Scott Brown signs pre-contract with Aberdeen

[Simply Red]

Pretty sure none of the dissenters will be complaining when he lines up v the huns in a red top and puts The Rat on his arse. 

[Ke1t]

Mongo on a Prayer

They say we gotta hold on to what we got

A McInnes team that won't take a shot

It won't make a difference if we sack him or not

We won't take a shot

 

Whoa, now Mongo's there

Whoa, legs gone, zero hair

Take a shot, you'll score it I swear

Whoa, nope, it went miles over there

It says coach in the statement, nothing about assistant manager. Read the statement. 

Glass said in his interview that he would essentially be "one of the assistants". Not being formally named as that though, which suggests to me that him and Russell will both be coaches on an equal footing but basically two assistants.

Have the dons ever signed someone so decorated?

Gillhaus had a European cup winners medal. Also a poof which would have suited some of the gimps on here greeting about Broony ?

[AllyDon]

Richard Gordon and God himself Miller on Sportsound are very positive about the signing.

Remember how Celtic thought they were signing a super star that would put the shits up all opponents just by his presence alone? Roy Keane? How did that work out for them?

 

same when Huns signed Joey Barton.

 

This signing for us is our equivalent of both these signings 

 

Over hyped shite & so many are falling into same childish delusional traps as the arsecheek fans did with them

 

quite condescending & really quite pathetic 

Spot on. He's gone as a player and unproven as a coach. All this "snap Jack" chat is horrific.

Thing with that is Keane and Barton had both done fuck all up here and thought they would stroll it. Barton thought he was going to be the best player in division! Least brown knows what it’s about up here and knows what it takes 

Brown is being hyped by loads on here just like they both did by the are’s cheek fans.

Brown has been an also ran player for past two seasons & that was in a better team than us but will be playing same teams.

Only positive I see from this is ‘maybe’ in the dressing room but as a player he’s shite & pretty much worthless & will likely get more red cards with us in one season than he did in ten with them

It's got disaster written all over it. He's an aggressive bully who is also thick as shit in a bottle. He's spent as a player and has none of the attributes to be a successful coach.

And we know this how 

I have ranted screamed abuse at him for years the most recent when he “ did” Watkins 

however as a coach he is indeed untested we can judge once he has been in post for a while 

[paddy]

Never in a million years thought we'd see him at Pittodrie.

Lets hope hes more Barry Robson, and less Jackie Macnamara.

You can't deny he's intensely stupid, I just don't think someone who's a thick,aggressive bully can be a successful coach.

[tightbreeks]

Had a wee deek at the celtic chat rooms. They seem to think he'll earn his stripes here and then go back there. Get over yourselves.

[tightbreeks]

That photo of simpson winning that 50/50 against Durrant. Wee durranty had his studs up as well.

The scott brown you know, from the pitch, is a world away from the real man

Correct because he’s a complete shrinking violet shitebag off the pitch. Needs his goons around him for protection 

[jamiesd]

This could be a masterstroke. It may not be. One thing for sure is. Its got the fans really talking.  Welcome aboard Scott.

Exactly. 

A lot more interesting that finding out your pre contract signings are Curtis Main and Ash Taylor.

And in any case, he's coming here to start a coaching career really. It's a bonus that we can get a short period of his experience on the pitch. 

This could be a catalyst signing. Lets see who comes in next.  Hopefully paves the way for others to want to get on the bus.

Same.

The sight of Brown kitted totally in red v Celtic and/or Sevco will be something from Bizarro World.  

[Mr Brightside]

Is he going to take the captains armband?

can he/should he be captain and (assistant?) coach?

If he's going to play he should definitely be captain imo.

I'm not really expecting him to play every week, so I'd say no

That's what I'm hoping Scotty.That signing Brown makes other players sit up and take notice and want to be part of something. 

[Scotty_Toronto]

Our captain should be someone we are expecting to play 90 minutes week in and week out in the starting XI.

Lewis Ferguson would be my pick.

[BitWait]

Lewis Ferguson should be captain. Has the attitude and starts when fit.

He should walk up to Lewis and physically take it off him

"I'm captain now"

Jesus ?

[Dr_Manhattan]

Given the amount of 1st team players out of contract at the end of the season, it's entirely possible our captain is not yet at the club.

[fine-n-dandy]

Brown will not even be as effective on the pitch for us as Shinnie was on a bad day

[AllyDon]

Don't think being captain has done Joe any favours. 

Would be a bold move for Glass to come in and take the captaincy off Joe especially if Joe is remaining at the club as our number 1. 

Lewis Ferguson has not done enough this year to suggest he is ready to take on the captain's role yet.
