I'm not overly familiar with football set ups and the like, but in theory, would you not need a technical director in place before picking a manager?
Just thinking of the scenario you get the manager first then appointment a technical director, who then doesn't rate the manager.
That is me assuming a TD would look after the actual football side of things.
F*cked if I ken.
If the rumours are true that Dave Cormack has been wanting Steve Clarke to be our manager for a while then he would be as well prolonging the appointment for a bit longer because Clarkes not going to last much longer as the Scotland manager.
Club said they were going to be making the next gaffer appointment during the international break.
So look on he bright side of things we now only have two more days to wait and finally all the speculation will be over.
Yes we all know how this is going to go don't we, complete inaction from the FMB and then another update statement on Thursday morning confirming huuuuuuuuuge progress has been made but that Leven will remain in charge for the six-pointer against Ross (followed by a similar statement a week later confirming he is also in charge against Livi, but that, cross my heart hope to die, we are really really really pinkie promise closing in on a new manager.
We really are the definition of complete and utter useless ineptitude
Then we'll get the news that Leven will be given the job until the end of the season, but we really, definitely, cross my heart and hope to die will get a new manager in the summer.
Then Leven will be handed a three-year deal and be fired next year as we struggle to get out of the Championship.
Great appointing Craig Levein.
Will make aberdeen even more boring to watch and one to avoid in any coupon.
