@SDWilson_ @nfthatjt That doesn’t mean you stop them completely

@nfthatjt Well a bunch of useless young projects hasn't worked has it?

It’s not the job of a head coach to dictate the transfer strategy though. Playing up to the fans who seem to think a bunch of league 2 jobbers will fix things because of their extensive knowledge of the British game. Rough times ahead.

@scotsunsport Think most Aberdeen fans would have no complaints if we just admitted it was another mistake and sacked him already.

@ABDN1903ole @fut_maverick Lack of fight and quality. Lutz sold our best technical footballers in January probably thinking we’d be fine with a few cloggers until the end of the season. He was wrong..

@PostfixKen @fut_maverick I respect your opinion. But what would you pinpoint as our main issues in the squad at present? (Aware you could list hundreds)

So we can add Lazetic and Kjartansson to the ‘away’ list. Cormack park is hardly a ghost town! Absolutely no excuse for two weeks of Robinson getting his tactics and messaging across. Need to see a huge improvement in the next game. x.com/aberdeenfc/sta…

@SheepinExile @northernlites__ His preferred formation is one he hasn’t played for years?

@northernlites__ To be fair to Robinson, he's said his preferred formation is 433. Right now, we don't have the players to play that. I totally get the project players being put on the backburner. Seen folk mention Miovski, Ramadani. They were full internationals. Duk was a project.

All well and good, but the support won’t accept one dimensional hard men and Aberdeen FC are not a 352 club. That formation limits berths for the creative difference makers. The onus is on SR to use his skills to build experience around creativity, not the other way around….

@ABDN1903ole @fut_maverick I am. Not looking forward to seeing who his own players are anyway. A bunch of hammer throwers most likely He was brought in to save us from relegation. He doesn’t have time.

@PostfixKen @fut_maverick I'm not going to judge him properly until he's had the summer to get his hands on his own players. The current squad is an absolute abomination, I don't think Guardiola or Klopp would be able to do an awful lot with this bunch

@Dandys_Mihnn @tailso1988 The current set up is failing because we constantly fail to implement it correctly. It’s a bit like when Cormack first tried to implement the structure, then went on to appoint the clubs travel agent and not appoint a head of recruitment until half way through the season

@PostfixKen @tailso1988 Yeah because the current set up is working a treat isn’t it… the whole footballing department needs stripped back lutz sacked purely for trying to write of our season… but any players signed in the summer has to be on the managers say not that German cunt assuming he stays

Thank fuck

@xZ3R0H_AFCx @JosephWhimster Yup, whilst we have to back him. There is inevitably amongst sensible fans that it’s going to be another failure and probably the worst one yet. In all my years supporting Aberdeen I’ve never attended less games than I have in the last few months. Just completely lost interest

@PostfixKen @JosephWhimster Plus he's just a generally unlikeable character that offers absolutely no inspiration. Of course I'll support the Dons but for the first time probably in my life I just genuinely don't care, there's no joy or excitement factor, a boring, desperate signing that we know will fail.

So far, there is absolutely nothing about Robinson that suggests to me he’s anything other than Goodwin MK2. A single speed dildo that can get the job done under certain conditions but frankly isn’t much use beyond the basics. I hope he’s enough to prevent relegation.

@gus_tawse The fact we have the temu Terry Butcher in charge doesn’t exactly bode well for the future either

I love the optimism of those who think we’re not in danger of finishing second bottom, but I’m getting Hibs 2014 vibes from this season. Started the campaign in Europe, manager left when comfortably mid table, two wins in their last 18 matches.

@KevD63 @tailso1988 @JosephWhimster Yup, was just disrespectful if anything. Seems to just pass the blame off to anyone he could. That’s only going to stick for a few more weeks

@tailso1988 @JosephWhimster Exactly… Robinson said some truths should have been said 6 months ago but Thelin had called them out several times as did Leven… what he said was classic Goodwin and dare I say deflection on his part for starting wrong team at Ibrox

@fut_maverick @JosephWhimster @tailso1988 Also won the cup against Nancy ffs 😂

@JosephWhimster @tailso1988 Wish everyone would stop with this ‘got top 6 with St Mirren’ as if it’s some kind of miracle. Where would you expect them to finish? They are probably a mid table side, 6th is good, but not some massive success. He’s come in and he’s already raged at the players he’s stuck with

@JosephWhimster @tailso1988 Exactly, we only brought him in when we did because we needed him to win games between now and the end of the season. He doesn’t have any time at all, needs to start winning games now.

@tailso1988 Well, no. He doesn’t have time. He’s got 7 games. And he doesn’t have the luxury of a transfer window. And I’m not convinced, respectfully, that changing our entire methodology for a manager with little proven success is strategically sensible. But I’d be delighted to be wrong.

@Coyr1972 @JosephWhimster @tailso1988 Robinson will still very much be to blame if we go down. Far from his fault but he will have his fair share of the blame

@JosephWhimster @tailso1988 What methodology is that? The one that has us brought us to the existing mess we're in? If we get relegated it won't be because of Robinson, that'll be down to those running the club and the players. Regardless he'll be here next season.

@Dandys_Mihnn @tailso1988 In our current set up the head coach shouldn’t be the one making all the decisions. Whether you agree with it or not that’s not how the structure is supposed to work.

@tailso1988 Think once we sort of safety the summer recruiting needs to be on point & am not worried in the slightest. But the whole footballing department need to work as one with Robinson being the one making the decisions…st Mirren game is absolutely massive win that & it’s sorted.

@FatEeyore @fut_maverick Hmm, you’d be surprised..

@fut_maverick Drove past today, looked a decent number of players out there. Glad the ones at home aren’t getting much, if any time off.

@fut_maverick There’s absolutely nothing wrong with signing project players, I agree the amount we signed was excessive when we needed first team quality players. But I suspect this dinasour will have us signing useless cloggers from the national league

So is this just his opinion, or a major shift in club transfer policy? Strange time (and way) to announce it if it’s a change. The ‘project’ players aren’t really the problem, it’s been the abysmal performance from the ‘senior’ players at the club.

@StevieG1978 @JosephWhimster Was that not the whole reason we brought him in? Because we thought he could win us games and steer us clear from relegation? Otherwise he would of been brought in straight after Thelin was sacked

@JosephWhimster Which manager do you think would be able to come in and with 9 games left was going to get this group of players suddenly winning games?

@rathersheepish @ES1903_ 😂 Exactly With our supposed football structure that’s not his job to dictate our strategy. He should maybe focus on keeping us up first

@ES1903_ Worrying that he’s been here for 5 minutes won zero games and thinks he’s dictateing the transfer policy

Project players have funded this club since covid...

@ES1903_ Although the philosophy nonsense was shred to pieces when we went from Glass to Goodwin, let alone when we had Robinson and Horneland on the same shortlist

@ES1903_ Some fans arent wired correctly. A lot of them would rather we signed a bunch of 30 year olds from League 2 because “they know the British game” Also, we supposedly have a set philosophy at this club and in this modern structure the manger doesn’t dictate the transfer strategy.
