Realistic candidates

I could be wrong, but didn't he fail miserably at Bristol City?
As for the Scottish League...well I reckon my nan could do a decent job up there and she knows nothing about football.

Certainly did. He was utter gash there.

He's done great North of the border though.........but then again, Rod Wallace scored 35 goals in a season in that league so it isn't really a benchmark when it comes to proper football!

What is wrong with Derek McInnes? Why doesn't he fit the bill for you.

Sounds a little JFH, but ok, sounds alright, What kind of team has he got up at Aberdeen and how do they play? I like the sound of him, but i liked the sound of Jimmy, and he was in my opinion, horrific for this club, worse than Hughes.

Jimmy had managed less than 100 games before he joined us and 40 of them were at royal antwerp. And most were in League 2 with only 6 months in League 1. Think they are miles apart in terms of experience. From what I''ve seen they are very attacking and play decent football. The weakness for me is their defence (against good sides) but they may be due to fact that Aberdeen just don;t have the finances to go and buy real quality and have to buy cheaper plays and sell them on for a profit.

He's experienced for such a young manager, with over 400 games. He got st Johnstone promoted to Scottish premier. He's managed in the championship. He kept Bristol city up when bottom when he took over. He then had bad half season. He's had a tight budget at Aberdeen yet they are 2nd behind Celtic. He's known for bringing in youth players......partly because he's had too. Rangers have been linked with him. I feel it's time's right for him to go. If we wanted him, we should bring his whole back room team.

He may well fit the bill. But i'd like some of these mentioned quantified in some way.

Truth is it's alot of devil's advocate becasue most of us have no clue what's actuallt needed and just blurt out names we think might work because we saw a good interview, or he won such and such.

Not mad keen on those two either...

...but, like Brexit, still yet to find a good candidate and reason over the last 5 pages....just names without solid reasoning.

Just don't see an option other than Ollie that will do better for the club. I still feel he can sort this out, at the very least to get us to a point where we can employ another manager with a good squad, ready to push on.

Lol. Jeremy Corbyn and Nicola Sturgeon will also need new jobs soon.

I don't know how a poster can call this a healthy conversation. It's quite upsetting and just shows how ruthless this world has become

Life is tough mate.

If I performed badly consistently week after week, I'd be sacked. I'm sure it's the same for a lot of guys who post here.

If people can't hack that, they should go live in a kibbutz!

That's cos our recruitment policy is terrible, both for players and staff. Has been throughout the tenure of Tony Fernandes and through the Paladini/Bernie/Flabio era.

Yeah for years the club has been lazy and amateurish in their recruiting,Hopefully if Penrice comes in over the summer it will help to pinpoint some quality additions....not holding my breath tho!!

If Holloway does go...then I hope the club searches far and wide for the right manager,other clubs can identify the likes of Wagner so why can't we. All we go for is the cheap easy option and therefore ends up with a clapped out pundit.

Francois Hollande is in need of a job. The type of useless k ant we usually employ. And a leftist whom TF the Guardianista will love....
