RUL Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 1 hour ago, Betty Swallicks said: Surely taking over from Milne then binning McInnes and Kingsford, investing a fair bit of dough in tarting up Pittodrie and some serious donating to AFCCT buys him a fair bit of time? If Milne was still at the helm we'd be in serious shite just now. If McInnes as in charge the season ahead would seem another chore to endure. The thing is Cormack believes glass will do a good job but he will be gone if Cormack doesn't think its working. Link to comment

Cormack gets credit for raising finance for the new training ground and having the balls to realise the McInnes era was well and truly over. Recent noises about wanting to pursue a new stadium at the beach is a good sign too. His blatant lies about the new manager recruitment process proves he's worth the watching though. Nae convinced about the Gunn appointment either, that's a big job for someone who needs to know what they're doing. Effectively running the club in Dave's absence. Link to comment

How do you know he was telling lies about the new manager? Yes I agree on the outside it seems blatant and obvious that Glass was always going to be the man. But that selection 'may' have been in jeopardy if an outstanding managerial appointment put himself forward. I'm guessing that didn't happen and he backed his horse. Hopefully he'll have the balls to pull the trigger if it's not working, which I think he will have. Gunn, I don't think anyone knows enough about him to know if he's capable or not of doing the job. But you've no idea if he knows what he's doing or not. Again he'll be judged on this head of recruitment appointment, transfers etc. But he's hardly running the club I would think. He may be based in Atlanta, but the world is a small place now and unless he's on his death bed the big decisions will be made by Cormack. Link to comment

And they're a much bigger club than us, like it or not Rumours are that its not so much down to Gerrard, but Michael Beale that's responsible for the turnaround at SevCo. Of course, you can give credit to Gerrard for getting him in, but the succession of rookie managers prior to last season at Sevco where they won their first trophy and were knocked out of both cups early would indicate that its not an easy route to progress with. Also add in the is Gerrards 4th season with SevCo and they won nothing in the first two seasons despite the greater budget he has Link to comment

It was only 18 months he had at Brentford and it was announced in Feb 2015 (15 months into the role) that he would leave at the end of the season since as a result of vetoing signings and FFP transfer embargo. So his successful 18 month stint came to an end because they failed to get promotion despite the financial advantage they had and therefore were forced to sell players as a result of not getting promoted. Doesn't appear to be a wealth of experience there. You must accept Murty given you dropped him of my post. Link to comment

Warburton was a manager in his own right before coming to the Huns so can't be described as a rookie. Doesn't matter how well or shite he performed. The term rookie generally suggests its someone's first proper job. Big difference between being the appointed manager and being the stand in caretaker. Or managing a youth or b team. Link to comment

Tord31 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 That's Mykyta and Hanratty season loans to Formartine confirmed. When Glass said a few weeks back that he'd been very impressed by one or two youngsters in pre season and expected there to be more debuts sooner rather than later I guessed he was meaning Hanratty. He was probably speaking out of his hoop but otherwise I've no idea who he is on about now. Mostly no hopers and lads who have only just left school this summer leftover who are yet to debut.
