I wasn't going to ask the priest I was going to ask Billy Brown's brother-in -law  ;D

 

It wasn't the priest I was talking about, I have friends in higher places!  ;)

No mention of Avril but a couple of McGhee - I think we will see McGhee unveiled this week.

 

I believe we may see McGhee unveiled tomorrow.  I also think Stephen Hughes may be signed for us, which would be a positive thing.

 

Get praying then Mr B  :thumbsup:

 

Honestly, Ms H, me and he have reached a compromise these days  :thumbsup: 

(he's agreed Jim Jeffries will be nowhere near the job, I've agreed not to upstage him in mass again...  ;) )

Jesus and Moses spit roasted your mum BB.

 

I'll kick your cunt in.  :thumbsup:

No doubt he's out of our league now, given that he interviewed for the West Ham job and is being linked with Monaco, but I think John Collins wouldn't be a bad appointment. Likes to play good football, and would hopefully sort out the drink culture at the club. However, left Hibs due to money issues, and doubtful we'd be able to offer him anything more.

might as wel stick ancelloti in the list of candidates to, i rekon he's in with a shout  ;D you know wht they say, "aim for the sky nd you'll reach the ceiling, aim for the ceiling and you'll stay on the floor". why not?  :thumbsup:

Was wondering, for a minute there, why a few people were referring to Craig Levein as "Avril"

 

... until I said it out loud: "Avril Levein" - nice, I like it!  :thumbsup:

It wasn't complicated.  ;)

The Aberdeen board of directors met again over the weekend and a shortlist of candidates is now being worked through by director of football Willie Miller, who has been told by chairman Stewart Milne to carry out detailed background checks on all the candidates. But a name not on that list is Dundee United manager Craig Levein.

 

The atmosphere between Levein, who has two years remaining on his contract, and his Tannadice chairman Steven Thomson has been strained in recent weeks.

 

But the former Scotland international defender’s agent John Colquhoun rejected talk of a move north to Pittodrie. Colquhoun said: “Craig is not in a position to be considered for the job at Aberdeen and I would not have thought he would be in their thoughts.â€

I get the feeling now that AFC are holding off approaching McGhee until the Celtic job is taken. If we approach now and he makes us wait, holding out for that job, the fans will turn against him and AFC will have lost their number 1 target. Either that or we have approached him, he's making us wait and the board and McGhee have agreed to keep quite on any contact to avoid the fans turning on him.

 

I can't see any other reason why we've gone over a week since sacking JC and we've still not made an official approach for obviously our first target.

 

I won't be at all surprised if there's no developments concerning our new manager until the Celtic job is resolved.

Thats a very good point actually. I'm quite surprised that Smeltic haven't actually sorted this out already. But it certainly makes sense since we've not heard a peep.

Pretty much what was being reported on BBC Radio Scotland this morning.

 

McGhee wants to go to Celtic and Aberdeen want McGhee. Whether it has been said or its just speculation it is going to cause some annoyance among our fans. Despite the fact we all know the Celtic job is a bigger role and he is obviously going to want to go there.

 

Also said that Hibs are after Hughes. Moving from Brazil1980 to Brazil1970 could be a big move for him. My Hibs contact, although admittedly not a good one says Calderwood for ER.

RE ra Cellic, an approach been made for Martinez...

Hopefully they get this out of the way so we can get moving!

Only if you want McGhee at Todders next season. :hammer:

 

AIdy Boothroyd or Avram Grant

Why not throw in Gianluca Vialli?

I'd say McGhee is 90% certain to be our boss next season. Seems Celtic are not interested in him or they wouldn't be going after Martinez. Just a matter of time.

Why not throw in Gianluca Vialli?

 

Okay, Aidy Boothroyd, Avram Grant and Gianluca Vialli.

Can someone please tell me why McGhee would be a good choice, just a couple of reasons, as at the moment I don't understand why people are wetting themselves at the thought of him being the gaffer of Aberdeen.

He's no better than Calderwood

Aidy Boothroyd is my choice.

 

Thought.

I only read this forum dave_man, which ones do you read, you just sound like a Mcghee fanboi.  Boothroyd is where it's at.

 

Aidy Boothroyd with Windass as assistant manager

 

Boothroyd is unemployed (that rhymed hehe) i think, he fits the bill.

 

 

 

I would like to see Aidy Boothroyd appointed along with someone who's been at the club as a player.  Boothroyd has had some time out of the game and surely a club like Aberdeen would be tempting for him.  What are your thoughts on Boothroyd.

 

Christ all fucking mighty man, you like Boothroyd, we've fucking got it.

Boothroyd fanboi. :)

 

Which fanboi are you?  McGhee?

Of all the feasible candidates, I think McGhee might be the best option. By no means am I a fanboi, and I have doubts over his track record, but I'll support him if he comes in.

I will sing the McGhee song if he's the gaffer, but why do you rate him

Why do you rate Boothroyd? Relegation and subsequent decline is no recommendation at all. Less "fanboi", more "fanbelt".
