May 21, 201214 yr comment_131835 I would want to see Jess build a managerial career before offering him the job. Seen too many dons legends fall by the wayside in recent times and its painful to see crowds turn on legends Report

Seen too many dons legends fall by the wayside in recent times and its painful to see crowds turn on legends I like Jess enough to hope he never has the misfortune of coming to the managerial graveyard that is Pittodrie.

May 21, 201214 yr comment_131839 I like Jess enough to hope he never has the misfortune of coming to the managerial graveyard that is Pittodrie. Agreed... although reality is he could probably still walk into the Dons side if he is looking for a contract? Report

May 22, 201214 yr comment_131847 I would want to see Jess build a managerial career before offering him the job. Seen too many dons legends fall by the wayside in recent times and its painful to see crowds turn on legends McGhee was an experienced manager when we appointed him. He was shite. No reason why Jess shouldn't be considered in a year or two if he joins as assistant now. Report
May 22, 201214 yr comment_131848 I think Jess is the type of guy that we should be looking for. I'd give him a chance. Report
May 22, 201214 yr comment_131852 I think Jess is the type of guy that we should be looking for. I'd give him a chance. Agreed with the sentiment so far, he is the kind of young assistant I would like to see alongside Brown. Report
May 22, 201214 yr comment_131855 We wouldn't even be discussing this as a possibility if he had never played for us. Let him go and learn the ropes elsewhere, if he does well, consider him then but only because he's good at his job and not just because he once played for us. Another thing to consider though... if he was hacked off with the board's lack of ambition in his final days here as a player, what on earth is he going to think of them now should he ever become manager?

May 22, 201214 yr comment_131880 Could he do a job at left back? No, he's far too attack-minded to play in Broon's team Report
May 23, 201214 yr comment_131924 Maybe trying his hand for getting in as an apprentice with Brown. I've certainly heard far worse suggestions, but can we afford another coaching role?! Report
