Welcome home Stephen, good to have 'one of our own' at the helm!

I thought I'd start a new thread for him as he is confirmed as the new manager now and no longer speculation and I thought he deserved his own thread!

More of this please Sir!

P & J reporting he is gone.

Beat me to it. Must be getting better.

 

Oh well.

Wow seriously??

If do then correct decision.

 

I like Glass though.

Fuck me it's true.

Official now.

Coaching staff gone as well.

Well I'm probably in a minority that's sad he's gone. I think he would have got it right eventually - but it was taking too long, and from what I hear Allan Russell was not very well liked by the players or people at the club.

My main fear now is what happens with Scott Brown. I don't want him to leave because I think he still has much to offer as a player. Likewise, I don't want him stepping up as manager because I doubt he's ready yet. Hopefully he carries on as player-coach under the new manager.

He's not that good a player that we should be concerned, and he's professional enough - hopefully - not to down tools (apart from that time he did under deila). It was a ridiculous situation to sign him as player coach/assistant anyway, this was always going to happen. A coaching role is fine if he's willing to accept that on the terms of the new manager. He's absolutely nowhere near ready for a management role. 

Thank fuck. Should never have been hired in the first place. 
 

Bit worried we’re going to be lumbered with Brown now.

Or by me 😅

Probably as good a place as any to put this.

Stephen Glass has been confirmed as number 2 to Robbie Keane at Hungarian champions Ferencvaros.

Not a bad gig that

Yeah a good gig for him. I'll never wish him anything but good luck, he just had faaar too big a job to do at Aberdeen
