BaaBaaRedSheep Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Since the split last season, when Robson was appointed on a permanent basis, we have won 11 out of 39 matches. A win % of 29%, which is down there with the worst permanent managers we have ever had. I appreciate that Cormack attempts to include friendlies in his statistics. I haven't. Cormack's reputation is now 100% on the line. If he doesn't act soon, sack Robson and ultimately make a proper management appointment he too will have "lost the dressing room " with the fans and will have nowhere to hide. What another feckin' shambles! 2 Link to comment

Snelders Snottters 89 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 It's a combination of a shite mad chairman, terrible DoF and pathetic manager and actually the players as well maybe their nothing special as well. Link to comment

Footballs coming Rome Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 “Exhausting changing out another manager”. Just don’t employ trainee managers in the first place and have a succession plan for both playing & coaching staff. 1 Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Cormack would do well to listen to the latest ‘re-adjourned’ Scottish football podcast on bbc. Actually highlights a lot of the main points most would agree with https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0h85vjq Link to comment

So to watch the Aussie tennis on Eurosport, live, you need a TV licence. If you watch it on a catch up service you don't, with the exception of the iPlayer, which legally you need a licence to watch.

Most younger folk these days don't even watch live tv. They think it's a pain in the arse having to sit through adverts and not be able to skip or fast forward them. Sports fans and old folk watching freeview are about the only ones watching live tv nowadays. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Hearts fans They get over five million a year in bail outs from Cormack and they get a lot of corporate sponsorship from oil industry pals . This IS them benefactor and sponsor money . If these guys pulled out they would be living of average 10 k attendances …. The state of Aberdeen city centre offers a clue. None of them are interested in Aberdeen – the city or the club. …. They are though . We would be miles ahead of them in financial terms if Cormack and his oily fwiends were not pouring cash in Since when did Cormack start giving us £5m a year in bail outs? 🤣 Is it not Hearts that get the rich benefactor hand outs. 🤔 Link to comment

JamieMT Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Not without justification we can mump about the (ex) manager, the DoF, the CEO, the HoR, but everything tracks back to one man. There's more to football than puppets and data. Change needs to start at the top! I'm not naive enough to think Dave's going to sack himself, but if he's genuinely a fan he needs to take a step back and have a serious look at how he's running things. Accept he's too close, move on whoever needs moving on, appoint experienced people to the relevant positions and let them get on with it. Link to comment
Dandie1992 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Honestly, I've been in denial for a bit now. Through the Cormack era I've been always been positive about what's happening and imagined the bigger picture going forward, despite the setbacks, to be us in a better place than we were under Milne. "Least it's nae like the McGhee days." I trusted the prawcess. Now, I just feel like we've gone from a solid club to being a joke club. Tinpot. A laughing stock. Buck stops at the feet of this egomaniac charlatan. Stick your prawcess up your arse. Link to comment
a don in oz Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Think those of you against Cormack are deluded with no long term memory. Managers haven't worked out. It happens. How many managers have we had us playing well over the years since Fergie? The triumvirate, God in his first two seasons, McInnes for about half his time with us. That's it. The rest have been dogshit, some more diarrhoea-like than others. It. Happens. Is he giving managers financial support to try and improve the team? Absolutely. That's all you need. That and hope the lottery of a manager pick works out eventually. Saying Cormack needs to be gone? ffs... 1 1 Link to comment

He's the man with the money and these guys are only replaced when they want to be and even then only when someone else wants to step in. No question there's a lot of good about the Dave Cormack era, the commercial & community side of things are thriving. But the positives will continue to be drowned out by Sooty, Sweep & Sue appointments to key positions on the football side of the club. For the fourth season running we've sacked a manager. That smacks of incompetence and the buck very much stops at Dave's door. 1 1 Link to comment
