My thoughts exactly . I wouldnt want any of them for a start LOL

aye but Hibs stuck with Terry Butcher until he took them down and frankly I think there is a pretty good chance we could hit the play off spot in 3/4 weeks if SK stayed , we may still do but just imagine if we get a new manager bounce the season could end very well. Time will tell.

Steven Craigan is the only one in the " Media Gang" who has actually taken time to look beyond the banal, lazy shite journalism of "they are 5th, been in a semi final, what do Motherwell fans expect" You could tell all season that he's basically seen us for what we are, thought we are shite and couldnt see what were were trying to do tactically, without actually saying we are rank rotten.

Correct , I never felt like going home after 15 mins of every game when SR was manager. had his faults but no way was it as brutal and as utterly boring as its been under SK.

He's gone now, we can argue til the cows come home the rights and wrongs, changes nothing now. Onwards and hopefully upwards and an end to the eye bleeding pish we've been watching.

Wont affect who we go for or who'd likely take it one iota.

its football, its tomorrows chip paper and please don't consider that's me condoning any personal abuse of SK. I think he worked very hard for us but what we watched for most of his tenure would turn you to stone. For me he had the Ross County and Dundee game to show me something different but we will now never know.

of course they are , it makes headlines and the media all look after their mates in football. That why no cunt who is dreadful is ever short of a gig. Again, I don't know how bad it was and it should be condemned if it happened but you can rest assured the media will not give balance , it will ALL be the fans fault cos that agenda suits.

Mate you are being naive if you think this doesn't happen at all clubs when fans aint happy. I'm not trying to defend abuse but its the nature of the beast and every player and manager knows it. It wont stop anyone whose genuinely interested from taking the job.

nah he looks like Mrs Doubtfire lol

If this isnt a wind up post - The Daily Record prints shite and SR would give us a two fingered salute.

Correct Clement continues to receive abuse and the Aberdeen fans still abuse Goodwin and actually chuck missiles at him.

That is a very distinct possibility and his mates in the media will ensure that's the narrative.

He does and it serves his future prospects no harm to blame it all on the fans.

To a degree , he might also be pointing at the easiest target other than himself. I cant comment on the personal abuse as I never witnessed it but it shouldn't happen. There is also the possibility he had lost the dressing room and could see the writing on the wall , so chuck it with a record on paper that stands up and blame everyone else and his future employment is safeguarded. We will never know the truth.

Plenty, it's part and parcel of the game. Not defending it but it's reality. We're Aberdeen fans any different with Goodwin. Are Rangers fans any different with Clement. They ve dedicated all their lives to the game. They know what's coming once they lose fans.

Yep Id agree, that is what makes me unsure about SK , do we replace him with someone who serves up the same shite we've watched frequently over the years..

He certainly cant accuse the club of not supporting him in the transfer market.

Its not an easy decision. Glad I don't have to make it. I feel utterly bored watching Motherwell but frankly that was the same under Graham Alexander , Stevie Hammel and now Stuart Kettlewell so would we be sacking him just to replace him with the same turgid stuff. Am I being unrealistic in what I watch, Im not sure because it feels like years since I enjoyed watching us other than a few standout games..

In SK case it May 2025 which is normally at seasons end. So either side needs to give a notice period that they do not intend to continue (generally 3 months) otherwise the 12 months kicks in. I'd be amazed if there wasn't an element of compensation for a contract terminated in football but it certainly wouldn't be prohibitive.

Not necessarily. That's not how many rolling contracts in the UK work. Many run for 12 months from a specific date and in their case that was May 2024. Both sides have an option to continue or to end but must give three months notice before the 12 months expire i.e May 2025. If no such undertaking is exercised the contract automatically rolls on for another 12 months and we would then be on the hook for 12 months salary..

Slight difference here is SK has 5 months left on his contract, hardly a crippling financial judgement to get rid of him for those that think that's what we should do. "All this changing managers every 2 years does is cost us money" it does but that is the nature of the beast. Few managers last longer than 3 seasons. Either through moving to bigger and better or getting pumped for being pish.
