No disrespect to Tommy (we got £100k in the late 60s for him), but we cannot have Sally being sacked.
Sally must stay as I'm concerned that his departure might bankrupt Sevco.
Also, don't think I can do without his comedy value.

Will they?

There will be a hefty compensation fee which I can't see them pay.

In any case Del strikes me as a sensible chap. Until that club is stabilised under new permanent ownership it would be a massive gamble to leave a job to take that one.

Might suit Stuart McCall though.

I know its not real mannies football but Wenger is well past his "shelf life" at Arsenal.

Not sure that they would sack him but they are stagnant at best and in need of freshening up.

I know some Liverpool fans are not happy with Rogers this season but he has definitely moved Liverpool forward.

Wenger hasn't moved Arsenal forward since the days of playing at Highbury.

Unless they have the negatives and can force his hand, Salary won't go.

As Mr C Young said on Sportsound before the game, if Salary went then Durrant and others would follow. It wouldn't only be McCoist they had to pay off.

There's no way they can afford it, being as they don't even have enough cash to keep the lights on for another month.

Ashley to be outright owner of Ibrox by February, one way or another (depending on who actually owns it just now, of course). He must be pretty high up on the list of preferred creditors by now. His few million is increasingly looking like a good investment - just not in the way the Orcs may have hoped.

To sack him you need someone in charge to actually make the decision. Doesn't look like anyone is actually in charge there. Plus nobody knows just how long these guys are planning on sticking around. Ashley might seem to have clout at the moment but again, is he there long term, what does he want from the club?

McCoist will feel loyalty to them but anyone in their right mind would realise that it's not good for the club. He can't be that thick and I don't think he is. I also doubt it's about the money, he's a wealthy man as it is. I think there is another reason he's sticking around just now for that we will find out soon enough.

I'm sure I heard yesterday that he was on a rolling deal so they are f*cked either way

milne_afc
23-11-2014, 04:42 PM
Rolling contract according to the Hun sites, with full pay reinstated on promotion to premiership.
Deferred wages also payable on contract termination according to some, but how anyone would know that I'm not sure. It's a lovely thought all the same.

naetaebashersallowed
23-11-2014, 04:43 PM
As stated above, he's on a one year rolling deal apparently but they also need to pay back the deferred salary for when he took a pay reduction earlier on this year from £800,000 to £400,000, at least £1,000,000 plus any bonuses, etc.

Unless the filthy masses stop going altogether and we get back to Partick 1979 level of 1,800 attendances then McCoist will probably stay as their board can't afford to bin him.

"The next part" you mean when you call Liverpool fans "murderers", what a load of complete b.s.

No i am an Aberdeen fan only. No second team from miles and miles away bollox here.

Are you a touchy Liverpool fan? Sounds it.

What is the purpose of steaming fans? To take their end. What does that include hurting people if they are in the way. It was a premeditated deliberate act of violence with the intention to cause harm toward an opposing group of human beings. Premeditated and people died. If they werent morons in the first place the wall wouldnt have collapsed as the Juve fans ran for safety. Scumbags plain and simple, Who are still known to be scumbags to this day. Jumping turnstiles over crowing their end at away games for example. Irony? Looting is still commonplace too. My uncle was a copper in London. He has told me on a few occasions when he did the football Liverpool were the worst. Flare into the main stand (near to where me and my bro were sitting) at Pittodrie remember that, The two arrested were scousers. Liverpool FC say they were not fans of their club. Aye f@cki

This is my final word on the matter too, i support 2 teams, Aberdeen & Aberdeen u20s.
Would i have to be a Liverpool fan to object to the word "murderers" ?

Of course back then, the scallies were bad ,but no worse than the bigger London clubs,Leeds ,Manu or any other big club.
Did i like Liverpool when i was younger yes, do i give a monkeys nowadays nope.


Heysel was tragic as was Hillsborough , but do you think the outcomes would have been different if another similiar size club had been involved ?

Keeping on the whole entrapment thing, i cant believe anyone is actually saying its was morally wrong. When he got the job i was astounded that this crook could become the highest paid international manager in the world. He was on a documentary about being a f@cking crook yet still got the job.

So the Telegraph have obviously had the same opinion as me and went and proved it, very successfully. The have proved that a leopard never changes its spots and he should not have been in the job. Well done them i say

According to the telegraph there are plenty more agents and managers involved and have been videoed. I don't see why entrapment is frowned upon either. At the end of the day, the guy is a crook and has been shown to be a crook. If he had turned around and said he wanted nothing to do with it, he would be commended, so rightly he should be condemned when the opposite occurs. Never like the man and he deserved what he got.

