They weren’t happy with McIness and didn’t seem particularly taken by the prospect of Ross or Goodwin. On the back of Glass, the probably wouldn’t be happy with a Maloney type appointment either.

Sheep are generally never happy.

Not surprised, Eberdeen is full of strange guys walking around with wellies and velcro gloves....

Fair enough. No idea how you get that conclusion but your opinion mate.

I wouldn’t want McInnes because his footballs dreadful although his record is generally very good - he was pretty much a guarantee for a top 4 finish. I wouldn’t want Ross because his footballs dreadful and his record is a good bit poorer than McInnes and he doesn’t come with nearly as much of a guarantee of top 4 and I’d rather have Maloney over Goodwin because I think he has the potential to be a really special manager with the introduction he’s had to his career after retirement.

Anyway, I’m happy enough with them getting Goodwin. If the rumours are to be believed that they wanted the Bodo/Glimt manager then we could have potentially had cause for concern.

Fair play mate and let's hope you're right.

How does he not?

Ross finished 7th, 3rd then left us in 7th. He never won anything and has a lower PPG average by a decent bit and a lower win percentage by a decent bit compared to McInnes. His teams also had a better goal difference over his whole tenure than JR did at Hibs.. That’s despite the fact McInnes managed nearly 4 times the amount of games JR did.

The job McInnes done at Aberdeen and the job Ross done at Hibs aren’t even close. McInnes wins that hands down. His worst finish was 7th in a season where he was in the job a month. Other than that he never finished below 4th. He was even sacked in 4th if I remember correctly.

McInnes’ record beats JR in pretty much every measure I can think of and a lot of them fairly comfortably.

Mcinnes also won a league cup with Aberdeen. Although he should also have won more IMO albeit he was up against Rogers Celtc that won something like 10 trophies in a row for part of his time at Aberdeen.

I think both are good managers but safe pairs of hands. Generally do quite well, but nothing particular unique and the success they do have will often feel like a chore. Mcinnes has 5 years on Ross but it’s clear, to me anyway, Mcinnes has the better CV.

Lennon wipes the floor with any manager in the country CV wise. Doesn't mean he's the best mind you.

I thought the debate was a direct comparison between Mcinnes & Ross and not who the best manager in the country was.

He was in the league a lot longer.

Ross had us 7th 3rd and 7th.

The managerial merry-go-round chunters on. What unimaginative appointments by the famous Aberdeen FC and by Dundee too.

At least we went outside the envelope a bit.

Most of the Dee fans that I know are less than happy with McGhee getting the job. Comparing it to when McLeish got a second bite at the Scotland job from nowhere.

St Mirren wanting to speak to Scott Brown about the managers job. Aberdeen apparently willing to let him go.

Scott Brown to St Mirren? They’d go for him, before Jack Ross? Nah. I heard they had approached Jack Ross.

No danger Brown will be offered a job in management ahead of Thommo.

Scott Burns saying they are interested in speaking to Brown about the job. They might want to speak to Ross too but maybe he’s not keen?

I would take that if I was him. Aberdeen on a downward spiral, no one wants to be in that position.

Hilarious if he gets a full time managers gig before Thomson 😆

Thomson is doing it the right way.

He starts every game for them. Surprised by that.

Is Callum Davidson not getting a shout for any of these jobs? Timing is everything eh?

Think its obvious now how lucky he was in the cup runs, and how dreadful he is over a 38 game season. Hes won 15 league games, out of 64.

You could get lucky winning a cup, you don't win 2 cups in the same season by being lucky.

Do you not? He certainly did.

Hibs missing loads of chances in the league cup semi, goalie scoring last minute vs Rangers, St Mirren missing loads of chances Scottish cup semi, 2 penalty shootout wins on the way etc.

St Johnstone were crap. We have too high an opinion of them because we were their victims. The stars truely alligned for them in the cups. The chances the opposition missed against them on the way to winning those cups were unreal, like the net was protected by magic. He was never any kind of tactical genius.

Doesn’t almost every cup win, including our two most recent ones, have their fair share of riding luck/penalty shootouts etc?

I think Davidson and his team deserve a great deal of credit for what was an outstanding achievement.

So because their goalie scored in the last minute against Rangers it means it's lucky? You do realise that they had to play the entire game up until that point. And if that was Hibs, we'd undoubtedly be saying it was an iconic moment on our way to winning the cup.

Ah yes that famous lucky 3-0 win 🥴

Ross had us 7th 3rd and 7th.

He only had from November to March in his first season and I think we were 6th before getting moved down due to the early finish to the league. Also I think we were 5th when he left.

Coupled with his cup record his stats overall were good.
