Millertime Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 5 hours ago, Byrne Baby Byrne said: I guess you and the other miserable bastards (sorry mate, its monday morning) can have your own list of legends that nobody else cares about. The club have called him a legend... therefore... LEGEND! Miller, McLeish, Clark, McKimmie.... every player in that top 5 is a legend. Some were just lucky to play in an era when money didn't make it so hard to win trophies. And Aberdeen were lucky enough that it meant league 1 teams in England couldn't take our players. If we had that 1980s team now they'd have all left for pennies before we did anything significant. So none of them would be legends..... we'll never have another Aberdeen legend again if the bar is set to multiple trophies. 18 seasons, a trophy, Scotland international recognition & 3 player of the season awards. Its not terrible. No, it's not But its not legendary either Link to comment

redcryptoknight Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 The handling of the AC/JG spat worries me a little. Reminds me a bit of when Mark McGhee came in and kicked out Jim Leighton as GK coach. Started his tenure on a mean-spirited note. Link to comment

Considine had the chance to sign up, he wanted more and the club correctly knocked him back. The club has done nothing wrong. 100% Correct He’s clearly struggling to return to fitness (subbed off after 48 minutes), having been out all season. He’s 35. And his agent wants £3k per week for 2 years. Fuck that. 5 Link to comment

I thought he was offered 2k a week for 1 year and he wanted 50% more over 2 years ie was offered 104k but wanted 156k over 2 years which works out at £1500 per week? So less per week but 50% more overall? Link to comment

Schapenneuker Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Andy was pretty shabbily treated by Goodwin, who seems to have used him as a very public 'I'm putting my foot down' example. Aye, Andy's agent fucked it up, but the club should have dealt with the whole scenario better than they did. Making a final offer, then quietly leaving it on the table for Considine to either accept or reject would have been fine. At least then they would have afforded a long standing club servant the dignity of choosing his own path. But to remove the offer then poison the water by making things public smacks of awful man-management by Goodwin. If Aberdeen were winning games under Goodwin.....or even putting in decent performances.....then fans would probably cut him a bit of slack in his dealings with a club legend. But we're doing neither, and he seems to be replacing actual winning performances by a adopting a hard-man with players image. 1 Link to comment

He probably has a lot more respect for the club than the majority of those siding with the club over him without actually knowing the goings on surrounding the situation. As for those ‘thinking’ they know the real story ? Link to comment
Ke1t Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 WWFD? He's have been merciless. Certainly wouldn't have kept an ageing, potentially injury-risk player who is, let's be fair, average at best despite being dedicated.
