BobbyBiscuit Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Well what evidence is there that Mark McGhee, for instance, would do better than what we have in the last 5 years? There isn't, is that a reason to continue with the status quo? (I don't want McGhee, I just think it's a bit pointless talking about that when we'll never have the answer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackie's ace! Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 No, it's not a reason to continue but it was in response to caledonia's post as to why I wouldn't necessarily look forward to McGhee being announced as manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_min Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Strachan to be sacked tomorrow... Word on the Aberdeen pub scene is he's already resigned. I'm undecided about this whole him leaving situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I'm a bit mixed about this. I think as bobo said, I think he's done a fantastic job and stabilised the club we love after many years of uncertainty and underachievement. He's left the club with solid foundations and I think its better now than during the season. It now gives the club time to make (and I hope they've already sounded out) a suitable replacement. We needed to freshen something up because I think even JC felt he'd taken the club as far as he could. I just hope the board along with Willie Miller make the right choice. WM made the right choice with JC and I hope that they do the same again. Thank you very much Mr Calderwood and Mr Nichol, you have provided me with some of the greatest memories whilst being an Aberdeen fan and done a lot for the club. For that I thank them both and wish them both the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasgowdon Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Ricky Sbragia has resigned at Sunderland with Steve Bruce being touted as the hot favourite. Eric Black looks all the more likely... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frewdon Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 It now gives the club time to make (and I hope they've already sounded out) a suitable replacement. I think they probably have someone lined up already. The speed of events after today's game would suggest this is the case. I agree that he has steadied the club and brought back respectability, but, the standard of football has been pretty dire for some time. I for one won't be shedding any tears over their departure.

Today though we played some lovely stuff, particularly at the start. This frustrates me because we're clearly capable of it, so why aren't we doing it on a more regular basis?

This frustrates me because we're clearly capable of it, so why aren't we doing it on a more regular basis? That in itself was my major thorn if only thorn in JC's tenure. We can and are clearly capable of playing football properly and taking the game to teams, we just didn't do it anywhere enough. Had we done it, I don't think/though can't say for certain obviously, we would have lost those cup games. But thats all a matter of opinion and in the past now. The next week shall be very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sad to see a likeable guy go, but as above standard has been dire for a long while except couple of euro performances. Never seemed able to have a real go at lesser opponents and thet has to lie with the manager. Also loving the use of " bandwaggoners ". Spot on description. I want to see my team attack week in and week out with ball on deck, when did we last see that? Too many happy to plod along in mediocrity for fear of failure. p.s seen Wolfsburg won bundesleague, this is what we should aspire to become, bayern etc couldn't stop them so less of the money pish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Ok don't shoot the messenger but apparently there is a very strong rumour going around that William Miller will take over himself and Craig Robertson will be his assistant.
