Next manager

[The_Moog]

The warning signs with Cormack was there when he named the training ground after himself,should have been named after Teddy Scott or Willie Miller but that’s what an egomaniac does.

The fact that McInnes was never interested in signing players from anywhere other than the uk yet all of a sudden decided to sign a South American right back playing in Norway for £800k should have set alarm bells ringing.

To then come out in interviews after sacking Glass and Goodwin saying he texted some of the players asking them if they thought he should sack them is bordering on insanity.Maybe he’s doing that right now about Robson.

After the 6-0 Hibs game he went on the radio crying because he had to get rid of Goodwin,yes you could argue that shows he cares but he’s clearly not mentally stable to be running a football club if he’s doing stuff like that.

He’s made mistakes, absolutely, but Jesus, he’s light years better than that absolute shyster Milne.

Off the park, we’re night and day better on fan engagement, PR, making the footy a good day out etc.

Burrows is an excellent appointment.

Commercially we’re also light years better, as our transfer dealings prove.

He’s put his money where his mouth is. No manager has ever had a bigger budget to spend. Can be no complaints about that.

He’s a fan. He gets emotional. He’s probably too public with it sometimes but fück me, I’d rather have that than some dribbling Ã*rsehole telling me we need a strong Rangers.

The managerial appointment is obviously his most important job & yes, he’s made an arse of it twice (maybe 3 times but I don’t think he had much choice after Robson got third) but Milne also had a raft of absolutely horrendous appointments - Alex Miller, Paterson etc.

He’s not above criticism at all, but give me him over a guy who absolutely ruined my club for 20 plus years any day…

Excellent post.

Add to that the players coming through the academy and the success of the age-group teams.

It remains to be seen what will happen with the stadium (nothing is my preference) but the strategy seems to be more than 'how many rabbit hutches can I build on Pittodrie?

That guy is still there, enjoying the influence over the club without the hassle. Cormack absolutely loves the showbiz so it works well for both of them, if not for us. Cormack does a lot of things better than Milne, a lot of things worse.

Two different flavours of shyte.

Now, I’ll be the first to admit I find it almost impossible to remain objective when it comes to the absolute clusterfück that is/was Milne and what a disaster he was for years with the club (you’ve probably noticed). Such a waste of 20 years of my AFC supporting life.

I also 100% agree with you that Milne still being involved in any capacity is dreadful & a big black mark against Cormack.

As we’ll all agree, Cormack’s far from perfect and has made big mistakes, but I genuinely cannot think of anything he does worse than Milne.

He’s as bad on some scores - managerial appointments being a biggie so far, but worse - and “a lot of things�? Nah, you’ve got me there Mason min…

Spot on Moog .... Things might be a bit raw jist noo, and, yeah, a teeensy bit o' 'stress incontinence' might be excusable if not understandable, but the sheer hyperbole infecting a small handful of threads lately would put Donald fkn Trump tae shame.

I think Stewart Milne is the anti christ so I wouldn’t for a second defend the gormless AFC killing c*nt. However, I don’t think he’d ever get caught up with crying on the tv, the ridiculous covid situation or the high pitched screaming on Radio Scotland. There’s all the other stuff too with the training complex, the graveside selfies, the pished up Twitter posts…

He’s a total oddball. Still a huge improvement on Milne but the bar was set pretty low

Fair enough. I know we’re pretty much on the same page here.

The training ground name is a cringe - but, he did pay for the feckin thing (again something Milne never got near doing in 20 years) and I don’t actually think the naming was his idea - though he didn’t knock it back clearly.

He’s got an ego, absolutely. Wears his heart on his sleeve, absolutely, and he’s a bit eccentric at times, but an oddball is a bit harsh tbh.

He’s spent a lot of time in the US, so he’s acclimatised to their culture and attitudes - always super positive, open and transparent in communications & often overly familiar, which are pretty much the polar opposite of the character traits of your typical Aberdonian & Scotsman.

I actually found the Easter Road interview post Naewin getting bagged quite endearing. Showed he gives a fück.

You would never, ever see him siding with the Tims to keep 11-1 voting and destroy a once in a lifetime chance to potentially level the playing field a bit.

You’d never, ever hear the words “Scottish football needs a strong Rangers� come from his lips (even if he might think it).

Not perfect, not by a long stretch, but give me that any day of the week…

One thing Cormack has made a total cock up (so far) is his appointing managers, I know it is a group decision but I'm sure when the chips are down that he has the final say.

Everything else I don't have an issue with, for what he's brought to the table in such a short space of time, compared to Milne anyway, has been nothing short of essential for the football club as a whole. Landing Burrows was a masterstroke and I hope we don't follow on from his appointment with backward steps.

Hope I don't have to repeat this again but I DONT want Robson gone just now, there really would be nothing better than for him to progress from his promising start and take the squad/team to the heights most of us think can be achieved. I will say however that for him to remain as manager then better performances and results need to happen ASAP, starting at Hearts away next game.
