Football fans who follow social media accounts of players’ relatives are without exception absolute wrong ‘uns and belong on a register.

From P&J:

 

”Meanwhile, Leighton Clarkson, 24, could yet remain at Aberdeen beyond January, following the change in the Dons’ management.

In November, we revealed the English playmaker also looked to be heading for a winter exit. 

Both player and club – attempting to cash in on the former Liverpool youth as he entered the final two years of his Pittodrie contract – entertained the Scottish Cup winner’s departure in the summer, with an approach from a Polish club knocked back by Clarkson.

Clarkson subsequently fell down the pecking order under Thelin this term – starting just three of 17 games as the Swede ruled he did not fit into his midfield.

While Clarkson’s camp are still gauging January transfer options in England and elsewhere this window, the re-appointment of Peter Leven as interim boss, and the prospect of a new permanent manager at Aberdeen, is viewed to have improved his playing prospects.

Clarkson was a key man, starting nine of Leven’s 11 matches in charge during his previous, successful extended caretaker stint in 2024.

Though Clarkson was on the bench for Tuesday’s 2-0 defeat at Rangers, there is hope he will be rewarded for his second half impact as a substitute.

It is understood Clarkson’s representative have also been left feeling positive after conversations with Aberdeen sporting director Lutz Pfannenstiel.”

Wonder what was said by the Penguin, presumably about the broader approach for the team / style of play and what they’re looking for in a new manager.

I would like him to stay, but we need to find a way to utilise him correctly. Incredibly talented player but clearly got lost in whatever system we were attempting to play under JT.

He got lost in previous managers systems as well.

Yeah it wasn’t necessarily levelled just at JT. My first sentence was more pertinent, as he needs to be utilised correctly. Whatever that way is.
