too excited not too stay another year and tick European football off his bucket list. Incase yer wondering the weather's fine on my planet 🤣. Link to comment

If we can prise him away from Grimthorpe. Take his baldy chain smoking assistant as well. Hardy cunt, he'd be great for instilling discipline into the squad. Link to comment
Red Clive 1995 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 My left field suggestion would be Darren Young, with Neil Warnock staying to help him in his first six to 12 months. Darren has more experience than the 3 previous incumbents, and worth a punt. It’ll never happen however. In reality Alex Neil would be good or Gary rowett. Unless they scoop some foreign manager from the depths of the universe. Also be onboard with that. Link to comment

Experimental approach, something outside the box is exactly what the club needs right now. 1 Link to comment
Johnnyred1 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I agree with Alex Neil's demeaner. He seems awfy dour. The type of guy you steer away from because they depress the life out of you. Even if he has the managerial skills, I'd wager most of his players would be borderline manic depressants after listening to his motivational speeches. Link to comment

milne_afc Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 The last thing the people of Aberdeen are comfortable with is razzmatazz. Neil, Pearson or Jose will do just fine. Don’t understand the delay. Link to comment

Its just my opinion, i don't find any of the names on that list inspiring or ambitious.... but you're probably correct, that's probably where we are as a club at the moment. There is no ambition, the whole football philosophy and aim to be a 'top 100' club is nothing but pie in the sky nonsense. As for my shout, i have no idea.... i'm not claiming to be an expert on world football. I just find it hard to believe there's not someone out there who's better than the names on that list of failed managers. Anyway, i have a hope that we've already got someone lined up for the position and the reason they've not been announced is because they're currently in a job and want to see out the season with their current club. And that would rule out everyone on that list other than Derek and he surely wouldn't come back. Maybe that's just wishful thinking though. 1 Link to comment

I would just like a manager who doesn't come from the managerial merry go round of failed managers in the UK.

My response was solely to that list of names that Bet365 had put up as favourites for the position. None of them are inspiring. I don't disagree thats probably where we are as a club. Link to comment
