Yes true, again presuming that Moore / Chansiri would not have negotiated a mid point on salaries. Equally the amount of compensation could have been set out in said deal. What is purported to be paid and what actually is paid again are arm wrestled for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there would be a goodwill carry forward and not the wholesale changes / lack of preparation that bringing in Xisco created. It is ifs and buts of course - but I would have us equal with Plymouth say Moore would have been sacked similar time to Xisco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCraigsOwl Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Pimped himself for the Hearts job at least once. Gained the consolidation prize. To be honest, if I was the Aberdeen board, I wouldn't have sacked Barry Robson. Basically, they've found themselves in the same boat as Hearts last season. Trying to juggle group stage European football and the domestic league at the same time. The squads just aren't big enough to allow for consistent results and the finances aren't there to build a decent sized squad because, once you're knocked out of Europe, you then find yourself with too many players on the books! Short termism rears its ugly head again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tewksbury Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Beale could be good for us, still have to play Millwall, QPR, Blackburn and ourselves, after giving Huddersfield and Birmingham a lifeline. Shame it didn't happen 2 games earlier. With any luck, their playoff hopes will be sorted by the last game and they'll be on the beach or resting players. The Mowbray loss could hurt us though. Rotherham, QPR, Millwall and Huddersfield still to play. If they're out of the relegation running, winning those 4 could help us massively. Seems like every manager change seems to hurt us in some way at the minute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
