Jimmy Thelin

[Shetland Don]

Very much this and think its important to have scottish experience in backroom for wee bit longer yet.
Seemed to be Larne guy who was the rumoured front runner so maybe won't come off. If he does want to be the main man suppose its just a matter of time as his stock is certainly high. Can't begrudge him the opportunity.

But thought we took Warnock in because Leven didnt want to be top man? Was certainly narrative at the time.
Fair enough if hes had a change of mind. Lot for him to weigh up as think they are a bit of a basket case the now.

The current players seem to hold him in high regard. His period in charge and the recent run with him as coach have yielded great results. That may not be coincidental, though he was also involved in the previous set ups.

Robson took him in as a coach and he had a decent reputation when he joined.

I don't think any of us wanted him as interim manager, but I think he won most of us over.

He took a squad of players who were really struggling and turned it around immediately. It was like night and day compared to what happened previously.

The cup semi at Hampden was one of the best games I have ever been at and I don't think we would have come back from behind twice in that game, if Robson or Warnock had been our manager.

Be good if he hung around a bit longer.

Leven's stats as (interim) Boss are impressive! However, not dismissing the cup semi v the green filth, ... nor his first interim job v same stench where he secured an unexpected league point, the bulk of his portfolio is against bottom six sides. Nevertheless, that 4-0 v Hibs, followed by 5-1 v Livi still raise a smile.

Altogether, I reckon he laid down his marker as a very capable Scottish club manager, He has earned my respect and admiration enough to hope he stays on with the famous .... but can understand if he needs to move on in order to move on up ... in which case I wish him nearly all the best. The 'nearly' will be plainly understood

I watched that semi on TV - Hoilett’s contribution too was immense for us in that game, as I recall.

Just looking at the stats there.

Jimmy has won more games than Stephen Glass (9 wins from 29 games), Jim Goodwin (11 from 35), Alex F*ckin' Miller (10 from 38) and just one fewer than Mark McGhee (13 from 53)

*splutter*

Unrealistic expectations, msm, eh?

[Don Julio]

Gonnae no mention Alex Miller! Jist gonnae no.

Need a lie down now.

[PittodriePile]

Exactly this! Something (no idea what) tells me he won't need as long some suspect he might to get things going in the right direction.

Just going to circle back to this one

"WOLVES are tracking a man who is being dubbed “a modern day Sir Alex Ferguson”.

The Premier League club are considering making a move for Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin, who has stunned Scottish football with the start he’s made at Pittodrie"

The currant Bun.

I read that yesterday. The cynic in me thinks it may be because we play a game in Glasgow next weekend.

Some things never change.

Yes. That's probably a good reason for it.

It’s going to be a matter of time if he continues to perform as he has done to date, unfortunately. I truly believe that he’ll manage in the English top flight in his next job, whenever that is. Let’s enjoy him as our Manager till then.

[swaddon2]

They're touting him as a manager of a club who still has one. Just daft paper talk from a daft paper. Jimmy is going nowhere.

Hopefully we’ll keep the Wolves from our door.

Let's hope he's not a wolf in sheep's clothing.
