Pudgie Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 First he was saying that we should move on from the cheating that went on for over a decade and now Celtic qualifying for the CL groups is a good thing for us and the whole of Scottish football. Why, if he's so out of touch with the fans, hasn't he been told to stop doing interviews or to blatantly avoid answering the question? 10 4 Link to comment

zander Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 He's going to mastermind a whole stadium move to Kingsford though Agreed the decision to drag the club miles away from its current home is far worse than him answering a few loaded questions from the Weegie press. 1 5 Link to comment
Old manny Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 His views on both subjects in no way reflect the opinion of the vast majority of Dons fans. It would perhaps be beneficial if he had an Alastair Cambell type minder who could kick him very hard on the shin under the table when an akward question comes up during interviews. Link to comment

Dod Yule seems capable of avoiding being dragged through the mire, and Cormack hasn't said anything daft yet. Trying to sell season tickets and Milne's in the press pretty much saying "well that's the league fucked for the foreseeable, but 2nd place though lads, eh? How about that!" Link to comment
shooftahmooftah Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 He keeps bending over to the old and new firm. Maybe he has a contract in Glasgow to build his hen houses. Aberdeen should let one of the directors do the press interviews Milne sounds like a yokel. Neep fairmer 1 1 Link to comment

manboobs109 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 How mean spirited and petty would he look if he moaned about a fellow Scottish team doing well in Europe. It's normal for fans but not a good look for a chairman. I'd imagine we'd be getting similar praise if we'd made the Europa groups. 6 3 Link to comment

And it's not a good thing for us. He said it was good for Scottish football but bad for Aberdeen...Saying "I think it's great news for Scottish football" as chairman of Aberdeen doesn't really mean, to me, that he thinks it's bad news. He goes on to say that it's going to be difficult to reign Celtic in but does that mean he's happy for them to keep qualifying and for us to be also rans every year? I'd much rather he said that level of European money makes the league unattainable for anyone who can't possibly get that level of income. Link to comment

I'd imagine him refusing to answer a question on how well Celtic were doing in Europe would be construed the same way as talking negatively about it. Fine for a fan to do, but not as chairman of one of the top clubs in the country. 3 1 Link to comment

He's said it's good the Scottish clubs have managed to gain some extra income for doing fuck all but it's not going to help anyone get closer to Celtic as they're going to receive £30m.

It's not a terrible comment to make, but when you add it on top of all the hun stuff it just pushes him further from the fans. What has he gained from saying what he did? Link to comment

He says himself that Celtics income makes it harder to challenge. At the same time, £250k can be the difference between signing several players for the smaller teams in the league with clubs like Hearts, Hibs and ourselves getting a decent player or two in. He could of course have simply said "I am here to talk about Aberdeen football Club only" This is not rocket science and it does not alienate the fans.Anyone who feels alienated by those comments needs to take a look at their life. In one thread we're in hysterics because folk reported a joke made in poor taste whilst getting up in arms because our chairman said another team doing well in Europe was good for the other clubs who gained some income from it. 1 Link to comment

For me he should have been talking up the good things that are happening at our club like the summer signings, retaining our management team and the anticipated move to a new stadium with first class training facilities in the near future (hopefully). There is plenty there to talk about in an interview without discussing the Glasgow clubs which we are all sick hearing about. Link to comment
