The fans wanted rid of McInnes and look what they get , better watch what you wish for. Not even a great manager will get them close to us before the end of the season especially with the two bigot teams next up. Control. Milne then Cormack. Ann Budge had contacts which brought in the benefactors. But I think likes of Milne and Cormack want all the control. But you are correct. And it comes to bear obviously over the new stadium debacle.

Neil & Heckinbottom - no chance, too expensive Lennon - good chance McInnes - surely he will tell them to bolt Robbie - He will be happy in the sun just now The rest is just for a laugh.

HMFC01 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Aberdeen in a a poor state. Sack manager, one day to transfer window and Duk could be sold on with no cover 😌 I would assume a quick loan in.

OTT Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) I would probably bet on Robinson taking the Aberdeen job. St Mirren, like Motherwell have a ceiling he's hit. Nothing more he can do there. At Aberdeen, he's got a chance to do more, spend more and aim higher. Edit: Plus there is a link there between the Aberdeen CEO and Robinson via Motherwell.

My son has been there for over 10 years and there are clear signs of the money tap having been turned down considerably.

Rudy T Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 4 hours ago, boag1874 said: 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. I genuinely think he’ll be in the running for it, Cormack must wake up in a cold sweat thinking about his decision to let McIness go, Neilson is about as close a replacement as you can get. It was rumoured after he left us that Cormack was a fan of Neilson and could replace Robson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