This Club isn't cannon fodder than can afford to only turn up to home games. We can't just attack and hope that, because our defence isn't good enough, we'll win every other game.

McGhee is finished now, finally, and its all his own fault.

This is worth a read again.....



MARK McGhee, as he contemplates the isolation of unemployment, is at the same time practising his German just in case Deutschland should have need of his coaching skills.

But his views on the city of Aberdeen – not to mention the chairman of its football club and its players and fans – could never be misinterpreted in any language. You won’t find them in the local tourist board brochure, that’s for sure.

Here’s a taster: “I’m sitting here not because I’m a bad manager but because I made a bad decision. I will never, unless it’s in a professional capacity, look in the direction of Aberdeen again. Any association I had with them ended the day I walked out.”

Let’s go back a couple of hours to source such vitriol. McGhee has promised to pick me up at Brighton station. In the event, there’s a change of plan and he instructs me to meet him outside a *** shop. Wearing designer sunglasses, he arrives on foot. Is he formatting revenge of some kind?

After all, I was highly critical of his stewardship of Moth, so I’m surprised he has agreed to this interview. I tell him he has my admiration for this alone. His reply is almost insulting. “First of all, I never saw it [the article]. But I wouldn’t have been interested. Whatever you wrote and whatever you were saying, you were probably wrong anyway. Seriously.”

The temptation is to ignore the arrogance and examine the reasons behind the remark. Now, McGhee presents himself as the kind of guy who wouldn’t squeal even if you applied hobnail boots to his backside. But surely there’s vulnerability somewhere?

Anyway, the sparring has begun in earnest as we sip morning coffee in the trendy Lanes district. I tell him I always endeavour to be objective. This brings a slight concession. He asks me to recall the gist of my article.

Where should I begin? I had suggested he was the pariah of Pittodrie and claimed he was aloof and showed no interest in the players. It was claimed that his assistant, Scott Leitch, was a bully. And Sone Aluko, allegedly, had suffered rough justice. Where was I wrong? “So you wrote that without speaking to me? It’s all nonsense,” McGhee says. “I had Sone’s mother up from London, sat her down and went through the whole thing.

“Listen, he f***** off to Nigeria [ahead of the Under-20 World Cup] without even telling the club when we were at a crucial part of the season. So, as a board, we sat down and decided we’d get him back. Sone Aluko and I have no issues. In fact, I recently tried to help him get to Sheffield Wednesday. It’s a f****** scandal!”

I’m not quite sure what is scandalising McGhee at this moment. But let’s return to the fact that he’s here in the first place. He doesn’t appear to be a bearer of grudges. “Friends have said to me that I should remember for longer, but it’s just not in me. Maybe it’s a weakness and other people can use that to their advantage, if you like. But I just don’t think that way. I move on quickly.”

Has he succeeded in moving on from his most recent setback? McGhee points out that he doesn’t really want to talk about Aberdeen and you can understand that reluctance. Who would want to be reminded of unmitigated disaster? He replaced the popular Jimmy Calderwood in June of 2009, and was gone by early December the following year, having won only 17 games out of 62. But, hey, it would be like talking to Liam Fox and failing to raise the subject of travelling companions. Inevitably, then, we return to the dissonant theme of Pittodrie. And, in spite of what he says about not holding grudges, you can smell the resentment.

PURSUING the maxim that leadership comes from the top, let’s begin with Stewart Milne. Can McGhee talk about the chairman’s role at the club? Sure he can. His eyes look for the heavens. “Within the club, there is no strong influence: nobody whose character is strong enough to preside over everybody. I think, in many ways, it does have to come from the chairman. I have to say to him that he has to be seen around the football club.

“Stewart is down there a couple of times a week at boardroom meetings. He gets into his car and goes. He never walks through the offices or asks people how they’re doing. Within the club, he has to be the influence. He’s the man. Maybe he just underestimates that. Maybe he doesn’t understand that.”

The hitherto invulnerable 54-year-old is now betraying his vulnerability. “I wasn’t comfortable [at Aberdeen]. Five minutes after I was at Motherwell, I had Betty, the secretary, being like a mum to me. I had people looking after me and out for me.

