Turra red Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 @minijc have you any idea if thelin would have been a top target or if he was well down the list? Hats off to the board if they stuck to trying to get their man all this time. 1 Link to comment
RUL Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 49 minutes ago, Turra red said: 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. I agree. I feel we are quick to see through bullshit but if we could see a manager had a plan we’d definitely stick with it Link to comment

A bottom club in a league that is no better than ours. Terrible weather/climate. Horrible food culture. Not very much better paid? Insecure employment (coaches are rolling on a conveyor belt there). 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. But Aberdeen!? ." Surprised if it’s based on whiskey but I’m guessing we’re offering a bigger financial package. Having been to Sweden I don’t think the food culture is particularly brilliant Link to comment

I suppose it could happen quicker but we would need to have an extremely good transfer window this summer and we'll have to be lucky with injuries too. Link to comment

Surely a far better option than the likes of O'Neill. Us getting a manager on an upward trajectory is a huge plus. 1 Link to comment

There are many indications that Elfsborg will not only lose Thelin - several other leaders are expected also leave. 2 Link to comment

Swedish media clearly a bit more clued up than our clueless cunts Bit disappointed he won’t be here before the end of the season Was hoping for a new manager bounce and a miracle in the cup Link to comment

Why on earth would he wait until June if all parties know he is leaving anyway. Its not as if June is the end of their season. Makes no sense unless he is safeguarding against us going down.

Don't see too much of an issue with it if the contract is signed and its 100% guaranteed he's coming on 1st June. If we're waiting until then for him to make a decision then it doesn't make any sense as we could be left at the start of June back at square one again a few weeks before pre season starts if he changes his mind.

But Aberdeen!? ." You're not a fan of club or city then? I wouldn't want to rely on you promoting our interests abroad. Firstly, I'll say a bit about the city/region. I've worked with a lot of people from different parts of the world who all thought the NE was a fantastic place. Low crime rate. Lots of green space. Coast line - mountains a short drive away. Quite cosmopolitan and reasonably affluent compared to other parts of the UK / World. Then there is the club - still a recognisable name Europe. Presented well in Europe this year. Attendances on the up. An ambitious board whose aim is to have us in annual European Competition. Good training ground. Manager's salary it is reported that competed with Championship manager wages. Good fan base but all the negative nutters rally on a site called afc-chat. Explanation that things have gone wrong last few seasons because ambition and timing led to the wrong appointments - all of whom were handsomely rewarded as they left the building. If you've got any balls and ambition it's a great opportunity - ask Kevin Thomson. Just don't upset the 30/40 naysayers on afc-chat. In fact - don't worry about them because nothing you do will ever be good enough - just crack on. 1 2 2 4 4 Link to comment
