Kettlewell for pittodrie , they deserve that fud .

Jens on the shortlist for palace

The club have a completely different ethos to that employed by Robinson at every single club he has ever been at.

They have been a shambles under Cormack, spent loads plus all the compensation pay outs to managers they sacked. Dons fans must wish they had stuck with mcinnes

What a horrible club Aberdeen are. They poached Robinson from St Mirren only to try and derail Saints in the relegation dogfight between them that season. They still think ,along with the BBC and Willie Miller that they are a Billy Baws Club. May have a big support but they are just clueless about running a football club . No foresight or vision. Hope they sign another numpty manager, they deserve it.

The only negative I can take from this

It seems they might have gone backwards after Craigan joined the party. We'll probably have him back on the radio now.

I did make it clear at the time. It’s not my fault you’re so determined to read something into two words that I literally didn’t say, particularly when I’d already explained my position in the same thread, on the same day. There’s a certain irony in accusing me of being snidey while persistently twisting my words and attributing things to me that simply aren’t there. If that’s too wordy for you, I suggest you read it again.

That would be funny as they wanted mcinnes out as they didn't like his style......then ended up with Kettlewell 🤣

I was going to say same but both you and oneills40yarder beat me to it

Should have just said that at the time instead of trying to be snidey. Im sure you'll be back with a wordy response soon.

Wouldn’t surprise me if he ended up at Killie in the not too distant future.

Robinson gone https://www.afc.co.uk/en/news/stephen-robinson-departs

Was going to say exactly the same thing, but you beat me to it.

Okay

Unless you see both McGlynn and AJ at close quarters you are in not position to say what either is and you are passing off speculation as fact.

So your basically saying there is no difference other than the personal characteristics of the person who holds the position? What you are describing is a Leader. Jens had stature. McGlynn has age and experience. Alfred has neither of those things, so he needs to be able to show that his tactics and philosophy work to gain the trust of the players. That takes time. Time you dont seem to be willing to give him.

He could have been, but fell short thanks to his poor cup performances.

I need to correct you JBA was a Legend 🤣🤣🤣

Then you’d honestly be wrong. He did well overall with us but stayed on a season too long and he did even better at St.Mirren. Aberdeen is a thankless task because their support won’t tolerate anything less than challenging for trophies every single year. Since McInnes left there they have had six permanent managers who haven’t got them anywhere near the levels of consistency they had under him.

Being a manager and being a coach are two different things. A manager or head coach if you prefer that title (still a manager) is a figurehead, a leader who manages, motivates and directs his players. Regardless of what their actual remit is on paper, managers come to the fore. JBA was a manager John McGlynn is a manager Alfred Johansson is a coach

100% correct.

McGlynn is suited to Falkirk, he’s at home there and can do no wrong. Good luck to him as I think he’s improved as a manager and he’s one of the few who have adapted. I think he’d be a nutcase to leave where he is wanted to go to Aberdeen, their fans would rip him to shreds. as for AJ, for a few weeks, starting probably at the game at Ibrox, we really looked disjointed and all over the place, his selections seemed iffy to say the least (especially v Celtic) and a number of his substitutions in games have left me a bit bemused. But you’d need to be a blinkered idiot not to recognise we’ve played quite well in the past few games and have just missed that bit of clinical finishing (same as last year) I think things are turning around a bit and players are coming back from injury making the squad stronger. He’s got my full backing and I think most of the fans (who go to the games) agree.

Nonsense The main difference between a football manager and a football coach lies in their scope of responsibility. Managers handle both team tactics and administration, like transfers and contracts . While coaches focus on training players and developing tactics. Seeing as Falkirk have a CEO who deals with transfers and contracts the same as we do, McGlynn will do exactly the same role as AJ does for us. Jesus fuck the lengths some of you are going to defend an ingrained opinion is really quite sad. By all means dislike AJ if you want, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but for Christs sake spare us the mental acrobatics to justify your ingrained mindset. Fuck me we had the utter shite a few weeks back "has he lost the dressing room" after 7 games. I've said for sometime that I'm not convinced by AJ but I am open to the fact that he can change my opinion and those trying to infer there has been no improvement over the last 3/4 games are just being bloody minded to defend their over the top rhetoric. Like any manager AJ may turnout to be a dud , he may not but lets keep it to facts. How the fuck you know enough about what McGlynn does at Falkirk and what AJ does at Motherwell is a puzzler, cos to any even minded thinking its just pure speculation to reinforce an ingrained mindset.
