I definitely think lutz has input, that’s his job. We’ve talked about someone holding the manager/head coach accountable, that involves asking questions and giving feedback. He’ll give leven things to think about, and it’s very normal over here for your director of football to be on the bench, giving insight and there for support/discussion. As you say, we’re also juggling things around right now trying to find a winning formula, plus with signing Geiger afeez and olusanya, they’ll play because our other options are so poor …….then afeez proves he’s not ready. Agree with playing sivert, but I’d go 3-5-2 for the remainder of the season. Sivert inbetween Milne and McIntyre. Wing backs devlin/lobban and frame, with Geiger shinnie and Cameron, nisbet and olusanya up top. All of our wingers are crap, why play with wingers. We can get width from the wingbacks, and the diagonal runs from Cameron and olusanya. Up top the bizarre thing is nisbet is playing well and looks fit, plus the pace of olusanya will help and he’s not required to play with too much skill compared to being wide, he can run into through balls and flick one from nisbet. it’s not a sparkling team, but I think the back three again will make us harder to beat. Two up top with support from a mobile Cameron will hopefully give us chances and a goal or two. It’s doesn’t need to be a defensive line up, but it will make us more compact and a more solid block defensively. wouldn’t mind seeing Kjarten given minutes with us limited in central midfield options, maybe when shinnie has run his race, throw him out there.

Your determination to derail every thread by saying the same thing over and over again, and then insulting anyone who disagrees with your opinion, got boring a long time ago.

Devlin is sitting next to the stairs, presumably because his knee is in a brace so he can stretch and not have to hobble all the way along the row. I'm not reading a whole lot into that. I'm more concerned about the remaining FMB members sitting together (because it'll never end well if that brains trust is allowed to scheme).

Didn’t hear leven anywhere take any responsibility for the cup loss. All blame on the players? looking a bit more at Leven, I suppose it’s optics. Cormack has also referenced sacking x managers in such a short period of time, does he really want to fire the interim. I do believe managers will be wary of trigger happy cormack, despite the manager firings being justifiable. you can always tweak things internally, tell leven to take more input from doc for example, but it’s 9 games. We have an 8 point lead on killie, would take a lot for them to catch us. As much as we need to win games, so do they. pre split we have falkirk and hibs at home, st mirren and rangers away. Killie have hearts, livi and Dundee at home, hibs away. Impossible to predict any of this, we are gash but killie aren’t exactly on form, won 2 draw 2 lost 6 in their last 10, including pumping us.

We don't want learners or apprentices. We want the real deal. So it simply has to be a European. No-one in Scotland is big enough for the job. I understand the Scottish nationalist agenda many of you clearly follow so I know what's behind your wilful ignorance on the matter but if you could just try and park (to run with the laboured car metaphor) the insular, xenophobic thinking for even a moment you'd realise that I'm right.

.... ..... I imagine pretty much every test driver Ferrari have ever had was a boy racer at some point. Bizzare comparison regardless though. Have you watched Falkirk much? I saw a fair bit of them last season and was very impressed how they moved the ball. That they have continued to have success in the top flight without really compromising how they go about their business is very impressive considering they were in the 3rd tier two seasons ago. McGlynn has got talent, clearly. He also has experience and defo an eye for a player. He's able to spot a capable striker at this level playing in a university team whilst we are wasting money on the likes of Ambrose and Yengi ffs. At the very least he would be a safe pair of hands but I think he would do very well with an increased budget especially with Mowbray returning as chief scout. You can talk about levels all you want but we are only a big club within the context of Scottish football. Let's face it, in the grand scheme of things every club in Scotland is diddy as fuck.

I would personally be apoplectic if we ended up with the likes of him. Absolutely furious. He's simply not Aberdeen class. There's one thing doing well at a wee club like Falkirk but Aberdeen is a whole other level. He'd be way out of his depth. I'm perfectly fine with binning Leven and having Docherty in charge until the summer. He'll get us over the line. I'm not confident that either Horneland or Schwarz will want to take the job on at all. Be it now or in summer. After Saturday if I was them I'd certainly be running away fast.

https://www.waterstones.com/book/games-of-my-life/sir-alex-ferguson/2928377376475 Signed copy for £40 at Waterstones. He's gan to get writers cramp if they're all personally signed by him.

I don’t believe that we would be fearing relegation as we are now if we had kept Thelin. But at the same time based on Levens record last time out I expected us to be fine under him. It is much more professional to sack the manager before you start talking to other candidates, It’s just unfortunate that our preferred candidate appears to be unavailable till the summer. It’s easy to say we need someone now, but would we be happy if it was John McGlynn?

Must be running out of whisky tokens. Hearts and rangers obviously not paying him enough. Genuinely sad.

I've just seen that the Top Red that is Sir Alex Ferguson has a new book coming out this October called "Games of my Life", where he looks back at 21 matches in his career which stood out. There's bound to be one or two Dons games featured.

A reminder to the younger forum users what rangers crowds were like before Murray and Souness started a revolution backed by hop-a-longs gold. AQNU5v6w-R9uW_jvXh13NVrMRikfTLjqyorD6_dfaCnU1OxupuR3Hg0-TtzUSsQ2w1V_fZEw73FOvsR2FwbFMgJzU0GC4vOvNKOPOfVoFTz9Fg.mp4

Said this repeatedly to anyone that would listen at the game on Saturday night. Didn't think it possible at the time but we have regressed in the past two months

Minder. Scares me to think Arthur and Terry are both dead. Tick bloody tock. Good episode featuring Jimmy Nail as a kindly didicoy and a star appearance from June Whitfield as a randy widow. She's also dead of course. Oh me. The sands of time are fast running out.

I agree that Leven is a hun fud

Levels.

And yet they’ve both made a complete cunt of us this season.

I'd absolutely refuse to entertain the likes of McGlynn or Robinson. Not sure if you're from here but mid table or not Aberdeen are still a massive club and that demands a certain class of manager. Central belt teuchters and irish minks need not apply.

I remember years ago (at least 20) they sold Brandy Balls in the club shop. They were so good.

Levels? I'd say John McGlynn is levels above Aberdeen at the moment. If he was wanting a new job, he could do better than the shitshow on offer at Pittodrie. Rumours circulating he will be leaving the game come summer, so I doubt he will be next in the door.

Ridiculous suggestion. It would be the equivalent of giving a boy racer a job driving for Ferrari. Levels.

Agreed, I would be delighted with McGlynn 2bh

Obviously it's just hypothesising but it's perhaps worth a conversation while I wait for my supper to appear. It's my opinion that we'd be in a far better place now if we'd just kept Thelin in situ until the end of the season rather than replacing him with that hun fud Leven. Anyone in the mood to profer up their own opinion?

So. Yet again been found wanting. One of the worst defeats in our history and the response is radio silence. Absolutely useless the whole lot of them. It's obviously all far too comfortable for everyone at Pittodrie.

Out Everyone has a breaking point, I've reached mine. Attending games in Athens, Prague, Kilmarnock, Dunfermline amongst others have done me. If I believed we could actually do it properly, relegation and a complete rebuild might work in our favour but like everything else nowadays, we'd probably fuck it up. Back to the game on Saturday Aberdeen 0 Falkirk as many as they fancy.
