JamieMT Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Jocky Scott was the last to leave us for another club. Albeit not a bigger one. Scott aside, post Fergie only Porterfield, Skovdahl (both resigned) and Brown (retired) haven't been axed. 1 Link to comment

Steadied the ship as a kind of retirement contractor role. but wasn’t hired by some else. Edit. Link to comment
RabidGiraffe Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 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. 2 Link to comment

ericblack4boss Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 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.

Byrne Baby Byrne Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 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 1 Link to comment

Ramandu Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Not at all. It confirms that there's not much beyond the heady heights of managing Aberdeen. Realistically this is the biggest job in their career. 1 Link to comment
Ramandu Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Also, if things had gone only a tiny bit differently, McGhee would have gone on to manage Liverpool. Y'know. Link to comment

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.” Link to comment

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... Link to comment
