Many points gained for a single goal defeat these days? Link to comment

Willo flood Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Unless we are on the very bare bones of candidates who have actually been a manger before, and i’m talking Neil Lennon bare bones, then there’s no chance we are going after an assistant manager. We are not going to go down the vastly inexperienced route again surely Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I know it's a big risk for us but there will be talent in the backroom teams of the top English clubs. Look at that boy Kieran McKenna. His record is absolutely unbelievable for a first managerial gig. Played 125, won 75, only lost 19. Previous jobs were on the coaching staff at Spurs and Manchester United. If he gets Ipswich up again then he's going to have the pick of the jobs in England for his next gig. Would be a brave move at this time though to go for another rookie. Link to comment

Thats the thing though, if there was a proper structure in place throughout the football operation and there was a competent Director Of Football in place all teams from youth to first team would play the same way and the identification of a new manager who plays the same style of football would start the day Thelin was introduced, succession planning that happens at all successful clubs and should be what we are aiming for, not the shambles we are just now, we are absolutely clueless. 1 Link to comment

Might work in a new managers favour. Blank canvas with his own type of player. Had me until Barron another one ‘full of promise’ with not much delivery….. 1 1 Link to comment

The thing is, imo, if our squad was half decent then the players would be able to adapt to any managers ‘style of play’. But they’re, not. We brought in some utter dross last summer with a mindset of ‘if they’re costing transfer fees, they must be good’. We sure spunked a lot of cash stupidly. 3 Link to comment

I agree with everything you said, but he has his own style and his current side play what I'd class as different to anything in the UK at the moment. But I know what your getting at and agree if the structure is correct then you have half a chance of success  23 minutes ago, Weir on the wing said: The thing is, imo, if our squad was half decent then the players would be able to adapt to any managers ‘style of play’.  Not entirely correct that, you can't make a non ball playing centre into a ball playing Centre half as an example, also alot of the midfield roles nowadays managers buy players to fit the role, not make the player fit the role they want them to play, good example of that is Endo at Liverpool. Robson tried to use Shinnie in the Ramadani role at start of season but he wasn't as disciplined as Ramadani thus couldn't play it, that's been out problem of late square pegs in round holes. There is also an argument that Aberdeen FC are trying to make football as a whole too complex and to a certain extent I agree. Link to comment

A decent manager will get the best tune out of a squad either by the players adapting to his style or by him being more flexible or, more likely, both. Whatever it takes… Regardless, we spent dreadfully last summer and no system will work without us removing the rot. 1 Link to comment
