Well if the story from the weekend that the shortlist of 3 contained 1 UK manager and 2 foreign ones and the UK one has said no thanks then that just leaves the 2 foreign managers left on the shortlist.

Reed or deed Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 2 hours ago, RUL said: Why would we need a technical director and director of football? They have them in Europe because they have huge set ups which are typically : first team b teams (u23s) u21s u19s u18s down we have first team and u18s. The u18s have dedicated coaches. Our u18 set up involves a head of youth (which has been unfilled) and a head of coaching. We also have a head of early development. we already have a “pathways” manager who’s job it is to manage youngsters who move up from u18s but aren’t ready for first team and give them loans. all our recruitment is done by a dedicated recruitment manager. it’s clear the technical director at Aberdeen will have no say in who manages the team. As they aren’t filling the role before appointing the manager, assuming we can even appoint someone. Last season the womens role was filled by head of youth as we couldn’t fill the role. The director of football at Aberdeen doesn’t have qualifications to take any football teams. we also have a chief executive who’s role seems to breach into everything including football. We have a commercial manager. we have a football monitoring board and finally one of the most interfering chairman in club football. Aberdeen fc structure is absolutely crazy as it is and adding more layers is a nonsense. It’s a deliberate attempt to fudge responsibility as they aren’t happy with the fans attacking the individuals such as burrows and Cormack. Bring in someone new and give the fans a new scapegoat. we have a male team averaging 14,000 u18s average attendance about 80 women averaging about 150. its anyone guess what the fuck goes on at Aberdeen all week with the amount of people employed these days who’s role seems to be covered by 2 or 3 people it’s little wonder nobody makes a decision about fucking anything. 😂 Nailed it 👍 Link to comment

starryfish Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 If it is to be O’Neill then he has to be only Aberdeen manager rather than part time with Ireland and part time at Pittodrie Link to comment
TheRedPrawcess Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 33 minutes ago, Red Clive 1995 said: 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. Happy clappers if he's good? So just merited applause then? Link to comment

Sheepskin_1903 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Some people are quite off the mark 😂 Can’t be appointing a manager if he’s not 100% focussed on the task at hand, as that’s not in the interests of either Aberdeen or Northern Ireland. This won’t be happening. Link to comment

Matt Armstrong's Dog Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 22 minutes ago, The Gee Man said: No compensation if he does both. Sir Alex managed to combine Alex Ferguson only temporarily presided over approx. 7 matches (2 v. Australia, 1 v. England (Rous Cup), forget the other opponents) plus the 3 games at Mexico '86 as Scotland manager For all of the time he was the national manager, half of it was on a part-time basis, the other half being of a full time nature. Never thought of this until now but with Ferguson becoming manager of Scotland after Jock Stein's demise in September 1985, this may or may not have impacted on our chances of winning the title for the third year in a row.🤔 I know we won the Skol Cup and Scottish Cup in season 85/86, and got to the QF of the European Cup😔. However, it's just a theory. 1 Link to comment

In this case I don’t agree unfortunately when you realise a mistake has been made you correct it, not leave it to play out. Relegation is still a threat which could have been corrected in early December Link to comment
