Aberdeen's Next Permanent Manager

[Dons_1988]

Anyone seriously engaging in debate with both Willy and Pep is in for a long, difficult day.

McInnes should have freshened things up by having a fucking shave.

In an alternative universe where he does, the press are comparing this free-scoring Aberdeen side to Brazil 1970.

False. Derek's beard added sex appeal, as India Taylor will attest to.

That's cleared that up. 

It's obvious Willy operates on a different level to most of us. 

Not a higher one. 

Higher to what? It's a football forum.

If you keep a beard too long, it goes from "Wow, that's fresh and sexy!" to "Wow, that's a really tired look, get a new one".

It's kinda the story of a good football manager I suppose.

I disagree. Derek's biggest failing was not getting a haircut in the window of opportunity last Autumn. He also let himself go a little over lockdown and towards the end he became more of a tired, greasy tramp. He looked fierce a couple of years ago.

I blame the shame of even considering the Rangers job for not taking care of himself.

Well let's be fair, we all know that if it wasn't for McInnes having [REDACTED], and the Aberdeen board helping him out with that, then he probably would have taken the job.

That would explain the general deterioration of his entire life then. It’s just science.

He won the Dryborough Cup, a Derek McInnes like achievement, but he was manager when the Dons won it. Ergo, successful. 

2nd, 4th, 4th, 4th, 5th

Whoever thought that I would ever be having an argument with you! I’m not buying that Jimmy Bonthrone was a success. He won the Dryborough Cup with Eddie Turnbull’s team and got his second in the same way, more or less. Things were stagnating under Jimmy and we were only saved from continued mediocrity by Super Ally. Lovely guy though.

Stagnating under Derek, too, does that mean he wasn't a success, either?

I wouldn't put Jimmy in our top 5, or even six, probably, but in my eyes he was a success, whether he just "inherited" the Dryborough Cup or not.

This has ended up going badly for Aberdeen. 

[Raidernation]

Turnbull - Bonthrone - MacLeod. Maybe before your time, of course.

That’s my timeline as well

I think we're going to get an update on how badly this is going?

Aye but he's maybe shot his load early by saying ended already today. Everything will have to be in the past tense from now on which could limit him.

We'll see how it goes.

I’ll agree to disagree. I can’t fight with an old guy.
