  1. If O'Neil was the first choice, then i very much doubt we have been sitting waiting for weeks, with a decision or compensation still to be agreed or other areas to be agreed. It just wouldn’t make sense. likewise, if we were as close as Burrows made out, then why drop the video statement today. A written update would have sufficed. something stinks and i still think Journo’s have no real clue, so are still sitting on the O'Neill information from a week or so ago. like others, i suspect we have been knocked back by our primary targets, and have now moved on to someone in europe.
  2. Just watched the full video. Need to watch it again, but an awful lot of rambling and not really saying anything. Looks to be a Zoe Ogilvie PR special. Nothing that was said, was what we hadn’t worked out already. Burrows goes on about how it’s an attractive club… but it’s really not in all honesty. A two horse run league, nearly impossible to win trophies, 3rd and scottish cup may not give group stage football next season, currently in a relegation battle, no technical director yet, Cormack and the FMB not fit to run a club and pulled the trigger on 4 managers in 4 years. He mentions a lot of success in the club, and i agree that youth wise and community wise, good things do happen. But at the end of the day, i couldn’t really give a fuck. What matters is the club getting results on the pitch.
  3. Ive seen some shite in this thread and somehow this is near the top
  4. Leaving Leven in the position until summer isn’t an option unless we aren’t seriously wanting to be competitive for top 4 next season. The board wanted someone in so that the summer rebuild could be planned ahead of the season ending and the new gaffer could assess what he thinks we would need. It’s not good
  5. https://twitter.com/christopherharv/status/1772749127241159032?s=46&t=eSQ_i5KgDBFOr-02_IURtQ finally we can move on from that nonsense.
  6. Is this from BBC Radio Scotland? They have been joking for weeks about Miller coming back as a coach. It’s just ‘banter’. if not… call me intrigued
  7. True. They sent Stewart Raegan across to get the deal done and they couldn’t match his salary at that time, so they then approached mcleish.
  8. It’s easy to say why. 1) We have an uncertain future. Relegation, although unlikely, is still far from an uncertainty. 2) We have had a report compiled which says we need to adjust our structure and appoint a technical director. Another unknown. 3) The last 4 years have been poor on the Board/Manager front. No manager wants to be sacked in 8 months, especially those who have aims of higher levels. It’s a risk. 4) The board and chairman are an utter basket case. 5) re-build needed. It’s a misconception that managers love a rebuild to put their own stamp on a team. Most successes come from a good core of players and 2-4 additions to strengthen. in addition, if a manager needs to rebuild, they need assurances that the funds are there for fees and wages. 6) The league. It’s a fucking nightmare of a league. The chances of success and trophies is far from a given, to be honest, nearly impossible. The best a manager could hope for is 3rd and europe. But given the coefficient, 3rd doesn’t guarantee europe next year, unless yon czech team get pumped out.
  9. Some people are quite off the mark 😂 Can’t be appointing a manager if he’s not 100% focussed on the task at hand, as that’s not in the interests of either Aberdeen or Northern Ireland. This won’t be happening.
  10. People are reading far too much into his press conference
  11. How can you even be arsed to type that
  12. This feels like news from last week and they are just behind on things.
  13. This is completely different to what i heard from someone who was with Derek Rae and in the directors box at the game against Killie. Report identified managers outside of the UK (Scandi and German) with specific traits.
  14. Thank fuck none of our board live there 👀
