vegas-voss Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 He will probably get them a few short term results and the remit is probably to guide them to at least 5th and that will be job done. Long term if he was to take the job further he will probably have them like a Kille stuffy hard to beat long ball merchants men behind the ball and as we have seen it works well in this league but it's boring as ****.

Mikey1874 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Another good little boost for the profile of Scottish football. He can bring his experience and stabilise things for what looks like a decent squad. Or get shown up for underestimating us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokyowalnut Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 It’ll have zero impact on our season. He’ll come up, top up his pension and provide some sound bites and head back down the road in the summer and say what a laugh he has had. He’s an erse.

kingantti1874 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Bizarre tbh. I mean Warnock on paper seems like a sound appt even though he’s 75 years old but it’s only till end of the season? what are they up to? Trying to avoid getting sucked into a relegation fight? Anyway. Maybe aberDNA can buy him a blanket or 2. Cold not great for people of his age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Total unknown factor. Their season is more likely to be decided on whether or not they can keep Miovski, Barron and Clarkson free of injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Pr stunt and stop gap. He'll have no care or investment in them, he'll take the cash and revel in the media " frenzy" and attention he'll get. They'll be referred to as "Neil Warnocks Aberdeen". Stop gap to the summer, Bob to come in for them once he's had his holiday in the USA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToadKiller Dog Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Big risk , yes a big character will likely give them an instant burst of confidence . He's 75 ,will soon get homesick stuck up in Aberdeen .

brawlad74 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Short term appointment but does it come with longer options which would bleed them? He'll prob get some decent results but will sheep players take to being shouted at? Ach who cares they won't worry us but defo raise SPL profile in Engerland.

Good mates Dad was No. 2 to Paul Sturrock for many years, he was the one who told me that Neil Warnock was/is an anagram for Colin . Apparently whenever Warnock was managing the away fans would sing & call him Colin throughout the match. He feckin hated it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Canada Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I think he'll improve them, get in trouble with refs and spout some great soundbites. It certainly won't be a boring few months and will bring more attention to the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmbraCraig Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Chat on the radio yesterday was they’d bring someone in strictly until the end of the season, so I guess they’ve done that. it'll make some interesting interviews until the end of the season, and they’ll be tougher to beat when we play them. I’d guess he’ll be on a healthy bonus if he can get them top 6/euro places. He’s got a good record of getting better results out of an under achieving squad, but as long as we don’t drop of a cliff like last March/April then we should still finish we’ll clear of them.

WDJ87 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) Quick appointment, big(ish) name, experienced manager. If I was a sheep it's the kind of appointment I'd be expecting.

indianajones Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 The more i think about it the more this seems like a massive gamble. He'll be seen as a safe approach when in reality he is a complete unknown in Scotland. Our game has moved on a lot from Warnock tactics. Risky.

Sub4TiddlerMurray Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 That is a car crash appointment. Reeks of desperation at Board level. The smart appointment would be the Dundee manager Tony Docherty. He is clearly switched on and has transformed a rubbish team into a likely top 6er. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stirlo Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 45 minutes ago, livi said: It’ll be interesting to hear how much he has seen of Scottish football recently but will no doubt sound like an authority on it. Probably not a great deal although he does spend quite a lot of time in Scotland (albeit presumably when he's out a job!) as he has had a house up here for many years. I think he's mentioned that Morton are his local team. It is a really strange appointment for Aberdeen though as a sort of stop-gap. I suspect Aberdeen are worried about the financial consequences of not making Europe, but whether Warnock is the right answer is questionable.
