RedArrow Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 1 hour ago, RedRevolution said: All quite pessimistic Minijc. Big JC was an optimist - whether your named after the great Jimmy Calderwood or Jesus Christ - optimists. Yes Union Street is a mess repeated coonsils without a clue have brought that about. No the club's name clearly isn't as well known or as highly regarded as it was many years ago - but it's still a well known name. You see that when we sign players from around Europe. And I agree the execution has been poor - but it was born out of ambition. Cormack wants to energise things - he has ambition and vision. He got some things wrong - I'm sure he would admit that but I've got to admire his balls. If I had sunk millions into AFC much as a Iove it to take the shit that is dished out by ungrateful so called fans and to put up with the inadequate performances of the collective effort - I would be close to packing it in. If we get beat I can hardly speak to anyone civilly for about five days - he has to pick himself up and motivate others. So he definitely has ambition and he doesn't give up easily. Anyway - back to Aberdeen it's hugely attractive to anyone with ambition. With a bit of luck and a lot of patience we might make some progress . Hopefully JT will improve minijc's positivity. COYR Cheers Mr Gunn. Link to comment

fine-n-dandy Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 For those asking if it’s officially confirmed. Club won’t be daft enough to confirm until June 1st so we’re easily getting 550 pages before that Link to comment

Let's get right behind the Viking revolution and remember this is a very big job. A complete overhaul is required and things won't be put right overnight. So with that in mind I'm going to be ultra patient and I'm willing to get fully behind the new management team for at least two years win, lose or draw. Time for us all to park the negativity. Put the knives away and unite as one. If we do that the sky is the limit. I hear you and I admire the optimism. It’s a big gig and miracles shouldn’t be expected, but to some extent they will be. He will get 2 transfer windows before the pressure really ramps up, but even if we sign and lose non of the current squad (hypothetically) the expectation from the fans will be that we’re still in the top 4 or 5 next season, from the get go. we’re a fickle bunch, sadly and not renowned for patience. the sentiment behind your post is bang on, just can’t see it playing out like that for 2 years, if there isn’t a material improvement. I’m not being negative, just basing this on the majority of our history and treatment of managers post 1990. We will demand immediate and sustained improvement. Link to comment
Russell Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I think he will get the benefit of the doubt from the fans as, unlike at least 2 of the last 3, he has a history in management, a tactical identity that he will hopefully stick to and won't be relying on his brother in law to run the team. 2 Link to comment
El Pacino Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 If the club is signing players on data then how can we blame the manager when he ain’t the one signing them? Gunn should have been binned when Glass went!! Link to comment
a don in oz Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Whoever we get, whether it ends up being this lad or someone else, can we please try and all commit to giving them a couple of seasons to get us right? As long as they don't put us in relegation shit like the last few have managed with us. If we are mid table but a project is building, then lets just keep the heid. (This is just a message for the rest of you. I retain the right to piss in the bed if we're shite next season. ) Link to comment

Arthur FN Shelby Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 One that might lose out is Jonny Hayes. Think he was after a coaching job with the club when he retires this summer. That post might not be available now. Link to comment
sooth_stander Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 It’s a risk, like all managerial appointments are, and the “data” indicates more Daniel Stendals and Ebbe Skovdals than not, in Scottish fitba. But, the club should be applauded for this approach. Not exactly rocket science, as a large sample size from this fine fans forum could have told them that a foreign manager was the way to go. Let’s get behind him and hope the RedShed lay off the chants, should things get off to a slow start 1 Link to comment

Makes perfect sense. Like what I am reading about Thelin. It will take time for consistent improvement to kick in but with Leven around that can only assist that process. I am one of Cormack's biggest critics but, for once, I will give credit where credit is due. I have a good Thelin about this potential appointment. COYR!! Link to comment

No point in getting these guys over from Sweden if Cormack continues to micro manage the club and recruit the squad on his laptop. He needs to act like a normal chairman otherwise Thelin will be away in 12 months.Wonder if any developments on the new technical director? 1 1 Link to comment
