But he was good before. Isn't that how it works? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken es Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 I hold our narssistic chairman fully responsible ,he has had way too much influence on the playing side . We the fans know we were lied to with glass reported as being the best candidate LIE. We for the most part gave it a chance, after all what do we know?. So most renewed their season tickets, dna, bought the shirts etc. It's over Mr Cormack read above line,AFC finances are about to fall off a cliff and you will have the support and finances this current team deserve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akuram Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Players will be tired from running about on that sodden pitch while St Johnstone have fresh legs. Disaster written all over it.What planet are you on, you will win no problem on Tuesday,we are just dreadful. Easy three points for you. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Let's not try and suggest that we went for the right man each time but it went wrong. I think you'd be hard pressed to find any Aberdeen supporter who thought Alex Miller would excite the fans. Even a tiny bit of research would've discovered that Steve Paterson was an alcoholic with a gambling problem and probably wasn't best suited for a job with media glare. Mark McGhee declared himself only interested in taking the Aberdeen job if he didn't get offered the Celtic job. Announcing that publicly should have discounted him, as should the fact he wanted to disappear back to Brighton after each game. Craig Brown was past retirement age. I think you'd be hard pressed to find any Aberdeen supporter who thought Stephen Glass was best qualified for the position. None of these looked "decent" on paper beforehand, apart from perhaps Brown. Edited February 12, 2022 by Bogbrush1903 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logie skid boys Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Well That was shit . Aye Just nothing there for us fans be convinced there is better days ahead under him. You feel there is lot worse is to come . Might be wrong but sure McGhee held on for wee while after that famous day at Celtic . Tuesday going be hell of struggle after that the day . He will still be in dugout nae matter fiit we shout . Will he go after Tuesday night ,possibly if it’s nae 3 points .but I’m sure Mwell will hammer another nail in next Sat . Montgomery before any one of our lads can never be justified ,still can’t believe he pursued this (or Dave did ),f**k me . As mentioned above was good see more Barron and Ramsey looked bit more like himself and now get McKenzie run games . I wouldn’t be bothered if Brown and Robson took over for rest season and hope we have plan for next manager . That’s bit that worries me .. Just fucking mess just now . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
