Need to get Lutz out first, a wrecking ball appointment made out of sheer panic

Okay. Having calmed down and slept on it this is where I'm at. I was being an over positive fool to expect us to win easily last night and for us to finish sixth or seventh. I now see finishing in a play off place is possible though I still view it as unlikely. I do worry that we lack the players who can roll up their sleeves and get stuck in if it comes to a battle but ultimately I think we'll stay up but it isn't a cast iron certainty and it's as much about other teams being worse than us than us being a good side. Do I still want a head on a platter? Yes I'm afraid I do. Leven has to go ASAP. If he has any sense of honour he'll resign but the way contacts work and the fact he's a Hun make that highly unlikely. Docherty would then take over his role. Not ideal but it's the best option available. I don't want us to be rushed into appointing any old manager just because he's available. Horneland or Schwarz would be mental to take the job on and I'm now highly doubtful if they'll still be interested. Put yourselves in their shoes. Would you really want to take over at a club that's the top to bottom basket case Aberdeen are just now? I suspect it's now far more likely it'll be a Scot taking over as manager. Yesterday again we played some good football but it was only for about ten minutes. That's no use to man nor beast. Our players are far too soft, lazy and they just don't appear overly fussed about losing despite the performative sad and upset faces at the end. Having players with that mindset and allowing them to continue playing for our great club indicates to me there are serious problems that start from higher up than coaching level. Where's their personal pride if nothing else? Lutz can bugger off. Ideally Cormack would go too. It stands to reason the likes of Garner, Burrows and the rest of those types should go as well if that unlikely scenario were to pass. It's a totally new start we need. A "reset" the millennials would call it. New broom sweeps clean. Players I'd be fussed about leaving are few although I believe several of them could definitely perform well under the proper management but they'd need to sort out their mentality. I really have little enthusiasm left for the remaining games. The life has been sucked out of me by last nights disgrace (I rate it alongside Darvel as a humiliation) but I'm sure by the time the Falkirk game comes around last night will have been put behind us, it'll be business as usual and we'll all be up for it raring to go again. We're fans it's what we do.

The club is a mess, what are the CEO & DOF doing. If we end up 10th in the league it will be a bonus at this rate.

I'm afraid it does. Well it did I've been away for a while. I have witnessed it firsthand at a couple of the larger oil service companies. The Northeast doesn't do sectarian sh1te but plenty of senior managers and recruiters are from the central belt.

I’m only saying tony doc because I think he’s a better option than leven. Maybe gets us one or two more wins but that matters. Don’t see us getting a legit manager until summer so it’s our best option.

Him still being at the club is wrong. Him having any say in the direction of the club is very wrong. I wouldn't let the him within the city boundaries, never mind Pittodrie.

We want a 'good' manager. We need a 'good' manager. Unfortunately, no manager with even a little sense is going to touch us at the moment. Stuff all this nonsense of nobody until summer, as that's all it is. Media being fed shit from Lutz and Cormack.

Yes as much as I have a lot of time for Tony Doc, he's not someone who, given the goals against for Dundee and Ross Co, is the person the car crash we are at the moment

I only got there are half-time because I was working at the rugby. Met my mates, stayed for half an hour, and we decided to leave with 15 minutes to go. Value for money, would do it again. Even in that little time, I saw too much. Every throw in, we threw it back the way towards the centre halves so they could improve their passing stats. Every pass in the final third had to go wide to Keskinen, who Dunfermline just closed down. Too easy. Have no idea why people (more than one) on this board think Tony Docherty should be interim manager. Go look at his appalling spell at Ross County. What we need is a permanent manager. Preferably a good one.

I’m no fan of Stewart Milne but I think we are hugely wide of the mark if we think he’s to blame for the current shambles.

Binning McInnes now looks like a monumental mistake.

Watching highlights. First goal, both players off when the cross comes in but defender heads it and it drops to the scorer. If they're not interfering he didn't have to head it. Offside is a fucking joke these days

I don’t know where to begin with that. Team was reasonably close to one I woukd have picked with only Milanovic being one I would not have started and boy was he shite.Was wrong about Frames lack of defensive ability not causing us issues it did. Felt we were complete ineffective in middle of park. Cameron was particularly bad. I actually think we have got worse lsince sacking Thelin.

Did you have an Aberdeen flag? Thought I saw one on red tv at the end in the pars end,

I don’t think we’ll get someone now. Managers are not given time, that’s modern football. We have an awful squad with no confidence. What gain does the new guy have coming now, versus in the summer when he builds a squad and gets a preseason? I truly believe that if we want a ‘good’ manager, we’ll need to wait until summer.

Easy to get there, nice ground in a good location, and easy to get home from. Shame about the fitba.

Milne is a shareholder. That's why he's there. If someone buys his shares then he won't be.

The embarrassing articles in the EE, by the fat postie, who would sing Milnes praises and paint a very bleak picture of where we would be without him. Sad times indeed.

And they'll all say when they're featured in the match day programme "As soon as I heard Aberdeen were interested it was a no-brainer" meaning they'll pay me shed loads of dosh and I really don't have to give a fuck.

I am not fussed where the new manager comes from but we need someone now not once we are relegated. Why are we so inclined to wait and procrastinate when our fortunes are plummetting? To get the right man? Experience tells us that is unlikely and we be as well put faces on a dartboard and blindfold our niaive chairman. Better chance of success that way.

We are a complete shambles from top to bottom and it’s so sad to see. We need a manger in ASAP. On a brighter note I managed to avoid the Smiths tribute act in Drummonds.

As I was in the home end I didn’t get any loyalty points today. But I now have a semi final to look forward to with my Pars supporting sons. Last May seems a long long time ago now!

Wrexham v Chelsea looks to have been quite a match.

You want a Scottish manager. Fair enough. I get it. You may well get your wish as I can't see Horneland or Schwarz wanting it after the debacle tonight. They'd be mental to come here.

Yes but from what I gather it's been smoke and mirrors. Cash actually directly out of his own Shoebox would be far less than 15 million.
