Next manager?

[TheDeeDon]

Surely the McInnes rumour is something started by a certain Mr Milne who is still likely to be cracking one off each night over his picture.

Whoever is our next manager, I hope we never see such a cosy relationship between owner and manager like we did with Deek and Stu.

Strachan now one of the favourites. This has to be being fueled by online forums and Twitter. I don't think Strachan would come back here in any capacity after what happened with his mate McGhee.

That said, he would probably stabilise us at the least.

Ricardo Rodriguez (Spanish) who has had success in Japan has now been linked with the Dons.

Get him in if this is a genuine possibility.

Looks a decent appointment if the story is true.

Frank Eardley, a cynical old Hibee and a regular contributor to Scottish Review’s ‘Café’ section this week…

“ It was on the bus, Saturday night, that I heard the voice coming from a few rows behind. Normally I sit downstairs on the bus, however, at the behest of my friend, I was travelling this evening in the foreign territory of the upper deck.

It was the tone of a confident person – a supremely assured man. I have written about overheard conversations before and don't go around looking for them, they just seem to follow me. I was unable not to hear the one-way conversation. I expect the person on the other end was probably nodding at most in response, having no chance to contribute to the conversation, such was the intensity of this individual's imposed monologue. The timbre of the voice was of exceptional confidence, coupled with incredulity that others did not recognise this, despite the obvious factual evidence.

Have you ever seen Archie Pepper, the IT guy on Scot Squad? That was the template from which this one was cut, though I don't know what he did for a living. The summary of conversation appeared to be that his employer and work colleagues did not appreciate his abilities. He had become bored and frustrated of their obvious lack of gratitude in simply having him around. He had further come to the end of his tether and handed in his notice. However, they had accepted it with no questions asked. Instead of reading the room and coming to an understanding that he might not be as good as he thought, he appeared to take this as a rebuff and embarked on a diatribe, questioning his employer's ability to judge the value of his services. I have never been happier to reach my stop.

My main preferred mode of transport is to walk. It was only because I was in the company of a friend and we were returning from a long day of spectating at the football that I even took the bus. Talking of the football, I regularly come into contact with many, as yet 'undiscovered', world-class coaches when in attendance at my favourite stadium. Wise words and salutary statements are offered at regular intervals during the match as these titans of football knowledge educate the crowd with their undoubted expertise.

At the time of writing, Aberdeen and Motherwell are both on the lookout for new blood in the managerial department and they could probably do worse than turn their attention to this untapped source of master tacticians. Like the man in the bus, the football geniuses who sit near to me appear absolutely assured in their knowledge of the beautiful game and the tactics which would turn a mediocre team into world beaters. Exuding such confidence, it is ignominious that they are, till now anyway, deprived of their chance.

Then again, as my wife says, maybe I just don't feel comfortable around confident people.”

Maybe not quite geniuses, but I think a lot of clubs could do worse than to consult fans when picking a manager

I'd be hopeless, along with RJ and BUS and a few others on here, but maybe not as bad an idea as your boy in your post tries to make out.

Obviously it depends what bookies odds you look at, but according to betting odds dot com

It appears to be a two horse race between Strachan 7/4 and Lennon 5/2
There is no smoke without fire and the fact that Lennon and Burrows are friends I think we should be getting ready for the fact that love him or loathe him Lennon could very well be our next gaffer with Barry Robson as his assistant.
I can see this place going into meltdown when that happens, I have said since the departure of McInnes, Lennon should be our man as he will do a decent job for us.

If clubs consulted the fans before picking a manager, we would’ve avoided most of the disasters we’ve suffered this century.

Give it up min.

I can guarantee one thing, Lennon will never be the manager of my team.

According to Tims in my work, Lennon’s looking at a hefty tax bill if he’s going to be working in the uk. Might be shyte, just passing on what those clatty c*nts are saying.

If Lennon’s in, I’m out
