PauloPerth Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 What a bonkers thing to come out with. I wouldn’t be surprised if the ‘football monitoring board’ had no prior knowledge of the statement content. Maybe they all agreed they couldn’t afford to pay him off/ no replacements they wanted were available/ genuinely want to give him more time to turn it around, and Dave says “ok lads leave it to me, I’ll put out a statement” It definitely reeks of someone who doesn’t really know what he’s doing trying to placate the fans by pointing at the manager and announcing “he’s been shite” without realising he’s made matters worse for the manager and the support. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJF Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 33 minutes ago, Insert Amusing Pseudonym said: Tbf about 99.9999 % of Hearts fans wanted Neilson gone after Brora, myself included and he's now turned that round almost completely. But aye, hard road back and not helped bythat mental statement Yeah that’s fair. He seems to be the exception to the rule which doesn’t happen often. Although I’d imagine when teams go through a catastrophic result or period, even if the manager does turn it round, whenever the next lean period arrives I suspect they’ll have less credit in the bank or patience from the fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubo_blaha Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Cormack considers losing against Hibs to be more embarrassing than losing against Darvel. Can’t argue with that tbf. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukDukGoose Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 They had the choice of backing him or sacking him. Went for public humiliation instead. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 That's an incredible statement I genuinely can't believe he's survived the results since the World Cup break. They're quite something. Abject 0-1 surrender to Celtic Hilarious bed-shitting against Rangers. 2-1 up (at which point I stuck a fiver on Rangers), to shite themselves and lose 3-2 An absolute drubbing against St Mirren Losing to fucking Kilmarnock A fairly uninspiring home win vs Saints Losing in marginally less hilariously shit fashion to Rangers An absolute walloping at Hearts Knocked out of the cup by a club who couldn't even get into the Lowland League last season Holy actual f**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't need to exaggerate on several of those. The true statements were bad enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Beautifully set up by the Aberdeen board for Saints to empty Goody next midweek. Don't dare think about going there and winning Hibs, this is karma in the making. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) "We at what I'll now refer to as the FMB recognise that to dismiss Goodwin would be a lot of hassle, pretty expensive and would amount to an admission that we'd yet again made an arse of the appointment in the first place. We've therefore decided to keep him. However dear fans, lest you turn on us, we also think he's a useless dick, and have told him that to his face. Thank you."

While there should be an element of schadenfreude at the dugs dinner that Aberdeen are making of this for us, Hibs are in "hold my beer" territory with Lee Johnson - so I imagine that Goodwin will be around for your amusement next week........................... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers monkey, that actually made me laugh this morning. Even if it’s because it’s scarily accurate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
