….. yes, but only in the media. LJ’s problems are still uppermost as far as the Hibs supporters are concerned and events outwith the ER scene will not make any difference to his fate. Except of course the result against a likely rudderless Aberdeen.Quote:

Hibs have always been very accommodating to teams on a bad run, so expect Aberdeen to get a result. :boo hoo:Quote:

They've only got 18 months left to pay off, you'd have thought he would be well gone.Quote:

Terrible Manager
Not even a nice guy

Eddie Turnbull

Those are the last 3 managers to last 4 years, I wonder how many have been paid for 4 years?!
Resigning might cost him a pay off? Probably already cleared his desk and just waiting to be emptied.Quote:

Yeah I guess, we may be paying him £1500 p/w on a 4 year deal with the Dons plumping for a £2.5k p/w 2 year deal.Quote:

That’s my take on it. A newly appointed manager on, say a four year contract, knows that he isn’t guaranteed four years payment, irrespective of his length of service. His compensation will be set on a sliding scale and include mitigating circumstances written into the contract. I think that’s why some clubs offer rolling contracts, which safeguard the interests of both parties.Quote:

Judging by the reaction on their club forums, I think they might be treading a precarious path by backing Goodwin, as the fans, unsurprisingly, expect him to get the boot. As light relief from our own ‘crisis’, the Aberdeen forums are a hoot.…. ranging from ‘close the club, immediately, and put the shutters up’ to ‘ we should go for Sir Clive Woodward. :greengrin:greengrin( I think that was a serious suggestion.) Whatever happens, our upcoming game will be interesting for events beyond the game itself.
Watching some of that last night the fans should be venting their anger at the players as well. Didn't look like their hearts were in it to me.Quote:

He just suffered one of the worst results in the history of world football leg alone Scottish football. He should actually be resigning. Not waiting to be sacked.Quote:

Exactly the same could be said about our players. Majority of them look like they couldn't give a crap to me. They have seen off 2 managers in recent times and the next is only a matter of time.Quote:

They’ll probably have enough in their locker room to see us off, but, if we somehow conjure up a result, all hell will be let loose. Goodwin’s a lucky man to have us as his ‘get out of jail free card’.Quote:

Listening to the report on Reporting Scotland re. Aberdeen’s recent stats., it’s quite numbing to realise that our record is worse.:rolleyes:
Thought he only had 18 months left.Quote:
