Next manager?

[don_in]

This is my theory behind us hiring a decent manager from now on….he can’t be younger than me. It is probably brinkering on ageism but I can’t be the only one who thinks like this? Young uns…not to be trusted!

Late seventies is a bit auld for a manager surely?

I’d imagine there’ll be no hurry to get someone in until after the new ceo is in and decides what’s happening, Hopefully hell no be keen on the idea of a football monitoring board either, especially one with Milne on it.

Latest statement from Cormack just about says exactly this.

Latest statement from Cormack just about says exactly this.

We only have 4 matches in the next 6 weeks so I would imagine that is the sort of timeframe they are looking at, then get someone in for the final 9 matches, to finish as high as we can in the league and to assess the squad in time for the next transfer window given we are going to lose 8 players on loan plus another 6 players who are out of contract

Latest club statement.. Much ado about nothing.


The chairman has provided the following update for supporters on the recruitment of a new manager:
“Aberdeen FC’s recruitment for a new manager is progressing with potential candidates being considered against the detailed criteria and philosophy the Club has set out.
“There has been a high level of interest as well as some unfounded speculation. It is ***** that we carry out the necessary diligence in drawing up a short-list before embarking on any serious talks or interviews.
“Alan Burrows, who starts as chief executive on 27th February, will be involved in the next steps. It’s important that we take our time and be patient.
“In the meantime, Barry Robson, supported by Steve Agnew and Scott Anderson, will continue to lead the first team and they are wholly focused on preparations for Saturday’s match.”

Aye right enough I just assumed it said Sh1te. As in the Sh1te due diligence we carried out appointing Goodwin.

Craig Brown was a fair age when he was in charge of us. Surely not in his seventies though?

[RED_JOHN]

Just checked….He was 70 when he was our boss.

I’m sure he was the oldest manager working in Britain at the time.
