Agree word for word. I'd also add that he's pretty good at assigning credit to Burrows and the rest of the commercial team for a lot of that stuff rather than claiming he did it all himself. Not perfect but better than many other chairmen/owners cutting about football these days.

Surely VAR had a better angle to draw their lines than the one Sky showed? If not then it’s no better than just guessing.

3-5-2?

It's 100% going to be a stick to beat him with. Twice in the interview he mentioned how "competitive" the league was this season, so to then go on and "guarantee" that we will be competitive will absolutely be taken that we'll be in a title race next season. That's a stupid thing to say, even if he believes it, when we don't currently have a head coach or a squad in place as he simply can't make that promise. I don't have a problem with Cormack in general - it's like people have forgotten that Stuart Milne ever existed when they call Cormack "a clown" and "lacking ambition" - but in our current situation the message should be that we're working as hard as ever to do better and any "guarantee" should only relate to effort levels and investment rather than outcomes.

Also, “I guarantee we will be competitive next year” was a very risky thing to say.

I think one of Cormack’s best attributes is normally his ability to speak well and get his points across but that interview really wasn’t at all like his usual self.

A twist? A bit of spin ahead of it being announced the Horneland isn't coming? A load of shite just to fill a vacuum?

It's pretty clear from that piece that Big Dunc isn't really in tune with how clubs operate these days. The notion that a "manager" decides on player contracts went out the window as soon as - if not actually long before - Pfannensteil came in and, much as I hate it, the modern trend seems to be that managers won't take jobs mid season unless absolutely forced to. And we're not really a club that's in a position to force anyone decent to do anything.

I posted ages ago about everyone getting it in the neck this season, from cormack and burrows all the way down, but Fergie catching strays now is wild, wild stuff

Not sure if our new “ticketing and fan experience platform in association with Jump” deserves a thread if its own so sticking it in here: https://www.afc.co.uk/2026/02/26/aberdeen-fc-sign-exclusive-deal-launching-with-innovative-fan-experience-platform-jump/ Generally sounds like a load of waffle although this excerpt from Jump’s website isn’t great.

So why weren’t they off against Motherwell in the league the week before when we were rotten? Absolute havers!

Why on earth are the “shackles off” tonight but weren’t on Saturday? Mental.

We're so goal shy, despite Nisbet being a decent player at our level, that the only sane conclusion for us being so impotent for going on 18 months is a poor midfield and wingers. I want Keskinen to be good but he's really been a constant for the last season and a half so all evidence suggests that he isn't, and neither are any of the alternatives. Dire.

We'd have been better keeping Jimmy, that's how bad Leven's caretaker spell is going.
