Bottom line is that there is no magic formula or we'd have used it a long time ago. Everything in life carries risk.

Yeah I feel for Robson. The fans love him, cos he is a red through and through, and he really puts his heart and soul into the job. He could win every game outside of the Ugly Sisters matches, but his inexperience will show eventually. If he wants to become a football manager, he needs to go and manage a lower division team asap before the poisoned chalice Pittodrie taints his reputation, which is only a matter of time and inevitability.

Steve Paterson clearly had a decent chauffeur

I agree. I think that comes with money. The Tims undoubtedly play attractive football most of the time whilst playing teams that sit in. They've got guys like Turnbull on their bench. The question is what is the amount of cash you need to spend to get the level of player that can do that consistently? Clarkson is one, he can make those defence splitting passes that get around the problem of defences sitting in. We'd need at least one more of those. Plus a midfielder that can score goals like Lewis Ferguson, and one that can win everything in midfield. Wingers that can not only hit the line and get a cross in, but are capable of 10 goals per season too. A number nine that scores every week. We had all those under McInnes and managed 76 points and scored seven goals in a couple of games. Yet many suggested that football wasn't entertaining. Maybe they weren't. We certainly didn't have the squad depth to play entertaining football every single week.

Be great to see one of Milne’s wigs on display in the museum.
