Surely he’d have spoken to her about that wee rat cunt Lennon, & that alone would’ve put him off? And both Burrows & Cormack are more than aware of the feelings of the on-line Dons support. It won’t be Lennon. Surely to fuck not even our club are THAT rank stupid Link to comment

I'd have hoped his lack of management ability would've done the trick tbh, piss poor record outside of Celtic 1 Link to comment

Either the shortlist is bogus or Neil isn't as closed minded about opportunities at this point as people believe. Link to comment

Would snap your hand off for Alex Neil. The question must be, would he actually want it after meeting and being interviewed by our illustrious FMB.. Link to comment
Geoff_Tipps Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Really liked that Derek Rae article and the model in which Aberdeen are trying to achieve is one I completely get. I.e. manager doesn't need to be a recognised name if the support network is strong. The problem we have is the support network is a bag of utter shit, so what chance does an inexperienced manager or any manager have. 1 Link to comment

Sheepo Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I am just praying it is anyone but Lennon Link to comment
Tord31 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Alex Neil would be a decent appointment but not one that will maintain season ticket sales this summer. Link to comment

Not that I’m defending Stephen Glass at all, but he was behind the black ball from the start Rookie manager, no experience alongside him, & nothing “above” to guide & advise him. Not even a HoR to help sign players. Fuck all. 3 Link to comment

People change their mind daily, you just have to look at posts on here. He's a decent shout and if he's applied then even better, personally don't think it will be a British Manager but as I said before Alex Neil is better than the others mentioned Link to comment

ab24_5qh Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I'd be delighted with Alex Neil, a vast improvement on Glass, Goodwin or Robson. Link to comment

The thing about this is, you hire a completely rookie manager, then you realise you have to hire someone else to mentor him because he's totally incapable of competently doing the job he was hired to do. In that case don't hire the rookie manager... just hire the guy you were going to hire as the experienced heid as manager. Cut out the rookie, save yourself a wage. You either can or you can't do the job with minimal supervision... and if you can't then it's 'aff the roof wi ye'. If you can then you don't need yet another guy hired to do your job for you. What kind of business model brings in someone wholly unqualified to a critical position, then has to have some other cunt hold their hand for them? Maybe I'm old fashioned, but if in a job interview it becomes apparent that the guy you're interviewing has no experience or capacity to do the job you're looking to fill, you shake their hand, thank them for their time, then burn their cv. 1 1 Link to comment
Russell Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Just a thought but we shouldn't be hiring anyone applying for this job, we should be going out and finding the best person. Link to comment

I reckon AI could literally do a better job than any cunt whose name has come up. Worth a try 20 quid a month. Under 800 quid to pay off a three year contract if it Glass/Goodwin/Robson/Warnock's it. 1 Link to comment
