Aberdeen's Next Permanent Manager

[Thenorthernlight]

Not that this means too much but Wilder is now 1/2 on with Bet Victor.

I can’t make up my mind if he’d be a good appointment or not. 
You’d think someone who progressed up the ranks having done well in the lower leagues of England, , to the point of taking a Championship standard team to finish 9th in the EPL, would be a great appointment for us.

But I still have nagging doubts. 
And I can’t put my finger on why.

I'm on board with Aberdeen appointing Wilder. Not quite a box office choice but a well known name with a decent managerial record and a far superior option to the alternatives on the Scottish merry-go-round.

Your mob are a Tim retirement home. 

The irony  even your caretaker manager came up after his Celtic career.  

Scott Brown, Willo Flood,Robson,McGinn, Hayes to name a few.  Sure there's plenty more also.

Niall McGinn came to us for one last payday at the ripe old age of 24.

Wilder

[Kempes]

Wilder couldn’t resist working with Porteous

[Hoose Rice]

[betting competition]

Its all about the timing

 

[Kempes]

What about Bilic. Maybe he could bring Porto to, finally, sort out the defence.

[DukDukGoose]

It's Watford. We'll probably get him in two weeks.

I’m not sure he was ever a legitimate candidate tbh.

I always thought his interest was lukewarm, knowing the mad world of the English Championship would turn up a job sooner or later.

It’s a pretty depressing list of leftovers now though.

If he actually had been a serious contender then you’d imagine anything would have happened a few weeks ago when he was first rumoured to have turned us down. Not sure why it all resurfaced.

I still don’t think there’s a rush, I’d be happy with Robson until the end of the season.

Mad that Goodwin will be out of his next job before you appoint his successor.

Appointing someone at the end of the season (which thankfully Burrows has all but ruled out) just means we’re behind on our summer recruitment and the new man doesn’t get the chance to run the rule over his players.

I’m pretty amazed how few solid-ish rumours have come out given it’s been more than a month.

I suspect we thought we were getting Wilder?

I'm in no hurry to end this Robson/Agnew thing, and would certainly like to see how they do in the pre-split matches.

The only name from those banded about that would change my view on that would be Steve Clarke.
