Have a hard time imagining that Jimmy would be an incredibly big whiskey fan, which might outweigh everything else? Would have understood if something happened with Sunderland, for example.

This bit is interesting, I wonder if they're losing Svensson (their sporting director) as well. The report states that Elfsborg are “working on an agreement” to bring in a new coaching team of Oscar Hiljemark, who is currently head coach of Aalborg in Denmark, and current Swedish FA technical director, Peter Wettergren, 56. Edit: nah. Wettergren is a long time assistant, including a good spell at Elfsborg. Link to comment
Turra red Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 On paper this seems like it would be a great appointment however I feel we may need to give him a chance to implement his style and get his style of players. Something that pisses me off is when pundits say we as dons fans are too quick to jump onto the throat of our managers. They clearly haven't watched us. I could accept our position slightly more if you could see some sort of style or signs that we are starting to go somewhere but it's just been clueless from top to bottom. One managers players don't suit the next managers style so.we overhaul then repeat and to be fair I could see that happening again this summer. 1 3 Link to comment

Exactly, the average league position when Robson, Goodwin and Glass was sacked was probably about 8th or 9th with all signs showing at the time that things were going to get worst (possible exception of Glass if he had all the resources available to Robson especially) Link to comment
