kingjoey Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 You would think that the sensible thing to do is wait for Alan Burrows to join and he has huge input into who the new manager will be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine we've already told him who is on our shortlist. He'll be up to date with what's happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm that’s a concern. Bear in mind he’s had a big say in Motherwell appointing McGhee, Barraclough, Alexander & Hammell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrows doesnt take up the reigns til the end of Feb, and if he has any sense he will allow those already there to do the spadework. At least that way he can absolve himself of responsibility if it all goes breasts skyward in a year or two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a big boy, I doubt that’s entering his thoughts or he wouldn’t be joining us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might have heard we beat Rangers 6-1 in the process. We were bottom of the league when Alexander took over. He not only comfortably kept us up but delivered European football in his only full season in charge. They didn't necessarily work out long term but short term they did precisely what they were brought in to do. The only genuine failure of those 4 is Hammell.

Aye, but Aberdeen aren’t thinking short-term for just this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodhull Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Bit of a non update really. Just asking fans to be patient as they're taking their time. Says Burrows will be involved in the "next step" when he starts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
