The Dandy Dons of Aberdeen on Facebook also saying the same. One from reading back posts on here and then copied by the other 🤣🤣

nearly every thread on here gets copy and pasted onto that FB page, don't think there's ever been one post they have actually thought of for themselves

If I could I’d administer multiple dildii, one for every orifice.

Aberdeen FC are looking to re-hire Neil Warnock as interim manager until the end of the season.

Alec Neil would fuck off back to England at the first opportunity. Avoid.

Doesn’t matter who we appoint they will fuck of to England at the first opportunity if they do well so no point worrying about that

It does make a mockery of spending however many tens (hundreds?) of thousands on this review and getting assistance identifying managerial candidates just to appoint a manager who's name has been linked every time we've been looking for a new manager under Cormack anyway

Aye but you’re forgetting, the report validated a lot of the practices already in place, so paid for itself already

Sorry, that was for my facebook page 🤣

We all know Neil will jump ship as sooner as a better offer comes in from down south, but don't think the Thelin and Rosler won't either. They all consider us as a stepping stone to a bigger job if they do well. Which ever of the 3 of them gets the job will also be flirting with every championship team that requires a manager. We've just got to hope the board have actually learnt something from this and have contingency plans for when they leave in 18 months time.

Do the dildii scale or are they of uniform girthage? 

A chode up the nostril would not be a good time.

Have to say the club have done awfy well in keeping everything under wraps.  Not a murmur or morsel who has even been interviewed for certain.

Neil would at least having something to prove and need to do well to enhance his long term prospects, a bit like McInnes when he came to us having failed down south. The downside is the only reason he’s within reach is due to failing in England (repeatedly) but that’s where we are with that type of appointment. 
 

I wouldn’t be thrilled with it but we could do worse, a competent manager would be a massive step up from the last few appointments.

Whats Rosler done?  He's had a few jobs in England is he not a Lee Johnson type?

A second manager in our long history to leave us for a higher paying job? It'll never happen in this generation

Love this angle

So, what, it's better to not get a manager who does well enough to be wanted by a bigger club?

Superb

Agree with all that, but it would be a nice change if someone left after 18 months due to being successful rather than us sacking them

Probably because we haven't got round to interviewing anyone yet, such is the clubs level of incompetence just now

Much more plausible 

[jamiesd]

Lee Johnson not got a similar record to Neil?  I mean Neil went into the Premiership with Norwich but did they not ditch him as they were moyder?

Which is the case with every failed manager. Why is that seen as some sort of positive?

A great fit then....  Rather short term in most of his jobs and a disaster at Leeds.  Another no

Missed the point here completely MT. The point I'm making is we are a stepping stone to bigger things for these guys and I doubt the board will understand that until its too late. 

For what it's worth, I think all three would be decent appointments. 

[zeroisgod76]

Wish people would stop going on about how great Alex Neil's track record is. He over achieved with Hamilton for half a season in the Scottish Premier and had 2 seasons with Norwich and Sunderland that he got them promotion via playoffs after taking over in January/February with them both already in a good position in the league. So 3 semi decent half seasons in 10 years as a manager, other than that he's been nothing special at all.

He'd be a completely uninspiring appointment by the FMB, as such welcome aboard Alex.

Surely we’re a stepping stone for any manager then?

He can’t bounce when the going got tough the same way a young foreign manager on an upward trend could. Not saying I would prefer someone that has failed to come in, but they would have “skin in the game” and it would be as important to them as it was us.

I live close to Joe Savage (Hearts Sporting Director) who knows Alex Neil well from their time working together at Preston and Norwich.

I was speaking to him when Warnock was announced and asked if Neil was in the frame/would be interested. He said he's been on 6 figure salaries down south and doubted we could even afford him....even if he was interested, which he probably isn't. 

He’s not earning at the mo, so 6 figures is better than nothing…

We probably are. Any ambitious player or manager probably don't see a move to us as the pinnacle of their career anymore.

Let's give the job to Jim Goodwin then when Dundee United sack him.

Would have a point to prove, knows the club, likely to have a second promotion on his record by the end of the season, etc.
