After seeing how bad Goodwin, Glass, McGhee and Paterson were then I’d be worried if we don’t go foreign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it worth putting Robson in charge till the end of the season. If I was Robson I would be very wary about taking the job on til the end of the season. If he's a caretaker it will be even more difficult to persuade any defenders to sign up before the end of the month. It would be a pretty tough gig, and could ruin his chances of getting a full time managerial position in the long run (assuming that's what he wants).

Ric Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I feel Robson would placate the fans, being a club legend and all that, but on the flip side you wouldn't be expecting league success with a rookie manager. Would Aberdeen fans be happy with another season of rebuilding the team? I don't see Cormack bringing in an expensive, but tried and tested manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because one person didn't work out the whole of a geographical region is written off. Going by that principle you should never have another Scotsman anywhere near the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingscot Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I think if you look back at his record with St Mirren this is pretty much par for the course. The season he left us we had 3 wins in 20 games before the winter break and were on a run of 11 games without a win. We then hit a purple patch when Goodwin changed the formation in the break and we won 4 and drew 1 and then Aberdeen appointed him! To be fair, we were decent enough at cup football (except the season when he joined when we drew with East Kilbride and Albion Rovers). I don't blame Goodwin for moving to Aberdeen, but I was surprised that he was up for the position given his record and said he'd need luck. As it proved.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it worth putting Robson in charge till the end of the season. I've said before that I think there is a tendency for Dons fans to look back excessively fondly on Ebbe's time because he was a bit of an eccentric. There were highs, there were some pretty awful lows but he brought through some decent youngsters and brought in some decent overseas talent in Guntviet (who I always thought was underrated), Bisconti, Stavrum and Zero. I'd argue the opposite that the Ebbe experiment hasn't put me off going foreign again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 4 hours ago, houston_bud said: The good run we were on was probably the main reason for his appointment but I think it's an unfair reflection on Goodwin's time at St Mirren to suggest that all he had was one good run. He took over a bit of a basket case, signed - for the most part - better players than we had, got us to two semi finals and missed out on top 6 by a whisker. Had Goodwin stayed last year I reckon we would've got top 6. You can argue that he could've done more and Aberdeen fans can certainly be annoyed at his appointment but by any measure he was a good manager for St Mirren. For clarity, and I can see how you thought it, I am not saying all Goodwin did with us was that six game good run where he earned plaudits. All I meant was I think it definitely was that wee run that prompted Cormack to pay compensation and get him. It wasn’t like Goodwin had put a couple of great entire seasons under his belt and there were teams tripping over each other to prise him away from the Darling Buddies of Dismay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
