DC interview and q+a

[manc_don]

Scheduled for the 16th. Anyone planning on submitting any questions? I imagine they’ll be highly selective

Thinking about it. Question about relationship with Atlanta how holding a player like Hernandez benefits Aberdeen.

Genuinely, I’d love to see someone ask that question. Along with whatever our signing strategy (or lack of) appears to be. Doesn’t seem to have a direction to it.

[Kowalski]

The Q&A has been binned. 

[manc_don]

a) I'm amazed they had confirmed it in the first place

b) It looks pathetically weak to cancel it.

Guess there are only so many varieties of Hernandez / style of play / sack McInnes you can read.

[Jute]

Bit gutted this is off as would have interesting to get the details behind the figures mentioned in statement tonight.

There will be even more uproar when Atlanta foist Stephen Glass on us as our new head coach in the summer. 

[LA-Don]

I think canceling or rescheduling is for the best. As much as many want answers about many things, this would be a damaging meeting for mcinnes. And damaging for cormack where he’d have to either ignore questions or be very defensive, plus be careful not to say things that upset mcinnes at a crucial stage of the season. We’re right in the middle of a euro qualification fight, that should be the main focus.

[Kirkcaldy Don]

Another gutless decision, why plan this then cancel it? Sometimes the truth hurts. 

DC will more than likely get his answers with season ticket/dna sales.

Just another slap in the face to the fans, whose opinions clearly do not matter.

[Jute]

Not cancelled now just postponed.
 

Cynic in me suspects it’s postponed until we win a few games.

This isn’t the time for this type of thing. The team is shit right now and all that will result is challenging questions directed towards both mcinnes and cormack, animosity, argument etc., when finishing the league as best possible should be the only focus. No change in leadership will happen until the summer, if at all. There’s no clearing the air right now, DM has a few games to save his job but cormack won’t say that. Even the Hernandez signing is questionable but that can get clarity later, doesn’t need to be now. What are the benefits to having this meeting now???

[Elgindon]

Agreed. Some amount of pant pishing elsewhere and on social media

I think they could still have held it but made it clear that the questions were only to be on the club’s financial position. To announce they were doing it then to withdraw it then change it from cancelled to postponed just makes the leadership of the club look weak and indecisive.
