Bo Jimmy Thelin (Aberdeen manager)

Is this not the guy they interviewed during one of the last two post sacking appointments and they rejected him?
 
He'll get his 15 minutes in the limelight and just like before he arrived he will disappear back into obscurity.

Apparently done well in the past.

Finished 2nd in his league and was linked with the Swedish national job.

Guess it can’t be any worse than Glass, Goodwin, Robson, Leven, Warnock and Leven.

Nor Brown and Lennon. A foreigner may get his team fired up equally for all games and not only find that extra 50% when a team in blue from Glasgow opposes them

Jimmy Thelin in Aberdeen would mean the death of exciting headlines. The city's newspapers can retire their headline writers or send them on a long holiday to a sunnier place.

In interviews, he is perhaps Sweden's most boring person. He rarely or never offers anything personal, refuses to tip tables or speculate.

He is a decent and honest person with sound values, devoted to the profession, meticulous and professional. He never criticises a verdict out of respect for the referees.

It is one of the things he has become best known for in Sweden. He has never complained about a referee's decision on TV, in newspapers, or other interviews.

But Jimmy Thelin is exceptional at transfer finance - and building a squad over time. If you give him a couple of years to refine players, sell on more expensive and replace cheaply, he is the best in Sweden at getting a team to overperform against the invested pound.

He usually uses the 4-3-3-formation but can switch to 4-4-2 during matches. The focus is on hard work in the defensive game with high pressure, a quick transition game, as well as a game build-up with game turns (diagonal passes) and a shorter combination game closer to the goal.

Let's see how long this lasts...

It's the East end of Glasgow not Aberdeen where this guys services are desperately required

Sounds like a soft lad…
 
Thought TLB was a shoo in for this job
It's beginning to look like his managerial career is over
Which is all well and good but means we'll have to duffer him as a pundit
Watching him get fatter and fatter until he bursts like Mr Creosote
 
No nothing about him, but it is refreshing having new faces rather than the usual managerial merry-go-round. There were rumours TLB was in for the job so the fact he isn't back polluting Scottish football is a bonus.
That all said, I wish the new Aberdeen manager nothing but pain and failure. A Thelin basturt!

Pollutes my ears when he's on Sky.
 
The guy that was rejected last time around they now go to cap in hand to appoint :))

Give him a month with that clown of a chairman and player trading with Monopoly money and he’ll be primed for the off in no time
 
Very well thought of manager who was highly in demand. Had English Championship sides after him as well.
 
A progressive appointment that might mean a change of fortunes up there, as he looks to change their style of play, thus helping the overall standard of the league, both domestically & potentially in Europe. He might finally help break the stereotype that Scottish clubs need to be hammer throwers to be successful, something many in this country have been crying out for for years.

I wish both him & the sheep nothing but the worst next season.

He'll be a Rangers hater within a week and he'll be complaining about refereeing decisions after games against Rangers. Nothing surer.
 
To go against the grain of the thread, it would be refreshing to see Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs all be good at the same time. The better they are then the better for the league and the better for us in the long run.

I know that's not popular, but I'd rather be watching us win a competitive league with tough matches than have a procession to the title.
