Alfie Bavidge with hatrick for U19s earlier.

Confirmed until end of season.

Warnock allegedly looking to bring in one of his ex players. https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/sport/football/aberdeen-fc/6375990/aberdeen-weigh-up-move-for-canada-international-junior-hoilett/ Not played since September so going to be well off match fitness.

Tom Ritchie out on loan to Buckie Thistle.

3-1 now. Ex Don Mason Hancock with the assist. He has played well so far.

Ferguson was captain.

Tomasson won league twice with Malmo and 44% of his games at Blackburn (above Warnock’s average 40% win ratio) so would have been worth considering but given he is allegedly getting the Swedish international gig next I suspect that ship has sailed. https://www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/11676/13067307/blackburn-rovers-john-eustace-expected-to-take-over-as-manager-after-jon-dahl-tomasson-exit Warnock is the darling of the English talk shows and soccer Saturday so hardly unfashionable. I just do not get the benefit of brining him in does.

Because to win the cup up here you usually have to beat one of if not both the weegie bigots. The financial gap between us and them is very similar to the gap between Warnock’s teams in top flight and bigger teams down there so think his record in those sort of games is relevant. I am sure Warnock will win games against the dross up here but not enough to catch Hearts. Plenty of others could have done that possibly even Leven as we have a number of decent players. Just think we are paying for him to tick off something on his bucket list that isn’t really doing anything to benefit us in the long term.

I dislike Warnock as a person especially when you look beyond the fluff pieces his pals in the press write about him. Also his record is actually not that great. His better results have been in lower leagues in England but even then he’s only ever won one league title and never won a cup. His top flight record in England is poor only winning 24% of of matches and getting sacked or relegated each time. I just don’t get why so many seem to think someone who spent vast majority of his career in lower leagues in England will suddenly be a winner in our league. His interviews remind me very much of the ones that got folk (including me at the time) wanting Strachen to be Scotland manager. They are funny at first but then become embarrassing. Lastly as Rico says above I can’t see where he fits with our supposed strategy. Just seems to be a waste of time and money.

Would love to see us win the cup but not sure how a lower league joker from England who’s never won the cup in his career is going to suddenly do that. With Tlg on this quicker this season is over and Warnock fucks off back to England with a pile of our money the better.

Nations League fixtures announced. No Saturday home games is a bit shit. Group itself is okay while games will be difficult think we have a chance of doing well.

Saw Bonnyrigg play Elgin on Tuesday and while they look a better side than Clyde they looked pretty limited and we should be winning this easily at home. A side we would have beaten even with Robson in charge. Might have been harder if we were playing away from home as the slope on their pitch has to be seen to be believed.

After window closes we announce a new head of recruitment. https://www.afc.co.uk/2024/02/06/badlan-checks-in-at-pittodrie/?fbclid=IwAR1jSXdg2nWuUoFnLYBhp0EVfXB6cXO_V2OTX8SFMJiz6s7WKFt2lwjdfq8

Athlete not a footballer and a red card waiting to happen. ETA - This is a quick first impression as lad has not had chance to adapt to game up here.

Can I suggest comedy clubs if you want a laugh rather than us employing a lower league manager like Warnock’ for his banter filled press conferences.

Would expect us to line up same as Saturday but would maybe drop Phillips and start Clarkson in more forward like he was in second half. Fully expect us to lose. Not going as I wouldn’t give these cunts the steam of my piss never mind £35. oot work local game Flat 2-0 no dons scorer.

Movement to create the space by Miovski was brilliant then the run and finish were just standard Miovski. First half was a terrible watch. To go entire first half without touching the ball in their penalty area was brutal. Second half improvement was nothing to do with Leven and everything to do with me fucking off out at halftime. No need to thank me.

Bringing in Warnock and consultants is just chucking away money that we could be spending on the squad this summer. As Rico said are the consultants really going to tell Cormack it’s his choices of Director of Football and Chief exec that are part of the problem. I seriously doubt it. Warnock is just in it for the cash and will say whatever he thinks will keep the money coming in. His record is always spun positively by the media because he’s good for a quote and interview when in fact his record is not that great at all. A lot of emphasis on his promotions from lower leagues and his relegations from top flight completely ignored. I really just don’t get why we are doing this.

Warnock surely cannot be considered even as an interim appointment. Teams don’t play the style we are looking to implement, no knowledge or experience of Scottish football and will likely cost a fortune.

4-5-1 I think with same issue before as zero width.

Lennon would guarantee my finding something else to do on a Saturday until he inevitably crashed and burned. McCabe would be an interesting shout if he had been at Airdrie longer and and maybe got them promoted but at the moment think it’s too early for him. After winning the Euros this summer Clarke will want a tilt at winning World Cup so can’t see it being him.

One of my concerns over appointing an interim manager is that it puts us behind for summer recruitment. We need to get the new manager in now so as he can review existing squad and start working as soon as possible with recruitment team on identifying targets for the summer.
