I doubt that I would come from the same genetic and environmental background as a sick cunt who invoked the wife of another in an attempt to be funny (or in attempted provocation?) on a forum designed for those with common interests to enjoy. You should check out the hat. You'll find your brothers there.

Milne didn't only appoint a string of many useless managers, he threw the chequebook at the current inept cunt. DNA was his last scheme to steal money from the customers. His first one was the PLC shares scheme, followed by the rights issue years later. These schemes netted millions. I lost money in the first shares issue, as 3,000 of us did but I knew at the time I was making an emotional investment, not a financial one and I could afford it. The only benefit we were supposed to be getting was priority for tickets but he took that away from us later, not that it matters any more as the product isn't worth watching. But as Dubya famously said, "fool me once, but I won't be buying your hershey bars the next time", or something similar. DNA was a disgrace and an affront to the club's history, a capitalist "market-driven" move that an American might be proud of, if they had the wherewithal to see the bigger picture.

The only straws that I can see are the ones you are clutching at. DNA was a cynical ploy to exploit the fans. It was stealing from the most loyal customers. It's not one game. It's many years, coming up to a whole decade. Either you understand that McInnes is no use or you can't see it. It was because of the blindness of too many Aberdeen fans that Calderwood lasted as long as he did and McInnes is still failing and flailing. The same blindness failed to see the damage that Milne did to the club. It's not like you weren't warned for TWENTY FIVE FUCKING YEARS!

Giving results for exams that weren't taken was always going to be problematic. No surprise the SQA are getting pelters. I suspect the people in charge are like the administrators we have in charge of football in Scotland, totally unfit for purpose.

Yes wankers, charlatans and fucked up people are everywhere. No argument there. It's the breed of wanker who has limited talent but who has benefitted from a better income than they might have got in the real world who I was referring to, manifesting itself in snobbery and delusions of superiority. Born Foresterhill, live within a short drive of Aberdeen but 15 years overseas and 11 years elsewhere in Scotland gives a non-insular perspective of my home city, to which we returned 15 years ago. We have the same proportion of wankers as anywhere, including some unique traits bespoke to us, mostly born from parochialism.

Coincidentally there were a couple of programmes on TV last night that are relevant to this debate. The profile of Klopp (Germany's greatest export ?) on C4 was sycophancy in the extreme but brought up some very interesting angles. Brian Clough was highlighted in some ITV sport thing later where Roy Keane described him as the best manager he'd ever played for. The role of the football manager demands that he (not she, the PC woke equality brigade can fuck right off) knows the game, can spot a player and inspires them to overachieve. On all basic counts, McInnes fails. He doesn't connect with winners, never having been one himself and he is never going to be one. His personality is all wrong. He has cultivated a "tv persona" that comes across as articulate and professional but this is a contrivance to disguise his inadequacies and to further his selfish agenda. This is why some use the word charlatan. He's a prize charlatan and he recruits people like him (losers) or people who will like him who won't be difficult to manage (losers).

There are other forums people can use. Two types in particular I've noticed in the last couple of days. Posts like these, a fabrication from a warped and slightly disturbed mind, can be repeated often enough and then you can start to believe it. The other is to drop a bomb in the room and then run away like a little girl, ignoring a direct request to back it up. These sort of posters drag down forums and you end up like that penis Bebo's abortion site where the bottom feeders become the majority and drown out the good guys.

I don't think you do understand why some people want shot of the cunt. How many chances do you want to give the useless midget hun fuck? Your flowery management consultancy spik doesn't detract from the ONLY issue; is he fit for purpose or not? This of course depends on what the purpose actually is and as we discovered from the AFC aspirations thread, none of you have the imagination or the fucking balls to even try to achieve something, in your case citing boo hoo hoo, the OF have got more money than us and the SPFL, the SFA and the refs are all conspiring against us so it's a rigged game. Pathetic.

That doesn't surprise me. It's because I have never heard anyone recommend it that I've never been. Plus it's a part of NE Scotland I'm not particularly fond of. Cults, Culter and Banchory = wannabe wankers.

