Goodwin was being coy about it in the press conference, saying there's concerns over one or two, but Jonny Hayes was the player put up and he said he's fine fitness wise. So my guess would be Duk and Scales perhaps. 

Roos

Kennedy McCrorie Mackenzie Coulson

Ramadani

Barron Shinnie

Hayes

Miovski Watkins

 

That team is good enough to do the job. Let's not put Hearts up on a pedestal here, they're bang average. Just need a few battlers in there to fight fire with fire.

You weren't "scrutinised" for suggesting foreign managers.

It was because you suggested three crap ones while beating your chest about being ambitious.

I wasn't beating my chest you dick!

2 of those managers are arguably better than Goodwin as i said.

One managed Grenada who are a far better team than AFC.

Your suggestions are mediocre and boring like yourself.

Wtf is Goodwin going to do?

Get us into the top 6 and maybe a semi final.

Wooppeedoo.

Stop being so boring.

Are you even an Aberdeen fan who wants success?

You and Rico have absolutely zero arguments against 2 of those managers other than you both don't know them.

I've explained why they might be good appointments. I never said they were the best.

They were valid suggestions like everyone else's yet you both decided to criticise them even though other suggestions including your own were shite.

You can both fuck off.

There's also quite a few posters here and on other Aberdeen fans forums offering a few foreign names so I don't see why my suggestions are being scrutinised.

Ah well.

Time will tell who the board appoint.

Personally I want massive change and want something different in a manager who has experience in European competitions and knows how to win and what to do to win against the odds in any match.

So who do we have so far in the thread:

Jim Goodwin

Duncan Ferguson

Jon Dahl Tomasson

Kjetil Knutsen

Jack Ross

Lopez?

Other random Spaniard

Paul Lambert

Stuart Petrie

Neil Lennon

Slavisa Jokanovic

Jack Collinson

etc

 

I'm going for the Kuntsen like, he sounds ace.

edit: to add in the rest of the names (I think)

I see exactly what you did there Rico.

Some of the other names in that list have been sacked or done fuck all yet no question mark next to them.

I picked those guys out of a hat very quickly because they're available and have done relatively well and would perhaps be interested.

They were just suggestions as valid as Ross or Goodwin and Lennon imo.

But the 3 names above know Scottish football blah blah boringggg zzzzzz.

Granada fc is a very decent team to be a manager of and Lopez who got a team promoted to La Liga has to be pretty good at his job too.

Cormack will go for someone safe on that list though because it's the Scottish way of thinking and he won't want to take a chance like he did with Glass.(which was a ridiculous appointment)

I'm sure most fans will be happy with Goodwin or Ross though because we 'know' them which shows utterly zero ambition.

These manager types have done absolutely NOTHING for AFC in the past.

1 cup in nearly 25 years?

It's time for something different ffs.

We have the financial backing so let's try something different.

Tomasson or Knutsen would be great!

Jon Dahl Tomasson is available, could be worth a shout?

Very good shout.

Yeh, and I explained my reasons for Goodwin.

Yours is "they're foreign" and "once made a semi-final".

So a cup semi final and top 6.

Cool.

Let's get him appointed quickly so we can remain mediocre as fuck STILL.

YIPPEEEEEEE

Even McInnes was far better than that or do you enjoy stepping backwards?

What a pish, lazy appointment Goodwin would be.

If we get Ross or Goodwin as managers then Aberdeen FC has lost my support.

What am I missing here? Some guy made a semi-final, one guy won promotion from a lower league. 

Hold me back.

I'm talking to a guy who wants Goodwin as manager and who is sad Glass was sacked even though he was utter shit!

23 minutes ago, Panda said:

 

And what's so ambitious about the three guys you've touted, aside from the fact they're foreign?

What's Pedro Caixinha doing these days?

Lopez:

he led the Granotes to their first Copa del Rey semi-final after defeating Villarreal in the last minute of extra time;^[18] they lost that tie 3–2 on aggregate to Athletic Bilbao, again after extra time.^[19]

On 4 October 2021, López was fired, having earned only four points from as many draws at the start of the season. He had managed a club record 133 top-flight games, and had a lower losses percentage in the division than any other Levante manager bar Joaquín Caparrós.^[

Diego Martinez:

He later managed Osasuna and Granada, achieving promotion to La Liga with the latter.

Labbadia:

he's free

2 of those are better than Goodwin.

What do supporters want here?

A mediocre manager who can get a few results sometimes or someone who will transform us into a team who might challenge for the top 3 spots?

Is there any ambition?

Deary me.

I think Norwich want Knutson btw.

BigAl you can't have a foreign manager!!

These foreigners who probably have links to some great foreign talent, have experience in playing and winning against some good sides in Europa leagues etc, who have different styles and mentality to the Scottish game, who aren't afraid of the magnificence of the 2 cheeks, whose vision is different when recruiting players.

No, no, no totally unacceptable from our boring support.

We need someone like Lennon who had a fortune to spend and still fucked up.

Maybe give McInnes another crack at it if we can lure him away from the mighty Kilmarnock.

There's surely Scottish managers out there who know our league and are still shit at taking arguably the 3rd best team in the SPL and doing absolutely fuck all with us AGAIN.

Zzzzzzzzz.

Well I'm probably in a minority that's sad he's gone. I think he would have got it right eventually - but it was taking too long, and from what I hear Allan Russell was not very well liked by the players or people at the club.

My main fear now is what happens with Scott Brown. I don't want him to leave because I think he still has much to offer as a player. Likewise, I don't want him stepping up as manager because I doubt he's ready yet. Hopefully he carries on as player-coach under the new manager.

 

Or by me

This time we have to go low risk and just make sure we get a steady pair of hands. With a half decent manager this group of players should be at least fourth in the league.

We’ve done the young manager thing. I want to see someone who’s been round the block a few times and knows what he is doing. Going foreign would be plain stupid. For me he also has to have managed in the Scottish top flight before otherwise you are giving yourself a handicap straight from the off.

It also has to be someone with no ties/affinity to the old firm because as we have seen from McInnes, McGhee, Calderwood etc the fans just do not accept these guys.

Also if I hear Cormack come out and say he consulted “Sir Alex” during the prawcess I will scream.

This group of players are mostly shite and have flawed abilities.

Why would a foreign manager be stupid?

Ask Celtic if it's stupid?

Jesus let's stop looking for easy options who bring absolutely nothing new or unique to AFC.

It's so boring and insipid.

Paul Lambert ?

Maybe 

Bruno Labbadia

Diego Martinez

Paco Lopez

My 3 top picks.

Let's push the boat out and go foreign.

I blame Thatcher.

Least that brilliant striker coach Russell has gone too .

Fuck me it's true.

Klinsmannnnn lol

Wow seriously??

If do then correct decision.

I like Glass though.

I don't believe a new manager will sort our players out. 

For me you're either good at football or not very good and won't be much better.

We have too many bang on average players in our squad who just can't perform consistently at a higher level.

We need a new manager to build a better team and buy quality.

Sorry Glass but your time is up now.

It's just unacceptable.

Edinburgh city fc and league 2 is our level.

Glass:

He said: “If I didn’t think it was working, I would walk away, but I think you can see the fight in the team at times.

Fuck off^^^
