We should have more of these meltdowns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly, Cormack is batshit mental if he actually believes the things that he's coming out with. Secondly, and more importantly, it's obvious that he's taking criticism of our woeful record and of Glass, as personal criticism. As we feared, he's up to his neck in this because appointing an inexperienced mate was his his own, blundering choice. That means....and it's fairly obvious....he won't be able to approach this rationally. He'll dig his heels in as criticism grows and he'll treat each attack from media and fans as an attack on him. We're stuck with Glass for the long term, because Cormack has no intention of admitting he's failed. f**k me. McCormack is definitely plugged in,doubling down on the safety Glass,it reminds me of wee Fergus and the pish he had to deal with. The 5 year plan isn't going to plan,asking for patience and to look at the bigger picture when Aberdeen are about 20 years behind the rest of the clubs in the league. The infrastructure of the club is going to affect the team on the park and lets face it, it should've been done years ago. Pointing the finger and making Pittodrie a Tesco wasn't going to be popular,results on the park become less important. He will go through 2 or 3 managers before the infrastructure is complete but Aberdeen as a club will be in a better place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mentioned “incoherent pish”, and then go on to give a good example of incoherent pish. Clever. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pull My Strings Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I'd be very worried by that interview if I was an Aberdeen fan. Cormack showing no interest in engaging constructively in the conversation but instead simply reeling off a load of bullet points to justify his own decisions. Rambling and plaintive is never a good look. If you believe Cormack's interpretation of the data, it would appear that Aberdeen have just been incredibly unlucky. Dominating possession and shots on target and then conceding to clinical opponents. That sort of mindset makes it very difficult to justify any sort of change because why would you change when simply being patient will see the results turn in due course as luck evens itself out. He might be right but I have my doubts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 An unequivocal "backing of the board"? Can't be long now. What wiggle room is left? A claim that the media are against him, that his ideas are 'too new' and people "don't get it"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t think he could top the absolute drivel interview with ‘Alex Ferguson told me to hire someone who will win in glasgow’ rubbish, but he did. . As I said before, we’re all entitled to our opinion, but I simply don’t agree with your take on last night’s interview. For more than a few weeks now, Cormack has been getting stick for saying nothing during this concerning run. Yesterday he gets an invite from the BBC to come on for a live interview on Sportsound, and accepts knowing full well that opinion would be divided on what he was going to say. If he had turned down the invitation Kenny McIntyre would have said at the start of the programme that they are going to discuss the situation at Aberdeen, that they had invited Cormack onto the show, and that he had declined. The stick that he would have received for that would have been huge. Basically he couldn’t win whatever, but decided to put his head above the parapet and take the kind of flak that you are giving him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t have given him stick for turning down Kenny macintyre, my heart sank when the club were broadcasting the fact he would be on. He doesn’t give any substance, just a lot of noise. The only actual information we received last night was that glass won’t be sacked. The rest was just self serving pish. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
