Cut to the chase, Brown is excess baggage at Aberdeen now - I just don't see it as a move that's in our best interest.

Exactly. This would suit Aberdeen more than anything.

Much as I am not a McCall fan, he wouldn't go to St. Mirren. He is probably in his last job unless a much bigger job comes up. Which it won't. 

Aye, the feeling is mutual in that regard 😂

Are we so stupid as to do Aberdeen's work for them.

We've already "given" them a new manager and assistant, are we going to give Pittodrie a quick mop and clean, while fluffing Cormack's pillows before he settles down as the same time as solving the biggest problem facing them?

Bringing Brown in is nothing but negatives, all negatives. The only positive someone can say is "well, he might turn out to be good".

The difference being both of those clubs had the finances and resources to either replace the manager or replace the team should they need to.

 

So both managers were on an equal footing then and the only difference was that one had experience and the other didn’t?

We lose multiple players every season and replace them with multiple players. We’ve replaced multiple managers in recent seasons. We have the same finances as all the clubs we are competing against.

In the sense that those clubs can make that gamble, if it works, it works, if it doesn't it's only a short term bump. They are insulated by their wealth and squad quality/size. We are obviously not.

Rangers were liquidated so they clearly aren’t insulated by their wealth. Relative to the clubs we are competing against we are in no different a position.

We’ve literally replaced stacks of players and managers in recent seasons.

He is a Wolves player Goodwin said it would take £500,000 to prize him away from Wolves. 

I know, I was just making an insensitive and intentionally inane wee joke. 

Which is unnecessary as the buddies have actually taken Jim’s departure relatively well.

What were you expecting?

Bottom half club loses manager to top half club is a fairly common occurance tbf. At least before he left he gave them lifelone memories like reaching a Semi Final and almost finishing 6th.
