The club can waste as much money on a consultancy firm but you make the assumption that they will listen to what they suggest. Do not need to waste vasts sums of money on a review as Cormack will not allow his dictatorship to be questioned.

This is a ridiculous statement that shows you’ve got an agenda to criticise Cormack. Firstly , in most businesses the owner (and Cormack is the owner through share holding and footing the bill} decides what is what: it’s plain stupid to suggest it should be any other way. He has every right to pull the strings .Secondly, the fact he has a significant Board with key executives like Burroughs, means he is spending good money on having these executives to help deliver success . The reason he does that is he’s a successful businessman and manager himself and he wants the very best for the club . So he has recruited a team of people to help deliver the success he craves. You need to give yourself a slap to wake yourself up and realise the club is better run than it’s ever been. Translating all of that onto football team performances is a difficult task. Look at man United or Chelsea they’ve spent billions and haven’t cracked it for a long time. Cormack is a brilliant chairman and we’re lucky to have him.

Hi Dave. 
 

In all seriousness, you are close to the truth. Cormack really wants us to be successful. 
But he is narcissistic by nature and revels in complete control. Hopefully he has seen this and the appointment of Warnock will see a proper review of the football club by someone who knows what he is doing.

Well said Dave. Not sure Gunn or the FMB will help the club deliver success on the field. Fail to prepare, prepare to fail is how l see the present ongoings at Pittodrie.

Mixed feelings about this. I know it's short term, but if he happens to win the Scottish cup or get us into Europe (Europe more likely, unless we get favourable draw), then it should stay as only short term.

I'm hoping he allows our good footballers to actually play football again. 442. Clarkson given more freedom. Barron anchoring the midfield. Polvara given more time. Forget about the old guys. Duk given some licence to be Duk. Can't do much about the defence unless buys outside the market. We do have some decent players, no doubt.

He will be a breath of fresh air, if nothing else... and that's something that's desperately required.

Good luck, mate.

An interesting take on Cormack's stewardship.

The fact is, that the only thing that counts in football....and therefore the only thing a Chairman or manager can really be judged on....are results. 

In that sense, Cormack is not a brilliant chairman, he's a failure***

I don't really care about how much he loves the club, or how many American ideas he brings into the set-up, or whatever. I, like all of us, want better results. 

 

***This is obviously a moving target. That's the nature of football. Cormack could go from failure to brilliant chairman by the end of May. But at this moment in time, his tenure as Chairman has been a disaster, in the areas where it really counts.

Guaranteed the powers that be will do their best to dish out a ridiculous ban and send him to the stand as early as possible for mouthing at a fourth official or something .

At least he’ll get a taste of what it’s like up here, and hopefully once he heads back south, gets ripped into the SFA and tells everyone how corrupt it really fcukin is. 

 

[ericblack4boss]

Warnock despite having the reputation if being a dinosaur does give his skilful players  licence Adel Tarabbt at QPR was allowed free reign as long as he won games for the club

[HaarDon]

Pretty excited for this appointment.

He takes no shit and is hard af on his defences.

I'm hoping he plays two strikers (1 being Mio obviously) and gets the best out of Sokler and Gueye.

Morning Dave. Make a better appointment than your first three, getting tired of us being pish.

[Theyorkshirered]

Proper buzzing with this, seeing him at Huddersfield last season and my dad seeing him back in 1994 the bloke is a genius, him and Ronnie jepson 2 fantastic blokes, you’ll see them a lot around aberdeen at a cafe or a pub as jepson likes a couple of pints🤣

 

He will want to win every game and play for the badge.

 

Miovski is an ideal Warnock striker plus wouldn’t surprise me if we see more of Morris as well plus Besuijen would be perfect for warnock 

[NorfolkDandy]

Okay, very much short term, however I'm guessing our highest weekly wage paid to a manager by some distance?

*That's not a 'value for money' pitch / criticism

Looking forward to seeing the photo later this morning from Cormack park.   Dons scarf raised high.

they will view it like a badge of honour

Good morning Dave.

Whilst your financial input is superb and very much appreciated you are most definitely not a brilliant chairman. 

You make too many mistakes and the current overall management of the club is poor. 

We can only hope that the currently reported review + Warnock's interim management period will end with a much stronger arrangement going forwards otherwise you ain't ever going to cut it as our chairman. 

🤞you know what you're doing this time.

You seem like a decent lad in your posts. 

But doubling down on praising Cormack's stewardship at a time when he's having to plant media stories that we have an external consultancy company to review our business model because it's failing, lots of key staff are leaving and we've had to send an sos out to a 75 year old pensioner to save our season seems to be a strange move.

There are many out there who have said 'not impressed with Warnock'.

Cunts suggestions 9 times out of 10 is Neil Lennon.

Will the consultants look at the performance and decisions of the chairman as well?
