Mackie's ace!

I was going to drive past Pittodrie before I came home although I hadn't seen that story...changed my mind though. I thought he was getting unveiled on Thursday?

I'm in the Jager camp with this one. Good news, and hope he develops as hoped, but we have seen a number of false dawns previously - Andrew Bagshaw anyone

Spotted on Union Street on Sunday.

Can't wait for Rockness this weekend.

Friday night - The Aliens followed by The Flaming Lips will be phenomenal!

Heavy rain forecast for Saturday.

Plan B is off to Hibs.

We won't go out of business on the basis that we haven't yet received c.£200k.

Have Celtic even interviewed McGhee?

I am led to believe the doubts about McGhee aren't to do with Celtic.

Alrighty peeps.  Joined up because I wanted to see what everyone was saying about Mark McGhee and the future for Aberdeen dependent on our new manager.  If you want to hear my tuppene worth, I think that McGhee .  I'm happy at all the recent developments as it has enabled us to freshen things up before we stagnate as that's what was happening under Jimmy Calderwood.  We should be a more attractive opening at the moment than ever at the moment with a stabilised club, a decreasing debt and European football next season.  I think Jimmy Calderwood steadied the ship however the last couple of seasons we've not kicked on and I think he took us as far as he can.  I actually think Mcghee would be a decent appointment in the short-term as he'll probably take us up a level for a year or two then bugger off to England.  That's the reality of the situation though and it'd be good if that was the case as we'll have maybe won a trophy to put in the cupboard.  Eric Black was a no go from the start and some of the other names mentioned are absolutely ludicrous.  It's a shame that there are other clubs are looking for managers at the same time but this may open doors for us at the same time.  What do you think?

I think McGhee would be a disaster. Aidy Boothroyd is my choice.

I wish it was the Premiership! WM also appears to be a fan.

He'll get the Falkirk job when Yogi goes off to the Premiership

Premiership?

I suspect that was more down the the attempts to not tell everyone before the big game that we had that weekend. Or else my source is just shite, in which case they'll be getting told as much if McGhee is unveiled! I heard tonight he was a doubt, which if he was certain to be appointed on Thursday seems a bit strange.

Aye, he'll be announced on Thursday.

Not what I heard tonight! I eagerly await Thursday.

I had a nightmare last night that Jefferies was appointed manager. I was so angry I stormed down to Pittodrie to return my season ticket and told them that I was very unimpressed!

I was relieved to wake up. 

He's gone, why don't we move on?

Hopefully Hughes will go to Hibs.

Yeah I saw the Whelan story too (on EE website, of course). Has he even got any coaching badges?

I hope there's an appointment next week to stop all these stories.

for what reason dave_man.  You seem to be a Mcghee fanboi so why do you want him as our new boss. what about the other managers that haven't even been mentioned.

You seem to be missing your ? ? ? s...you missing a key on your keyboard?

I think I must have been getting confused with all the ifs, buts and maybes, as I thought we were playing on the 16th/23rd if Rangers won, and the beginning of July if Falkirk did. Which means even if I wanted to I can't go to the away leg. Better still be in Europe in September!

P&J suggests that is Rangers win the cup our first game is July 30th, and if Falkirk do it's July 16th. Are they wrong?

Two Aberdeen legends of varying status will be unveiled as new manager and asst either late on Thursday or early Friday.

Source?

Is Derek McInnes not just Paterson 7 years ago (minus the getting promoted to the SPL bit)?

Bank holiday weekend, Sunday 1pm kick off perhaps had an effect on the numbers? The crowd looked bigger than 14k I'd have said, but Hibs definitely had a poor support. Bar Caley/Hearts at Christmas a couple of times, when else have we had attendances of 18k not against the OF? Not often I'd guess. And since 18k v. the OF is 14k Aberdeen fans, I'd suggest we did okay on Sunday.

I know extremely little about Darren Ferguson's managerial career but the cynic in me believes that the vast majority of people calling for him think he's going to be great because of his father...

is he saying board were wrong, cross him off the list, just talked himself outta a job

God your a fickle bunch!

Dundee Utd's is terrible!

Can't believe in 5 years Caley have done better than United! If only United had got relegated...

I hope some of the names listed above with odds are nowhere near serious.
