How clever does Savage look now?

Really only clarifies, as ever,  the loyalty of the support to the club rather than any vindication of Neilson. Years of mismanagement sees us in this position seeking to ' consolidate in the top league' with a coach the profile of which is more akin to a club that should have impoverished resources imo

 

Robbie has one of the best league records outside the of. 

100% 3rd place finish In Scotland, that was with a newly promoted side as well 👍. Not many managers of non of sides can say that, if any. 

 

Even Lennon. Only managed 4th with hibs 

Mcinnes, done well over a long period of time but then stagnated with finishes below Killie, Motherwell and Hibs. 

 

Robbies league record with us

1st

3rd

Left us around 2nd/3rd

1st

 

Say what you will about cup performances, but when it comes to consolidation in the league then Bob's yer man

Those moaning for someone to replace him only really have one target that has a better record - Derek McInnes.  Anyone else is a punt, which has bitten us in the ass before.  Somehow I suspect they wouldn't be desperate for DM.

I would seriously doubt you know Jim Jeffries as well as I do. 
Just to clarify, you are saying he cannot be trusted with confidential information when he is in the employ of Hearts - is that what you are accusing him of?

Not necessarily  but what I am saying is that there were no secrets at Hearts during his three spells with us. New regime want it to be the opposite.

Correct 

 

Having seen a glimpse of him on Sunday, I don't think he'd come to us. 

Too far a commute from his home planet which by the looks of him is about 4km from the sun.

So you are telling me that Jim Jeffries blabbed to all in sundry confidential information when he was in the employ of Hearts!
And not only that the new regime wanted him booted out of Tynecastle because of that!

I’ve known Jim for over 30 years and that is absolute shite!

Ironic thing about wanting DM is he's even more full of excuses that Neilson after poor defeats, and his football is mostly turgid - certainly not the expansive, attacking football we all want. He likes a big striker up top as much as Levein ever did, and wanted to sign players dismissed by many of our fans, like Sammon and Cowie. Beat us to Nail McGinn unfortunately though.

No, that’s not what I said but never mind, just make it up. I said the club was like a sieve during his periods  in charge.  Anyone on here during those times will find it hard to disagree with that. 
Oh, and by the way, I have known him for more than  30 years too!

Aye, the Aberdeen management post must come with a bonus that if you win a game you get a free 18 hour session on a sunbed that is powered by every offshore turbine in the North sea.

Stendel appointment didn't have Levein's fingerprints on it. A complete left field choice. Robbie Neilson does, so unless the team gets relegated, he'll see out his full term. Possibly extended if a new 5 year plan comes in.

 

But this is way off Savage discussion. Please stay on topic.

I'm the same mate. In all honesty I don't think he's the man but I'm still of the mindset prove me wrong.

 

The dark shadow of poor recruitment and mis management of young players is the mess we are still sorting out.

 

Recruitment wise are paying good money to guys like Damour etc...and more of his like down the years under Levein. I think in terms of savage it will be a few years before we see what his true impact has been

I've been spoiled rotten in comparison to that.  I've been present for 2 League Champion seasons, 4 Scottish Cup wins, and 3 League Cup wins.

Agreed on the near misses.  The only one that really bugged me was 1986.

In answer to the OP, he’ll no look too clever if Beni Baningime ends up at Dundee Utd or even ends up here. The no leaks policy will have failed badly with the first player he’s gone after since bragging about it in his interview.

Exactly, and it will be the same bunch of idiots.  If Robbie starts the league well you won't hear a peep until the first defeat, when they will be throwing the toys out the pram big style.
