To bring up something that was posted on here that turned out to be untrue.

Ffs, as a fellow hat  veteran I expected better,

Do you read the drivel spouted on here every fucking day ?

Tbh there's so much posted on here I've forgotten more than I remember given the amount of shite spouted.

I recall a bet of some sort... an account being threatened to be deleted. You didn't delete account... bla bla bla.

I don't particularly care if you deleted your account or you didn't, I still wake up horny. I mean wait... what.

Garner came onto the board when Craig Brown stepped down. 

Laughable when you compare their CVs. Garner shouldn’t be anywhere near the team recruiting managers. 

Cormack really needs to get the footballing side right. He needs to make tough decisions to ensure he has the right people around him. That needs to be prioritised. 
 

That means replacing Gunn, Milne and Garner now. The question is are Cormack and Burrows capable of bringing in the right replacements? 

Garner’s managerial CV:

Keith. 
Craigroyston. 
Newtongrange Star. 
Harthill Royal. 
Glenrothes. 
Tayport. 
Ballingry Rovers 

The powerhouses of Scottish football. 
And the last of which was ten years ago.

Symptomatic of the club. 

Milne - a chairman who presided over a decade of mediocrity & accumulating debt. 

Gunn - No doubt a hard working individual, but in no way qualified for the role of DoF

No wonder we ended up with…..

Robson - Unqualified to be Dons boss & massively out his depth, incapable of taking us forward. A youngish coach who is a dinosaur in his approach.

Get them all to fuck, now. 

Apart from that, we’re tip top.

It’s no coincidence we turned to shit once the cash turnstiles were removed

It all went wrong once we dropped our grooming standards and allowed McInnes to grow that beard. Willie Miller got a pass for his neatly groomed moustache because he's Willie Miller, but otherwise we'd only ever had clean shaven managers up until that point (note McInnes won his one and only trophy with us pre-beard), once the beard spiders took up residence in the manager's office it's been downhill ever since.

Something for the FMB to consider..

Undoubtedly McInnes was a better manager when clean shaven. 

I did think that even a strong, groomed beard would be acceptable until Goodwin ruined that one. 

However, Robson is now making me doubt the clean shaven look. 

I’m all over the place with this.

The ABZ podcast guys, not unusually, nail it again in their latest episode. You could pick any Sunday league manager and he’d get the current Aberdeen players performing far better than the current manager has. That’s how bad the current manager is

From my experience of playing that’s absolute garbage.

That's a stretch 😂. A competent manager would have this squad 4th at worst currently. We've just got a ham fisted oaf running things.

Ok that's a bit of an exaggeration but it's probably fair to say that stick anyone in the dugout as interim manager today and we get a better response from the players. Look at the initial response when Goodwin was binned, and it was only fucking Robson that was in the dugout.

Clearly hyperbole, but we all get the point they were making about the fallic symbol in the dug out.

We just look like a disorganised rabble with no idea what they’re trying to do to win the game.

Defensively shipping an average of two goals per game.

Attacking-wise chancing on luck & percentages. 

That is on the coaching staff. 100%

They want Robson out so they’ve nailed that.

Has to be Lennon on a short term contract, revealed on the morning of the cup final, then a new manager & FMB assembled for next season

The problem you have with that is if the toxic wee rat does well, he’ll get a longer-term contract.

 

[BaldurBett]

Yeah that's a good boint, but surely he'd be up for it just for a laugh, i'd even offer him the shortest term contract... from today until the cup final

Absolutely this.

Willie Garner is a fucking dinosaur. If you want to have a legend on the board (mainly for ceremonial reasons) give it to God. Milne should be nowhere near it either. He got one right and then sucked his boaby for way too long. What the fuck has Gunn actually done - I'd love that question asked at the AGM. Sack the FMB...

Watching on the hearts tv. Listening to their commentary (no idea who the fuck they are) team talking in disbelief about the quality we have right through the squad and they don't understand how on earth we can be playing so badly.

I’ve actually listened to them before for a game we played at their place. 

Laurie someone & usually Robert Borthwick.

They’re pretty balanced & fair.

Aye, a refreshing change from Rob McLean

Alex Neil now available after getting emptied by Stoke. He'll become available again in another 16 months once he gets sacked by his next team.

Spent quite a bit apparently and hardly won a game. Sounds like an ideal like for like replacement.

He’s on a downward spiral, it’s a no from me 

[Willo flood]

Not for me

[Ten Caat]

Neil said 2 or 3 years back he had no intention of returning to manage in Scotland in the near future. Had Celtic offered him their job, you can be sure he would have been back up the road in an instant  but I really think he's been guilty of believing his own hype.

As others have said, he's on a downward trend and unlikely to get another job in the Championship anytime soon. Might well have to review his reluctance to take a job in Scotland. But if/when our job becomes vacant, I hope we look elsewhere. 

[fine-n-dandy]

For the wages he would believe he deserves he would be a wasted wage. Not much better than Mcinnes really. 
 

We should be aiming for far better than him.
