Gribz 743 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Saying no outstanding candidate is the worrying thing, if we end up going for a choice who was below McInnes in the pecking order they aren't exactly going to feel wanted. Also makes Murty feel he isn't considered or rated much in a way. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaspard 562 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Like the author of that statement words fail me. I had to look up "concomitant" and I suspect the originator did as well (right click - synonyms) after he wrote associated. It really is embarrassing, they could have at least waited until JT was semi-sober before letting him near the send button - I can just see him - Furrowed brow, squinting through those daft retro specs and thumping away on his keyboard like Vincent Price on a church organ. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 The other poor line is saying they would only appoint someone who is ready for the job. All that does is make McInnes more determined to do better against us plus remove any regrets he may have. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walterbear 557 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 The problem with this long winded clumsy statement is that it talks unconvincingly about selection criteria, it talks negatively about McInnes it is oddly self congratulatory about Murty who in fact was thrown into the job for the second time in a year ultimately because of mistakes made by the Board. After 6 weeks it is clear that despite this in depth analysis of candidates and grilling selection process the statement alludes to, it is a statement so vacuous and devoid of real content that it more or less says we haven’t in fact spoken to or interviewed anybody at all. I can’t believe there are many managers we have rejected who are actually worse at their job than some of our Board members appear to be at theirs. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,262 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Feels a bit like some simply need to vent their anger at the club ... more than being bemused by this rather neutral statement. I'd rather have the club come out with its view than being told by "ITK" chaps what might be going on or being subjected to all sorts of conjecture and hearsay. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have the club come out with its view than being told by "ITK" chaps what might be going on or being subjected to all sorts of conjecture and hearsay. You'd rather the club severely embarrass itself? That's what it's done. It's nothing to do with anger. I'm not bothered that we didn't get McInnes. I am however ashamed that the club would issue such a dreadful statement. And as you obviously missed it, the statement has conjecture, or is it OK when the club do it? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooponthewing 1,139 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I have been on the piss since yesterday afternoon. Looks like I picked the right time to start boozing again! I had imagined getting a grip by Sunday but ffs I am lost for words? We are a shambles. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
onevision 1,448 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Much rather the statement read.... Aberdeen refused us the opportunity to speak to their manager, we move on.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
