Firstly, I'll say a bit about the city/region. I've worked with a lot of people from different parts of the world who all thought the NE was a fantastic place. Low crime rate. Lots of green space. Coast line - mountains a short drive away. Quite cosmopolitan and reasonably affluent compared to other parts of the UK / World. Then there is the club - still a recognisable name Europe. Presented well in Europe this year. Attendances on the up. An ambitious board whose aim is to have us in annual European Competition. Good training ground. Manager's salary it is reported that competed with Championship manager wages. Good fan base but all the negative nutters rally on a site called afc-chat. Explanation that things have gone wrong last few seasons because ambition and timing led to the wrong appointments - all of whom were handsomely rewarded as they left the building. If you've got any balls and ambition it's a great opportunity - ask Kevin Thomson. Just don't upset the 30/40 naysayers on afc-chat. In fact - don't worry about them because nothing you do will ever be good enough - just crack on. I think you were supposed to write that in Swedish Link to comment

A bottom club in a league that is no better than ours. Terrible weather/climate. Horrible food culture. Not very much better paid? Insecure employment (coaches are rolling on a conveyor belt there). Have a hard time imagining that Jimmy would be an incredibly big whiskey fan, which might outweigh everything else? Would have understood if something happened with Sunderland, for example. But Aberdeen!? ." Would have understood if it was Sunderland who average about three managers a season at the moment 😅 Does well here he'll be off to England. Simple as that. We're shit just now but there's decent upside here. Link to comment

In fact - don't worry about them because nothing you do will ever be good enough - just crack on. Actually lets go through this, Aberdeen the city is on it's fucking knees, with a high street that looks horrendous. I don 't think the clubs name is as recognisable as it once was, in fact I know that the club has a wee bit of a bad reputation amongst players, coaches and agents throughout the game. It's all fine and well having an ambitious board but their execution thus far has been diabolical, could argue that ambitious boards don't hire Glass, Goodwin and Robson, they then don't panic and take in Neil Warnock whilst fucking about for 3 months to get a permanent manager. If we paid Glass, Goodwin or Robson anything close to a championship level wage then that just proves how utterly fucking clueless some people at the club are. It's also not a brag when you hire inept people, that's just a huge waste of fucking money. Things have went wrong due to poor execution from this making the decisions, inexperienced managers and director of football, total abandonment of the strategy and philosophy. 1 Link to comment

I'm not buying this June 1st thing. I reckon an agreement will be brockered whereby they (Elfsborg) get their replacements in within the next few weeks and Jimmy takes over then, for the post split shit Link to comment

Simple as that. We're shit just now but there's decent upside here. Any manager with any ounce of self belief must look at us and see us as a good opportunity. Big budget compared to most of the league, a good chance at getting to cup finals (even Robson made one ffs) and possibly winning something, regular attempts at getting group stage football in Europe if you can just be competent. I don't know much/anything about Elfsborg, but maybe he's achieved all he can there? Link to comment

But then I saw his condescending 'definitely won't be Thelin, don't know what to tell you' shite. Zero is blocked so fuck knows what he said but probably the usual shite that I don't want to read.
