Sad to hear this really and I wish the man no ill in the world but even when he was announcing this he still managed a dig at us.
"I got sacked for a couple of things I don't think I should have got sacked for. Aberdeen was the hardest one. We got back into Europe and the chairman decided to make a change. That still annoys me."

Great minds think alike and all that lol.
Hmm....maybe not the most tactful thing for me to say given the subject of this thread xD

Wish him no ill. Terrible illness. Gave us a bit of respectability back on the pitch. Touted himself shamelessly for other jobs whilst at Aberdeen. Exceeded his shelf life and just like the Murphys he's not bitter.

...another casualty of heading the ball? I do wonder if eventually there will be fouls for balls over head height....

More likely a victim of mass medication.
Fluoride in the water is causing this.
I wouldn't have wished this on him but he's still an arsehole who should never have got anywhere near being manager of Aberdeen

All the best for your journey Jimmy. Gave AFC some respectability in the early part of his tenure.

I'm not going to be a hypocrite about this, I came to thoroughly dislike the guy. But hearing that diagnosis has to be unimaginably tough. He certainly didn't deserve that.

Sorry to hear of this. One of my favourite Aberdeen managers. Dragged the club out of the doldrums and made it a wee bit respectable again.
This might explain why he has been out of circulation for a while. 'Hingmy' 'Sloppy' and 'Wee Naisy' are typical phrases that spring to mind.

Poor guy and really no need for some of you to still stick the boot in.

^^^^ You for real mate? The irony of you calling another human an arsehole is brilliant. What a miserable old c*nt you are.
As niceonesimmy said, he brought back a bit of respectability and some good times, all the best Jimmy.

To be honest, comments about his merits (or otherwise) as manager aren't needed or relevant.
The bloke has a disease that will only deteriorate.. and he's only 62.
Wouldn't wish Alzheimer's on anyone.

My father suffers from this terrible illness and he is only 62:as well. We have watched him rapidly decline in a short space of time and it is heartbreaking to watch.
Good luck JC, stay strong..
