Woildnt be suprised if Aberdeen get Goodwin, St. Mirren get Ross. Reckon St. Mirren fans would be happy with that, probably better manager as time will tell.

Surely though there are better, more experienced options out there for Dons. Derek Adams would be great for 2 years only IMO. Worth it tho for those 2 years

Just can't see Ross coming to us, or him being welcome if he did. He couldn't get outta there fast enough when his stock was high in 2018. I don't specifically blame him for that - if teams like Sunderland are offering you mad money, then fucking take it. But he has been one a one-man trolling mission ever since and it hasn't gone down well.

See the hacks are dragging out Paul Lambert as a potential - wonder how long before someone suggests John Hughes?

[Billy Jean King]

If this had happened a month ago Goodwin wouldn't even be getting a mention. It's utterly bizarre that one good month of results can raise your stock to such an extent and it's exactly why he would be mad not to go if he gets the offer and a package can be reached.

It really is a funny old game right enough.

Kenny McIntyre, or whoever was on Sportsound last night, read out a text from an apparent Dons fan suggesting Stuart Kettlewell.

I know he's not a 'usual suspect', but qu'est-ce que c'est?

If we can't get Goodwin then I'd be tempted to make a move for Neil Godwin instead. Did a great job at Swindon.

I can't agree CS, Ross did a brilliant job for us first time around, and I think he did a pretty good job at Sunderland too. The Sunderland team he inherited / worked with were utter basket-cases. He almost had then promoted but for an unfortunate play-off at Wembley. 

Ross would be a good appointment for St Mirren and St Mirren would be good opportunity for him to re-establish his credibility as a top-notch manager.

Hopefully we don't lose Goody, but if we did it needn't be a disaster for us !!

Just my opinion of course.

Trolling Hearts fans: Hearts are a bigger club than Aberdeen

Aberdeen board: Hmm.. this Neilson chap has done quite well ..

Trolling Hearts fans: Hi Robbie, do you know Aberdeen are a bigger club than Hearts....

I've heard his Swindon lot were shit, little slugs with no personalities.

Agree with you I would take Ross back if Goody left.

Cheers. Just taken my boots out of the car now.

[anotherchance]

it’s been widely reported that we’re considering a few candidates and doing interviews - if it’s 250k before we can even talk to Goodwin then that’ll be a no, hopefully.

Even if he speaks with us, I’d hope the compo would work against him actually getting it.

[Empty It]

Craig Levein hasn't been touted for a job in a while.

Just ban the sheep for a few weeks - by that time they'll be calling for Goodwin's head. 

You mean like the St Mirren fans were about 6 weeks ago? 

[Alert Mongoose]

is there any chance of David Robertson applying for this? No idea if he is still managing in Kashmir?

Only the nutters (though that is a reasonably significant minority).

@Munoz is almost in #headsgone territory and we've not even announced him.

Bigot. Aberdeen can self identify as a he...

Those of us who supported the dandies in the early 90’s will not entertain this for a fucking second

He really isn't. I wasn't a fan of Goodwin getting our job when he did. Last season was decent enough, but we fell at the final few hurdles on 3 occasions. The first half of this season was not anything to get too excited about. 

Headsgone, nah.
