I doubt he had much influence in matters.

By the same token of him taking his share of the sh*t, it's worth giving him a credit for the cup win.

Reading his statement, it reads like he is being pushed out.
My take on it anyway.

Gunn and Burrows have been on social media all summer taking credit for us winning the Scottish Cup ( Burrows more so than Gunn).

Thats fine with me if the club wants to say the Scottish Cup win was a collective achievement from everyone within Aberdeen fc.

But they all need to take responsibility for when its not going well,dont just throw the manager under the bus and hide in the background then start posting again on social media when we have some success.

The job title "Director of Football" can mean such a myriad of different things.
I've no clue what the guy did, but I've heard he's an OK bloke so good luck to him.

He is an administrator, and was Director of Football Operations until they changed his title to match that previously held by Burkinshaw, 6, and Craig Brown, a fat error.

The reason he was involved in transfers etc was to advise on visas, permits, contracts, payments to selling clubs etc. He had a key role in liaising with UEFA, who after the preliminarly rounds in Euro competitions, "virtually take over Pittodrie" to ensure European standards are met in terms of infrastruture and facilities. Also travel, accommodation and visa arrangements for Euro trips to Bumfvckski, Bovrilio. Given the size of the backroom staff we now employ, he'd have been their top-of-the-tree line manager.

I'd bet the farm on his having **** all to do with player purchase apart from the admin and bean-counting stuff.

No one is saying he doesn’t deserve criticism…

I know you enjoy the devils advocate role Rico but it’s not about any actual valid criticism, it’s about the likes of what DD says - the ‘OTT’ nature of it with regards to Gunn.
You frequent the Hat, you’ve surely seen it. Or from the likes of that muppet on here. Just plain nasty. The go to guy when someone wanted to be a keyboard warrior. Jack MacKenzie was another that got similar treatment.

Yeah the middle aged men on the hat are brutal towards Gunn and I agree that it?s over the top but they are like that with everyone,pretty sad really.Same goes for rj who like the hat users seems to hate everyone at the club.

Anyway I said all along I didnt think he had the experience for the job but good luck to him.Hopefully the club bring in an experienced director of football who will know how to run the club.

So to cut a long story short, you agreed with me that Gunn wasn?t really the guy for that job.

Anyone else in any particular role at the club that you think similar of?

[rico94]

Are you talking about Burrows?

Im not really sure about him as he doesnt really have anything to do with the football side of things.

He does seem to take a lot of credit for stuff that hasnt really got a lot to do with him.

Record shirt sales and season tickets sold for example.

A straight yes or no will do with these few questions from yourself

Are you happy to see Steven Gunn leave his position at Aberdeen FC?

Do you think Alan Burrows role at Aberdeen FC is necessary in a footballing capacity?

Is Jimmy Thelin the manager you can fully support at the club?

[RED_JOHN]

The above was in response to Rico and hopefully he will answer.

Anyone else can chip in also.

Myself

1 Yes

2 No

3 No

[swaddon2]

1 Not bothered

2 Don't know

3 Nae really

[blowupsheep]

Feck me, Gunners gone/going and now Burrows is useless.

Can you elaborate why he is useless?

Ok perhaps the use of the word useless is a bit harsh.
But with that being said would not mind being able to figure what the actual fcuk he brings to the table as i canna see him brining anything at all.
Do we actually need his "role" at the club? Personally i dont think we do 🤷🏻*♂️
