I wouldn't be expecting there to be any improvement on the last seven years now you'll be changing manager, as it isn't possible. Aberdeen can't do any better than what McInnes has done, the only way is down now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is on course to qualify for Europe for the 7th time in a row. Previous to that they managed four in nineteen. He also won their first trophy for quarter of a century. They may be able to get a 'progressive' coach (has to be Robinson btw) who will make them slightly better to watch, and they may even get a short-term bump. But there's no chance anyone will be able to improve on his results there. Its not possible. He has been bouncing off the glass ceiling for years. It speaks to the sense of entitlement at that club that they can sack a manager currently sitting fourth in the table. For Aberdeen third is first, and he has earned the credit to survive a few bad runs of form. Madness, and will not make anything any better, except possibly the style of football.

naegoodinthedark Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I know we've been shite for a while, but saddened to see him go. With little money for a rebuild, I have a real fear for next season. Think we can kiss the guaranteed top six finishes goodbye. It's all Scott Fucking Wrights fault. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tell you what thought, why don't me and you manage competing football clubs. I get £120 million to spend each season, and you get £15 million. Best of luck trying to get your team to finish above mine, and don't come crying to me when you get fired cause your teams fans live in a dreamland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 This is a big appointment fort Aberdeen. They need to get the right person lined up, otherwise they could end up with some utter guff. Look at County, sacked McIntyre (rightfull so) then made poor, poor management decisions and we're still rudderless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Aberdeen third is first, and he has earned the credit to survive a few bad runs of form. Madness, and will not make anything any better, except possibly the style of football.I'm sorry but this is nonsense.He has done very well for us for a long time. But since the New Year we have:Won 2 games out of 13Scored 5 goals in 13 gamesScored 1 goal in our last 9 gamesI'm afraid that is relegation form over a third of a League season. There was no sign of DM turning it around or arresting the slide form wise. That we are still 4th speaks volumes about the quality of the teams below us.I wish DM no harm at all. Some outstanding work - the League Cup was brilliant and the 2016/17 season is the best Aberdeen team I've had the pleasure of watching play football. He made going to Pittodrie a joy for 5-6 years.Desperately sad with the way it has ended but with the form stated above, it had to end as there was no signs of improvement. Thanks for the memories Derek.Over to Dave Cormack now, I worry about his judgement on this but I hope I'm proven wrong. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't we improve on that? Because that's the world mate. Its just the way it is. At every level of the game the world over the team that spends most (transfers and wages combined) finishes first. The team that spends the second most, finishes, can you guess............second! The team that spend the third most.....are you getting the idea yet? And in Aberdeen's case the difference is much more stark than in almost every league on earth. They are competing with two teams that have between six and eight times their budget. Not even 60% or 80% more, 600% or 800%. Celtic sign strikers from PSG, Aberdeen from Carlisle and Oxford. There isn't a human being on earth who could take Aberdeen higher than 3rd. It simply isn't possible. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How bad does it have to be before you think a change needs to be made? Big deal, you're fourth and absolutely guaranteed to qualify for Europe for the seventh straight year. Before McInnes you managed four in nineteen years. Teams go through sticky patches, a manager who has done an absolutely outstanding job over a long period of time has earned the credit to survive them. Except in the minds of fans of a club who are basically spoiled brats cause they had an amazing manager forty years ago, and they still don't understand things aren't like that anymore. Anyway enjoy battling for a top six place, and be careful what you wish for in future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenBud Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Hands off. Hopefully the fact he'll have a sizeable buy out under his new contract and the money you spunked to sack McInnes will push your BOD towards a free agent.

johnnydun Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 It's been coming for a long time, took Aberdeen as far as he could. Pity he couldn't capitalise on Celtic's Deila time, we all would have liked to see that. If only there was a job he could do 45 mins down the A90.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
