shaun.lawson Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Where is he anyway? Sorry, been busy these past few days! But I'm back now. Calderwood? Oh jings. The reason this could happen is because we're so skint it's unbelievable. The very strong rumour is that Glenn Roeder had a clause in his contract stating he could be paid off with only 50% compensation if we were in the bottom six at the time of his dismissal: a very wise move if true, and one likely to be emulated by other clubs I'd have thought in these troubled times. As I've written before, I think Tangoman's record is decent and underrated - but he would absolutely not be my choice. That Bryan Gunn has connections in the Aberdeen area, and that Norwich would absolutely be as good as Tango could ever hope to get worries me though. Hand on heart, I don't think it'll be him - but the Norwich board's recent record with these things is appalling, so I'm not prepared to rule it out. On the bright side, the two favourites with the betting firms are Paul Ince and Aidy Boothroyd. There's been a lot of money on Ince over the last 24 hours. I'd be wary of him, because we'd clearly be a stepping stone, and I imagine he'd be gone within a year or 18 months - but what he did with Macclesfield and MK Dons was exceptional, and he deserves the chance to prove himself again with a Championship club. Boothroyd remains my choice, but there's talk of things having broken down over lack of money... All the candidates are flawed in some way or other - but if it's Calderwood, I will not be happy!

shaun.lawson Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 :4_1_72::4_1_72: I can't wait for Bernie Winters to sign for the canaries. Oh ma sides. Calderwood joined Aberdeen in Summer 2004. Since then, this is how Hearts and Aberdeen's league records compare: Heart of Midlothian P173 W74 D43 L56 Pts 265 Aberdeen P173 W75 D41 L57 Pts 266 Five of our fixtures were in last season's bottom six too, unlike them - and Calderwood also reached the UEFA Cup last 32, which we haven't done in living memory. Yet you extoll Romanov's praises on here, and laugh at Calderwood - despite his team outperforming ours on, for most of the time, half our budget! Once again they're above us this season, and only two points behind a Dundee United side lauded to the skies. Truth is, they've stolen our crown as the team to beat if you want to finish 3rd - and that's all down to Tangoman. Decent and underrated, as I said. Not that I want him at Norwich, mind you. Yesterday, our Chief Executive said we were looking for someone with managerial achievements at Championship level, and connections to the club: meaning Boothroyd, not Calderwood.

Yet Levein and Csaba are congratulated, and Calderwood's laughed at - why? How many non-OF clubs who've not spent miles over their budget have won anything at all since 1998? Two.

How can you say their one point higher haul is all down to Calderwood? I think you're being highly selective Shaun, if you don't factor in the number of managers in the period against the higher budget. It would be interesting to have an idea of the number of players used by both clubs over the same period.

P8 W1, D3 L4, the fact they progressed is down to sheer luck and luck alone. Our draw in 1989 was ridiculously soft too. Austria Vienna are the only half decent side we got past. Aberdeen did what all other non-OF sides have failed to do under the present format, for which they deserve credit. Or to put it another way, I'll happily give the Hearts team of 1988/9 all the credit in the world if the same is afforded to last season's Aberdeen side. That we don't is purely because we're Hearts fans, frankly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you put up Hearts and Aberdeen's points total and said it was all down to Calderwood and that's just not true. Sure. But Aberdeen's finishes over the preceding eight years were 6th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 7th, 4th, 8th and 11th! Just like Levein at Tannadice, he took a job which bore all the appearances of a poisoned chalice, yet has done pretty well. To repeat, I don't want him at Norwich (Boothroyd's who I want) - but am happy to give credit where I think it's due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
