Meanwhile Scott Burns is wanking off the potential next Spartak Moscow manager? Bit random that. 

Did it result in a happy ending?

We could become the 1st club in history to protect 2 managers dignity by smuggling them away from their work in the boot of a car. 

Fuck that, shame the yellow toothed cunt

Who is our backup if he turns us down? 

Aberdeen FC - There is no Plan B

In fact, there's usually no Plan A, when it comes down to it.

burns going all in on Thelin to Aberdeen. 
Previously would have hoped no smoke without fire, but this is Aberdeen…

Quite far back. It would seem Gunner has lost his way with the Aberdeen transport bosses.

Cormack : ‘ Gunner off you go and pick up the new manager Jimmy Thelin at Dyce airport, there’s a good boy ‘

Gunner ‘ on my way boss right now’

Gunner last seen heading past Fraserburgh. Lost.

Eventually makes it to Dyce where Thelin has scarf over his head with a pose of press around him.

Gunner to Thelin ‘ ‘scuse me mate but have you seen anyone called Thelma? He’s our new manager’ 

Could make a comedy series out of Gunner, just need a title…..

It's quite clear Thelin will be the next full time manager of Aberdeen FC. Only question is how soon he will arrive.

Until then it would be marvellous if this thread could be locked.

Ideally. He has verbally said yes to Aberdeen, but elfsborg playing hard ball re compensation. Until that sorted (if it will) nothing be done.

How can elfsborg play hard ball? The minimum expectation from Aberdeen should be paying his contract in full and if they did that there’s fuck all elfsborg could do to stop him leaving?

That only works if they play along with it. He could walk but then they could sue him for breach of contract possibly? Then we could pay that, but it would have to go before courts first - at least being raised with them. That's if they wanted to play hard ball. Basically we and any other team don't have any right to someone just because we pay out their contract. 

Of course this is fitba so god knows what wacky permutation we'll come up with.

Who's to say what clauses are in his contract? Also Elfsborg don't HAVE to let him go if Aberdeen are offering to pay out his entire contract that's not exactly how contracts work.

Typing shite, about a shite, whilst doing a shite. 
Hopefully.

If what you're saying is true, then he doesn't want to come. 
 

Managerial transfers are generally pretty straightforward so long as the manager wants to leave to elsewhere.

We will probably end up with Shaun Maloney and James Forrest or some shite like that.  Come on Jimmy sign on the dotted line.  A rowie awaits you.

 Cuckoo stuff. This will come down to money as usual in football. Assuming he’s a target he’s not been offered enough to force the issue or he thinks a better job may come available.

How else do contracts work? Thats why I said minimum expectation. If he has a release contract then you need to pay that fee. If he doesn’t then both he and Aberdeen can force the issue by paying out his contract. 
 

I don’t even believe we’re looking at him fully. But if we genuinely have been trying to sign him up all this dithering is a poor reflection on Aberdeen.

Would it be a shock if Aberdeen are pissing about offering Elfsborg way less than the compensation trigger point?

Would be an evening bigger shock if Thelin ends up as our boss, I'm just not believing all the Swedish flag posts in here, think if he was coming it would be over the line by now.

But I'd love to be shocked
