Aye, so did away with the DoF role altogether? I’ll buy that.

Are we big enough to even require a DoF? Seems like a job created for…..fuck knows. Cormack trying to make him Aberdeen relevant? 

As you say, if there is no continuity in playing style, then what’s the point of a DoF? We either don’t actually have one, or we do, and he’s failing spectacularly

 

All falls at Colgates door. He is meddling fool hence a non qualified DOF & managers he’s appointed. No way he is giving full control to any manager & the likes of Mowbray would most likely command that, and rightly so.

Glass and Robson were subservient fools, equally stunned and delighted to be given the opportunity to manage the Dons.

Goodwin probably knew he was entering a lions den that he had no hope in succeeding in, but engineered a good wage, as he probably knew he’d be fucked with Colgate pulling the strings, so took the job on anyway.

Remember Colgate’s tearful plea at Easter Rd in Jan? His promise to fix it? He’s actually made it worse.

Imagine Mowbray, a football man of good experience, & respected in the game, being told his line manager is Steven Gunn?

Shambolic.

It seems like Gunn's role is not so much DoF, it's more Cormack wants someone there as a direct report, feart he'll miss something or not get his say because he's out of the country.

Ebbe gave it a good try

Managed the bottom of the league bit comfortably..

That the year that we lost to Celtic in the league cup final and Robbie Winters was in goals for the Scottish cup final?

Isn’t that Burrows’ role?

Even more reason for removing the DoF role from the structure

20 games in, and Stockport still 5 points clear at the top of the English 2nd Division, ahead of Deadpool's Hollywood Wrexham Billionaire Soccer XI. 

"Come and get me, Aberdeen!" says experienced multi-promotion and trophy winning boss, Dave Challinor.

This is not fucking rocket science. 

 

[Russell]

Quick perusal on Stockport stats only lost 2 of last 19. These 2 losses coincided with Jayden Richardson playing 117 of his 237 minutes this season.

I do now, because I checked, sir! I’m an ageing chap MT and memory not what it was. Most of the Ebbe S years have banished to the far recesses of my small brain

this was the season that we had a minus 36 goal difference after a third of the league campaign!  
 

for some reason, fans loved this guy!

Maybe if Robson came out with some decent quotes about minis stats then folk would like him too 🤔

Obviously remember the Winters final but don’t recall the Tim one.  Should I?

No. Absolutely pumped

Solberg red card, wasn't it? Did Zerouali/Belabed not have a tantrum in the dugout as well?

Why are people getting so aroused over Mowbray? Genuine question

Picking the only team he's failed at as manager really to stick the knife in.  Fanny.

What has he done that’s got you so excited about him?

Also pretty sure he just got sacked for failing as a manager. FaNnY

The only thing you need to know about the SPFL is that even someone with absolutely no experience can get a job at a top side.

Easy peasy.

Mowbray's renowned for developing young players and sides that play attacking, attractive football. I find that possibility pretty exciting.

He's just been sacked, but it wasn't for failing as a manager. Sunderland are 9th in a notoriously tough 24 team division and sit just 3 points off the playoff positions. The board gave him no money and then sacked him for a short run of bad results, while essentially still overachieving.

Sunderland fans aren't at all happy that he's gone and we'd be making a fantastic appointment if we moved for him.

He's spent the majority of his career in the English championship and spent 3+ years at Blackburn, Middlesbrough, Sunderland, WBA & Hibs - so he can't be that shite if he's holding on to these jobs for that long.

They are 3 points off the play offs and all their fans are not happy he was sacked. Uber Fanny. 

[Donbas83]

Seen him mentioned a few times. For me, Eirik Horneland. Brann manager done a good job with them this year.

With that said I still think Mowbray is a great shout. 

[Tord31]

A manager who has a track record of winning and, ideally, at more than one club.

Honours.

Win percentage above 55%.

 

A manager who has no track record of an utter disaster

Win percentage below 30%

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Neither up nor down on the Wilder boy  but his first interview about playing Liverpool first up is illuminating.  Bring it on.  Get the atmosphere going.  Right at them etc etc.  didn’t hear the word respect once.

They will of course get humped but I liked his style regardless.

He's a guy who may just find that a certain club suits him. He has went to others and just not cut it.

Do you never tire of coming on every thread and disagreeing with the majority of the other posters just for the sake of it?

[Dandys1983]

Id put a large chunk of money on the next manager not being Uk based, but at present what I was told yesterday is that its not even been spoken about removing Barry from his position, unfortunately he seems to be getting the season unless things really go south.
