I guarantee next January we will be calling for his head. Suppose it’s something to look forward too. His record everywhere is just so mediocre Link to comment

His record everywhere is just so mediocre When have aberdeen football club ever hired a manager with a better than "mediocre" record? If they were better than that they would have no interest in joining us in the first place. Alex ferguson was a mediocre appointment at the time. As was mcinnes. Link to comment

DelMonte Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Once again, no plan. How can they not have seen this coming for weeks? The next update will be “the search for a new manager will start…”. It should have been started 3 months ago. This club is a fucking shambles and it rests on one man. Get him to fuck. 1 5 Link to comment

Not the worst shout in the world, however I'm not sure Warnock would go for that. He's got too much hunger and bite to sit in the background and watch somebody else manage the team. He's been a manager for far too long, can't teach an old dog new tricks Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Alex Neil would be a sensible appointment. Demonstrable core competence over a period of time. Which is why I don't expect them to give him the job. 5 Link to comment

ERNIE Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Whoever is the next manager needs to survive next December/January.Seems to be the months when we go downhill.Mcinnes last season we were our best results in years first half of season.Goodwin had us third before the break.Robson was up and down but we did have some good results and performances and we're in a cup final and we were supposed to improve once no European travel.Glass started well enough but again downhill Dec/Jan.Maybe its the shorter days....

We’re told we have a list of contingency plans for players leaving, but you can guarantee we don’t have the same for the manager’s job. Just appoint some idiot & hope for the best. Then be taken by surprise at the fans’ anger, sack the manager and scramble around again. Link to comment

The whole club are so negligent. As I said, it starts at the top. Cormack is a piece of shit who needs to get to fuck and let someone else take over. Link to comment

A pro active board would have started the process of identifying replacements the minute Robson was named manager and ramped that process up before Christmas and would have had Robson gone prior to the cup final. They are absolutely useless and unfit for purpose. FMB? Disband that asap and take in some professionals that know something about football and how a football club should operate. Cormack - Fantasist, Milne - waste of space, Burrows - Empty vessel, Garner - Dinasaur, Gunn - inept and as out of depth in his role as Robson was in his, get them all to fuck. A complete laughing stock. Just when you think we couldn't possible fuck things up any more we do it again a year later, then a year later again. Absolute shit show, total joke. I could live with an experienced interim (not Lennon FFS) if it meant a restructure of the football operation. Take in a new fit for purpose DOF & HOR, fire Gunn or put him in some administrator role, replace Milne and Garner for starters. Link to comment

Johnnyred1 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 There's just something about Alex Neal's demeanour. He looks depressed everytime you see him. Mind you, it's the same with Stevie Clark and he turned out all right. Footnote; I'm sure if we all stare into a mirror right now there will be a fair few depressed faces staring back this morning 😆 1 Link to comment

I think we do have player targets but it’s the idiots in charge of negotiating any deals, i.e. Gunn. I’d be all for Cormack leaving if there was a line of investors looking to take it off his hands but as far as I’m aware there isn’t. If he just employed experience in key positions instead of his little puppets we’d be in a much better state. Link to comment
