Aberdeen's Next Permanent Manager

[Derry Alli]

I'd be amazed if Steve Clarke took on the Aberdeen job. He's got a cushy number right now.

It’s obviously not going to be Steve clarke.

Barry Robson in charge until after the Scotland qualifiers, then Steve Clarke installed, is the latest rumour.

We've had a manager that left to become Scotland boss in Ally McLeod

We've had a manager that did both Scotland and Aberdeen roles at the same time in Alex Ferguson.

We've had a manager that was a former Scotland manger in Craig Brown.

But, alas, Steve Clarke will not become the first Aberdeen manager to leave the Scotland job for us.

So, if that really is the rumour, then I wouldn't waste too much time giving it much thought.

More chance of it being Vince Clarke.

 

[AngusTheBull]

There’s absolutely no chance it’s going to be Steve Clarke.

 

Genuinely no clue who it will be though.

I think Robson & Agnew will get the rest of the season. 
Rightly or wrongly.

When you see what he achieved with Killies budget,  with Aberdeens budget he could maybe go beyond that. 

 

Maybe the challenge of taking on the old firm could appeal to him.

Taking on the what?…

Steve Clarke would be magnificent. The way he went about the killie job was very impressive. His attitude to the big 2 clubs was tremendous, cut their allocation and show some balls. 
De Bruyne would also be magnificent in midfield if we are playing this fantasy game. Ivan Toney upfront and Chiellini at the back for 1 last season and the league is done.

Just like 55, they actually act like they believe it. Santa told them it’s true I think

What is going beyond that? A higher points total or maybe a cup? But it isn’t finishing 1st or 2nd.

It’s like the cnuts think if they say it often enough, it’ll be true.

I don’t think there is any chance of Clarke walking away from Scotland to take the Aberdeen job. If he was sacked and an opportunity came up then maybe but he only took our job because his own stock was pretty low at that stage and because there was a personal connection.

Even though it wouldn’t benefit my club I have been secretly harbouring hopes that SSC might end up at Aberdeen or Hearts one day as, unlike a couple of others, I think he could win the league if given 5 seasons with either of those clubs (assuming some sort of financial backing).

Would love Steve Clarke, but it’s not going to happen. 
Feel the new man needs to get in relatively soon though , ideally this month. 

 

Aside from the fact it's not going to be be Steve Clarke, I'm not sure I want another manager who will  be commuting up and down the road every second week to see close family.  Aren't Clarke's family based down near Birmingham?
