Great call by us. A decent selling strategy and we'll be looking for more (returned debentures etc.) in any case, as pointed out previously, we'd get a proportion of the £s of any unsold tickets returned to us due to the splitting of income. Having said that ... £40??? The blazers are milking it. Harrumph!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no doubt we'll do that, which in turn means we should continue to get equal splits in these games going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Mikey Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Hearts fans will respond in droves. I, for one, will be at the head of the queue. Hopefully, we'll not only sell out, but those attending will witness a famous victory. Undoubtedly, we'll be up against it (VAR & onfield patsies etc.) but methinks that Naismith will have us well drilled as regards keepin' the heid. We need to be on the case 100% for 90 mins plus. Hat-trick for Shanks ... ... left foot, right foot, header ... ... and then a pen ... ... just to make it a perfect 4. ❤️❤️G❤️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbee647 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Truth is Aberdeen have rode there luck for years now… a couple of decent seasons under McInnes doesn’t disguise the fact they have been abysmal for over 30 years And this current bunch are far worse than our squad of 2014 teenagers with -15 point deduction and the 2020 Covid demotion season, time is running out for Aberdeen and it’s only a matter of time before they are relegated under Cormack.

Agree with a lot of that but it was more than a couple of decent seasons under McInnes, he had them 2nd 4 seasons in a row. They made a huge mistake getting rid of him. Can’t see them getting relegated though and they won’t be as bad again next season. This is their Levein / Stendel season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree that getting rid of McInnes was a mistake but on the 4 2nds in a row at least 2, arguably 3, get an asterisk beside them for me. The final one which was Rangers second season back deserved the most credit for me. Appreciate you can only beat the teams in front of you but to get a sustained period in Scottish football where Hearts, Hibs and Rangers were all stumbling and mucking about in the lower leagues/rebuilding in the top flight at the same time was almost unimaginable in the context of Scottish football history. For at least 2 of those seasons anything less than 2nd for Aberdeen would have been utter failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For at least 2 of those seasons anything less than 2nd for Aberdeen would have been utter failure. Totally agree with your opinion of their placings when typical major opposition was out of the picture, asterisk against it is a good description. But at the same time during McInnes tenure they were never struggling in the bottom half which they frequently do since he left. Last season was a fluke, they got an out of character lucky run second half while Hearts had a slump, since McInnes left they're a yoyo side and a bit of a laughing stock as they cycle through manager after manager going nowhere. The club who hounded out the man who gave them their best sustained run in years and who is now taking a provincial side to the heights, above them. On some level there has to be a feeling of wish we could get him back, if they asked if I were him I wouldn't give them the time of day. I think McInnes is a better manager than many give him credit for. When he first went to the sheep he had them playing attractive attacking football, but that couldn't last forever. When he went in he had a core of quality player, I can't remember them all but Ryan Jack is an example. Over a few years or so the quality disappeared either running down contracts like Jack or being sold. And that quality isn't replaced like for like. McInnes ended up with a bunch who just didn't have the quality to play attractive football, but he was still able to organise them in such a way they were very hard to beat and frequently narrowly nicked games grinding out points. But if he had better players he would play a different game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Todays interview sounds unconvincing. They seem to be pursuing someone, but not getting very far with compo or release. Names that are going round pretty constantly, Darren Ferguson, Uwe Rosler and Michael O'Neil. Alec Neil apparently not interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgie_Rules Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) Reality is, for clubs like ourselves, Aberdeen, Hibs, there is a disconnect between the calibre of manager that the fanbase think they can attract to what is actually realistic. The Hearts board mentioned it at our most recent AGM that a discussion was had with the hierarchy at Aberdeen about it. Fan pressure builds to remove managers thinking the grass is greener. When it comes down to it the budget of the clubs isn’t close to bringing in the type of manager the fanbase think they can attract. There are League 1 sides in England that can pay significantly more as an example. Hearts haven’t made an exciting managerial appointment since the Romanov days (you could argue the Cathro/McPhee experiment was the most exciting at the time of appointment) yet we have done well to build consistency the last few seasons under Neilson and now Naismith.

I agree with this. The reality is Scottish football, with the limitations in finance that brings, with the inherent difficulty playing against the old firm and the SFA and the media. It’s not an attractive place really. Generally speaking we have to find a manager like we have with Naismith and help them on the way up. Or we got for an older pair on hands on the way down, or people already caught up in the Scottish football marry go round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
