State of the cunt. 

Must have had an absolute BASTARD of a paper roond.

Klinsmann would be a great appointment. I’ll be disappointed if it’s anybody else.

Most probably looking at how good a job Goodwin is doing at United.

When’d he start doing a good job like?

How do you know who had made it to the interview phase?

I have 100% trust in the accuracy, honesty, insight and integrity behind the names suggested by our wonderous free press.

Have I missed something as people seem to know who is getting interviewed? Is this just more guess work or have names been leaked? 

I'd like Alex neil as feel he has a reasonable age to experience ratio but sure it was said previously by some of the "itk" folk that he wasn't interested in returning to Scotland but now he is being interviewed? 

It's literally all guess work, I'd be willing to put a tenner on the next manager not being anybody mentioned in this thread so far.

If we end up with Alex Neil then we're done for.

Yeah Absolutley. But I don’t want the doom and gloom appointment that may eventually work out. I want the appointment to get as much fans onside as possible straight away. My fear is when they are interviewing people like lambert what happens if he is very good at interviews? Is the interview taken above his credentials? I also don’t understand how some are getting a interview as they don’t fit into the dynamic we want to go in unless the review has changed that. I can live with Neil and O’Neil being spoke to but people like lambert shouldn’t be getting near a interview.  We have also been told that the review has helped us select candidates. Are we to believe this German lad has suggested these names? 

Any idea who is on the interview panel?

Does Bernhard's involvement stop now the report has been delivered, or is he (or his representatives) actively involved in choosing a technical director and head coach that fit the structure they suggested?

Interesting the shouts for Clarke but Scotland squad for next few games just announced! 4 Goalkeepers and only 3 Strikers

It’s the FMB who will ignore the “review “

The statement from the club indicated they would be involved with both of these appointments. 

Of course going by the opinions of 90% of the people in this forum it's all lies and he probably never even existed.

That it’s not adventurous Football and more bland. Wins some matches but uninspiring

Exactly

I was really excited when we appointed Mark McGhee and was relentlessly underwhelmed we appointed McInnes

Thank fuck you are not part of the interview process then 🤣

So what your saying is because Clarke picked 4 keepers for friendlies to see who’s best for the upcoming tournament he qualified for, to see what ones he’s going to pick for the final squad, that’s in some way proof of what?… crap manager?, not good enough for Aberdeen?.

ahhhhhhahahahahah,

It’s not guess work at all. I suspect/hope they are back ups if our main options turn us down.

We have the rest of this season and the first couple of weeks after the end of the season to appoint someone and still give us a good amount of time to operate in the summer transfer window.

If we end up with Neil Lennon, Alex Neil or Mark Fucking Fotheringham then we can just go right ahead and accept that the heights of our boards ambitions for the foreseeable future will be "top 6 football and a semi-final".

He's only 42 and been managing in England for nearly 9 years. at both Premiership and Championship level winning 2 playoff finals at Wembley in that time.

I'd have him in a minute, its better stats than McInnes before he was appointed as our manager.

Anyone expecting a much bigger name than Alex Neil needs to take a look at reality.  

[Yerdas Selzavon]

Lets be honest here most in this thread are desperate for Lennon or Lambert etc to be the only people we interview as it gives you something to demand Cormack's head for.

 

So so tedious

Without everyone reverting back to Derek Mcinnes, should he have stayed or gone. (Personally I was delighted to see the back of him) 

He’s annoyingly still the bench mark for our next coach. 

There was next to no fanfare when he arrived and hardly that exciting. So let’s all not get our thongs, jock straps and French knickers in a twist regardless who it is. 

[JumboJET]

Just heard that Grave Colgate has thrown a shitload of money at Marc White - owner, chairman, and manager at Dorking Wanderers - to become AFC manager / technical director.

Agree if that’s the level the review has unearthed I’d be asking for a rebate. Will be great for the manager to review the squad if taken in soon. 
 

what I would say is that I do struggle to decide what is realistic. Like 1 of the better managers in Scandinavia for example would surely be achievable if we were paying anything like we did for mcinnes?

I'm not sure that I understand this philosophy that a Scandinavian manager somehow has better credentials than Alex Neil. Neil to be fair has a pretty decent CV and also cut his teeth in Scotland.

We can do a lot lot worse than Alex Neil to be honest.

- Leagues of a similar size and stature

- (Generally) better brands of football

- Consistent European participation on budgets that are not wildly dissimilar

We talk about Scandinavian managers because on the whole they tend to have experience at the level we are trying to attain. 

 

There are more managers in world football than alex neil

For me most Scandinavian coaches will be used to the structure we apparently have in place. 

Quite a lot of them have good track records in bringing through youth players as well and a lot are often punching above their weight with a modest budget.

Uninspiring. You must've missed our last qualification campaign, where we were incredibly inspiring, including battering Spain at Hampden in which the 2-0 score line flattered them.

If AN has indeed applied would more than welcome his appointment. 

Did very well initially at Norwich but EPL is always too much of a step up for clubs like Norwich. 

Again started well at Preston and was the one that eventually got Sunderland promoted again before mysteriously jumping to Stoke, where MoN also failed.

It also must be noted that Neil also did very well on a non existent budget at Hamilton. 

If he's interested and shows up well at the interview(s) would be a no brainer appointment IMO.

I think we are trying to be set up around the lines of  FC Midtjylland / FC Nordsjaelland, I think that's Cormack's vision for the club. 

So having people that are used to that set up will help. 

But knowing us we end of with Lambert as Technical director and Lennon as First Team manager 🤣 

I would have Alex Neil as Manager though
