Right, thoughts?

My money's on the statue of Fergie.

No chance

He is not uprooting himself from London to move to us

And on the subject of no chance, who the fuck comes up with this shite

Probably correct that he wouldn’t move but someone we should at least have in the mix to ask

As for the Daily Record list sure they do it to try to wind us up

In fairness to the record - gads - they're only quoting the bookies. It just shows how out of touch the bookies are with Scottish fitba. They probably just got AI to draft a list.

Complete waste of 8 months, wrong guy, wrong place and ended as we all knew it would. Well, most of us.

I will give the club some credit here, they actually acted at breakneck speed for them but now will be the true test. Hopefully Bevington brings in some additional contacts as the bookies list is as depressing as it could possibly be.

Yup. Even just the timing of an international break, do it now and take two weeks when you have a little time to breathe. Although, what are the odds we’ll have hired someone by the next international break?

I seem to remember Uwe Rosler being slightly interested last time but timing didn’t work for him, could still be an option?

Ewe Rustler? Get him signed.

Still at Bochum

Would think he is still a potential 👍

Pep.

If it is Steve Clarke, then clearly Lutz has been sidelined and Cormack has once again ignored his big philosophy schtick, as the high energy, high pressing, attacking football we have been promised does not apply to Clarke.

John McGlynn. The more I think about it the less enthused I am. My fear would be it would once again be taking a manager from a smaller club and hoping he can make the step up (granted, he has experience at Celtic. Hearts don't count as a big club though). Goodwin, Thelin and Robinson have all struggled, Glass/Robson were inexperienced. I think we need to go for someone with more of a track record at bigger clubs.

McGlynn's signing policy too of taking gems from the lower leagues wouldn't necessarily go down as well here. Falkirk had a poor start, he wouldn't get that same patience here, especially considering he probably needs two transfer windows to sort us out.

But, you have to say his football at Falkirk is terrific. And I've met the guy twice and he's a big loveable bastard.

Steven Pressley, Neil Lennon, and dare I say it - John Hughes - are all in the "wise up min" category.

I remain in the Jon Dahl Tomasson camp until he rules himself out, or Lutz springs a more exciting name on us.

Someone just put that on one of my chat groups. I had to watch it twice. The guy even says it with a straight face.

Is Horneland a realistic option?

I’m already resigned to it being Neil Lennon.

Just been shown an article by Bill Leckie.

"Aberdeens problem is not Stephen Robinson, it's comparing everything to the Fergie era."

2026 and still peddling shyte like that as journalism.

Contracted till 2030 so I would suggest no. Even if he does have a release fee it will be in 7 figures most likely and we ain't paying that. I'm already wincing at what it has cost to bin Robinson, Kerr and Craigan.

That this melt is still employed says everything about the fantasy of meritocracy.

Met Lockie socially back in the days after McInnes left us. He has been mates with McInnes for years and years and was extremely bitter about AFC so would pay absolutely no heed to anything this irrelevant hack has to say

Wigan are 21st league 1. No thanks.

I agree re Mcglynn. I was all for him last time round but I think it would be too hard to prise him from there now. He would need to be really convinced to leave Falkirk for Aberdeen and it would be all kinds of humiliating if he knocked us back. Too much risk all in with that appointment if you ask me.

Would genuinely be shocked if Clarke had any interest, he's got a cosy life in London and if he was to get back into club management I expect him to show up at a championship club in that vicinity.

The only manager I would go for domestically is Valakari whom I have dug further into since Robinson was confirmed gone. We have a good chance of getting him and he will have a release fee that is likely affordable. I REALLY like his track record too. Over 500 matches managed, 6 trophy wins, two second tier league titles and a fucking 51% win record! 51%...... I don't care what level it is at, that ain't nothing (and Finnish league, where the majority of those 500 games were played, is hardly novice level). He also seems to have a great track record at sorting out monumental messes left to him as Craig Levein was his predecessor at St J.... Nuff said there but if memory serves Simo still had them playing some good stuff before the got relegated. T'internet says he has a strong record at developing youth and overall he would certainly seem to tick all the boxes Cormack said he want ticked best I can tell so the likes of Bevington and Lutz would surely be on board.

This idea can fuck right off. And when it gets there it can fuck off again as well. Jesus wept, my blood pressure does not need rumours like this.

I don’t see how Pep Guardiola can give the opportunity a miss to finally prove he is Sir Alex’s equal.
