The only thing that disappointed me about Brown was that he came back for the new season. I never saw him as anything more than a short term solution and was surprised we didn't bring in a new face over the summer. Hopefully we can bring in someone for the next 3 or 4 years to add a bit of long term planning to the mix. Onwards and upwards.

Didn't he say in his Beeb interview he "indicated" he was staying. I thought that was a strange choice of words at the time.

Butcher was the right man at the right time. That time has passed.

+1. I think he'd be a perfect fit for our team.

They could have let Leeann know what was going on. From today's ET:

Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooosh.

By all accounts McGhee didn't.

Exactly. To be honest, I was happy to see him stabilize things out last season, but I was expecting a new manager to be brought in for this campaign and, while he still doing a solid job, CB is not a long term solution. I'm sure we could find a younger (sorry Craig) boss for the longer haul if Broon decides to head north.

I think the problem was that he did fulfill his potential.

True, but the odds are based on the betting volume too. So the more people that have a flutter based on the stories on the Aberdeen forum, or on Pie and Bovril, the shorter the odds become.

You'd have to think if Stark wants it he will get it. Exactly. If we have a vacancy, you can guarantee there will be plenty of applications received. There are always more managers than jobs at the top level.

Well he did say Motherwell would be his last job, but to be honest if he goes, he goes. He did what needed to be done at Fir Park i.e. brought some stability, and if he feels the need to step aside then so be it. I think he would be an idiot to take on Aberdeen at this stage in his career, but on the other hand, it's not going to affect his future prospects

Good critique of Mr. Kearney and his Dallas outbursts here.

The wildlife and pensioners will be happier though.

That might have been part of the problem. Most good managers want to bring in their own assistant, not get lumbered with whoever happens to be at the club.

Encouraging your local club to use it is different from turfing (no pun intended) out your regular customers out with zero notice.

Bring back the winter break.

You certainly didn't manage to read what I wrote. I was parsing the article, not giving an assessment on Gannon's veracity.

Did you actually read what Dallas said in that interview? It supports Gannon's claims that his correspondence (or, at least, a significant portion of his correspondence) was ignored. Dallas just passes the blame onto the Post Office delivering it late - no wonder he switched to email, eh?

If the police had said that, perhaps. But if the reason they put off the game was because the surrounding roads weren't safe, then presumably they are just as dangerous if you drive to The Fort as to Fir Park.

So, John Reid, who refused to resign over lying to the UK electorate over the reasons for invading Iraq, forces a ref to resign over lying over the reasons he made a correct decision? You couldn't make this up. The sooner the OF and all their delusional supporters take their bigoted paranoia to the EPL (or Championship, or Atlantic League) the sooner we can drag our game into the 21st century.

They should be out there clearing the roads for everyone. And they should have been out there gritting/salting the roads before the snow started falling. When I lived in England we used to laugh at how useless they were at dealing with snow compared to Scotland. As the years have passed, it seems like the English approach to snow clearing has taken hold of the majority local authorities in Scotland.

He was due to be the 4th official at Fir Park today.

I'm glad you don't look after snow removal where I live - we'd be waiting until April before you sent out the gritters.
