  1. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/aberdeen-fc-manager-latest-jimmy-32496164?fbclid=IwAR2MeY_tCpyZWm5mJQJurMQrUT93fLFPwxw6kBQGj2X_IHvo7E_FR50Hs7c Apologies for the source but Scott Burns is usually well informed. Sounds like Thelin is the man they want and aren't letting it go
  2. When the tourist was appointed I mind the sportsound team being fairly sure Leven has absolutely no interest in the position, didn't want the pressure. I can't see any set of results, even a Scottish cup win, getting him the job. I wouldn't be devastated if he was in till the end of the season but I would much better for that not to be the case.
  3. According to Scott burns the club were hoping/expecting it to be done over the weekend which I assume is why the story got leaked.
  4. Yeah, it isn't underwhelming exactly but we are unlikely to see a spike in season ticket sales either. If it is him I suspect the delay is the fixture this evening. Friendly or not I could see why you wouldn't want to leave NI in the lurch against Scotland, that it would be to leave yo a Scottish club side would be extra salt in the wound too. For that to be true though it presents a conundrum which makes me think none of this is the case. The club seemed genuinely confident they would get the appointment done at the weekend, O'Neill is unlikely to have given that impression given NI had a fixture. Making that announcement was pointless, they should have just kept the powder dry until the ink was on the paper. Now everyone is wondering what is going on even more and the club looks extra shambolic.... Which is actually quite impressive to manage given how shambolic we were looking prior.
  5. If memory serves the consultants we brought was a German company? Wouldn't be totally shocking if we brought in someone with German football experience from that pov
  6. Where are you hearing that al?
  7. Today or tomorrow but you would think today.
  8. Aye the record is running that too.
  9. He could take that Armstrong kid if he wanted. That's fair though. Personally I think both parties have moved on enough that a reconnection would likely produce something new but that's just my opinion. It could be distinctly average.... Though I doubt it would ever get worse than that.
  10. Disagree, Ramirez's wage alone proves we started spending bigger the moment Mcinnes left. That season we also payed fees for besuijen, Jet and bates as well I think? Brown would have been on a higher wage than anything Mcinnes could have offered either. I agree however Goodwin was given even more to play with but of the three Mcinnes clearly had the smallest pot and imo it's because Cormack wanted to move him on.
  11. One thing I do find interesting is Mcinnes, to the best of my knowledge anyway, has yet to be asked it about it by the media. And you would think they would have by now after the warnock debacle. I can't help but wonder if he has instructed journalists before any interview not to ask him about it. If that is the case (and of course that is nothing but speculation) then it would possibly suggest an interest in coming back. I'm normally never go back but I would be happy to make an exception in this case. With hindsight I feel he was a bit hard done by previously. It had absolutely gone very stale by the end of his tenure but I think a big reason for that now is that cormack kept the purse strings tight as he wanted to bring in his own man. I can't be the only person on here that has wondered what Mcinnes could have done with such an increased wage budget that every manager since has enjoyed. How would everyone feel if it was DM once again?
  12. Cowan is always saying on the radio Motherwell are the team you want to play when you're a desperate for a result.
  13. I would snap your hand off for Mcinnes back right now
  14. I heard Macintyre quiz him about it on the radio when he was first in charge of Ni and after he had turned down Scotland. He obviously denied it but fwiw I found him reasonably convincing at the time. I don't think you can get away with being an alcholic manager these days 2bh, there's too much scrutiny on you.
  15. Aye, I was pleased with the win and then the day got even better. I honestly never want to hear the phrase "are you with me?" ever again. The holiday maker departing and the surprisingly convincing win over Killie aside what an absolute clusterfuck of a position the club has got itself into. He was supposed to be here till the end of the season but now apparently he's been telling them for ages they need to get someone else in beforehand. I'm calling bullshit on that. I think he found out the club were planning to replace him earlier than he expected and he's decided to go on his terms instead. I can respect that 2bf.
  16. I'm fervently praying it was relevant we played Killie today but I suspect you're probably correct.
  17. 1. I wasn't talking to you droppy. 2. Swing and a miss! I didn't actually say anything negative about Warnock, I merely offered my opinion that what we were seeing was fairly standard fare for teams managed by him to one of the other adults in the room. 3. Why don't you give it a rest? I'm sure I can't be the only poster on here that is long fed up of your empty drum makes the most noise happy clapper shite.
  18. It's standard warnock football if you ask me.
  19. Aye well said. When I saw the starting line up my head was in my hands. I honestly can't believe the credit warnock is getting for making changes when the lineup he picked was so utterly insane. A change to a back 3 when said back 3 will involve 2 fb's at cb whilst leaving an actual cb on the bench beggars belief. To put mcgrath to lwb even more so. He should be getting zero credit, quite the opposite actually, he had to waste two subs to try and reclaim a 3 goal deficit that was entirely his fault. I don't think it's unfair to say would have won that game comfortably if he hadn't gone all 'experimental. Sadly, going by social media, there are far too many sycophants seal clapping the comeback. I weep for humanity sometimes, I really do. The only positive is Duk is looking more like himself but I still think the season is over. We aint getting into Europe with this fud in charge and as for the cup I can't help but fancy Killie to stuff us in the next round...
  20. I never once feared getting drawn into the relegation battle under Robson. I genuinely do now. I also can't help but wonder if warnock might manage to get sacked inside the 4 month period.
  21. Can see us taking a doing here, Motherwell looking very comfortable
  22. He's got fucking mcgrath at lwb by the looks of it
  23. Assuming, of course, the question wasn't rhetorical... The satisfaction came from the asking which I found a perfectly reasonable response to such a nonsensical post 2bh (which is why your assumption I would feel like a dick is way off base incidentally). OD has form for those though, I usually just try to scroll by but he specifically replied to me so I thought fuck it. Not even remotely sorry.
