CCB III Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Watched him talk about us, very gracious about it all when he didn't have to be. Stopped listening when he was on about the Huns in the 90's. Back to hating the wee cunt. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 never listen to that shite so anyone that can be bothered to summarise? Link to comment

Effectively says style of play criticisms were a load of shite and most of his teams were good, that we didn’t play long ball with McLean, Christie, Hayes, McGinn, Jack etc. Sort of inferred Cormack, Glass and managers throughout the country are naive and the club shouldn’t have come out with the we’re going to play this way stuff. You can’t keep playing a certain way and doing nothing about it if you’re getting scudded every week. Says he developed players because look at where the ones we lost have gone on to. Says we were unfortunate to be good when Celtic had Rodgers, stopped us winning another trophy. Points out we had 38 points at halfway last season when Hearts had 33 this season, and they are lauded, but he was being slaughtered by our fans while in 3rd, it wasn’t enough anymore. Points out the players we lost through transfers or injury. He identified signings but wasn’t backed, is sure we’d have been 3rd had he got them. Says we were bringing in millions through our consistency and basically look at us now. Signed Flood after watching him run the game against us the game before he became manager, while Doc was down watching Robson. Had various job offers immediately after leaving us but didn’t want them. Applied for Ipswich job but didn’t get it. 1 Link to comment
Dave Bus Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 He’s got a good point about season 20-21. 38 points from 19 is excellent for Aberdeen. Everything just went awful after Watkins, Hedges injured for season and Cosgrove, Wright sold. Left with zero attacking options and wasn’t backed with replacements except 3 rushed loanees on deadline day. Properly backed in January, or if for not such bad injury luck, then the terrible run of form from January onwards could’ve been avoided and things could’ve turned out differently. 2 Link to comment
Quagmire Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Good listen. Speaks well. No drama and holds back on any digs. Admits his time was probably up. Link to comment

Let’s face it, his time was up when DC returned and the likes of Jon Gallagher and Ronnie were foisted upon him. Great initial 4 years, average 2 years and after that, was tatties ower the side.

ericblack4boss Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Aye I listened to it, also said he couldn't bring Kyle Lafferty to Aberdeen but he was a player he has always liked. Link to comment

A lot of people not happy with him even then in terms of his tactics and the way he had us playing. I'm not sure that ever changed. Mind you, offset that against the fact that there's a lot of people on here who do like to moan a lot ? Link to comment
Daisy1903 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Jim Goodwin's post match interview on Sunday said next season we'll be looking at challenging for 3rd, in Cup finals and qualifying for Europe "where we should be". That's where we were and presumably Glass was brought in to go further? Guess our standards have dropped. Link to comment

I think they believed glass could take us to similar but playing watchable football. mcinnes interview was good. He is obviously annoyed at how he is perceived.

Redmist1903 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 It's hard to dislike McInnes. I think he comes across well and still obviously has a high regard for the club. I expected some bitterness and resentment any time he's spoken about the club after being sacked but to be fair he's never really said anything bad about our club. Still seems a decent likeable bloke. I wonder when Glass will put his head above the parapet and do an interview? I'm thinking maybe his severance package stipulates that he can't speak about his time at the club or something? Strange he hasn't done any kind of interview since. 1 Link to comment

It was "training ground Pele" or something like that. Players who were world beaters on the training ground, outstanding to watch, but when you put them out in front of a crowd on a Saturday afternoon they were next to useless.

King Street Loon Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Good interview. For as much as I thought it time for him to go, I absolutely do not think we would be in this position if he was still here. He'd probably have had Ramirez more consistent over the season too.

McInnes gets a lot of heat from a lot of Dons fans but he was a success here and there's no way we ever finish in the bottom 6 with him as manager. That's not to say his time hadn't come to move on 8 years is a long time in modern day football. Replacing McInnes after 8 years was never the issue most accepted it was time for a change. To replace him with a complete novice management team in such an important season was the issue. That's all on Cormack and he needs to make it up to the fans by backing Goodwin to the hilt this summer. Link to comment

New training complex aside, everything Cormack seems to have touched has served to undo the work and atmosphere that was built and created at the club. Id imagine if most employees of the club were asked, it's currently not as happy a place to work now. Link to comment
