WHO’S NEXT AT DONS?

- ■ Peter Davidson & Andy MacKay

CHRIS WILDER

The Englishman is believed to be interested in the job and would be an eyebrow-raising appointmen­t from the Aberdeen board.

Wilder impressed at Sheffield United when he got them promoted from the Championsh­ip to the English Premier League in 2019.

PAUL PA LAMBERT

The T former Scotland and Celtic captain’s success at Wycombe, Colchester and No Norwich saw his star rise. Som So much so his successive promotions at Carrow Road and then steering the Canaries to Premier League safety won him the Aston Villa job - but then the sack.

GEIR BAKKE

If you haven’t had ‘the text’ then are you even from Aberdeen? Seriously, Geir Bakke’s name has been bubbling under the surface in the Granite City for some weeks.

But is there anything in it? Well, we are about to find out. The Lillestrom boss has produced consecutiv­e fourth-placed finishes in the

Eliteserie­n.

NEIL N LENNON

We can’t confirm any great affiliatio­nf Lennon enjoys with AAberdeen but the Irishman appearsap the safest bet of all the ccandidate­s in the mix.

The 51-year-old has won 12 major trophies in his career with silverware secured at Celtic, Hibs and in Cyprus with Omonia. Lennon is itching to remind everyone of his worth.

DAVID MARTINDALE

If ever there was a soundbite which aided a potential candidate’s case it was the leaked video of Martindale reading his underperfo­rming Livi stars the riot act as they trailed Stenhousem­uir on Saturday.

A key factor to consider when linking with Martindale with any alternativ­e gig – and this is vital to note – is that he has final say on every decision made by the Lions.
