zeroisgod76 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 19 minutes ago, Dandys1983 said: I cant see the point if there is nothing to tell The last statement we had from them over 2 weeks ago was... “Clearly, the number one priority is the engagement of our new First-Team Manager. “The Club, working with our partners, have compiled a shortlist with a combination of individuals we have identified that meet the key criteria we have agreed, and individuals that have expressed serious interest in the role. “We plan to conduct a number of interviews this week and, in certain cases, seek permission to do so where managers are under contract elsewhere. “Our aim is to appoint a First Team Manager during the upcoming international break. In the meantime, Peter Leven will continue in interim charge, assisted by Scott Anderson and Craig Samson.” Even if we're not actually any further forward with an appointment it would still be a good idea for those in charge to provide an update. Even if it was just waffle stating that the process is taking longer than expected. The board have made a rod for their own backs with the previous statement and (maybe naively) the fans have been expecting progress on the matter before the Ross County game based on that statement. Silence from them againwill just prove even more that they don't care one little bit about the paying public. Link to comment

I think some of the anti Lennon bile is bigotry. It may also be a belief that he isn't all that great a manager... Absolute shite min. Apart from your misconception about the phrase stand free you've a cheek to accuse other folk of not wanting Lennon because of some perceived bigotry on your part that you can't back up, especially as the arsehole in question himself falsely accused Aberdeen fans of throwing missiles and sectarian abuse at him during the 2014 LCSF at Tynecastle. I don't want him because he's a divisive, alky, tactically inept, minky looking shitebag who has a history of threatening women. Added to that he has achieved fuck all as a manager apart from when the odds were stacked heavily in his favour by having a budget dwarfing all other teams in the league combined. 6 Link to comment

I meant that I think some of it is, and that stuff I don't warm too. Lennon wouldn't be my first choice of manager either. But I do like the fact he has said he'd be interested, and if it does end up being him, he'd have my full support. I'm no massive fan of the Old Firm, but the best manager we've had in recent memory was closely associated with them. The best manager we've ever had was too. One of my favourite players for us was Jim Bett. I was pretty chuffed when we signed Scott Brown (not everything works out... :)) Link to comment

NEM Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 43 minutes ago, Sharpie said: You could at least see some evidence of coaching on the park. We played some decent but albeit fruitless football under Glass. Goodwin came in and there wasn't much of anything about his team. We looked terrible pretty quickly under him. Robson was trying to implement something and was so dogmatic about it to his own undoing and it ended up just looking like good old fashioned direct football. Perhaps Glass would have faired better with some of the players that subsequently came in. But aye, JET. Goodwins first full season the football up until Christmas was far better than anything the chairmans pet produced. Albeit the wheels came off pretty spectacularly after the world cup break (arrogant cunt fall out with half the squad in Atlanta?) Link to comment

I do remember he came out in the days after that happened and gave a sob story to the assorted weegie press pack as this being another example of him being persecuted in Scotland and why he may have to leave his job and as a consequence that lumped us in with the Hun scum and Wannabe Mini Hun scum. There's been multiple posters on here who have said they witnessed first hand what happened at Tynecastle and their story is completely different to what was reported. Link to comment

Redtaz2 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 It so sad to see where we are viewed now any half decent manager does not appear to see us a viable option , the rumours of interference just don’t go away and that for certain does not enhance our attractiveness IF it is to be Lennon 2 year contract with a 1 year rolling extensions thereafter ,couldn’t see him being here much more than that anyway and wouldn’t have an outrageous cost when he has invariably fallen out of favour on reading the O’Neil interview he seemed to allude to the notion that some in charge in clubs need to be saved from themselves , Dave certainly fits this and I will be surprised if he is appointed However we do require to get someone in or the potential of a calamitous relegation is a distinct possibility Maybe I need to be saved from myself as well , purchase made for the semi final and Ross county game 🤦♂️ 1 Link to comment
