wokinginashearerwonderland Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 (edited) Next four fixtures: Hearts away - gubbed Celtic home - gubbed again Falkirk home - probable win Rangers away - gubbed once more Edit - If correct with these predictions, I would make that 8 points from a possible 42.

Mason89 Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 Our team is completely shite and out the lot of the bottom 6, they would fancy a relegation battle the least. That said, I think we’ll be alright, mainly because of the head start we’ve got Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/9479-next-manager/page/67/#findComment-279519

As things stand, form suggests the club is sleep walking towards a relegation play off. We don't owe this guy any kind of loyalty or sentiment. Just get someone else FFS. We're not. We're shit, but we ain't finishing second bottom. Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/9479-next-manager/page/67/#findComment-279522

I meant the right thing morally. If we have mutually agreed that he is the right person for the role and he's keen to take it and we have been progressing on that basis, then an "unforeseen" medical issue has arisen, I am comfortable that giving him the time and space to deal with whatever it is, is the right thing to do, even if it impacts on short term results and performances. 3 1 Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/9479-next-manager/page/67/#findComment-279523

Yes, absolutely I know you meant morally but I totally disagree. Sounds heartless but his medical issues ain't really our problem. Horneland is not a long serving Dons employee who we should feel like we have some kind of obligation to. We should just be moving on to the next person down the list. It's not exactly Carlo Ancelotti we are talking about here. Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/9479-next-manager/page/67/#findComment-279531
Bukta Bertie Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 It's easy to weedle out the xenophobes on this thread. It's abundantly clear that for some small-minded types only a Scottish manager will be welcome. Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/9479-next-manager/page/67/#findComment-279533
Ajja Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 If the club feel he is the right person for the role (let’s trust for a second they know what they’re doing) then I’d say it makes sense to wait as long as there is belief that it will eventually happen. I’m not keen on a knee jerk change of direction to make the back end of this season feel less shit. Suspect (fucking hope) there are two many teams between us and 11th and points gap is enough that we are safe. I also think cup games will take care of themselves, players look like they have a different attitude there and are up for defending it. I’ve got a good feeling about that one, managerless or not. 1 Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/9479-next-manager/page/67/#findComment-279534

I suspect it’s more the collective ‘once bitten’ feeling we all have after Thelin flattered to deceive. The tendancy after a foreign manager failure is to revert back to what feels familiar.

Jupiter Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 Where has this rumour of Horneland having a medical problem come from? Is it some crazy internet conspiracy theory ? Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/9479-next-manager/page/67/#findComment-279537
Bukta Bertie Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 Speaking of managers. What are we thinking about the behaviour of Alex Ferguson in recent years? It's quite clear he holds no special place in his heart for Aberdeen. I'd even say he forgot about us as soon as he arrived in Manchester. The fact he's rarely away from Ibrox and now he even appears to be helping Hearts out tomorrow adequately demonstrates the absolute folly of worshipping and in particular erecting statues of players and managers. WE are the club. Not them. They're just employees passing through. Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/9479-next-manager/page/67/#findComment-279538

If you cross correlate football fans of any club and the internet unfortunately you’ll find that. For some clubs, a prevalence of it. Fortunately, this forum appears to have avoided such types, probably due to the low volumes. 1 Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/9479-next-manager/page/67/#findComment-279545

I haven’t seen evidence of what you are calling out on here. I choose to read and post because it doesn’t. Sure it’s slow at times but views are generally measured and respectful.

OrlandoDon Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 Surprised there’s not been more said about Ian Burchnall, anyone been able to connect the dots between him and horneland?

Apparently they haven't worked together but that's not to say he hasn't been highly recommended to Horneland by a friend who had worked with him while he was in Norway. Docherty? I'd absolutely like to see him kept on in the coaching team. Leven no chance. Get rid. Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/9479-next-manager/page/67/#findComment-279553
