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 ...

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:Very speculative...who and where is the source for this info? Unsettling if true but I have no reason to think that he would be leaving.

...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:Sam Barker":nn2t9il4 said:If he wants it or not remains to be seen but there is no chance Aberdeen will pay out the remaining three years of his contract here when Alex Neil is out of work.
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..

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?
