Widge Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Callum Davidson seems like a total imbecile to me. You're right though, I'd love this to happen, really love it. So was Steve Lomas, didn't stop us from our highest ever finish. Your desperation for us to fall to Dundee's level is hilarious. Imagine having to dream of us losing our manager to hold any semblance of catching us. Dundee should be ahead of us every season based on their budget. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an Aberdeen thread bro and I don't think Steve Lomas is in the running for the managers job at Pittodrie. You keep going with your Dundee obsession if that's what floats your boat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifespud Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I think you'll find it was Tree House Tam that introduced Callum Davidson. A swing and a miss champ. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellAnderson Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I'd be fine with Tommy Wright. He's not an exciting candidate, but he'd be a safe pair of hands. Would be interested to see how he did with a larger budget, relative to the league he's in. Alex Neil is slightly more exciting, but at the same time he's more of a risk. Plus there's no guarantee he wants to come back north so soon after an up and down time in England. I'm still holding on for McInnes staying for at least another 6 months though..? Am I crazy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, you're alright thanks, Dumbarton away in the league does nothing for me, no offence Sons fans. And the thought of dealing with the Falkirk fans and virginton, nah, you can keep the progress map. Rumours being flying around ever since the end of Saturday's game and they're beginning to get tedious now. Until anything happens, no point in speculating.

McInnes undoubtedly has done well but it's coincided with Rangers/Hibs/Hearts/Arabcûnts being shite in the main. You could say the same about TW but he has consistently led his team to league positions well above what they're budget should place them, and won a cup. Both of these things are what an Aberdeen manager needs to achieve. My eyes bleed every time I watch us play St Johnstone. It's effective at times as they're definitely a sticky opponent for any of the bigger clubs. However, one thing McInnes has improved season by season is how to break down the majority of sides that sit in with everyone behind the ball, especially at Pittodrie. I'd fear Wright would take us back to Craig Brown days in this respect - organised, but loads of dire matches. As for the Scottish Cup win and our need to achieve that. I'd agree, but this season's team would likely have won it in any of the recent seasons when someone else kindly knocked out Celtic - including us in the season St Johnstone won it. McInnes' report card in leagues, cups, Europe, signings, handling the media and in showing general improvements is all good.........it's worrying that in Scottish football, that will inevitably lead to the whole thing being picked apart by either the weegie uglies or rich English clubs. Really hoping we keep our manager, but the one guy I think could sustain us to an extent would be Alex Neil. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Listening to the interview Neil gave on Sportsound last month it'd be a pretty incredible u-turn on his part if he were to take another job in Scotland any time soon. I could see the Aberdeen job being tempting to a point but given the rate that Championship sides seem to rattle through managers at the moment I'd have though he'd hold out and see which jobs come up there.What's the script with the delay on the stadium/training complex? IIRC one of Neil's key points about not being that fussed about taking another job in Scotland was the lack of facilities compared with teams in England. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was actually discussing Neil's comments on waiting for another English job with the ex-Dons player that works with me, and his response was something along the lines of "...and I'd like a blowjob from Megan Fox" (...he then informed me he thought Alan Archibald would be a shoe-in) Edited May 31, 2017 by tarapoa 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Put a bet on Giggs when he was 16/1. This would be a double win!However, odds on managers are generally shite, takes virtually nothing to shift the market. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmothecat Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 What are the odds on McInnes at the moment? Might stick a wedge on now, just to soften the blow if he does go. Best is 5/1 at Betfair I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
