The complete and solid silence from the club with regards to search for our next permanent manger is extremely concerning to put it mildly. The managerial search "update interviews" that the penguin thief gives on Red TV now and again are a fukin joke, The boy says a lot and and at the same time actually says sweet fk all, the cunt should be a politician ffs.

What are you actually expecting though? Recruitment processes for high-level roles always tend to be fairly private out of respect for the people involved and their current employers. There's absolutely no need for the fanbase to be privy to names on shortlist and the like.

When you look at how people jumped on and obsessed over the throwaway comment about it being advantageous for the next manager to have exposure to the Scottish game as being an absolute dealbreaker and that he'd be doing a massive U-Turn if he brought in someone that didn't fit that profile, it's no wonder he's saying the bare minimum.

However much you want to dress it up, our search for a new manager has reached the point of taking the piss.

Was their not a comment from Lutz, when he joined, that he always has five names in his book to call upon, if a new manager was required.

Really don't think it would hurt the club to communicate more with fans.

Maybe we need to get someone into the club with a communications/PR background...

They should be putting out a daily statement informing us that they have no further update on the manager situation.

They should have a town crier delivering the latest manager news outside Pittodrie every day at 10 am.

Or have a papal style enclave where they meet to choose a new manager. As soon as we see red smoke pouring out of the Main Stand, we will know if we have a new boss.

Because I said it is!

As fans we're invested in the club, and I feel our communications are shit in general.

Look at when Thelin was sacked, everyone knew he was gone, well ahead of the club statement.

Get your arse back up here and get it done min.

I'd say 1pm would be a better time for it though.

I've no idea why but I'm holding out hope that the appointment will be a WOW (in a good way) signing that'll have the impact required to get this once great club off it's knees.

If it's not and it's just a sticking plaster approach then I really do fear being left behind Hearts and Hibs nevermind the gruesome twosome moving forward.

We’re already there 1983. Fcuking depressing.

Genuinely not far from what kiwi politicians love to do. Make an announcement that they’ll be making an announcement confirming the announcement in the future.

I actually think Lutz has some communication /media training- as BUS has said, he says a lot and the soundbites are what folk want to hear, but actually says very little.

I am very sceptical that he is the person that will build the sustainable football structure that we need - I will give him the benefit of the doubt for now as he is only 2/3 months in to a shit show, but be interesting to look back in a year to see how well this has worked

This will be why there's a lack of updates. Being told to fuck off for giving an update

Ain't Robinson then if that's true....

I’ve been told its a German.

No name though, and no surprise really.

Disappointed its not Askou, he might have told us to fuck off though of course…
