    Should be a difficult position to fill at such short notice.
    Assuming the owner didn't see this coming so quickly, a short list may not even be drawn up. I do hope it doesn't drag on till February as per our normal historical searching. I'll accept a manager that still manages to bring down our average age...🤣

    Having reread my post I have to apologise for my appalling spelling error. It should have read ?Know? and not ?No.? This from a retired PE/ English teacher. Must have been a senior moment!

    Any manager for me who plays on the front foot and still plays for the win like yesterday.

    No more yawn yawn boring CC type football. That Liverpool coach seems a good option if he can tap into bringing some useful loans ie Koumas.

    There is no doubt that CC turned our club around and we have to be eternally grateful for that. However, latterly I do think that he was too cautious in his approach. I am sorry that he has gone but we now have to look to the future and to appoint the right man for the job. Having stated that I did not KNOW very much about Heitinga I have read up a little about him and he appears to have the correct approach and is not one of the merry go round managers. My only concern is that he has been working with high quality players and how he would cope with players of lesser ability. Perhaps that is being a little pessimistic on my part.

    It’s a really difficult one, the likes of Carlos Corboran come along rarely. I don’t really want another merry go round manager; Russell Martin, Luke Williams, Wayne Rooney, Uncle Tom Cobley, no thanks. John Heitinga from Liverpool sounds interesting but following yesterday’s performance, I would give Chris Brunt and his team a few more matches. If they continue to deliver those sort of displays, then why not, there’s no real rush? The only other name that comes to my mind is that of our former captain, Derek McInnes but that would have a large degree of sentiment involved and he hasn’t exactly lit the managerial world alight. At least it’s something for me ponder over at the moment!

    He will relish trying to get Furlong to pass to his own players plus getting our Jed to narrow the barn door target - that?s the oppositions barn door and not our own as seen in the last minute yesterday 😂

    As usual a parade of names !
    The Heitinga speculation looks interesting-however following the Blades performance, Brunty looks a safe pair of hands at the moment, so let?s not rush !

    I read somewhere Dubbs they had a list of 19 names which is now a shortlist. I think the media rarely have a clue till it gets close to an appointment. How many times has someone never mentioned took over a club. Lots of times, because early on its all guesswork.
