However the 2 most recent domestic cup games have been a complete disaster And a lot of our recent cup results under McInnes were awful, look at losing away to St Mirren and then hearts the year before that. Play dumbarton at home in the cup and only winning because of a penalty. Not denying Raith was a complete disaster however Link to comment

Aberdeen could finish 6th 3 seasons in a row under Glass and win 2 cups and he'll be looked on as a more successful manager than McInnes in the history books. Nobody is going to look back at McInnes time in 20 years from now and go "Look at those 2nd place finishes and semi finals". They'll remember the League cup win, of course, but nobody will care that much about the league position unless we're winning the fucking thing, or we've done really badly (i.e. last) To be fair I look back fondly at the Jimmy Calderwood era, beating Rangers on the final day of the season to qualify for Europe, getting to the group stage and last 32. Okay, he didn't win anything, and he let us down with his semi but he got us up the table. People in years to come WILL remember the period of sustained high league positions, and consistent good and decent results Del brought us. If he won 2 cups he wouldn't be any more successful in my view. Link to comment

Crossbow Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 100% correct for McInnes to go. The failure of the new appointment does not excuse the pathetic goalless heartless team of McInnes. Glass brought in early to get a grasp of the problem and making a mess of it does not make removing the architect of the initial mess a mistake. Egotistical and ignorant narcissism aside Colgate made the correct first move just messed up everything else in the prawcess. 5 Link to comment

strachanmcgheegoal Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Because 3rd is our place even when we aren’t and we should know that, ignoring any unjustified criticism however, em, justified in the process. Oh and Rangers hampden semi. Surely that counts for something, and please ignore Kenny Miller and Jason fucking Holt taking the piss in our home games because that was apparently a one off and not indicative in any way of the attitude in the club, we just didn’t like to speak about it. Something like that? Link to comment

Wow, looks even worse, if that can be, when displayed like that. Have been greatly troubled since day one with the appointment. Not so much with Stephen Glass but with Dave Cormack and his feckin' "prawcess", which was total bullshit then and can be most definitely seen as total bullshit now. It is 99% certain that after the next 3 games Cormack will have boxed himself into a corner with Glass's appointment and will find it really difficult to restore any faith in his overall stewardship of the Dons going forwards, unless he has really done his homework and has a really top notch replacement manager ready to be appointed. However I fear that his egotistic, "I am always right" attitude may get in the way and prevent him from a prompt decision that is clearly required. Link to comment

RED_JOHN Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Next time he wants to hire a manager he should get a shortlist of around half a dozen….put it to a ballet and let the fans decide (probably would need to be season ticket holders). Then if it is a disaster he can blame them and give the fans endless abuse on social media. But if it works it will be a complete master stroke from the visionary chairman. i am pretty sure if it was down to six candidates when Glass got the job I would imagine he wouldn’t have been the fan’s choice.

G31DON Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 There good news and bad news re Glass. Good news is he's getting the sack after these tricky games are out the way. Bad news is, DC is appointing himself manager until the end of the season. Link to comment
