craig 5,199 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 We made no loss on Amato and you seem to be omitting some of his signings like Numan, Van Bronkhorst, Mols, Reyna, De Boer etc. It didn't help Advocaat that he inherited a squad that needed to be rebuilt from scratch, and at a club with archaic infrastructure. And if he was given the money he was obviously going to spend it. Murray's legacy is where we are now. Do you even remember those years ? We were far from a "club with archaic infrastructure" back then. We were probably one of the most advanced infrastructures in European football. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltersgotstyle 307 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I get this sinking feeling every time a manager gets suggested who just gets repeatedly sacked wherever he goes. He also took Middlesbrough to UEFA cup final and managed his country... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrheadboy 16 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) Which is ridiculous, given he has been there less than a year. Wonder what the issue is and which side it is that has the issue... I heard it is Allen that feels he is being prevented from doing what they employed him to do. The Board seem reluctant to accept his recommendations and are acting as if they do not have a DOF in place and continue to take decisions as in days before his arrival eg vetoing his choices for a manager and instead going after McInnes who Allen thought was unsuited to role on new set up .. If true it kind of defeats us having a DOF in first place. Edited December 21, 2017 by Barrheadboy 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacK1950 2,402 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 If that is the case get him out pronto,appointing McLaren would make me rethink my season ticket. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Anybody ever though we should have held on to Waghorn or Garner rather than bring in the luxury of Herrera who largely warms the bench? Waghorn is one of the top scorers in the Championship with 10 goals and 5 assists. Might have been a perfect foil for all the crosses an in form Candeias whips in.He was pish in the air but perhaps. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Ok. Flo was a spectacular failure but winning a treble and having great runs in the CL is no failure no matter how much he was allowed to spend. His record compared to Brenda’s at this stage stands up very well. There’s no doubt he was a check book manager but he only spent what he was allowed to by Murray, and as I said, the signing of Flo was bad but he signed some great players who gave great value to the team for years. Blaming Advocaat for our financial mess is harsh when Murray is clearly the culprit. His final season was poor, but what about Walter’s final season after 9IAR? Does that make him a spectacular failure?His final 2 seasons were poor and eck did better in the cl and won a trebble. Lets add kanchelskis ball konterman christiansen and prodan at very least to flo. Should get us to more wasted than oneil spent to shit all over him at first attempt. He did do well v venglos and barnes. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christiansen. Ball Flo Konterman Ricksen another only good under eck Prodan 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

boabie 230 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Someone said to me today its going to be Tommy Wright , do you think he could do a job for the club. I met him maybe 9 months ago and he seemed an ok guy. But I know nothing about him as a manager. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
