Johnnyred1 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I think him remaining with Elfsburg until June has massively backfired with their current form. As some have said, he should have been here now. Assessing the squad is paramount to us getting ahead of recruitment drive. Time will tell if this has an impact going forward. 1 Link to comment
GeorgeStreetReds Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Elfsborg playing tonight at 6pm. Still not entirely clear to me why Thelin remains as their manager. Link to comment

It would be VERY funny if they lost again, especially with us paying a fortune in compo for a manager who is on a sack worthy run. 1 Link to comment

Maybe for Elfsborg but who cares about that. People are reading too much in to it. Do you not think he's already assessing and speaking to the club regularly? Link to comment

That is definitely ‘sack worthy’ 🤔 I don’t expect us to be challenging for league & that win rate is still not good enough but it most likely would be for our FMB after the shitshow they’ve made of things since they became a thing Link to comment

davierobb Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 As an Aberdeen fan I want Thelin over to watch our next four games and assess our squad now rather than in league cup next season. If I was an Efsborg fan and we are not winning games again I would want the new manager in. It was described as loyalty to Efsborg that he would stay until June but if its to the detriment of both clubs surely the start date can be re set . 1 Link to comment

Although that same points total would only get us 5th this season. Link to comment

I could imagine (as I was still developing in my Mother's womb at the time) that some Dandies were saying the exact same about Alex Ferguson when he was appointed as AFC first team manager in the summer of 1978.

Pointless to analyse their current form though given his current position and pending exit is likely to have a big influence on recent results. Link to comment

Willo flood Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Similar to Klopp at Liverpool, the performance levels in the players are bound to drop after they find out the manager will be leaving in a few months time. The sooner he finds himself in the north east of Scotland the better for all parties. 1 Link to comment

Who cares at this point? Should we have settled for Lennon or someone like that just because they can come in straight away. We have to wait until the summer for the person they deemed the right man. Suck it up. 1 Link to comment

McginnAgain Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Not sure how well this style would work against the cloggers of the league here. 1 Link to comment
Jazzer08 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 6 minutes ago, McginnAgain said: Not sure how well this style would work against the cloggers of the league here. I was thinking the same thing. It will certainly favour us against the gruesome twosome, since it's likely they will have the lions share of possession in games, but I'm unsure how that works when we are expected to dominate most other teams in the league, especially at Pittodrie. Hopefully he has a plan B. Link to comment
