Jimmy Thelin

Yeah

... at the Jens Bertel Askou, Alfred Johansson, Wouter Vrancken, um, at points Jimmy Thelin sort of model.

We know Jimmy Thelin.

We know Jimmy Thelin like that.

Yeah, but he won, he won a cup, mind.

But it's, Aberdeen team were horrendous.

Well, they put two and two together and come up with four here 'cause next-

Yeah

I think, I, I think for me, the way football's going, especially see teams in the league who are playing a more attractive brand of football, I think you're, you're definitely getting fans on board, uh, a lot quicker than some of the other teams.

I think Aberdeen out with Jimmy Thelin winning the Scottish Cup, performances throughout the course of a season haven't been the level that Aberdeen fans would expect from, from their team, and rightly so.

They're a, they're a big club in Scotland.

They have a big budget, and they would expect better than what's been, been shown over, over recent years.

Because we are wanting to try and play it on the ground.

Our long ball percentage is down at levels we saw under Jimmy Thelin season.

This is not a typical Stephen Robinson St. Mirren team that you might become used to, that a ball want- ball's played into a channel going long, asking your striker to chase and get you out the park.

Until, of course, this, uh, the last hour last night, which we'll obviously come to.

Um, w- we've given most managers at the very least 12 months so far s- in the Cormack era.

Um, but that trigger point has been slight, ever so slightly earlier season on season since, um, the, the, the, the, the Dave Cormack regime began in, uh, earnest.

The, the obvious exception to the rule being that, uh, Jimmy Thelin managed to stay on for more than the full season.

Then it took winning the Scottish Cup to save his bacon.

They're desperate to see something that they can cling onto and, and look at as positive moving forward.

Apart from really that first th- two, three months of Jimmy Thelin, in the, you know, the recent past, the, the, from an Aberdeen fan perspective, I'd imagine they feel that the club has not been achieving or regularly getting and, and f- and hitting the, the levels that they would expect from their club.

So when it starts to feel like they're underachieving again, their patience wears thin pretty quickly, which is just a observation of where I think the club are.

It's not a criticism of anybody.
