Guest Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I get why folk are raging. He wouldn't have been my choice, and it doesn't seem like a great "process" was followed. However, there's absolutely no sense in going mental until he's had a good crack at the job. There's nothing any of us can do about it, so we should just wait and see what happens. As with all managerial appointments, they are either a stroke of genius, or an abomination. Let's just hold tight and see what the summer brings. Link to comment
Lencarl Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Glad Aberdeen went foreign for the new Manager. Keep it going and sign his co-manager from anywhere apart from Scotland. You know it makes sense. Link to comment
Singapore Steve Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Does this mean we will now have Scott Brown in midfield next season ? Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Glass is the only one announced so far? Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Brown has been playing almost as a sweeper recently when Celtic have the ball. The two centre backs split and he sits in the middle. Link to comment

Just needed to add on the end of that “and he was free” 1 Link to comment

fine-n-dandy Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Cannot say I’m impressed but guess (equally) I cannot say I am confident this will be a massive failure. It’s a totally unknown/type experiment it seems from outside looking in but maybe they know a lot more than we do &it isn’t just blind faith/hope in a mate/puppet on the cheap option. I am certainly underwhelmed but will give it a chance. Will take me a bit of time to accept Brown (if that will be the case) though. Results will have to be VERY impressive for me to begin to accept that cunt. The fact that he is rumoured just because he is a ‘good mate’ of the manager is the first fkn negative for a start. Outwith the fact he’s a cunt Link to comment

The concern for me isn't Glass being the manager per se, it is that Cormack clearly had him eyed up long before DM got the bullet and there are clearly some things going on between us and Atlanta that we aren't being made aware of. I will get right behind SG, but DC is bullshitter of the highest order. Everyone raging that the new chairman isn't behaving the way the last chairman, who everyone hated, did. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Worry is we have just put all our faith in a Cathro/Hearts type experiment ? it works. All on Cormack if it’s a failure. He will be done at Aberdeen if so Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Obviously big pals judging by the multiple photos of Cormack and Glass with their arms round each other's shoulders on Dave's social media. Looks like they holiday together as well judging by some of them. The two of them must have been plotting this for some time. Here's hoping it pays off. You'd expect him to back his man financially if they're so close. Link to comment

Wester Hailes Skins Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 My tuppence. Tough. You're getting it. It seems an almost uniquely Scottish thing that managers MUST have a connection to the club, to the detriment of the cv or ability. We have a manager chased out of Milton Keynes and not missed by Utd fans. But falls up the way to Hearts cos he used to play for us. Same at work here. Glass has a very modest cv that should see him nowhere near a club the size of Aberdeen. Maybe assistant manager. But the manager? Can't even see him controlling a dressing room. Seems too nice a wee guy. 5 Link to comment
sheepcrooky Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 All the very best Stephen. Remember being at Hampden when you won your bike. Give us what we want and you will have superb backing. Link to comment
Crashnyploshnit Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Not my dream choice as I wanted Maloney but hey ho we’ve got Glass and need to at least get behind this project and see where it goes. Link to comment

This is experimental after all, cannot convince anyone of otherwise really. If Glass is as committed to ‘the cause’ as they make out.

All on Cormack if it’s a failure. He will be done at Aberdeen if so Cathro is one of the highest rated coaches in Europe. Believe it or not. He's not on the bench at Wolves for nothing. And loved by Benitez too. But he's not a club manager. We gave him the wrong role. But he's light years ahead of Glass. An assistant manager in the NFL. Don't mix the two. 1 2 Link to comment
