Eddie Howe would be the pick of the English lower league managers at the moment and has worked miracles with absolutely no money at all. He also knows how to create a defence out of one centre back so could surely do it with four. But they're in a play-off position for the Championship and Bournemouth is a hell of a long way from Aberdeen.

You know this sentence set something going in my mind, which didn't occur to me at the time. When McGhee took over he introduced the PUNISHMENT for cards or poor performances (I forget which) of doing "community service". Why was it a punishment to go visit sick kids at hospital or do some coaching at Airyhall Primary? Symptomatic of the negativity displayed at the beginning of this tenure, and something the new man has to avoid.

Although business class tickets to Vegas must be increasing in price this close to Christmas.

If those were the actual choices I'd stick with the guy I thought should have been brought in when Calderwood was punted, even if it would cost (even) more money and regardless of him being an ex-jute and ex-hun. McInnes. At the same time any one of those would be acceptable as far as I am concerned.

You do know what a manager does, don't you? There's a clue in the word manager

What a load of contradictory nonsense.

^^^^All of this^^^^ Shyte sketches intermingled with forced bits of stand up that I heard last week when watching his latest DVD.

Its great that we have a manager that knows how to treat the young players and get the most out of them.

Thing is unless you've been searching for penis, anal or vagina in safari or have someone called that in your phone book it won't know those words to attempt to predict them in the first place.

Where has McGhee been a miracle worker with a low budget? He couldn't get Wolves promoted with a budget that was bigger than Man United's at the time. Back when Calderwood was binned everyone who thought it was a bad idea asked the same question as you are here "Who would you want as manager?" and the answer from those who thought getting rid was a good idea was "That's not for us to decide it is the job of the board". At this time though we could bring back Alex Miller and Steve Paterson as co-managers and expect an improvement. The apparent lack of giving a shit from the boardroom, and the complete absence of morale, leadership or direction from the dressing room means the club is about as low as it can go. As for the financial aspect... and I've avoided the "Told You So" thread purposefully but what the fuck did you expect when you were calling, for a club in debt to the tune of £10 million, to sack a management team less than a year into a three year contract?

If there was any of the claimed passion for the club; McGhee would have walked, if he had a shred of decency; he would have walked. Tonight while the rest of us are beginning to concern ourselves with Christmas and how that effects our finances, McGhee is likely to be planning to spend his in Vegas. He needs to be reminded that Gothenburg was nearly 30 years ago and that legendary status is not guaranteed for life, if it has even survived intact to this point.

Having planning permission for the site will add significant value I would have thought.

When you consider the likelihood that the compo for McGhee, Leitch and Meldrum as well as Leighton's pay off will be included also last season our lowest average attendance since 03/04 and the collapse of the Setanta deal. OK there is the alleged £600k for Miller but I'd bet a large proportion of that was based on goals scored and appearances, wouldn't surprise me if there was a good bit to be added to the debt. When's the latest they can be filed, December 31st?

Isn't it something like 50 games since we had a 0-0? Bound to be due one even if just by the law of averages.

Jamie should have gone. Encouraged Chris to put back the appt that would have won them the task so they could have a few more Krombacher Pils.

Walter Smith is da clulas manaja i bet he neva watchd Aberdeen U19's 6 yeers ago proberly playing for a draw tonite as well loosser metalaty neva win anyfink proberle finks drawing games in tha champs leeg is a acheevmant

Surely we could just get Willie Miller back. We did much better back when he used to ref our games.

Not sure if the internet plays a significant role. You tend to forget bad bits over time and keep the good memories and when you take into account someone like Bett just wouldn't be playing for a team like Aberdeen nowadays and Irvine could walk into our current team and make an immense improvement (for evidence look at Kirk Broadfoot playing regularly for a hun team 27 points ahead of us), it's hardly surprising they are remembered fondly.

From the Guardian:

Throught the entire World I'd have thght.

Blanking out a number plate is not a laughing matter, I'd have been straight on the phone to the cops.
