I do however remember a certain Danny Lennon suffering the same fate at St Mirren due to fan pressure and that was also supporters thinking the grass was greener than it was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "grass is greener" put down, how tedious. It was right to replace McInnes, the mistake was replacing him with Glass. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we shouldn't be starting a CM ahead of the Celtic c**t in LM. Just play a LM there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think you’d be better or worse off now had he stayed in post? I'd have kept mccines over glass 100% About three of the only bright spots to come out of today we're Ramsay looking like he was getting back to form, MacKenzie and Barron. None of the three of them would have been near the pitch today if McInnes was still here. We'd be plodding along with more over the hill, shit players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stats don’t lie. Without looking it up he had what, something like 4 second place finishes and 3 finishing 4th ? Not exactly a disaster but he still took plenty of abuse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarleyQuinn Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 @IDoNotKnowThisOne Yep, after today I fully agree with you. I still believe in the remodelling of the club but we need experienced individuals not charlatans. Ramirez, Barron, Ramsay, Bates, McCrorie and Vicente can stay. Everyone else can leave. Looking forward to seeing Ross Duncan and Kevin Hanratty. Barron looks a great player on first viewing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two aren't the same thing. The myth here is that it would have been a scoosh to hire somebody good, but we perversely didn't bother. The history of our last, say, 10 managers proves otherwise. It's seriously hard to find somebody good. Out of those 10 McInnes was a success and you could maybe make a case for Calderwood. Most of them looked decent on paper when appointed and were welcomed by the majority of fans. But, depending on your view of Calderwood, 80-90% failed. This isn't unique to Aberdeen. A very high percentage of managerial appointments fail and fail fairly quickly. We didn't have to appoint Glass, and we were probably stupid to do it. But the probablity that whoever else we'd appointed instead would have been good is very low. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
