Reekie_Red Posted November 27, 2007 Report Posted November 27, 2007 If JC were to be offered the Derby job ... or even the Scotland job ... and he left ... Who would be your ideal choice of replacement (serious ideas ... ie nae Mourinho!) Quote
Reekie_Red Posted November 27, 2007 Author Report Posted November 27, 2007 Eric Black or Mark McGhee Why? Quote
Kowalski Posted November 27, 2007 Report Posted November 27, 2007 Why? McGhee seems to be doing a good job with very limited resources. Eric Black's stock must be increasing. He's gaining great experience in the premiership recently. Also, they are realistic appointments IMHO. There won't be many top class managers who want the Dons job. Quote
BigAl Posted November 27, 2007 Report Posted November 27, 2007 Eric Black or Mark McGhee One of the aforementioned, and I'd take the boy from Hamilton Accies as assistant. Quote
vanderark14 Posted November 27, 2007 Report Posted November 27, 2007 Eric Black for me but with the premiership the way it is money wise. theres not a chance in hell of gettin him. Quote
bilbobaggins Posted November 27, 2007 Report Posted November 27, 2007 Before he went mental I had a liking for what Mike Newell was doing daarn saarf. I think he knows the club and the pressures and expectations. I don't think he is persona non grata up here like he is in England and has a lot to prove. So , yeah, his work for male/female relations aside. Mike Newell. Quote
Madbadteacher Posted November 27, 2007 Report Posted November 27, 2007 Dour faced he may be but Jim Jeffries seems to ken fit he's deein' Quote
Drew Peacock Posted November 27, 2007 Report Posted November 27, 2007 Mark McGhee without a shadow of a doubt. Had my doubts in the past, but everytime i hear him interviewed he impresses me. That, and he's turned motherwell from relegation fodder into a team that playing some really good football whilst getting resuts, and he doesn't seem to feel the need to change that style based on the opposition. Incidentally, Thats not a slur on Jimmy Calderwood despite those being things that have been the basis of criticism levelled at him in his time at Aberdeen, as i think he's done a fantastic job with us. JC won't go anywhere, but if he does, McGhee would be a brilliant appointment IMO. Quote
Guest Nellie The Don Posted November 27, 2007 Report Posted November 27, 2007 Supposing JC left, but McLeish didn't go to Birmingham, why not offer it to McLeish/Watson/Aitken on the basis that they didn't have to give up Scotland. Surely the three of them could handle both jobs between them? Quote

Mentorred Posted November 27, 2007 Report Posted November 27, 2007 Talking of Black just saw this on BBC.CO.UK: Caretaker boss Black quits Blues Birmingham caretaker manager Eric Black has quit the club and intends to join boss Steve Bruce at Wigan. Black was assistant to Bruce, who left Birmingham to take over as boss at Wigan last week, and is now set to follow him to the JJB Stadium. Black was in temporary charge at St Andrews for just one game as Birmingham lost 2-0 to Portsmouth on Saturday. A Blues statement said: "He had been here since July 2004 and leaves with the best wishes of all at the club." ****************************************************************************** I can see why we would offer Mcleish and Watson the job but bringing back Aitken???

thomsod Posted November 27, 2007 Report Posted November 27, 2007 mcleish just resigned gonna take the birmingham job. jc maybe to scotland although i think billy davies is more likely to get it. but if we did become managerless for whatever reason, bring in craig brewster!! Quote

Madbadteacher Posted November 28, 2007 Report Posted November 28, 2007 OK McLeish gone. Who's next in line with suitable hun-connections (to satisfy the SFA criteria ) Quote
Drew Peacock Posted November 28, 2007 Report Posted November 28, 2007 OK McLeish gone. Who's next in line with suitable hun-connections (to satisfy the SFA criteria ) A Graeme Souness / Richard Gough "Dream team". Actually, that could happen. What a terrifying thought. Quote
Superstar Tradesman Posted November 28, 2007 Report Posted November 28, 2007 The Special One. Just to stick it up the English. Quote

thomsod Posted November 28, 2007 Report Posted November 28, 2007 yeah was jesting bout brewster!! cant believe mcleish away. it'll be billy davies for scotland with craig brown helping Quote
Reekie_Red Posted November 29, 2007 Author Report Posted November 29, 2007 Instead of utilising the normal Scottish managerial merrygoround ... how about the English one? Surely someone like Venables or ... dare I say ... Redknapp might fit the bill. Venables would make us the media-darlings of the world! Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted November 29, 2007 Report Posted November 29, 2007 Instead of utilising the normal Scottish managerial merrygoround ... how about the English one? Surely someone like Venables or ... dare I say ... Redknapp might fit the bill. Venables would make us the media-darlings of the world! funny you should say that as I'd just read this: "If you want to know why the FAI should not touch Venables with a bargepole, then you only have to look at the way he spent the first half at Wembley against Croatia in the royal box hobnobbing with Britain's Prince William. Remember, England were 2-0 down at the time. But that sums up Venables. An A-List celebrity with his fondness for singing on chat shows but, these days, he's a Z-List manager" - RTE pundit Eamon Dunphy sits resolutely on the fence upon being asked if he'd like to see El Tel appointed as the Republic of Ireland's new manager.

Kowalski Posted December 9, 2007 Report Posted December 9, 2007 Scotland on Sunday is linking us with John Hughes should JC not renew his contract. Quote
Slim Posted December 9, 2007 Report Posted December 9, 2007 John Hughes wouldn't be a bad shout, but Aberdonians in general, are a bit more reserved that other Scottish people and I can't see his 'loveable oaf' personality going down too well. I'd go with Eric Black, he comes across as very articulate and intelligent in interviews and sets his teams to go out and play attractive football. And he seems to have genuine contacts on the continent for finding good cheap foreign players. I've just got a good feeling about the guy. I'd also be more than happy with Mark McGhee as well, and also, to throw another hat into the ring, Terry Butcher. Quote
Harcus Posted December 9, 2007 Report Posted December 9, 2007 Terry Butcher is one game away from sack at Brentford, and totally ballsed things up in Sydney. The only thing he's done is lead Motherwell to mid-table mediocrity in a piss-poor SPL. No thanks. McGhee for me. Quote
