Quite the take to suggest all that went wrong for Ross at Hibs was covid  

Bottled several big games, shite football and dropping down the league this season. I’d be shocked if Aberdeen went for him. Going by the reaction on Twitter Aberdeen fans aren’t wanting him anywhere near it.

Sacking mcinnes and ending up with jack Ross a year later would be new levels of stupidity.

Shocking isn’t it, clubs paying way over the odds for players past their prime.

From today’s BBC Gossip Column.

Former Hibernian, St Mirren and Sunderland boss Jack Ross is keen on the Aberdeen manager's job following the sacking of Stephen Glass.(Express)

I’ll bet he bloody is.

Having lived through all of the 80s, 90s, 00s and 10s I would agree his performance was right up there with some of the worst individual performances I've seen but I will cut the lad some slack as it must be hard going from Celtic to the complete shambles we currently are

It's like Jerel Ifil never happened

Newspapers must love this stuff. Even if he said no such thing, JR couldnt say "I am not interested" as it would put him out the running for other decent roles.

A bit like most of the shite they write in transfer windows imo.

The DR was also quoting that Goodwin was interested in the job, when you know they have just assumed this because its a bigger club.

[Frank Grimes]

Of course Goodwin would be interested 

And I’m not against it

But he’d want to take Langfield with him probably and I don’t think I’ve got the stomach for the negativity and bile that would draw from some our our more unhinged fans

Langfield is a knob. I find him generally inoffensive, though. 
 

I can't imagine a goalkeeper coach would cause that much ire...or be the dealbreaker for a job...surely...

Aberdeen twitter would be a bin fire after the first time our keeper made a mistake if Langfield was GK coach 

[TheDon99]

To be fair, about 50% of the players Jack Ross tried to sign at Hibs ended up at Aberdeen so that could make it a lot easier on him...

Worth taking in to consideration, but Willie Miller has said that he was led to believe the coaching from Glass was very good. Quite a few players left under McInnes and spoke of how more intensive (better) the coaching was at their new team.

Jack Ross is a serial loser and the only thing he's won of note is the Scottish Championship. 
 

Doesn't impress me. 
 

St Mirren fans seem to have ideas above their station and it'll be funny as f**k if Goodwin rocks up here. 

It wouldn't bother me tbh. If/when he leaves we'll be compensated, we're currently above you in the league, still in the cup.

Its also just over a month since Goodwin was probably about 2 defeats away from getting the bullet. 

Like every manager, he is replaceable and we could easily end up with someone more tactically astute( not Glass).

Think it’s pretty clear that glass is a good coach, and in a parallel universe you’d be happy to see him come in as part of a team. 

The challenge is to build a structure that maintains the quality of training and ideas but also solves the several basic failings we were displaying week on week.

Absolutely. That point was more towards the folk who can't understand why we'd get rid of McInnes etc.

I said it the other day, but I genuinely think he'll go on to be a decent manager. Unfortunately he learned his mistakes here. Sometimes you need to go out and dig out a 1-0 win, playing shite rather than trying to play following your philosophy for 90 minutes.

We're really needing an experienced version of Glass tbh. Someone who wants to play good football and nurture youth, but also happy to grind out a shite 1-0 win away from home. 

If Dave really has plans to build the club then you're probably looking at a model where you are hiring a manager every two-three years, after a period of relative success. Let the other guy move on when a bigger club/opportunity arises and appoint a manager from the list of guys you've already earmarked. Otherwise it'll end up going stale.

The thought of Langfield trying to tell Joe Lewis how to be a better goalkeeper is quite amusing.

..anyway, as Aberdonians are known as tight b*****ds, it's obvious Cormack will go for someone where he doesn't need to pay compensation. The St Johnstone game may come a bit too quick for a Ross appointment but if he's not installed by the end of the week, then I'll be surprised.

I hope Cormack isn't daft enough to go for Lennon. I'd really miss going to Pittodrie.

I’m less convinced he’ll be a good manager. I think he lacked some media skills and man management. He blamed the players for most of the failings publicly and he absolutely hung ojo out to dry at tannadice. 

Not to say he can’t learn but think it’s more than just tactical naivety. 

Grinding out wins is part of it but I think in too many games the opposition just did the basic stuff better than us. 

I said pretty early on the defence would be what kills us this season and I think it’s proven out. I could have just about coped with us being a blunt attacking force as we learned the new style if we didn’t concede horrendous, simple, basic goals just about every week. 5 clean sheets in 40 or whatever it was is a one way route to getting sacked.

There seems to be a wee pattern emerging among some clubs of an owner making what could be construed as a bit of a vanity appointment (Maloney, Glass, Cathro) based on those individuals coaching abilities.

While most of the clubs have some DoF or whatever, the owners seem to have had a big say in each of these and I reckon that Ron G, Dave C and Anne Budge might not be the most experienced when it comes to making managerial appointments.

It is as much of a worry for us right now as it was for you guys with SG.

I would suggest that all 3 of those guys would have been better served - as you say - as part of a team with a more mature head as "manager".

There are loads of managers that are (allegedly) shite training ground coaches..............but if they get a good coaching team everyone assumes they are fantastic at all parts of the game.
