FarmerTweedy Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I think we're about at the stage where we can crack out the old joke about manager of the month usually being an award that’s handed out, but at Aberdeen it's a job title! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that on the face of it they're a much bigger club than Kilmarnock, but he seems very popular at Killie, they seem a fairly stable, well-run club, while Aberdeen seem to generally be a shambles of a club, with an arsehole of a chairman, and fans who don't like him. I think he might well just prefer to stay where he is and see how far he can take Killie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that he would be employable after working at Killie a return to the sheep shed would be his end as a manager. Any way he is not going back there because the fans have already told him his football is shite and he can do one!

Think its likely to be either him or Stephen Robinson - given the link with the Alan Burrows having worked with him at Motherwell. I'm not sure if McInnes would take the Dons job either. Obviously the way things ended wasn't great, and I suspect he's enjoying a lot of power and trust at Killie. Could just be pretty happy right now.

My Aberdeen mate doesn't want McInnes because he plays hoofball, doesn't want Bob because he's boring, doesn't want Lennon or O'Neil as they're " Tim *****" and doesn't want Neil as he's a hun cumt. He liked Glass tho.... Unbelievable how some fans view football. McInnes or Bob instantly make them a top 4 side, but nope. **** knows what they want. They deserve to be shite and go down.

Cameronstheman Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 The Aberdeen job just isn't the job it was in the past, i mean WTF thought Warnock was the answer Id put money NW was demanding one last shot in charge or he would kick up ****, It was win win win for him Re of the outcome I hope they opt for that rat Lennon now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamboinglasgow Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 The Warnock appointment has been bizarre from start to finish. Getting a manager who is semi-retired, no experience of Scottish football but is a name in to manage till the end of the season. I would imagine he will be getting a decent amount to come up here. Then he walks off having not a won a league game, with mixed messages over whether they are close to a manager or not. I do think it smacks of a owner (Cormack) who sacks Robson but does not quite know what he wants to do next. So he quickly hires a big name to take charge till the end of the season to placate the fans. But has there been any indication from Aberdeen what kind of manager they are wanting to recruit? We gave an idea initially, though we ended up with Naismith which was different from what we initially said, there was reasons people could see. It feels like Aberdeen are just being vague.

My thoughts as well, he probably has a much bigger say in things at Killie than he did latterly at Aberdeen and doesn't have a walloper of a Chairman who thinks he knows best.

Steve Tosh on Twitter suggesting it’s a British manager currently employed - doesn’t narrow things down much but with the Burrows connection, might well be Robinson. I hope so as that has Goodwin MkII written all over it. Gone by Christmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizarre is exactly the word that springs to mind. Given their situation of seriously needing to pick up points to make the top 6 (and now potentially to avoid a relegation play-off) it would surely have made more sense to go for someone with plenty experience of this league. Add to that the fact that they waited until the transfer window had shut to make the change of manager, so whoever they appointed couldn't bring in even a couple of new players. You also wonder, if the club and Warnock had agreed to part ways in the middle of last week, why wait until after today's game? The board just come across as clueless and making it up as they go along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of me thinks the bit in bold was probably deliberate as they were sure they wouldn't achieve anything of note this season but also thought they wouldn't be in any danger so wanted to avoid a new (or interim) manager looking to spend significant cash in January, but then the flipside of that is that Warnock surely wouldn't have been cheap! In reality, I think they simply have a chairman and board who are utterly clueless, and incapable of learning from their myriad mistakes!

It's possible it was deliberate - although that assumes there is some method to their madness, which seems doubtful! Perhaps they should set up a 'football monitoring board monitoring board' as the monitoring board itself doesn't seem to be particularly effective!

Absolutely this, Cormack seems like the biggest narcissist in Scottish football, though Brenda runs him pretty close. A narcissist can never learn from their mistakes, because they just never make any. It's always someone else that's to blame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would explain the tears when he bulleted Goodwin - the pain of a self-centred narcissist having to admit he got it wrong. Probably hired Warnock to distract the punters away from his bad decisions, knowing it was a stunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably hired Warnock to distract the punters away from his bad decisions, knowing it was a stunt. I agree, he wasn't feeling sorry for Goodwin, he was feeling sorry for himself. Also, narcissists can't handle criticism. Look at the way Cormack reacts whenever criticism is levelled at him or the Board. I remember that shit show of an appearance he made on Sportsound when his buddy Stephen Glass was manager and overseeing a dire run of results. He was very aggressive towards those questioning the appointment, another narcissistic trait. He kept banging on about how the data showed they were doing much better than their actual results, that Glass was doing a good job and eventually the results would start to align with the data. They didn't and shortly afterwards he sacked Glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomethingAboutObua Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 The main rumour is its someone based in central Scotland with a team/club that they need their release negotiated Main names on social media that first came up were Robinson, obviously, McInnes and Clarke. My guess is a lot of them up there didn't realise Michael O'Neil lives in Scotland/Edinburgh. Looks like its probably going to be O'Neil or Robinson, and someone on their forum has said its O'Neil this week so we'll see. Wouldn't be too worried by him tbh, but I think he'll steer them well clear of 11th unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo dans les Pyrenees Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Apparently, Smithers told Cormack that the third biggest club title is given to those with the most managers, Vlad put us well ahead in that game, so Cormack is getting through them like breakfasts.