The eat out to help out initiative is a win. Tons of places to choose from - check out the government website and put in a postcode - and fill your boots. We are just back from dinner and are using it to go back to places we haven't been in ages or having lunch at somewhere different. Monday to Wednesdays only throughout August.

He went for other interviews since he came to AFC. He didn't relocate his family and to the best of my knowledge, still hasn't. What man wants to be be parted from his children for more than half of their years growing up? There must have been good reason... in his head. Whatever his ambitions were and are is irrelevant. The ONLY thing that matters is whether he is fit for purpose or not. Your "going stale" and "run out of ideas" suggests that he was a good manager once upon a time. As I predicted with Calderwood when he was an embarrassment to AFC, this cunt will NEVER succeed in management post-AFC and arguably, had achieved even less than Calderclown before he got here. I don't care for your arguments as to how good he had been at Aberdeen at some point in the past. The results don't lie. Failing to beat Ronnie Deila was his biggest crime. In a shit league for most of the last decade with only one club to compete against until the emergence of a new club (who themselves are trophyless in their short-assed history), he has been a failure as a manager and he is a failure as a human being.

Great question TW. There was no dialogue (that I can remember) about SAF getting another job until 1986 when he moved. Certainly never at the start. He had been sacked by St Mirren and he threw himself into the AFC manager role, relocating his family here, going to watch as much football as possible, scouting locally most days of the week etc. After seven years - which were freaky good of course - he was more than ripe to progress his career and became the most successful manager of all time in many of our opinions. I think you are totally right to point out that McInnes and McGhee had eyes beyond AFC from day one, not that either of them were made of the right stuff to actually succeed in management.

The description of him as a charlatan in the OP is 100% correct. It is unreal to me that many can't see this. Standards are in rapid freefall, including the ethics and the perceptions of the masses. James Corden to "entertainment" and Boris Johnson to public service are as charlatan in their fields as the bearded midget is to football management and yet they're all getting a gig. The further tragedy is AFC fans making excuses for him or making futile arguments to somehow mitigate his severe - I would say fatal - limitations. It's like they can't take responsibility for their own stupidity and are in total denial. Talk of McInnes and the Scotland job is pathos in the extreme It's not rocket science. Employ the right people in the right positions. McInnes has never been a good manager and never will be.

Inverurie for a staycation? I like the boy. He's always popular with folk he meets. Very good presenter.

13 folk tested positive from the Hawthorn Bar so we can look forward to a local lockdown now. Great.

No. I've been a shareholder for a quarter of a century and went to @ 750 games home and away over six decades until I jacked it in December 2018 after the Celtic game at Pittodrie. I gave up on AFC because of Milne and before he jacked it. The terrible managers that he recruited made it a progressively worsening situation over the whole of this century and I had had enough.

I said this during the warm up. Freddo was carrying excess weight and looked like a fat bastard. He played like a fat bastard and he is a fat bastard. Who's mother is a mattress. And probably a fat cunt to boot.

It's a sick sick situation, and it's getting more and more absurd. It's sad, so sad. When an employer is tied to an employee who is not fit for purpose then that's a needless and tragic position to find themselves.

It's simple. You have defenders, you have goal scorers and you have something in between. The in between is rather important. Without a midfield, it's impossible to turn defence into attack. AFC don't have anyone in the middle of the park who can make things happen. This is because the manager is a clueless bearded hun fuck.

Ojo was fucking shite.

Oh dear, the Brig o Don my least favourite part of the NE. No, my least fav part of the world. Happy Yorkshire day everyone.

Is this the real Millertime or just a poor imitation?

Is this a private joke or is it because he's such a magnanimous and popular personality that he's always being invited to BBQ's? Or is this what he presents to others?

Jeez, where did this come from? I know their manager is a horrible wee shite but I know nothing of their finances and the ownership. I'm sure your bitter resentment towards them comes from something so I would be interested to learn what specifically?

Agreed. Real Madrid are a horrible club. I put them in the same bracket as Rangers and Man U. It is their fans who define them, blind in their loyalty and totally divorced from reality. The Bernabeu is an impressive stadium but I could smell the arrogance that pervades every brick. It's a conundrum that I love their current manager who may well go on to be one of the best of all time. I'm not sure he would have the heart to manage anyone else though and may well take them to the very top.
