Calderwood had his "shelf life" comments and was rumoured to interest other clubs during his tenure but nothing concrete emerged. 

McInnes is the only one I can remember apparently having genuine interest/offers from other clubs (Sunderland and Sevco) but ne turned them down because those moves  were not concomitant with his ambitions.

 

Aye I mind Mcinnes to dead gers rumours. Was probably our last manager anyone ever had eyes on!

Aye Jocky Scott was wanted by Dunfermline.

And ironically Scott has said he shouldn't have gone  he should have stayed with us,

Porterfield according to the Brian Cooney book was supposed to stay and work under Alex Smith who was coming in a director of football role originally, but in the end Porterfield left, officially on his own accord.

Quite a depressing thread really. Shows how poor our choices of manager have been for the last 30 odd years. 
 

Mcinnes the only one to even be approached. Think most other clubs have had a manager poached 

Aye this was the reason I posted it. We haven’t had much of an infrastructure in place to set managers up for success.

Aye, allegedly on first name terms with moat of the ladies of the night around the harbour area, and he was  encouraged to move on before that decision was made for him. Allegedly.

Also, if things had gone only a tiny bit differently, McGhee would have gone on to manage Liverpool. Y'know.

He would been off to Celtic in a shot. If he wasn’t so catastrophicly  pish at managing.

Still one of the best comments ever:

“Former Aberdeen manager Mark McGhee has claimed the Dons' record 9-0 defeat to Celtic could have been as many as fifteen if it wasn't for him. McGhee was in the away dugout in November 2010 as Neil Lennon's Hoops ran riot at Parkhead to condemn the Dons to their worst-ever loss, writes Football Scotland.”

That was Gordon Bennett wasn't it?

 

Which, coincidentally is what I said when I heard the news.

I'm pretty sure Porterfield was into that too.. probably others, harbour hookers must have been quite convenient after a day's work at a Pittodrie. I presume nobody else got caught at it. 

The move out to Cormack Park must have reduced that likelihood nowaday, doubt there are many hookers hanging around the Arnhall Business Park or Westhill shopping centre. It's all online nowadays, so I've heard anyway...

The oaf was spouting his usual shite, there were no fucking clubs after him , it was all just to get a new improved deal

I wouldn't be so sure , my wife witnessed a guy fingering a quine in Costco one day, and my pal was rubbed against by another female customer in Costco too.
