Dick Pullar Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Agree with some of what you say but not it all. I’m being brutally honest not harsh. I can’t prove it but I told everyone at start of Glass’s appointment he would fail immediately and I have been proved right. He was brought in as Cormack’s poodle to do exactly as he was told. If I heard the story once from Glass’s lips that he managed a £20 million player in Atlanta, I must have heard it a hundred times. This is what Cormack really wants. MONEY. He wants Glass to take local loons that cost nothing and sell them on for millions. Look at the stadium plans. Wants the Council tax payer to pay for a new stadium so he doesn’t have to. And what about shifting the game KO today to 6pm? All to make money from Americans. Doesn’t give a shit for the Aberdonians. I was going to go to that game today until Cormack changed the KO time. Cormack and Glass are American interlopers. They should go back to the US. Bring in Davie Robertson, there’s a true Aberdonian that would kick some ass. 1 Link to comment

People are frustrated though, how else do they convey it? Entitled to sing what they like, within reasons, as ticket paying and travelling fans. That particular chat doesn't really do anyone any good, though. I agree. Did you sit with your arms folded when CR9 scored? Wasn’t there. Watched on redtv as I’m out the country. I thought we might kick on when he scored but we never. He was murder after he scored too ? Link to comment

You don't have a decent career in football like he did, by being a wimp. The reality is Dave Cormack offered his mate a job he wasn't qualified for, because he thought he saw something in him. Glass, like everyone else would, seen an incredible opportunity to start a potential career in management, and took it. As any sane person would do. Knowing his inexperience, Cormack should've insisted SG hire at least one experienced coach. Clearly he didn't, as we have a coaching staff of rank amateurs. The reality is, Cormack has fucked it. The time to get a top quality, decent named manager in was during the summer, after McInnes left, the club was in a good position- but it had went stale. Now, we very much could be in a relegation scrap, and look like a sinking ship. Much harder to attract any semi decent appointment when the club is a bit of a circus. Who'd want to work for Cormack? Thought Alan Campbell was an experienced top coach? Link to comment

Singing “sacked in the morning” is out of order. Proper window licker support. Dave Cormack's inaction has made this sort of "window licker support" action necessary. It should never have been allowed to get to this stage. The fans have been more patient than any manager is entitled to. Edit just noticed it was the Dundee fans. I hope the true AFC fans made their displeasure known. 1 Link to comment

Not involved were Lewis, McCrorie, Devlin, Campbell, McLennan, Kennedy, Longstaff. Who the fuck sanctioned having such a big squad, ridiculous incompetence which seems to be endemic in all aspects of the club right now. A bloated incompetent squad of very average players on decent wages We need a midfield cull. Send home the loan players their utter shite Pay off the likes of Ojo and Devlin just get rid of them Rather have a smaller squad of decent well played players than a large squad of dross on high wages who are simply bench fillers Whats the head of recruitment doing these days I hope he is working out a plan to get rid of the underachieving Link to comment

BonnieDon Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Hayes, McGinn and Ojo are officially done with Aberdeen imo. Unbelievably poor. I can't believe we paid fee for Ojo. On another note, most likely mentioned elsewhere but teams just seem to score with virtual every shot on target against us. Our defence is utterly appalling. Individual calamities everywhere. The last time I felt this disappointed with Aberdeen was under McGhee. A lot similarities currently with that time period. Irrespective of what your thoughts are on McInnes, I don't think it's any coincidence that since the moment Cormack arrived at the club our league position has dropped lower and lower. We were a much more attractive proposition when McInnes initially departed and now I imagine potential candidates will think twice about joining us. Link to comment
red kelly Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 a new manager in after the inevitable sevco humping would be the way to go . as for a hun type manager, am ok with one with a massive chip on his shoulder about the new club. in other words an other angry sir alex type will do fine. ah what am i sayin, ,just join the highland league Link to comment

Let's pretend Aberdeen are sitting 4th bottom having lost 17 games out of a total of 9 played. Except we are awarded 51.5 points per for a win while everyone else gets just 3. We would currently be sitting on 105 points, that would be a record points haul despite having 27 games left to play. Sounds like a lot of pish? Yeah but you started it.

Tzvetanovs hair Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 It all reminds me of when we had Paul Hartley dragging us through games to scrappy wins. Unfortunately, we don't have Hartley picking up goals for us and we have Brown trying to manage a shambolic defense while trying to direct play forward - mainly failing as we struggle to even have shots at goal. There's an 11 in that squad somewhere. Other than Ramsay having a go, they all look shot confidence wise. Would like change to happen early doors next week but won't be surprised if there is nothing coming from Cormack any time soon. Link to comment

He's the worst managerial appointment in the club's history. Fun fact; He was a teammate of my old mans at Crombie sports. That's where he met my mother, as my Grandfather was a club volunteer, and he brought my Mum to a raffle night, and the rest, as they say, is history. Even then my old man thinks he should get punted. I think he might well be the worst appointment we've ever made, on paper as well. Having said that, I don't hate him like I hated McGhee. I just feel sorry for him. Truly. We'd all have said yes in his position, the blame doesn't lie at his feet. We all knew the credentials were patchy and it was as clearly nepotistic appointment, I think we were all so relieved for change though that we were willing to look it over and give him a chance. DC needs to do the difficult thing now though and cut the cord. Our next 6 fixtures really could leave us in the mire. Link to comment
