If Our Manager Wasn't Mark McGhee...

would he have been binned last season, or even this season? Or would he be the subject of serious abuse from supporters if he hadn't been such a great player for us?

 

I never wanted McGhee in, and I said on these pages that one of the reasons for that was that i couldn't stand the pain of seeing of one of our greatest ever players (that's something that will never change) leaving the club in such a sad way again.  Willie Miller being sacked as manager was one of the saddest days as a Dons fan.

 

But, I got pretty fed up last season, I know some were less patient in the length of time it took for them to get fucked off with him (i.e. pre season training, 2009  ;)) and the excuses just now are wearing thin... the results wore thin some time ago and as for selelction and tactics, well...

 

I'm not calling for him to go, but he's not just drinking in the last chance saloon surely? They're calling time and putting the chairs up on the tables. We can't go on like this, legend or not, but where the fuck do we go from here whether he stays or not?

I'd take the Krankies!

 

Not John Hughes!!!

 

Butcher is currently in talks about a new contract at ICT.  We'd have to move quick.

 

Jocky Scott would be a good short term appointment t steady the ship.

 

I think Burley might be a good option too.

Surely the thread title should be changed from "if" to "now" and "wasn't" to "isn't"

Derek Adams for me, a good friend of mine works in a key role at county and I get a lot of inside knowledge on how he goes about his business.  He's a huge Aberdeen fan too

Eddie Turnbull for me, we need what he did in the late 60s /early 70s

Not Adams out of the frying pan into the fire

McInnes if anyone if were going for someone young and relatively untested

Not having a good time this season last I checked.

 

Jocky Scott for me with maybe a young manager working with him and learning from him. Who that'd be I do not know.

Never thought I'd see people on AFC-Chat calling for Calderwood to return!!!

Bit unlucky with results but been playing quite well.  Beat falkirk away today too.  I concede its a gamble but who isnt at the moment?  I would have trepidation about Jocky Scott on the grounds that he blew it massively at dundee with a squad that should have waltzed the league and that i dont think he has moved with the times with regards to training methods and man management. 

Jocky Scott till the end of the season.

 

Or, Jocky Scott till the end of next season, with a young assistant that can take over when he goes.

Jimmy Calderwood for me.

Didn't Dundee blow it because they sacked him?

Dundee went downhill when he left. Either way, he'd be the steady hand we need and is a good coach.  I've got absolutely no idea if his training methods or man management have moved with the times or otherwise to be honest.

Better start looking, he's off.

He's on radio now saying "why shouldn't i be the one to lead the team on Tuesday?"

No way he can stay BB, utterly untenable position and also having heard the same interview, he's probably quite ill too.

The answer in short Mcghee is because you are shite. Leave. Now. Burley, i thought Dundee were losing a lot of games that led him to getting sacked after doing well? We are a mess.

I know, but I thought he was actually gone the way you phrased it, as in "officially left the building".

Jimmy Calderwood for me.

:thumbsup:

Ah wish mate.

 

He's already left his fucking senses.

I wisnae joking about Turnbull

 

A lot of you youngsters here dont realise that he is the "type" we need right now. He came in in 66(?) and at the end of his first season freed something like 16 first teamers and built a squad that would win games but not be pretty. 2 years later we were cup winners and the only real challengers to cellics 9inarorowgodsfreverjockstein team.

 

We need that now

Showing your age now  :thumbsup:

But I know what you are saying my dad has told me the story many times in the last 20 years when we were shouting for a managers head. He would say we need a turnbull to do a major clear out.

Although these days with contracts and More money needed to replace players it might be harder to do.
