So if he could easily bag another Championship gig why has he not got any of the West Brom, Luton, QPR, Norwich, Cardiff or Blackpool jobs? 

 

It’s a good point and my comment was no more than guesswork 

Do we know if he was in the running for any of those jobs?

Just can’t see him coming to Scotland

If you look at his overall managerial record it's actually pretty decent. He had a 40% win ratio at Middlesbrough. Won more games than he lost. 

He was in tge running for the Portsmouth job if i remember but then said he didn't want to drop into League one. 

I suspect his name cropped up on a few of those clubs shortlists.

I’ve got a mate like this. He will say things to me like “why didn’t  Kilmarnock try to get that Giroud on a free transfer?”.

I thought all Kilmarnock fans were like that?

Wilder would be a great appointment, but I'd be astonished if he rocked up anywhere other than the OF in Scotland. He'd want a right big wage and failure at a non-OF Scottish club would kill his career down south, which would be madness as he'll pop back up with a decent job in the EFL soon enough.

Hard to see what's in it for him, really.

Will the Football monitoring bureau be in charge of signing a new manager?

Agree.

He has enough credit to get a decent job down there.

Roy Aitken in the unique position of winning a trophy for us but not being regarded a success

f**k, that got ugly 

Aitken, Aitken, give us a wave was classic. Quickly followed by shoot the bear.

To give Roy his due, he has never spoken badly about his time at Aberdeen, to my knowledge

Could do worse but Ian Holloway is itching to get back in to the game plus he'll not cost nowt. 

[DrewDon]

It won't be Wilder, but the soft lads in our dressing room (which is pretty much all of them) would be in tears after one team talk from him.

I do hope The Aberdeen Football Monitoring Board are looking at who the fans are wanting based on P&B feedback.

The leading man is

 

Please make it happen Dave!

It'll be some lower English League jobber.

I notice former Hibs target Michael Appleton was relieved of his job recently so someone like him

I know he  nearly got us relagted, but I always counted him a success because he won us a trophy.

Opinions, eh?

Ricky Foster was on BBC Scotland this morning. Spoke fairly well about the situation. Said we need an experienced manager this time around.

Asked who he thinks should get it...

Paul Lambert, Neil Lennon or Jack Ross.

I heard Dave Cormack is considering an approach for Emma Hayes.

Was never mentioned but.....

Love how this deadline day special of Sportsound has just turned into massively touting John Hughes for Aberdeen.

Unbelievable.

Quite enjoying Craig Levein egging it on.

Love how he's trying to turn relegating Dunfermline as a reason as to why he should get the Aberdeen job.
