Aberdeen manager job - what happened?

[Bluethruandthru]

Hope the parochial, vindictive bastards they get the manager they deserve.

 

[Div1872]

Hope they make a mess of the next appointment and get relegated via a play off

 

[104Bear]

Ross County win on Saturday would be glorious.

 

[MickF]

He puts himself in the running for every single job going with the help of the tim media. There was no evidence anywhere to suggest Aberdeen had spoken to him or were interested in doing so. He is absolutely desperate for a job and anytime one becomes available his name is pushed by multiple newspapers and pundits. It only took until the second post for him to get a mention on here. These threads always end up with endless shite about Lennon getting the job.

The OP was of the same opinion hence why he started the thread. Not sure why you would get wound up on a thread about an Aberdeen manager, don’t look at it if you know what’s coming?

Just take it in and enjoy the sheep being miserable.

 

[Crouchy]

When O'Neill was linked was us before Gerrard the talk was a compensation clause of £800,000.

O'Neill still has 4 years to go on this current NI contract. He'd cost them a fortune.

Listening to O’Neill’s comments yesterday, suspect that’s the issue here.

Think he likes the idea of the sheep job, but the money will be too much to buy him out.

 

[Scarface]

Warnock knew it was a lost cause IMO.

Couldn't be arsed with the hassle and decided to walk.

Warnock only wanted the job so that he could have a freebie hospitality day at Ibrox.

TIcked off his bucket list now.

 

[Weedoddieno6]

I’ve a feeling Micheal O’Neill is in the frame for it.

Could be a good shout, thurs/fri this week?

 

[Professor Yaffle]

They were making out a new manager was imminent but were clearly talking pish.

Announce Mark McGhee - they don't deserve any better.

Tims goal difference will be uncatchable should that happen.

 

[paphosranger]

Warnock left as he was told there was no chance of him staying next season.

The new manager in soon that he claimed was why he was leaving was a load of shite.

 

[paphosranger]

They were down the road with the Elfsborg manager, but they messed about and the guy didn't want to leave with just a week before their season began.

Looking very much like Michael O'Neill now.

Could they afford the compo and wages?

 

[MainStandLoyal]

Michael O,Neill has already turned it down

Didn’t speak like he’s turned it down.

 

[Mustang mad]

Michael beale would suit them!

 

[Candyass]

Could they afford the compo and wages?

Probably. He only has just over a year left.

Wouldn't have been their cheapest appointment, they'll need to pay compo for O'Neill, so they definitely have something.

They'd make their money back once they sell miovski

 

[Square it!]

Michael O,Neill has already turned it down

Smart move

 

[Coistysoverheadkick]

Long may their cluelessness reign.

 

[YorkshireBlue]

Wins for Ross County and St Johnstone this weekend would land Aberdeen right in the shit. With the added bonus of denting Dundee's top 6 hopes.

Fingers crossed!

 

[Orange Peel]

If we win the treble and they get relegated I'm going to posh wank myself to death in the garden.

Please live stream this!

 

[atcolin]

He is the one but wanted this international break out the way first was the chat.

 

[spirit_of_93]

Michael O’Neill has said similar things whenever he’s been linked to any job while with NI, he seems to be suggesting people are jumping the gun because he lives in Scotland and went to a St Mirren v Aberdeen game to watch a player.

 

[The Goalie]

Probably. He only has just over a year left.

Wouldn't have been their cheapest appointment, they'll need to pay compo for O'Neill, so they definitely have something.

his contract runs to Euro 2028

 

[Candyass]

his contract runs to Euro 2028

Info I read was wrong, then.

I still think they could've made it work financially if they'd been quick

Michael O'Neill: Northern Ireland reappoint former boss on five-and-a-half year contract

Michael ONeill has returned as Northern Ireland manager on a five-and-a-half year contract; ONeill spent just over nine years in the role between 2011 and 2020; first game for former Stoke City boss will be away to San Marino in a European Championship qualifier in March

[ForGodForCountryForever]

Maybe Aberdeen told Warnock they had someone so he'd quit.

 

[paphosranger]

Maybe Aberdeen told Warnock they had someone so he'd quit.

