Next manager

[ZakkTheMakk]

Ach, jist observin, within 2 days, albeit, a 48 hour period where we lost a game, yev gone fae nae callin' for his head, tae 'maybe if', and ontae 'get a top quality established manager'.

So yer nae quite callin' for his head, ... yet, ... but, essentially ye'v come tae that position, in that you advocate a change of manager if we do not wish to be in a position you find unacceptable.

Jist interested in what tomorrow will bring, and if you decide tae jist 'oot wi' it' and actually call for his head.

Nae bothered either way, jist interested.

So basically you're admitting you were talking pish, the first step is admitting you're talking ****e and you've done that so a hearty handshake for you.

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.

I speak a lot o' sh!te on here .... it'll nae change, best ye get used tae it

I don’t think anyone is saying that Cormack hasn’t done good things for the club since he took over but there is no denying that he’s made an arse of a lot of things as well.

A lot of people said at the beginning of the year after the Hearts/Darvel/Hibs week that he really needed to take a back seat and leave Burrows and Gunn to run the club for him.

Unfortunately it doesn’t look like he is capable of doing that because as others have said Cormack likes to be in the limelight.

After the 2-2 draw in Hacken he was on the pitch with the players applauding the support, the chairman of a football club shouldn’t be doing that.

If we miraculously won the Scottish cup it wouldn’t surprise me if he went up to lift the trophy himself.

[Ebbe_stats]

Yeah he's a bit of an extrovert which is fine, not the type I'd go for a drink with but it takes all sorts to make the world go round

I suppose most people who end up in his position are quite similar in personality - not many wallflowers amongst global CEO multi-millionaires

Regardless all I care about is his decision making and for the most part I think the club is better set up now than pre-DC

The manager decisions have been poor but again - I can see his logic (not with Glass - that was a rubbish decision from all angles) in taking a proven manager in our league who'd done well with a team on a lower budget and got them playing pretty well - in fact he'd done it with two separate teams. I'm still not really sure how it went so wrong with Goodwin - the collapse was swift and terrible

He's very passionate and obviously loves his team, he is a bit looser with the purse strings. I'm hopeful he'll oversee a good period in our fabled history once he settles down a bit

Could it be the AFC effect?
Everything the manager touches turns to shyte?

Who was the last manager that this didn't apply to?

[Mason89]

There’s an easy explanation for Goodwin. He looked at his squad of players & then decided to play the formation & tactics least suited to them because he thought he was a smart @rse

Robson for some inexplicable reason, is choosing to go down the same road.

[rico94]

I think the fact that Cormack has twice said that he is in close contact with the players and asks them if they think he should sack the manager is a major reason why it’s been a disaster since he took over.

Any manager we appoint is on a hiding to nothing if the players know they can over their managers head to Cormack if they aren’t happy about something.

I'm nae going to call you a liar Rico min, but please tell me you've made this up.
