Dave Cormack

[Tyrant]

I liked his remark about the Hampden attendance being vice-versa had the tie been played in Peterheid and he absolutely must push for a 50/50 ticket split. It is of course an absolute disgrace that any club out with the arse cheeks has to "push" for equality at a so called neutral venue. Whoever makes it to a final should be given every opportunity to sell half. That should be the default situation.

Said it before, will say it again.  Aberdeen, hearts and hibs should go to the court of arbitration for sport over this.  It's the only way it will be settled.

Any truth to the rumour that this charlatan is on holiday while our club is on its knees and staring down the face of relegation without a manager? 

What a difference a year makes.

first I've heard of it Manc but it would be a great addition. 

Found it, was in a herald article after the weekend:

 

“But we've got a lot of good going on. We're about to make another investment in the club as well to put an indoor pitch and extend the facilities at the training ground as well. And that's quite a few million. We'll invest there too. There's no bank debt at the club. So we'll just enjoy tonight and wait for the final.”

Loved seeing him do the "WILLIE MILLER" in the changing room

There's a really good interview with the Chairman up on RTV in case anyone missed it.

Going to jump to the defense of Dave Cormack here. Few out there blaming him for yet another bad hire/quick sacking. The club were not in a great financial shape when he joined the club, no training facility, a failing stadium, and other than Mcinnes (which coincided with significant financial issues in Scottish football and all of our league opponents except Celtic being relegated, and obviously rangers dying), we’ve arguably had 2 somewhat successful managers in smith/scott and calderwood since fergie. The rest have been poor.

since Willie was manager (could argue he was successful I suppose) we’ve had (not including interim) - 

Aitken - 2 years 9 months

Alex miller - 13 months

Heggarty - 5 months (may have been intern)

ebbe - 3 years 4 months (nearly relegated)

Paterson - 1 yr 5 months

Calderwood - 4 yrs 11 months

mcghee - 1 yr 5 months

brown - 2 yrs 4 months

mcinnes - 7 yrs 11 months

Glass - 11 months

goodwin - 11 months

robson - 1 yr

Thelin - 1 yr 7 months

Since cormack took over the game day experience seems to be excellent (based on what I see on red tv), the team are more connected with the fans (maybe a Thelin thing), and in current modern football he’s given managers time then pulled the plug when it’s not worked out. He’s made significant investment with the training ground, and we now have a director of football. He’s invested in the playing staff. Look at the sackings of Martin and now Nancy, cormack hasn’t been that heartless.

I don’t particularly understand the hiring of glass, and while Goodwin, Robson, and even warnock weren’t my preferred choice,s, I understood the logic. He’s also been strategic in the firings, giving time to qualify for Europe and assess squads. Many wanted Robson as manager, an inside man and fans favorite, an he was willing to hire internally and give him a chance.

curious to know what potential owners out there would come to Aberdeen and give more and do a better job. Rangers and Celtic appear a mess behind the scenes, I dont think we have it too badly and should maybe appreciate what we do have. Not an easy job finding quality owners and successful managers.

Agree,its been a messy couple of years, but its been the equivelant of an apprentice Chairman,learning the ropes,and(we hope) getting better at it.
