Twenty six years ago this month to be exact. Didn't remember that he was actually "interim" manager through until the end of that season. Do remember that he had a shite record as Aberdeen manager although not as bad as Sheerin who had a 100% loss percentage as Aberdeen manager. Sheerin of course being assistant @ Killie will be the connection to Ramsay. Quote

Sheerin of course being assistant @ Killie will be the connection to Ramsay. Aye, Hegarty had a shite record, but I remember thinking some of the fitba we played under him was okay and I was surprised that he didn't do much in management beyond that. McInnes talked about Ramsay on a few occasions as Dons manager, he was clearly very aware of him but had [justified] loyalty to Logan. I think he would have featured in the Dumbarton game at least if McInnes had stayed on, but he was fairly conservative with the young lads for the Dons more generally, which was frustrating at times. Did we only have two young players (Wright and McKenna) come through under McInnes (obviously Ferguson was young, but was bought in)? I'm struggling to think of another. I guess Campbell got plenty of minutes, but I always felt that we clogged our squad with average journeymen that required placating before the youngsters. I'd say that even Wright was given a fairly raw deal under McInnes. Quote
manc_don Posted January 13 Author Report Posted January 13 From memory, wasn’t McKenna a forced inclusion? I.e, someone was injured and was forced to play him? His record with youth was horrendous, easily my biggest criticism of him. 1 Quote

His record with youth was horrendous, easily my biggest criticism of him. I think that the McKenna thing was overplayed to criticise him to be honest. McKenna got in because we were shite at the back and he continued with him after he performed. McKenna himself was very complimentary on McInnes' input and the confidence he showed in him. 1 Quote
Reekie_Red Posted January 13 Report Posted January 13 I think the only homegrown youth Deek ever showed time for was Connor McLennan and Bruce Anderson. Even then the latter was only really a late sub. Even Wright never really flourished until the Glass/Goodwin era, as IIRC McInnes farmed him out to Dundee Quote

And Orlando will be here in 5….4…..3 I've heard plenty of Dons fans question Shinnie's technical abilities, and I'd say that Campbell falls into that same boat, but was generally worse. A scrappy midfielder who puts himself about basically. Killian Phillips reminds me of him, Phillips being less experienced but bigger. I suspect he'd do well for utd, but I think he'd be a step backward for us if we're continuing to play the way Thelin wants. He'd have been a great signing under Robson or Goodwin. 2 Quote

I wanted Campbell before we signed palaversa, so between sivert shinnie palaversa and polvara, I don’t think Campbell raises our level. I actually think we need a creative 10 to fill the space between the holding mids and forward, and I think gueye could be that guy. If we do insist on signing a central midfielder I’d be good with the Dundee lad. With Mikey Johnson up top. Quote
Jute Posted February 2 Report Posted February 2 Hearts allegedly signing Harry Milne from Partick. Again apologies for the source. Vaguely remember we kicked the tires on him when he was at Cove. Decent left back and might have made a good replacement for Mackenzie in the summer. Quote

Vaguely remember we kicked the tires on him when he was at Cove. Decent left back and might have made a good replacement for Mackenzie in the summer. Strange one if true. I've seen him a few times on the telly, and he never really stood out, without looking terrible either. I was under the impression that he hadn't significantly kicked on from his Cove days. I guess as back up for penrice it's not a terrible signing. Quote
BigAl Posted February 3 Report Posted February 3 Will initially be back up for Penrice, but given he is Hearts most valuable asset, I suspect they might fancy turning a quick buck on him come the summer Quote

RicoS321 Posted February 8 Report Posted February 8 Camerhun gets his first goal in a Hun shirt for Dundee. Massive gads to having a Hun playing for yer side. Where are the Dundee fans booing fuck out the lad? I just assumed that Dundee would be raging. Are they really that obsequious? Quote
