The league placing is irrelevant, that's just polishing a turd. We were awful last season, we've been poor for three seasons, it's why fans wanted McInnes gone. Aberdeen's performances were bottom six standard. That the other clubs didn't take advantage is their own issue. "You make it sound like he inherited a total shambles." He did. He took over a team that couldn't score, couldn't create, couldn't defend, were being laughed at by fans of other clubs for the boring displays they put in, had no real desire or fight in the team, had games cancelled because players couldn't give a toss about breaking rules their manager put in place, and had a big rebuilding job this summer due to so many being out of contract. We were a shambles. And I think people are underestimating the job that Glass has already done before a ball is kicked. He's changed the whole coaching structure, signed six players, and already is dealing with both injuries (McCrorie at centre half surely isn't his first choice), disruption to pre-season with games cancelled, and one of his players handing in a transfer request. Aberdeen could finish in a European spot next season and still be a team in transition. We're not going to finish sixth, simply because the rest of the league isn't good enough. A poor Celtic still comfortably finished second. I'm judging us, and the performance of Glass, by our own performances, not about how many more points than St Mirren we pick up.
