Sack Jimmy Turnip

[The_Moog]

Seen this referenced a lot. As though it’s the same team over and over.

Over a third of the squad came in this season.
Only Mackenzie and Besuijen have played for all 4.
Add Clarkson, Duk, Morris, Polvara to those who played under Goodwin. (Shinnie only came in at the tail end)

Would be better if it was the one team, but it’s several!

Not to excuse these individuals but again I’m harking back to the lack of Technical Director.

Is our model wrong? Is our mix of project/model players to experience skewed?
Like Warnock says are we concentrating too much on data?
Not a fan of him but can’t say he’s not experienced.

With how Jimmy spoke in the build up to the window I fair thought we’d we seeing some experienced Scottish players come in.
That’s not transpired (yet…hope springs eternal…I’m a dandy after all…).

I’m still fully behind JT but it’s moot if he’s not getting fully supported, and I don’t just mean Dave flinging money at ‘the model’.

Ok, I could have worded it better - I meant between them the pre Thelin signings have seen off up to 4 managers - some 1 or 2, up to the full 4.

The point still stands though. All need binned. None have the mentality or ability to play for AFC.

I also remember the bit about Cormack asking the senior players about Glass. That approach hasnt been mentioned again since with the other managers, so hopefully he did learn his lesson from that mistake.

He better have.

No being able to get in a striker JT wants is going to speed up his sacking.

If Jimmy Turnip gets beaten by Dunfermline do you think he should be removed as Dons manager?

Remember Dunfermline are in the Championship in 8th position which would suggest they shouldn?t be too difficult to deal with if we go about our business professionally.

No, he won't be sacked if we get beat on Sunday.


We've just spent quite a sizeable amount of cash on what has to be players of his choosing. We'd look even more stupid if we sacked him now.

I reckon he has the rest of the season, unless the winless run carries on in the league into March. Only then could I see the board taking action.

I always thought we would struggle when our winning run came to and end, but not quite this bad. I also believe once we get the next league victory, we will go on another run of winning games.

Third place and the Scottish cup will do fine for JTs first season.

Can we sack you and keep Jimmy?

You are stuck with me. Pay more attention to what I say about players and managers. I haven?t been wrong yet.
We all had a bit of a soft spot for Jimmy Thelin at the start as we done enough to get results in our favour at the start. When the chips are down though he turned into Jimmy Turnip and is getting more found out as the weeks move on.
If we get beat by a poor Dunfermline side it should definitely be the end of the neeps reign as Aberdeen manager. Only the fans who have completely lost drive to care about Aberdeen will want him to stay.
I hope we win tomorrow but pity help this forum if we don?t. I will take great pleasure in debating with anyone about Jimmy Turnip.
