The players were gutted when he left, that and his interaction with a fan such as yourself after he's left the job, speaks volumes about the man. Sure he'll be back coaching at a good level before too long. Good luck to him! Link to comment

Helmet Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 The Glass appointment was a disaster but somehow I can't really hold it against him. He was in above his depth and didn't have good support in his coaching team imo. Plus the scouting want in place. It's on Cormack really. Link to comment
Dave Bus Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Hacken 5-1 was one of the best dons games I’ve seen in recent years. Far and away the best glass memory, was the most excited about a dons team ever after that performance, genuinely thought we were onto something. Link to comment
Dave Bus Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 He was in over his head but I like that he recognised and fully accepted that if results were poor and objectives failed that he wouldn’t be the manager anymore - was gracious. Do think he was thoroughly fucked over by refereeing decisions in his time as well to be fair to him, but aye was never going to work. Link to comment

The modern game is a brutal place and 'nice guys' get eaten up alive, especially in management, when you're dealing with pampered, entitled, overpaid prima donnas. I think he may still make a good coach / assistant one day, like Eric Black did. 1 Link to comment
huncunts Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 He came across as a dweeb rather than a nice guy for all the time that we were shite, he was always shifting blame to the players. Rather than explaining how he ever pieced together Declan Gallagher, Scott Brown and Jet to be a functioning football team. 1 Link to comment
JamieMT Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 As the saying goes, you piss with the cock you've got. Recruitment killed Glass, but in his defence Goodwin got no better out of the same players and while i appreciate last summers recruits were Glass signings, he didn't have the benefit of a DoF or HoR in place to assist him. And let's not forget there were plenty on here giddy over Gallagher, Brown & JET at the time. Stephen Glass, 12 months down the line could be an entirely different proposition. Link to comment

Haha aye but we fall into that trap every year Well , under mcinnes at least when we were in Europe I was so confident after that particular match I bet 3 of my celtic supporting pals that we would win the league JET in particular looked like peak Zerouali 1 Link to comment

The two of them combined well. Then he started playing him wide, or standing about on the half way line miles away from Ramirez, and he looked like the fat puddin that he was. Link to comment
Broken_Glass Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Idiotic appointment from the off. Not a manager and he didn't disappoint with his lack of dignity and class. Should have walked away after the Dundee at Dens "performance" and I use that word extremely loosely however he chose to stay, drag Aberdeen down and take a wage. Good riddance - however good luck should he get back into football. Link to comment

I don't rate him and thought he was an absolutely abhorrent appointment and he thereafter proceeded to prove my fears correct with his car crash tenure. Not sure I would wish someone good luck if I "hated" him. Link to comment
BaaBaaRedSheep Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Another option at the time could have been "punt him to Memphis 901" who reckon that he is "world class" FFS. Quote of the day, week and year all rolled up. Link to comment