“John Boyle introduced me to his friends in Glasgow, who were then making sure I had the right place to live. I was invited round [to their houses] because they knew my partner Maria was doon the road [in Brighton]. I was just made to feel instantly welcome and accepted. You felt that everybody there wanted to make you the best you could be; they wanted you to succeed.

“I didn’t feel that at Aberdeen. In fact, from a players’ point of view, there was some sort of resentment towards me, a resentment I didn’t understand. I imagined I was coming home, but it wasn’t like that at all. I needed to jazz the place up: it needed two million volts. The girl on the desk couldnae look me in the eye: there were wee cliques. It needed to change.”

McGhee offered ideas for change, but Milne allegedly ignored them. Surely, his European Cup-Winners’ Cup medal gave him some currency with the fans? “The new generation of Aberdeen supporters couldn’t give a monkey’s about Mark McGhee and the Gothenburg Greats. I could have been somebody they’d never heard of walking in the door. The past was of no relevance whatsoever.

“It made me feel very isolated. For the first time in my career, I felt it was me, Scott Leitch and Colin Meldrum against the world. There was absolutely no empathy, whereas at Motherwell, they were falling over themselves to be nice.

“When my baby Archie was born, they were all bringing in presents. I go back there now and they all want to see pictures of him. I go to Millwall and the new chairman seeks me out. I go to Brighton [another club he managed]. I’ve got a relationship with these people. But none at Aberdeen.”

Let’s return to the players. McGhee, you suspect, would love to talk in specifics about guys he believes have been at Pittodrie too long. Instead, he generalises. “At Motherwell they embraced 4-3-3 and all the other things I wanted to do with them. I went to Aberdeen and it was like talking a foreign language. There was non-cooperation in terms of getting a system going, and the training was, well… ‘training on a Sunday? We don’t train on Sundays’.”

What about the allegations of bullying? “Don’t get me wrong: there were times when I had to reel in Leitchy because he’s one of those boys who gets emotional and angry. It was in danger of spilling over into something that couldnae be. But it was about them, not Leitchy. We got feedback that they were going to the sponsors with stories. But, f*** sake, Fergie [Sir Alex Ferguson] used to throw things at us. These charges are embarrassing.”

McGHEE’s sigh comes from deep in the diaphragm. “You get people who enthuse a room. You know them and catch their enthusiasm. Coisty [Ally McCoist] is one. Then you get other people who suck the life out of a room. Aberdeen is full of people who are drainers. Until it’s cleared out and there’s a freshness about it, it’s not going to get any better. And no-one, not even Craig Brown, who’s a good manager, can do anything until they change that.”

But didn’t McGhee know all there was to know about Aberdeen before he joined? Surely he did his homework? He looks embarrassed here. “If I made a mistake, [it was that] I never dealt with Stewart Milne up until the point I was at the club. Remember, this was a club I held dear to my heart and because of my trust, I thought they held me dear. I thought I didn’t need to do the due diligence.

“I thought I’d go up there and sweep them away. So I didn’t go into either the implications of the exact state of affairs and how good or bad the squad actually was. So, yeah, I should have thought twice before taking the job. But there you go: you live and learn.”

Today, Aberdeen visit Celtic. McGhee took his Aberdeen to Parkhead almost a year ago and they were slaughtered 9-0. You imagine the horror of it is still being distilled in his head. But it has not put him off working again.

“I’ve been brushing up my German a bit, trying to stay modern. The engine is still running. The other week I was at seven games in eight days, looking at what’s new, until such times as somebody decides to take a punt with Mark McGhee again. My feet didn’t touch the ground when I left Pittodrie. But I wasn’t in mourning or anything. I would have applied for a job the day after I left had the right one been available.”

I would assume he is finished but actually he's still in a job with Scotland. That sums up the national set up.

McGhee being linked with the Kilmarnock post today

Do these clubs never learn? I've no doubt at all that he will pop up at a lower league English club or a bottom 6 SPL club, but it just defies belief how guys of his ilk stagger from post to post

I mean, a quick gander at his wikipedia page would tell any prospective employers that he's damaged goods

Would have been Warburton (Magic Hat) to replace him, but that would weaken his position against "der hun".

When I saw their 5-1 pumping the other night I shiver went down my spine.

But in the cold light of day I thought they've have had Scots in Lambert and Neil, who both did well initially.

As weak an argument as it is, I don't think they'll look to Scotland again so I reckon Derek won't be considered.

They are both in a lower division when it comes to that. Souness was the king of making a career out of pay-offs from being sacked.
