BobbyBiscuit Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 I'm still surprised that McGhee is even a candidate for the Tim job. Any roads, surely if he wants to go there and they wanted him, then they'd have him by now? He must be 5th or 6th choice and the ones in front of him are being whittled away... looks like Martinez has turned them down along with Coyle and most probably Mowbray. According to the Guardian yesterday, Levein is ahead of McGhee in their preferences too. Quote
Superstar Tradesman Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 So we might end up with Celtic's 6th choice manager if someone marginally less shit than him takes up the offer. C'mon you reds. No, seriously, c'mon. That for me is enough reason for him to be scored from the list in my eyes. Quote
Penfold Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Posted June 3, 2009 As the search for a replacement for Jimmy Calderwood continues, Pittodrie Director of Football Willie Miller is assuring Dons fans that everything possible is being done to make sure the new manager is in place as soon as is practical. "I can completely understand that fans are becoming frustrated as time moves on and, believe me, I share that frustration. However, obviously we could not even begin the task of finding someone until after the end of the season as both Jimmy and myself had agreed the first priority was to clinch a return to Europe and we did not want anything to divert from that focus by anything coming out before the Hibs game. "After our place in the Europa Cup was achieved, we have spent the subsequent ten days pulling out all of the stops to ensure no time has been wasted but the simple fact is, these things do take a bit of time. "The fact there are several senior vacancies up for grabs at present has probably not helped either, particularly when quite a few names are being linked with several positions at the same time. "I know patience is not something that sits easily in football but that really is the message right now. The fact nobody has been appointed yet has not affected plans for the new season in that we are currently finalising our pre-season plans and the players are all aware of what is expected of them in terms of fitness levels on their return. "I am working flat out to finalise matters and as soon as I have done that, we will be in a position to make an announcement ahead of what I am confident will be an exciting era for the Club. Until that time however, I do urge all supporters to be patient although I know it's not easy!" I think that pretty much confirms McGhee. MMGMG Must Go Quote

Kowalski Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/north_east/8080922.stm Aberdeen director of football Willie Miller has said he is "pleasantly surprised" by the interest to succeed manager Jimmy Calderwood. He said there have been "dozens of applications" from home and abroad, including the Faroe Islands. They include several former Aberdeen players. Motherwell manager Mark McGhee and Wigan assistant Eric Black, both former Dons strikers, are among the favourites to take over at Pittodrie. Craig Levein is also fancied by bookmakers. Severin?

Superstar Tradesman Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 I would have thought more along the lines of the current Peterhead manager. Although Simmie would really add some spice to Hun games. Quote
Penfold Posted June 5, 2009 Author Report Posted June 5, 2009 Apparently Original 106 are reporting that an "offer has been made" to our new management team. Ties in nicely with Northsound earlier reporting that Celtic are due to announce their new manager today. Quote

Penfold Posted June 5, 2009 Author Report Posted June 5, 2009 McGhee's odds have falen quite a bit on betfair and he is now favourite...for the Celtic job. Quote
dave_min Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 Craig Robertson apparently. Who? I'll go sharpen the pitchfork, just incase. Quote
Ajja Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 McGhee's odds have falen quite a bit on betfair and he is now favourite...for the Celtic job. Great. So because Celtic's credibility has dropped through the floor and nobody wants the gig then our plans have to be thrown into a shitstorm. Fucking OF are always at the trough hoovering it up and no other fucker gets a look in. Quote
Ajja Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 Northsound reporting Celtic making an offer and McGhee not likely to be in the frame ? Quote
Azteca1903 Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 If the last two weeks has taught us anything, it's that nae cunt has a clue about who's doing what on what day. Maybe we should talk about something else until this all blows over. Quote

BigAl Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 Craig Robertson apparently. Taking the piss Quote
BigAl Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 McGhee's odds have falen quite a bit on betfair and he is now favourite...for the Celtic job. Wonder what those involved in the Dingus wankfest are making of this Quote
Ajja Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 Wonder what those involved in the Dingus wankfest are making of this Surely all it means is that there has been a rush on the bookies betting for him. It snatural that would happen if the main targets are knocking Celtic back. Doesn't mean they necessarily want McGhee. Quote

As ever the voice of reason and probably spot on Ajja, but can think of certain individuals on other sites who could end up with massive amounts of egg plastered all o'er their coupons Quote

It snatural that would happen if the main targets are knocking Celtic back. Doesn't mean they necessarily want McGhee. In two days though he has fallen from 30/1 to favourite, an awful lot of cash must have been placed within the last 24 hours, infact, he was still at 10s this lunchtime. Quote
Montana Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 I read in the Sun that John Collins missed out on the French jobs he was applying for. Wonder if he is one of the people WM was referring too as being in the midst of current speculation.. Quote

minijc Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 What are they making of this news on AFMcGheeChat Mini? Check for yourself, it's hard to say really, I am happy as fuck as I now really dislike Mcghee for the way he has treated this, others are gutted and some are still thinking we can get him yet if we don't he'll still be their red eyed boy.

BigAl Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 What are they making of this news on AFMcGheeChat Mini? Certainly not 100% support for McGhee by the looks of it. Quote
