Need to watch the final yet

I agree with pretty much every word. But we have previous form for this. McInnes-Glass-Goodwin-Robson-Warnock-Thelin. Every man so different from the next. There's no consistency there in selection. We abandon the plan, try short-term success, then go back to the plan again. We can't make up our minds. I can't help but feel Cormack is again looking enviously at Hearts. McInnes - experienced, knows the league, good at motivating the squad, has had some success before, and having a poor season at Kilmarnock hasn't stopped a very good league campaign so far at a bigger club. Who is the most similar type of manager in Scotland for Aberdeen to recreate that - Stephen Robinson. I also think it's personal for Cormack. He got rid of McInnes, and yet this will be the second time in four seasons in the top flight that McInnes has finished above Aberdeen. Hearts finishing above Aberdeen with McInnes in charge is a big problem for Cormack, especially if he does the unthinkable and wins the title. Why does Askou check the boxes but McGlynn doesn't? If McGlynn was Portuguese, 20 years younger and in his first season here, we'd be raving about him. It's not the slightest of glances. He has his fans in the boardroom, has been considered before, and is being considered now. Robinson is a good manager, that's the thing. He could actually be a successful Aberdeen manager. We would likely have to accept a horrible style of football, but let's not pretend there is not a very competent manager there. But, if we go with the - as you put it, the vision aligned coach - we're asking for time to get it right. We wanted to give Thelin time, and we did until we couldn't any more, but it wasn't all his fault, but will Cormack and the club accept their share of the blame? I think Cormack wants instant success this time and thinks Robinson will come in and lift the place (yes, just like that McInnes character) and paper over the recruitment/structure cracks we have. But here's hoping Lutz has others ideas.

Doves - Black and White Town

Usually Twitter. They have been right about things at times too, but I think Robinson is a wind up.

Our Summer signings don't usually work out much better either. I wish I shared your optimism.

Consider him a replacement in the squad for the now departed Dorrington and the injured Molloy & Tobers. Didn't we only have one centre half on the pitch against Raith?

Geez. Can’t edit, too many typos and Calvin Davidson!!

Just don’t see it with Robinson. It doesn’t add up. We’ve done much to mold ourselves into a bigger and more ambitious club in recent years, major business focus, investment, improved game day experience, bigger squad, player trading model, planning around playing in Europe, director of football etc. Dave is also, like myself, living in American sporting culture, and Robinson isn’t his type. We are a bigger and more professional club now, with bigger goals and ambitions. Robinson is a step backwards. He’s had a little success, and I could be wrong, but I don’t see a progressive coach there with modern methodology. Does he even have a style of play that matches what lutz and Dave want? Both have said an appealing brand of football is required. It would almost be like hiring Goodwin again. But with a little more experience. It makes no sense to hire Lutz with his more world game experience, then hire from Dow the road at st mirren. The Motherwell checks the boxes, this guy does not. Neither does mcglynn. i’d even argue it would be slightly more more realistic if st mirrwn were where Motherwell are, fighting at the top end of the league, getting praise for their style of play etc. but they are not. I know they won the league cup, but I jus don’t think signing a manager from the team 3rd bottom of the league matches our philosophy and ambition. We chose not to hire Calvin Davidson when he had domestic success, I expect Robinson to get the slightest of glances before we hire a more glamorous coach and vision aligned coach.

If true this is fairly depressing

There IS something to the Robinson links. Again, I don't know if the boy tweeting it is right that he's now the front runner, but he is on the club's radar and has fans in the Dons boardroom. And to be fair to the guy who tweeted about Robinson today, he broke the Olusanya story hours before it, which other media are now reporting. (although, granted, he hasn't signed yet, but it appears he's been first to an exclusive there). McGlynn sounds more like a guess, and I say that because the site posting it (footy insiders) has form for being way off the mark with things. But as is often the case when there's a vacancy, it's about timing, and McGlynn is very much the in-form manager just now, so I'd be surprised if he wasn't in the conversation.

I think there might be something to Mcglynn 2bf but not Robinson. I actually quite like Robinson, I think he usually speaks well and he's certainly a good manager at this level. His players clearly love playing for him and it's fair to say he's managed to get a tune out of players we couldn't in Phillips and Richardson, Phillips in particular. Right now though he doesn't seem a good fit for me because it would be the first time he would be taking a team that was expected to win most of it's games. He's never done that before, nor have any managers in the Cormack era come to think of it. Even Thelin came from a club that was regarded as punching. Mcglynn on the other hand has done that in league one with aplomb and then taken that team to dominate the league above which is notoriously cuthroat the very next season. The more I think about Mcglynn getting the job the more I warm to it 2bh.

Ah hope tae fuck it's WEEKS rether than months

I think there’s absolutely nothing to Robinson or mcglynn. Is lazy and boring journalism, nothing to report so make shit up for attention.

Fingers crossed it's a few months to recover and he's just coming back to his best form as the season ends and he's nice and fresh for the world cup.

This is my feeling too. Lutz is a complete unknown quantity and has clearly given the press absolutely hee haw. If were to offer odds I would give evens on it ending up being a candidate that hasn't even been mentioned anywhere relation to the job.

My first thought when i heard the rumour was he could be good for Nisbet. My aging memory says he was quick, grafted his ass off and was generally a pain in the arse to play against everyone in the league. We all know there is a proper no 9 in Nisbet and Olusanya is the kind of player who could potentially create the space and opportunity he needs. I would be at peace with signing him 2bh (sorry Al)

As we have a surplus of over priced, underperforming charlatans, maybe there will be a lot of movement in the next fortnight

And no offence to you old friend but you are far too much of an addict to ever give it up and you know it . You saying this is like Jute saying he's not going to go to a game we all know he's going to but he's just not admitted it to himself yet.

Doesn't excuse no pre-contracts, or loans with agreement to purchase. We managed to sign players in January every other year, it's not beyond us. Loans are a choice, and one we've seen before.

This is all part of the prawcess

Tanser with last minute equaliser for St Mirren against Livingston. Draw is probably best result for us.

Other accounts now saying mcglynn is the leading contender so probably safe to say that no-one has a clue.

Hopefully if he is walking, by the time he gets here, we have appointed someone else
