Aberdeen Football Club and Atlanta United are entering into a strategic partnership that is geared towards boosting football and commercial operations for both Clubs.

 

 

AMB Sports & Entertainment (the parent company of Atlanta United) is investing £2million into AFC as part of a new package of investment, led by Dave Cormack, totalling £5million. This will provide working capital for the Club’s day to day operations.

 

 

As part of Atlanta’s investment and the partnership arrangement, Darren Eales, the President of the Major League Soccer Club and former Executive Director of Tottenham Hotspur, will join AFC’s Board of Directors.

Hopefully we can swap Curtis Main for Josef Martinez for the second half of the season,

Their home top is really cool, might get it for 5's.

If they loan us anymore players like john Gallagher the partnership should be ended.

I guess it works both ways, they'll likely be selling them at Pittodrie soon.

Both made by Adidas so very possible.

There's some more info from the Atlanta perspective here:

https://www.ajc.com/sports/arthur-blank-buys-into-scottish-club-aberdeen/AEVHJagFsTmHLgRgi7LGFJ/#

 

'Eales stressed that the investment of 2 million pounds ($2.57 million) was agreed to as a means of sharing best practices between clubs, including construction, fan engagement, scouting and youth development'

 

'There are also MLS clubs that have “sister club” partnerships with clubs around the world. Eales said the investment in Aberdeen is different because AMBSE has a financial stake in the success of the club, which means consistent attention and cooperation will be exercised.'

 

'Eales anticipates the scouting departments working closely together to help identify talent. Atlanta United has done well identifying and recruiting talented players from South America. Aberdeen is strong in the United Kingdom and Eastern Europe.'

[Don Fonte]

Strong in Eastern Europe...lol

Surely a one way street that one?

Maybe referring to Torry.

The Atlanta MLS top is ridiculously expensive. In Canadian currency its over 130 dollars. Next time they come to Montreal and play the Montreal Impact I might go see them.

 

I read some Atlanta fans hope they loan us George Campbell. An 18 year old Defender who has never played for their first team. Sounds like another Jon Gallagher. 

 

There seems to be mixed feelings amongst the Atlanta Utd fans about this partnership. They were hoping for an elite European club such Bayern Munich.

They’re shite

 

J Hewitt. Mar 83.

Just get a Bournemouth top and a magic marker. Job's a good un.

Yeah I'm not sure what we're going to teach the club with the 10th highest average attendance (globally!) about 'fan engagement'.

[Don Fonte]

I wonder what the Atlanta hat is like

You're welcome.

'We are Atlanta. You better shut your mouth'

[Fridge]

I’ve always been intrigued by “you’re going hone in a fucking ambulance”

 

Surely they would be taking you to hospital?

[strachanmcgheegoal]

50:50 scarf ordered.  Red and white on one end and white and red on the other.

[Gilwern]

Dunno which kit this is but it's somewhat similar to ours. Thieving bastards.

The clues in the background.

 

I mean the kit itself - don't think it's the 1st kit. It could be a training top or something.

[Guest the shepherd]

This is Atlanta !

"We are Shadwell...." has got more to it min.

Read the first few pages and it seems oddly civil for an online discussion:

It's just us who are mentally deficient lunatics sadly. I recall the Burnley forums being very civil too  

[RedRichard]

Btw almost all their 'South American' players seem to be from Argentina. Be naive to conflate that with actual quality. Will be interesting to watch some recent highlights from them.
