Coleman failed at every club he's been at since.

So has O'Neill though and is currently failing in the job he has right now.

[Weir on the wing]

If my memory serves me right, not so very long ago Michael O’Neill, during his first incarnation as NI boss, was unaffordable to the SFA as Scotland boss and consequently, they appointed Clarke.

I’m not against the guy but he’s relatively untested at club level, in any capacity…this feels like a very big gamble.

I do struggle to see why O'Neill would leave an international team job where there's fairly low expectations and only a few games to prepare for each year, for what is likely to be a significantly lower wage at a club with huge expectations, run by an awkward chairman in a pretty grim league. You'd imagine he could probably pick up a job in the English Championship at some point in the future if he wanted a change. He also has years left of his contract and it'll cost a significant amount to buy that out. 

I can't really see what would motivate him to make the move unless we are somehow offering him the same kind of terms - and even then it's the same money for more hassle.

Money’s the obvious reason.

He hasn’t done as well second time around with NI , so maybe the old adage about never going back is applicable to some extent.

And I’d imagine that a fair number of their fanbase might have been prepared to tolerate a successful Catholic manager ….but far more hostile towards an unsuccessful one.
MON’s Wikipedia page mentions him being a Catholic and some friction several months ago with a section of bigoted dirty Orange huncunt bastards in the support ….(I’m paraphrasing there).

So it wouldn’t surprise me if MON is looking for an early exit strategy and we might suit him fine.

Leaving Derby on the brink of the championship for us? I think not.

I never said it would happen, someone asked for names I provided a pointless one.

Hopefully a scarf above the head photo and an appointment tomorrow as this has dragged on and is way beyond a joke.

Bespectacled gameshow giant Richard Osman? A CV including Pointless and House of Games seems perfect for the pointless house of games that is AFC just now.

Aye…..laziness

[Tord31]

It's getting towards end game for us to find out if it's MON or not.

I suspect today but at least in the next 24 hours.

I'm still hopeful its not him

To be fair, the club said an announcement during the international break

It's what it looks like they will do

Everyone's just worked themselves up into a frenzy since - that's not the clubs fault

Assuming it’s O’Neill it’s likely it was always him so your right.

we can't really afford him to get itchy feet in a years time and wants to go back to the International scene!

We can if we are bottom 6 and doing shite 🤣

and if it is him there is a possibility he was going to come in the summer for perhaps a contractual reason and see out the four friendlies and hence Warnock.

but lets see today.

if the northern ireland squad and entourage find out its his last game then its sure to leak out today

[McPhee123]

I don't want MoN, and the only real evidence that it might be him is that everyone seems to have settled on it being the most likely appointment.

His interviews have been ambiguous but also didn't suggest he was in "advanced talks" at all...

 

One thing is for sure, the FMB are good at keeping secrets.

You'll get no argument from me on that one.

So.... who is the next manager going to be?

I disagree 

[Red Clive 1995]

I don’t see why everyone gets their knickers in a twist about the new manager. History suggests he’ll be bombed out within 2 years if he’s crap. If he’s good you’ll all be happy clappers. 
 

Just chill out, more often than not, Aberdeen are fucking shite, it’s this weird thing most of our fans have that we have a divine right to be good. We aren’t very good, other than sir Alex era, we’ve been pretty shite. 
 

Keep the heid, you’ll all want the next manager sacked in a years time.

I think we should aim for 6 months this time.

Just to be clear as I can’t think of a single manager that is currently managing a team when asked about links to another club at the pre match interview has ever said “Fuck it yes I’m offski after this one”.

Unless there are no secrets to keep, we've maybe not even started interviewing yet.

Michael O'Neill

It's got to be from the last few days developments
