For half the salary? I think he'd rather sit on the dole waiting for an English gig.

Celtic can pay wages approaching the levels in England - we cannae. Where's all the money coming from to pay off the current management team, pay compensation to the club we poach a manager from, and then rebuild the squad... or do we just expect a new manager not to be allowed to get new players in during his first transfer window? Do people think Aberdeen FC plc are minted all of a sudden because we wiped some money off the debt?

We will never get a manager to leave management in England to come to us. We can't compete with wages. We'll be looking at a new young manager so it will be a big gamble or else we'll be looking at an experienced SPL standard manager, change for changes sake - with crippling expenditure for compensation and rebuilding.

I think Banks O'Dee do have better facilities than Aberdeen

The facilities in Holland for the pre-season are unbelievable though - was the same in Denmark when we went there with Ebbe. Tiny amateur clubs with immaculate training pitches and facilities such as a social club. Embarrassing for Aberdeen FC really. If we built good training facilities we could cash in on the summer pre-season tour scene... how could we invite clubs to pre-season games with the facilities we have just now?

Wouldn't be a trip to Egypt without those three

CRAPS Calderwood Replaced At Post-Season

I was having the same thought about an hour ago and was going to post a poll on AFC Chat. Get fed up getting called a JIGger (WTF?!?) if ye try to add to the debate. Nae that I really give a fuck what most of the clowns over there think anyway... and don't think they'll ever open their eyes to reasoned debate. (This is the first poll I think where I've not voted arbitrarily! ) I went for the "Not particularly happy" option. Yes there appears to be problems with motivation for "must win" games - and the inconsistency is annoying as fuck. But will sacking a manager - paying compensation - paying for squad restructuring - be of any benefit? That's a 2 year process of turmoil which may see us going backwards or forwards... and we may have to start spinning the managerial merry-go-round again, that'd be a fuckin disaster. Better to hope that Calderwood gets a job offer down south and until then hope that we qualify for the euro-groups again to get some much needed revenue.
