To get to 60 pts they'd need to win 12 of their remaining 17 games. Celtic and Rangers in their next 2, lose them and it becomes 12 wins from 15. If they did make top 6, they'd then have Celtic and Rangers again. Lose them and it's 12 wins from 13. And one game vs Hearts too! They've won 6 from 21 so far. Can't see it.

Robson had a transfer window and managed to bring in a couple of loans who made a huge difference. They don't have that now. Its go with what you got. Thing is I actually think they have a decentish squad. Robson didn't get them playing at all. He's shite. Buuuuut this summer, you feel they have another rebuild. They brought in I htikn it was 14 players or something in the summer... How many this summer. Their whole defence is pish, they only really have Miovski as an attacking threat and will he want away from this shite? They have some decent midfielders but even then, but next season... Shinnie done I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDSK Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Strange how things can go awry so quickly in Scottish football. Only nine months at the helm and dismissed in dismal circumstances yet I still think Robson should be seen as a decent Aberdeen manager over the piece. The vast vast majority of managers in Scotland end up getting the boot. In my time following Hearts I think only Levein and Neilson have been poached by other clubs. Barring Sergio, all the others have left after being sacked. Yet some have enjoyed success to varying degrees - cup wins, derby dominance, good league finishes, European football etc. So being sacked eventually doesn’t in essence mean a manager failed. Robson is a strange one because his tenure was so short. But in his time as Aberdeen manager they propelled themselves up the league and pipped us to 3rd place - not without our assistance - and ended up with the european spot, some decent results in the group and the financial boost that came with it. A cup final and some decent domestic results alongside it paint a pretty good picture. Of course this season’s league form hasn’t been good enough - it causes me absolutely no pain to say the football has been absolutely brutal viewing - and I don’t really have a view on whether the football monitoring board have made the correct decision or not. But, generally, in Scotland if you end up leaving a club in the dismal situation you found them in, but have had some decent times along the way and have given fans a few memories for life, you’ve actually been pretty successful.

They did do well in his interim period with the 7 wins on the bounce but they didn't half ride their luck through that run and were helped massively by our utter capitulation. Pretty much since he got the permanent job starting from after the split it's been shite shite & more shite, turgid football, signings that haven't improved them, respectable results in Europe (still finishing bottom) but really really poor league form. I said to mates of mine over the summer their bubble was burst, Robson wasn't all he was cracked up to be & would be sacked by the end of the year. I was out by a month but still, the signs were there from May onwards. Don't get me wrong, we've had to win ugly on several occasions this season but for us it looks like we're just now starting to move through the gears and still have a few more to go whereas with them it became clear pretty fast they were peaking early.

Mikey1874 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 3 hours ago, EIEIO said: The amusing thing for us outsiders is that the teams managed by their former coaches Mcinnes and Docherty are above them (and the vermin of course) in the League table. Can't say I hate Aberdeen , I reserve that for the Uglies and the Docksiders. Yup. When the football isn't perfect but the management team are strong high risk to change it. Among many mistakes that's Cormack's worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 1 hour ago, jamboinglasgow said: So thats 3 managers Aberdeen have had since McInnes was sacked in 2021. A real monkeys paw wish from Aberdeen fans to get rid of McInnes because his football was effective but boring. Three managers player ineffective boring football instead. Do think Robson was Aberdeen's Ole Gunnar Solskjær, the caretaker who came in to stable the ship before a new manager comes in, who overperforms meaning that the board has little choice but to give them the job in full, but in reality it was a lot down to not being the previous manager that they did well initially, plus has created a rod for their own back "you won 6 in a row, we expect similar going forward." Will be intriguing who they go for next. Will they try for Stephen Robinson or try to go outside the box. Interesting that last season a lot of people were saying Steve Agnew, assistant coach was the brains behind the team. Been found out badly.

Agreed. My point is more that he’s actually achieved a lot in his 9 months - mostly the early months. Aberdeen managers will do worse and be given longer.

Would be a sensible hire - they'd know what they're getting with him in that he's a manager with a track record in our league of winning the games he should win, finishing where he should finish, they wouldn't punch above their weight much but they'd likely stay challenging for 3rd. It's not always exciting but it would steady them (at least until he falls out with everyone and the dressing room atmosphere implodes) after a few ropey seasons.
