I want Aberdeen to have the best manager in the country but Jimmy Turnip is miles off it. There is more of an argument that any other manager in our league with his budget would have us in a better place than we currently occupy.
I am positive that if Brendan Rodgers was Aberdeen manager and had the funds Thelin had been given he would easily have us higher up the table than where we are.
I don?t see the fuss for the Turnip. We have poor goalkeepers, poor defenders, poor midfielders and poor attackers. We offer no real threat from corner kicks or set pieces and only play the one way which is easy to read and play against (if you are a decent coach).
We might win the Scottish Cup but it will be like winning a prize draw because it will only be won out of luck. We aren?t going to win the cup by being better prepared than them. They are streets ahead of us in that respect. They definitely work harder than us and that cannot be argued against. It might register with the posters who refuse to look at what they see.
