DWIGHT YORKE believes that the duopoly of Scottish football would end if he is appointed as Aberdeen’s next manager.
He’s been very vocal about the job, expressing his desire to take charge in the North East despite having just the one previous managerial job. The claim he has made is nothing short of ridiculous, and something from a fantasy world. It would take a great manager to come in to even pose a challenge to The Rangers in second place, never mind displace them.
In full, Dwight Yorke said: [Daily Record]
“Mark Bosnich is a good friend, I promise I haven’t paid him to say I can win the Europa Conference League with Aberdeen! We know that Celtic and Rangers have had a stranglehold over the league for years and no one has been able to break that hold.
“There is a good opportunity for me to break that hold in the right setting with the right backing. I can understand the high expectation because that is how I am as an individual, things aren’t impossible. Before anything happens, I have to get the job first, this is just based on what Bosnich has said.”
The Dons job is a poisoned chalice in many respects. They’re never going to break the Celtic and The Rangers cycle, and challenging for a cup is about the best they can do. The budget a manager operates on is limited, and while they can try to progress in Europe, it’s hard to do that with the funds available.
