Playing teams that are even worse than us. Usually helps.

Talk of Iranian terrorists already in the USA doing bombing attacks from within

Welcome back to the international sporting fold...

Petrol bombs and banners also work.

Cancelled my DNA membership. Not interested in them pissing more of my money away and the only way that may see any disgruntlement seeping through to the charlatans at the top is if they are hit in the pocket. Feel free to use below as a guide if you feel similarly. "Please be advised that I wish to cancel my DNA International membership (number on account is XXX). Please also pass on to Executive that this is entirely due to the news release today and the utterly shambolic way the football operation of the club is being run. I can no longer financially support such ineptitude and I will not renew while members of the “Football Monitoring Board” are still at the club."

Yeah there’s rumours he is off / has been sacked. Would make sense but what a fuck up.

How long does the Reporting Scotland OB team have to lurk around the city centre before finding the absolute beauts they eventually decide to feature on the news. Jesus Christ.

Wouldn't be surprised it St. M insisted he was on gardening leave until the season's end, if he takes the job.

That would be hilarious. Imagine the meltdown that would cause?

It would indeed be mental but FIFA love money and Israel have a lot of that and a lot of clout. I really wouldn't be surprised if it came to pass.

Has there been any indication of the planned timeframe of his appointment. Are we wanting him in post in time for this weekends game or is it a wait until summer job or what?

As the middle east representative? That'd be extreme banter from the US lads. Extremist, even.

I've nothing against Stephen Robinson personally. I think he's a decent manager, and given a good squad he absolutely can be a successful Aberdeen manager. He's also a more successful manager than everyone we've appointed since McInnes, and as of now has also won the same number of trophies as McInnes. He also led St Mirren & Motherwell to a combined three cup finals, just one fewer than McInnes at Aberdeen, which is probably a bigger achievement when you consider the budgets. My annoyance is us once again abandoning a long term strategy because we can't make up our fucking minds what to do. We also could have appointed him two months ago and potentially still salvaged the season. I don't know if the Lutz leaving rumours are true, but if they are then that's another shit show to deal with. At the moment I have little confidence in us having a squad next season that will be good enough for Robinson to get anything out of.

I wouldn't either. It also wouldn't be implausible that Robinson was on the shortlist and that after Lutz's preferred candidates didn't come to fruition, Robinson's knowledge of Scottish fitba saw him ahead of a few foreigners that maybe Lutz wasn't as keen on. In terms of overall risk, Robinson is reasonably low, a bit like signing a player from another Scottish side in that regard. Maybe he's being pragmatic.

I wouldn’t believe a single internet rumour about Lutz but if he is away, maybe he was given his chance to get a coach, fucked it and is paying the price?

Israel to step in and take their place? It wouldn't bloody surprise me.

It's clearly not an appointment Lutz would have wanted and a big part of the role he was employed to do would entail identifying prospective managers. So if as seems obvious Cormack (at the suggestion of WFH Burrows) has gone completely over his head he'd be a mug to stay. He's been totally undermined and humiliated.

Yes, it answers a lot of lingering questions

Aye, your usual encouraging self. I might not want him, but for the good of our club, I hope he does well, IF appointed.

Hearing a few rumours that Lutz is gone or will be going. IF any truth to that, something must have went wrong somewhere. Wouldn't be a good look, if true, after 5 months.

Saw a rumor (pinch of salt) on Facebook that Lutz has been sacked

Sigh. Horrific news to wake to. This club has well and truly taken on the banter baton.

I don't like Dumbarton.

FFS, the only good thing about this daft appointment is that he will be fired in a few months.

Having two forwards including in the starting 11 does not mean you play with two forwards. We can have any number of forwards on the pitch but fuck me they never seem to be in the box and don't get me started on inverted wingers
