You’ve taken that too far.

Perfect number of candidates to run the whole thing as a edge-of-the-seat TV reality gameshow - Last Manager Standing. Each round they get a single game each to prove their worth, before fans vote off the least popular to be symbolically driven out of the city in the boot of a taxi, and we go again. The surviving manager gets to manage the Dons in the inevitable Scottish Cup final. A fan phone-in chooses which hand he holds the resulting trophy aloft in. We make a fortune from the global syndication rights, Happe becomes a household name to millions with his own cooking show, and Tobers-mania sweeps the island nation of Tuvalu before descending in a bloody religious civil war as the populace splits into two distinct violent sects ideologically opposed over whether he does, in fact, truly exist. Well, at least it's a strategy.

I was on board with trying to get Clarke in to steady the ship- then you put the notion in that when he moved Steven Naismith could be the one to take over Lets look elsewhere so that scenario never happens 🤣

Italy 3-1 up on France. Been a really good game.

U19s won first game against Kazakhstan 3-1 yesterday. Dylan Ross started and Masson came on as a sub.

Once again, I post on here and the club quickly react. Thanks Lutz pal. I'll always have your back.

The Jam - Down In The Tube Station At Midnight

Stop talking about a strategy and actually fucking implement one? Steve Clarke would smack of an expensive, temporary appointment. A guy who would want a lot of money to get short term results, without developing youth or implementing the attacking philosophy the club keep saying they want. I would accept Clarke IF it was part of some sort of coaching progression, ie a young assistant coming in to work with him, with the long-term plan he takes over. But my fear is Steve Clarke as manager would mean Steven Naismith and John Carver as his coaching team. And they won't be cheap. And we'll be in the same position in 18 months when they get bored. But that said, would probably take that over Raphael Wicky.

I still maintain to this day that Super Mario Kart is the greatest game of all time and a few years ago I actually beat a former world champion in Battle Mode online in a best of 25 match, it ended 13-12 so incredibly close but a victory nonetheless. Earliest gaming memory for me was playing Jumping Jack on the Speccy and I still love going back to it from time to time though once you get to the later levels then it's purely pot luck how much further you get. I now have a gaming collection that is taking over the house, near enough every console you can think of from the Channel F up to Playstation 5 and close to 4000 physical games in total.

If he does appoint Clarke and he signs Grant Hanley in January, then that's me done with fitba.

Seems like the kind of safe appointment I reckon Cormack would go for right now. Big name that would settle a lot of fans, knows the Scottish game (some would argue) and if it doesn't work out Cormack can shrug his shoulders and say 'well, what more can I do?'.

Seems to be a lot of posts about Steve Clarke on social media.

U21 team playing Ukraine earlier. Won 4-0 up with goals from Miller, Wilson x2 and Stewart.

More And More Peado Scandals thread in the Off Topic section for stuff like this 😉

When he was the Huns manager, I actually had to turn down my radio everytime he was being interviewed, as his voice (and him) was grating and annoying!!

If one has a little cock, should they be swinging it in public? Should they be swinging it in public regardless of size. No, keep it in your pants folks!

Cheers. I spend way too much of my working day analysing the financials of other businesses. Although analysing the Dons latest shit shows is slightly less enjoyable than ramming shards of bamboo under your finger nails, I don’t want to merge it with my work too much.

Definitely quite interesting if not a little cock swinging.

The Supremes - In And Out Of Love

Thanks OD, much appreciated. That’s actually better than I expected it to be. Roughly 100% increase in revenue with an equivalent 60% bump in salaries. I guess the unknowns to square the circle are spend on fees which I assume have risen in that period, possibly in a bit of a bell curve with recent figures dropping (see current squad 😞) and also other non-staff expenditure increase To my earlier point, I’m guessing if you remove player sales that looks like a messy picture of sizeable losses. I’m not even going to touch the European income but I’d suggest these should both be seen as added benefits and not expected to keep the lights on.

The accounts don't provide any separation of player wages, but unless we've hired a fleet of tea-ladies, I'd suggest the leap up of £2.5million between the last 2 years is probably a reasonable indicator that we have significantly increased the player bill.
