maverick sheep Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Eoin Jess wants to be Aberdeen FC manager By Charlie Allan Published: 21/05/2012 ABERDEEN FC legend Eoin Jess today admitted he is determined to prove he can hack it as a manager at the highest level. Jess confessed that eventually taking over as boss of Aberdeen FC “would be a dream”. And he has taken a brave step in pursuit of that dream by walking away from the secure job he had as a youth coach with Nottingham Forest.

tlg1903 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy_Don Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I think Jess is the type of guy that we should be looking for. I'd give him a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyBiscuit Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 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?

One Bobby Clark Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Could he do a job at left back? No, he's far too attack-minded to play in Broon's team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kowalski Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 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?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
