Is Mark McGhee having a swipe at the JMG mob?

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

I believe so, but he is the messiah, and as such is always right.

God your a fickle bunch!

Reporting Scotland is saying Paul Sturrock is considering coming up from Plymouth

 

[kneehigh]

as long as he doesn't bring clark back. It's maybe because he is used to having a striker called Mackie who has a strike rate of one every seventeen weeks.

I have heard Billy Reid is both interested in the job and in the running. Sorry Bobby but I thought I'd share a decent rumour.

[tlg1903]

Our average attendance this season is higher than last.

 

Maybe but there were a lot of people saying they would not renew season tickets or even go back under calderwood.  This is what im getting at by saying we need to get people through the turnstiles.  I couldnt help but notice in the highlights that there were big spaces in the stands on sunday in what was a very big game.

[TENEMENTFUNSTER]

 

Looked a healthy crowd from inside the fucking ground. All these folk weren't going back in Calderwoods tenure eh? Crowds up? Hmm I see, logical.

[tlg1903]

If Levein gets the job then I hope they are able to refund season tickets.  Can't stand the cunt or his style of football.

 

Fair dues kow but i like him and his style.  Utd were playing some very decent football up till january when they lost their starting central midfielders flood and robertson, if you look at their results thats where they started to dip.

[willie_millers-barmyarmy]

Im not keen on Billy Ried...

 

please god give us darren ferguson!!...

 

if we got darren ferguson, i would actively seek a new proffession to free up saturdays for football!! im sure alot of other people would come out the woodwork too!!! For the first time since this century...ie the last ten years AFC have a chance to play to and give there fans geniune excitement!!...

 

Surely Milne could push out the boat!!...

 

Ferguson would bring record crowds...

 

surely he'd be worth an extra penny or two!

[Mentorred]

Whats Craig Brewster doing these days?  Suprised he has not been linked.

The attendance was 14083. Aye thats massive

[TENEMENTFUNSTER]

 

So 14k isn't healthy? You are correct it isn't massive but who said it was? Hivs had near enough no-one there. So, no, not massive but healthy.

I just looked up his record, its pretty good to be fair with promotion two years on the trot.   The only thing im wary about is the whole sentimental aspect of appointing him

Do you think he could handle the pressure? Imagine everyone expecting him to be as good as his dad was.

You beat me to it

Given what was at stake i dont think im totally out of line to expect 4000 more.  Hell if i hadnt had a once in a lifetime opportunity i was coming through and i am seriously skinters at the mo TF.   All im saying is i think its important to get a manager that the fans will back straight away to get season ticket sales up.

[willie_millers-barmyarmy]

Two promotions on the trot, on a bit of a budget, heard barry fry speaking after the promotion and speaking about how low peterborough were b4 he took over, and he got rid of the dead wood, and demanded only young hungry players, rather than the highly paid, more profile players that were at the club...

 

the guys got the magic!!

 

he just does!!

 

Jump aboard the bandwagen!!! lets make it happen!

With a support as fickle as ours, fuck knows who that would be. We usually only get about 18-19 k at best when the scum are in town and they bring 4k with them. Don't quite get the number tlg.

[Mackie's ace!]

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...

Aye but when the scum are in town its normally on the telly which keeps folk away.   Given the odds were pretty much with us to snatch europe from utd i thought we would have had 17 18 easy but maybe your right and im being a bit generous.  Who knows?

His record seems good, but he is being very well supported financially.

Exactly and any manager coming here will need to run the club on a shoestring.

There was a manager who took a  team of bottom half of the table strugglers and got them to finish in the top 6, 5 years in a row, even took them into Europe a couple of times, all on a shoestring budget.

His name escapes me now.