They told him he wasn't getting the job next season.

 

[Sheamaker]

What happened to the boy Christian Titz that was in the running. Wanted him just for the tabloid headlines

I wasn't talking about O'Neill in either reply mate, I was replying to a guy asking about Thelin.

 

[blueaway]

When Warnick left he said they talked midweek and decided best to bring new manager in now.

I think it was all just to save face. Aberdeen didn't expect to beat Kilmarnock at home in the cup - let that sink in.

They were worried Warnock was taking them down.

Warlock leaving after his first significant victory means all up in the air - it could have been a sign that he was making progress - whether new guy gets in and gets them playing or they need settling in period amounts to what is now a stick or twist scenario with Leven.

It's a car crash.

 

[Sd13]

Be waiting to see if they go down?

 

[Ampersand]

Isn't Leven a massive blue nose from KP?

Sure I worked with his pal back when he was trying to get into the Rangers team.

 

[Artful Dodger]

He realised his dream though mate!

Ok TC (benny the ball accent).
Always wanted to say that

 

[cra1gna1r]

I think Marvin Bartley would be a great appointment for them.
(So do the whole of Dumfries !)

 

[ForGodForCountryForever]

They told him he wasn't getting the job next season.

Yes I was joking.

Trying to make sense of such a shambolic organisation as Aberdeen FC is folly.

 

[BSPECIAL]

Seems none of the candidates was good at sheep shearing.

 

[Chief Rafferty]

Aberdeen can't afford O Neill, he's going nowhere near it, Derek McInnes now the hot favourite with the bookies.

 

[TWFWSOJB]

He realised his dream though mate!

He did,

but then he was duped into thinking they would put in such an effort in every game,

I laughed at his interview after the game at Ibrox and thought,

'aye, wait until you see them next week!!'


time told the truth,

 

[JerseyLoyalist]

Aberdeen can't afford O Neill, he's going nowhere near it, Derek McInnes now the hot favourite with the bookies.

Surely McInnes won’t return there?

 

[CooperBlu11]

I'm honestly surprised the phone call hasn't been put into Jack Ross.

Seems to be the go to man when a diddy Scottish club can't get a manager.

 

[Bobby Russell's Perm]

Who cares….it’s been hysterical watching them flirt with relegation!!
Ha, ha….Scotland’s 4th biggest team!!!

 

[The Royal Standard]

Warnock knew it was a lost cause IMO.

Couldn't be arsed with the hassle and decided to walk.

Sounds about right to me.

 

[Crackerjack 12]

Is there a potential of O'Neill doing both jobs?

Doubt both parties would accept that. Or O'Neill for that matter.

 

[Crackerjack 12]

Who cares….it’s been hysterical watching them flirt with relegation!!
Ha, ha….Scotland’s 4th biggest team!!!

And to think we pished away 4 points to these Clowns.

 

[Great white tadpole]

I thought Lennon would have been appointed fairly sharpish tbh. Putting himself in the running just before Warnock left didn’t seem like a coincidence.

He would probably do ok with them to be fair certainly make the hatred with us even more intense

 

[MainStandLoyal]

Aberdeen can't afford O Neill, he's going nowhere near it, Derek McInnes now the hot favourite with the bookies.

Wouldn’t say 2/1 is the ‘hot favourite’, I think it’s much more likely to be O’Neil than McInnes.

 

[JerseyLoyalist]

The reason I fancy O’Neill to get it is,he’s the only one tied up on international duty.
They could have had their business done with any club manager before now.

 

[giogaddi]

Aberdeen can't afford O Neill, he's going nowhere near it, Derek McInnes now the hot favourite with the bookies.

Be surprised if he went back there, but ye never know I suppose. Has done a decent job with Killie and built a good squad.

 

[LoyalRanger_72]

It’s very clear that it’s obviously a manager who’s in a job that they want. If not, they’d have got someone in who was out of work after Robson was sacked and not the short term option till the end of the season which hilariously even backfired.

 

[Kentbear]

What happened to the boy Christian Titz that was in the running. Wanted him just for the tabloid headlines

He would just be the latest one.

 

[Diego Maradona]

Clearly Neil only wanted to experience Ibrox.
