Finished 4-0. Second half was ruined by 8 minute VAR check for the ref to eventually chop off a Barcelona goal. Killed all thr momentum in the game.

Tuesday 24th February for this one, assuming that their pitch is not like a ploughed field by then.

I mind when he was supposed to be the next big thing to come out of Pittodrie. Didnae work out that way, but it seldom does in fitba.

As world champions, we should be favourites to top that group.

Good luck with that, our SC didn’t even get the opportunity to get offered bugger all. It’s went straight to points well done on the move. It’s like A/Mad but works

Three managers since we canned Jimmy? We could learn a thing or two!

Maybe we should borrow the Nottingham Forest hiring process - they've managed to seamlessly hire three managers this season alone, that must be the complete opposite of a shambles.

It's because of our massive fan base in the far East.

It isn’t that these allegedly non shambolic clubs have replacements ready to go whenever they sack a manager, it’s that they’ve decided to sack the manager weeks before they actually do so and they spend the time organising the replacement. We’ve obviously sacked Jimmy sooner than intended so the replacements weren’t quite at the “sign here please” stage. I still contend that that doesn’t make us a shambles in any kind of way. If anything, it suggests there’s an old-school honour in how we deal with senior people.

Been told we might get an update tonight or tomorrow. I'll revisit this on Saturday when we don't Andreas Hinkel (who was linked earlier in the thread). He's said he hasn't spoken to Aberdeen and it's news to him, so if Horneland falls through I think we can rule him out.

Horneland has been on the club's radar for quite some time, so the "should have names lined up," they essentially did. But, he only became available about three weeks into the managerial search. Would imagine it would have been really frustrating for the club if they appointed someone, only for their number one choice to become a free agent days later, so the time it's taken can be in part attributed to that.

I've not even had my first coffee and cornflakes by then. At least wait until lunch time. What the fuck are the SFA playing at with these anti-Aberdeen times!

Watched the highlights of their game last night. They’re miles better than us currently, so gotta hope the new signings make a massive impact as the way we’ve been performing they’ll play us off the park otherwise. What a sad state of affairs that is to even have to make that statement…

Good egg. Previously on Stand Free Forum, made the move to shamelessly try and blag any hearts away tickets as I am about 27000 loyalty points short. Fax me if there are any going spare.

He's sorry......... if his comments have offended anyone. What a guy.

The guy who got the Pom Poms out for Brexit to make everything shitter, then fucks off because everything is shitter and he’ll have to pay money he won’t notice going missing on schools n stuff* Im so bored of billionaires offering up their opinions. The only people worse than them, are the plebs who rush to defend them. * ye ken…

Anything really. Just tell us that we have missed out on potential targets and working on others. Just give it to Leven until the end of the season and buy ourselves some time. Bar the cup, the season is pretty much a write off anyway, so possibly best we don't suffer from another Goodwin type appointment, where his easy fixes never really materialized and lots wanted him gone at the end of that first season. He never got the comfort of a new manager bounce. I'm assuming they would want something sorted before the ST renewal emails come out next month.

Think February's goal of the month is to get a manager in by March

I don't want our director of football having that much sway, and would rather we had an actual process in place to replace managers that doesn't prejudice the appointment. If I have someone in mind, let's say Stephen Glass as an example, I'd more than likely have already made up my mind about the current manager and either not be giving him the support he required, or even going as far as to actively sabotage his chances by only allowing the signing of three incredibly shite loanees in a transfer window, causing even further damage going forward for the inevitable replacement. It also doesn't allow for unexpected applications etc. I'm not sure that clubs with a sporting director do always have replacements lined up (often it can just be a case of good timing, or that they are a big club with a lot of sway who can go out and purchase a replacement immediately), I'm sure we could find plenty of examples of clubs that take their time and also have a sporting director (possibly even in our own league...). I see no real issue with not having a replacement ready.

It is with great regret that we announce today that there is a fifty percent chance that we're going to miss out on our number one target. We will not name names, but he was a manager who had previously had success in Norway, and recently managed in France. We are considering upping our salary offer by a multiple of three with the hope of changing his mind. Otherwise, we'll be forced to proceed with targets currently managing in the SPFL top flight, who are the least shite options that remain after two other better guys turned us down too. We would ask anyone reading this on AFC social media to keep this sensitive information on a need-to-know basis, so as not to jeopardise the prawcess.
