If Calderwood were to leave...

[Guest Nellie The Don]

I think sash should get a go.

[Harcus]

Not convinced by anyone currently employed as a manager in Scottish football.

 

For me, Nicholl or Black.

[Sharpie]

Bruce Rioch. Has been in for the job before. Has done a great job in Denmark since.

My two preferred choices. Probably Nicholl as he's already on the pay roll and he seems like a decent bloke. Have we lost under him when he's been in charge of the team?

Did he not get the tin tack from Aalborg?

If JC was to leave, I'd rather have a clean sweep and totally start a fresh with someone from outside.

[wee toon red]

Someone else.

 

As said above, none of the current SPL managers interest me, with the exception of Strachan but that's clearly out of the question.

 

Darren Ferguson would be my ideal choice but even then I'm not sure if it would be a goer.

Fair enough, I think maybe looking at it too finanically influenced. I certainly wouldn't take anyone from any other SPL team. Black it is then

It's not.

 

I don't see why it keeps getting dragged up.

[Harcus]

Black it is then

 

Paul Ince you reckon?

[boboisared]

Eric Black. Can just imagine him trying to play good football. Also having been down in England as coach/assistant manager theres maybe the chance he has some proper mates you can get us some decent players. Seemed to speak sense when i've seen him as a pundit before.

[willie_millers-barmyarmy]

Darren Ferguson, been saying since queen of the south, its time for the second coming!!....

[mizer]

Eric Black with Duncan Shearer as assitant

[Kowalski]

Absolutely, why on earth would anyone want Jimmy Nicholl?

 

Eric Black, Darren Ferguson or Alan Curbishley for me.

[scunnered999]

Couldn't give a fuck at the moment so I've voted for T Butcher! 

[El Padre™]

Why does Eric Black get mentioned every single time we have this discussion? What has he done?

Done a decent job with Motherwell before administration kicked in and had a good timke at Covenrty (I think).

 

EDIT: Also an experienced Assistant Manager.

I would wager that JC is the better manager of the two.

[Kowalski]

Why are Levein, Jefferies, Butcher and Hughes on this list?

Surely we could do better than that?

 

There's no point in binning Calderwood if that is the calibre of replacement that is being bandied about.

[El Padre™]

I'll take Owen Coyle, at least he can win cup matches.

That's a fair shout EP, never thought of him at all.

I reckon he's well out of our price range though. 

[BobbyBiscuit]

I'm not sure, it wouldn't have taken a lot of cash to lure him there in the first place.  Maybe not though.  If you don't ask, you don't get though, do you?

[caledonia]

Willie Miller, knows the club, knows the set-up, already on the payroll.

 

Would love to see him get another chance = LEGEND

[Reekie_Red]

Willie's biggest problem was he was given the task of replacing top quality players who had been the rock in Aberdeen's game for so many years.

 

Now, though, Willie's seen everything that's happened at Aberdeen. He's actually had the balls to stand up in a press interview this week and admit that JC is on his last chance - I'd prefer to hear that than the usual "the manager gets my vote of confidence", which is what we heard from Wiggy about Roy Aitken and Alex Miller right up until the day they were binned.

 

I think of the options in the poll, Willie would be the best for the job, and we wouldn't have to pay any other club a fee for him either.

 

But surely there must be other managers out there that we just haven't thought about who can do the job whilst remaining in our budget.

I honestly don't think he'd take it. Reading his book and certain press stories etc he is not interested in heading back there at all.  I have to say, I'm more than willing to see how it works out with another manager below him, will be interesting to see what they think of him. JC speaks highly of him and he's done well in the main i reckon.
