Woke up this morning to the deletion of the original general thread, so here's an all new one.

Lob your general AFC stuff in here folks instead 

 

Given the quick turnaround I think Burrows has been pushed rather than resigned.

Robbo says that Marshall will not be loaned out as he is an integral part of the squad now.

Sense has prevailed at last

Miller has told the BBC that Robinson has turned things around at Aberdeen.

Unfortunately, it's not a proclamation from the Miller, but it's Lee.

Joe, Bertie and Alex Fucking have yet to comment on the Dons this season.

Now now. I was there when he did the interview. He was representing Aberdeen at the tennents sixes launch and was asked one question about Stephen Robinson and the Dons.

He's also a nice bloke and, by all accounts, a good hairdresser.

So you behave yourself min.

I wasn't having a go at Lee Miller, it's just that there's a pecking order of AFC Millers, and he is not at the top. I would say that if Willie (or even Bertie) said the Dons were doing well under Robinson, that would mean more than if Lee said it.

I always signed him for the Dons on Championship Manager 4 and he was an excellent player for me, so I have a lot of time for him.

Be interesting to see what team we put out. Robinson said they'd have a friendly or two during the break, so may actually be a few first team players.

I think Lobban will be right back.

Should we boo him?

Aye. Fucking reject.

Struggling with today's BBC Brainteaser. Any ideas?

Galatasaray

The club aren't exactly shouting this from the rooftops, but apparently this gets you a ticket for £15.

Interesting to see the new CEO doing interviews on Dons podcasts. Both HWG and RTG having a chat. Comes across well albeit it’s just talk at this point.

Was certainly a criticism of Burrows, he did very little (if any?) of that. Proof will most certainly be in the pudding though and lord knows we’re all hoping that it’s not another bit of window dressing.

New marketing director appointed now too. Certainly seems to be a change of pace on the commercial side, which already seemed to have been doing quite well.

Really good interview with Bevington on the Premier sports Monday night club show on you tube. Interestingly Darrell Currie has known him for years and they are clearly friendly.

He spoke well in the interviews I’ve listened to so far. Seems open to engaging at all levels and sounds like he is immersed in the club already. Hopefully he can be a galvanising force between Mowbray, Lutz and Robinson and keeps DC at bay.

Was solid and consistent on the two podcast interviews (Here We Go and Red Tinted Glasses). Refused to be drawn into commenting on Cormack being an ‘activist chairman’ shall we say. Kept stressing that AFC have all the fundamentals in place to be successful.

Connor Ronan backs Nisbet to get over 20 goals this season, according to the P&J.

So that's him jinxed now. He won't score again. Nice work, Connor.

If he keeps going as he is he could have it by new year 🤞

Fergie’s new book (not for me, like) is reviewed in today’s Scotsman. The reviewer quotes this:

“One claim that stands out is Ferguson’s contention that if Aberdeen had been able to retain the services of Steve Archibald, sold to Spurs in 1980, and paired him with Frank Mcdougall, bought from St Mirren in 1984, then Aberdeen could have won the European Cup. You wouldn’t put it past them. Aberdeen lost on away goals to Porto at the quarter-final stage in 1985-86, Ferguson’s last full season at Pittodrie.”

You would have thought they would check these things.

But I suppose the book is aimed at Manchester United fans, who would skim through the part about when he managed the biggest club on the planet.

Ekstrom PTSD vibes. Did you have to bring it up Blin 🫣😞🤣

Those bastards soured a great relationship between the Dons and Gothenburg
