Sack Jimmy Turnip

[RED_JOHN]

Can anyone remember after which fixture Jimmy came out and was slaughtering the players and made it clear that some of them wouldn't be playing for us again?

I'm sure that happened though perhaps it was one of the previous managers as we've went through a load of them.

I'm curious if Jimmy did say that then which players, if any, haven't played or hardly ever played for us after that speech?

I'm struggling to think of any players that have been demoted massively, perhaps Devlin but that's understandable due to Jensen coming in.

Jack MacKenzie and Peter Ambrose have also struggled for game time alongside Nicky Devlin.
Thelin definitely had a go at players in the media but obviously didn?t name them.
Jack MacKenzie is leaving but I would imagine Ambrose and Devlin will be sort of hoping Thelin gets axed as it might well save their Aberdeen careers. Both look a good bit off it at the moment and their heads are obviously down since being axed so dramatically.

I cant see anything saving Ambrose or Devlins Aberdeen fc careers.

I cant see anything saving Ambrose or Devlins Aberdeen fc careers.

Agree.
Ambrose just doesn't look good enough, although the loon hasn't really had a chance.
The fact he hardly played whilst we struggled for goals tells its own story.

Devlin might well be something to do with what The Moog posted about. Has to be more than coincidence he went from starter to bench warmer.

A shame though, as like Devlin a lot.

Here is another conundrum?..do we let this manager keep spending on more players (he has spent approximately ?3-3.5m on players so far during his time here)?
We are already spending close to a starting fee of ?500k for a winger from the Australian league so it?s not as if Cormack isn?t willing to stump up cash.

I have given Cormack stick before but he spent a fortune on training facilities which aren?t get used properly and also splashing more cash backing his latest manager so in fairness he is doing his bit financially.
His choice of managers can be questioned but that is a different debate.

Do we keep backing Jimmy Turnip or do we cut our losses and back a more accomplished manager who has or even thinks he has an idea of what would make us a far better team.

Jimmy looks like he is really struggling believing in himself never mind his players. Can he look at Dave Cormack and say he has given it his best shot?

Ive got no problem with Cormack spending money on the squad this summer whoever the manager is.

It?s not entirely down to the manager who we sign anyway. Keskinen for example was being lined up since last season so he was coming in whether Thelin wanted him or not.

Last season im pretty sure that Or Dadia and the lad we took in from Liverpool were signed over Robsons head considering he never gave either of them a chance.

What I would be more critical of Thelin about is the fact that he has completely overlooked our youth system.

The club like to brag about how good our youth system is but its pointless if none of them are getting into the first team.

Theres a few players who won the youth league last season on loan at Cove and Inverness Caley.Maybe thats their level which would make our youth policy a waste of time but it would be good to at least give these young players a chance.

I would rather we played the final against Celtic with the youth team and their coaches.
Everyone in the country is expecting Celtic to win because our first team have sh@t their breeks and looking like a bunch of lads who have just been thrown together in the hope of producing some miracle but without putting in the effort.

Aberdeen FC should have the best youth team set up in the country.
We must rely on it as we invest a lot of money into it. Good young players get better through experience?.at Aberdeen we seriously limit their chances of playing regularly with the first team. Not many managers recently are interested in nurturing these young players and willing to do the hard work to keep improving them.
It?s a bit of a shame for the young lads when they win trophies but at the same time get sent a message they aren?t needed for the first team.

If you were a top young player with clubs chasing you would you sign for Aberdeen? You need to look at the bigger picture.
