  1. No real surprise we've failed to strengthen this January. We are a club without a manager. Whose HoR is leaving us tomorrow after only a 6 month stint.

    Gunn is completely out of his depths and should never have been hired for his current role.

    We are contemplating (I've been told we've actually approached him) Neil Warnock for the remainder of the season.

    When McInnes left the club, we had credibility and a reputation in which to entice an experienced replacement. At the time we were the most attractive proposition outside the ugly sisters. Instead Cormack went with the appointments of Glass, Goodwin and Robson. Aberdeen are too big a club to be hiring rookie managers. I simply don't trust Cormack, Gunn or Burrows to get it right with the next manager. The incompetence on the football side of things is truly staggering. 

    The FMB is an embarrassment. Why is Willie Garner a part of that board?!

    Miovski, Duk and Barron will all very likely be away in the summer.

    As things stand, it's looking very grim right now. We badly need a manager to galvanize the club much like Steve Clarke did at Killie and McInnes when he first arrived at Aberdeen.

  2. The Daily record is reporting we've turned down a 2.5 million bid for Duk. The club recognize his value.

    Just for some perspective, Duk has contributed to 12 goals/assists this season. Second only to Miovski (whose on 19 goals/assists). Like Clarkson, Duk has suffered this season from Robson's style of play however he's still very much contributing.

    I just can't help but think that Alex Neil ticks so many boxes at the moment for us. 

    I'd be happy with Alex Neil or Mowbray unfortunately I don't think we could afford either of them nor they'd be interested in joining us.

    Probably not but I wonder if either of Per-Mathias Høgmo (Hacken manager) or Toni Korkeakunnas (Helsinki manager) would be interested?

    The worrying thing for me is we've got Shinnie for another two and a half years on a presumably good wage.

    Folk around me cheered him going off.  We can say he's expected to do too much but his legs aren't making up for his lack of technical ability. There was a shift when he went off. Dante is doing things with one touch. Shinnie was taking two to get it under control today.

    Spot on. I hold the same sentiments. I love Shinnie for everything he's done for the club however "we've got Shinnie for another two and a half years on a presumably good wage" is definitely a concern I have. Maybe we are asking too much of shinnie and/or maybe his recent downturn in performances is due to Ramadani's departure in the summer.

    I'd personally drop Shinnie to the bench and start either Polvara or Barron ahead of him. I also don't care if Barron isn't signing on as he's a good player so lets play him whilst he's here.

    We had 6 weeks to replace Ramadani in the summer. Scandalous that we didn't. I think his departure has shown how key he was to our limited success last season. He clearly had a positive influence on Shinnie and Clarkson. We desperately need to replace him this January.

    What's frustrating is that we actually have a good squad of players more than capable of finishing in the top 3. Robson needs to go.
