'Where is the ambition?' - supporters' verdict on Horneland

We asked for your thoughts on the prospective appointment of Eirik Horneland as Aberdeen's new manager.

Here's a taste of what you had to say:

Robert: Scottish clubs aren't just workplaces, they are emotional institutions. A Scottish manager isn't important because of a passport, but because they instinctively understand the emotional weight of the badge, the rivalries, the history, and what a result means to supporters and players alike.

Lenny: He does not know the Scottish game, also did we not sack Jimmy Thelin, who had a better record the this guy and was from the same region? So why are we going down this road again?

Douglas: Horneland may or may not be a worthy candidate but he's nowhere near as irresistible as Jens Berthel Askou, who has more than proved his worth in the Premiership. We might not get him but it would be unforgivable not to bid for him.

Andrew: I don't think it matters who the new manager is, the problems within the club run deeper than simply bringing in a new manager. Another summer overhaul of players and we repeat the same cycle.

Neil: Similarly to Jimmy Thelin, Horneland has shown success in Scandinavia but his record abroad raises concerns. His teams can be predictable and struggle to adapt when opponents work them out. Sound familiar? Aberdeen need a manager who combines tactical flexibility with the ability to instil fight and confidence, that's the real test in the Scottish Premiership.

Phileas: Aberdeen have had several Scandinavian managers over the last decades. None have taken them to the same heights as Alex Ferguson or Derek McInnes. Where is the ambition? Finishing in the top half is not good enough.
