Now why would I name the players?  I could say some other things though, like a few of the players playing are dealing with injuries, injuries that would have them out but due to the lack of options in our amazing squad they are having to play.

Very funny post, pal.

You lose credibility with the 'EPL fanboy' pish, hardly watch the league, I know he's managed there years ago but that isn't my reasoning for being happy with us taking him in.

I think you should also look at our record against the lesser sides this season, it's been awful even when Robson was manager, at least now the club know which players are worth keeping or which ones need binning.

I really don't because that's predominantly the people who thought he'd be good. The kinda blokes who listen to talksport and watch sky sports news. 

Not everyone who thought he'd be good is like that obviously but most are.

Thanks for your kind words. You’ll be the one ending horizontal.

I’m getting concerned about your health.  And right now you need all the vertical friends you can get.  It’s only a game of football.

It’s your own health you should be concerned about.

Go play with the traffic.

No it isn't, half the folk on here who thought it would be good have little to no interest in English football. 

I've never actually sat down and watched skysports news, last listened to talksport several years ago and I rarely watch EPL games, I just felt he was the best candidate for the job based on the experience he has at a higher level than this league.

In this league that he knows nothing about. 

People also seemed to forget that he's a total wanker.

So you must know this league to manage a club in it?

I actually really like Stephen Robinson. But just cause he’s at another SPFL team it just feels like it would be another crap appointment like the many others. Too burnt by these

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Random thought. 
 

is 2018-19 the last time Aberdeen went the full season from August to May with the same manager?

Nah, not at all, but in an emergency situation, like the one he was brought in to, I'd say it's required. 

Knowing absolutely fuck all about us, our players and our opponents isn't ideal for a short-term stop-gap appointment who doesn't have time to learn about them.

You have zero evidence that that was the case, just guess to suit your argument against him.

I agree

Different personality I admit but I do think he'd prove to be essentially a mk2 version of Goodwin.

Robinson has achieved much more than Goodwin had when we appointed him. Goodwin ok at alloa and kept St mirren up but nothing special. Robinson 3rd with well and 2 cup finals in a season. Followed by back to back top 6 finishes for St mirren now. 

If we are going to appoint someone with spl experience like a lennon or Jack I'd rather we just paid for Robinson. 

If we go foreign what are the chances we are here next year saying we should have gone safer with Robinson. Equally if Robinson were appointed and fails the "I told you so, lazy recruitment force etc ", will be out in numbers. 

We are a mess. Who knows what kind of manager we need to succeed, but right now I'm leaning towards a safer spl Robinson/mcinnes type than a gamble on a foreigner.

As I've said above.  "Too Burnt by these" but we could end up with a total car crash foreign manager like Alessio was at Killie. Can we afford to get it wrong again?

My "argument against him" is the shambolic performances and results under him.

That it was pretty predictable that he was completely unsuited to the role in the first case is more an argument against Cormack/Burrows/Gunn tbh.

Incredibly we're actually significantly worse under him than Robson, which is an incredible achievement by Warnock tbf. 

[McginnAgain]

Robinson has twice tried his hand down south, and twice was ditched after approx 6 months.

Yeah one of the most experienced managers in British football was unsuited to the job of Aberdeen manager, magical.

I know and looking back it was startlingly obvious too. 👍

He still has our previous 'management teams'  coaching staff 'helping' him

Are we though?

We were worse down at St Mirren earlier in the season and somehow scarped a point, embarrassing performances away to Killie and Hibs this season when Warnock wasn't the manager, if anything it shows how shite some of the squad really is.

Last I checked there was, Aberdeen are a British club, Neil Warnock is a British citizen, he has managed in England which is part of Great Britain.

Staunch🇬🇧

[Ke1t]

Checking out Robinson's experience... 

Sacked after 6 months as Oldham manager with them sitting bottom of League 1. 

Quit Motherwell with them sitting 10th, following a 9 game winless streak. 

Quit Morcambe after 33 games to join St Mirren with the English side sitting in a relegation spot in league 1. 

Currently has St Mirren 4th, a point ahead of 5th spot McInnes' Killie. 

He's had a few good cup runs, and made Europe with Motherwell... but I'm not wildly impressed by the guy's CV, and he'd be way, way down any list of candidates I was drawing up.

That’s not really true is it? Even if it was, how would you know? 

Also, who gives a fuck anyway if someone listened to Talksport? You can have an interest in other leagues outside of Scotland and still be pretty knowledgeable about football.

Yeah but anyone who's not a total idiot wouldn't listen to Talksport. 

[minijc]

Pointing out that he is one of the most experienced managers in British football is hardly going to bizarre lengths to defend him ffs.

Some fucking arrogance on show from you today Parky, great stuff.

[milne_afc]

He’s one of the most experienced managers in world football 😎

"British football" isn't a thing. You're attempting to imply he knows about our game by saying "British football" 😂

He knows English football, no arguing about that. He knew close to fuck all about Scottish football though, that's for damn sure.
