Until Aberdeen appoint a replacement, I will remain nervous about this no matter how flimsy the source of the story; two years good work should only be the start here ...

It doesn't mean they've asked him at all its newspaper spin to sell a couple more copies, I'm not saying that the man is definitely not interested but I'm not going to be to concerned unless something more concrete than a little newspaper article from up north comes out
If they quoted a source they'd never get any information from that source again. The likelihood is that Derek, or someone closely connected to Derek has spoken to the paper. They seem to have a pretty good record with stories they post, so I'd be very surprised if Derek doesn't want the job.GreatYarmouthGreen":1bmh8p5m said:

That's fair enough. Having had a quick look on the Aberdeen Forums, most posters are wanting Alex Neill. We can only hope!

This sums it up for me. Of all the names listed in that shortlist by the Record, he is by far the most expensive option.
And, with managers like Neil available for free - I'd be gobsmacked if they paid for Adams - especially as the compensation for their current gaffer could be used to improve the squad..
Blimey, this is all a bit scary. Would be gutted if he left right as we've turned the corner. It's his boyhood club though.. 
the recent head of aberdeen has just sold his software business for £630 million.money for compensation won't hurt him!
...unless Adams were to resign and then 'by pure fluke' 'bump' into the Aberdeen equivalent of Milan Manderic in a service station. It has been done before :furious:GreenLDN":nn2t9il4 said:
I too am reassured by the compo issue, in the grand scheme of things this SHOULD be enough to rule DA out. But there once was a bloke called Holloway and we all remember what happened there.
Another thing in favour of this not happening is that the probable impending Aberdeen vacancy has been there for weeks now. In that time he has convinced three new players to sign for us, players he wants. If his gaze was distracted elsewhere would he have signed them.
On that thought... unless he quickly and publicly distances himself from this report, any players mulling over signing for us, or dare I say any key player mulling over RE-signing for us, might look elsewhere if they think the manager trying to sign/re-sign them isn't going to be there.
This needs to be denied, and quickly.

Yeah, a club like Aberdeen is paltry compared to Plymouth Argyle. What's so great about Ibrox and Celtic Park, when DA can come to Wimbledon away and Fleetwood with us? What's so fancy about European Cup opposition when you can play Swansea U21s in some weird, regionalised, waste of time trophy?

The fancy European opposition is if Aberdeen get through the tedious and often difficult qualifying group stages sometimes against obscure Latvian, Irish and Polish clubs.
Oh and 2 FA cup games against Liverpool. Granted you aren't always going to get big teams but I don't think there is that much between the clubs as people believe. Adams has already been against both Celtic and Rangers many times both as a player and manager.
I'm not sure there is much logic to it, as Aberdeen have hit their glass ceiling whereas Argyle have got a hell of a long way to go before we hit ours.
But football isn't about logic, if he wants to go it looks like it's because he's a lifelong Aberdeen fan. Let's just hope they don't want him.
