aberdeen1970 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 The DNA scheme needs to be revisited imo. Especially now we are bringing in millions in transfer fees. If it was 50% of your cash directly to the youth set up and 50% for fan share purchases then I'd be interested. Otherwise they can just have my season ticket money and that's their lot.

That would be like me saying you can't comment on a new stadium as, being a Canadian, you'll be unlikely to set foot in it. A fan share system is far better than a donation, that way supporters get a return on investment. Link to comment

We need creativity, flair, and guys to get the fans excited. If they want bums on seats at Pittodrie we need a statement of intent, something bold, balls out. So far we just look like a Jim Goodwin team. This is as much a test for his personal evolution as a coach as it is for the resurgence of our team. I’ve seen him make tactical and selection mistakes that Glass made earlier in season and I also am not convinced he understands the club. He couldn’t get a new manager bounce and now he’s got rid of the players he couldn’t get a tune out of, it is all on his head now. A marquee signing would be perfect but a statement of intent will do. Let’s see it. 3 Link to comment

A marquee signing would be perfect but a statement of intent will do. Let’s see it. Yeah. We still need a left sided CH (core squad not Scales/loan) We also need at least one creative mid (same as above/core) possibly even 2 so one that can play wing also. We also need another decent striker as a fk load of faith has been lost on Ramirez. so I see it as needing 3 (very good/possibly even marquee) core squad additions still needed to give us a fighting chance & other luxury/bonus loans for top up latterly in window. Plus of course we have potential youth promotions like Duncan. squad was utterly shite last season (& that is no exaggeration) we’ve binned a bakers dozen & brought in 5 core & 1 loan Still a lot of work to do & even more so if Ferguson goes because (regardless of split opinions) he was one of the 3-4 ‘dependable’ players last season & Ramsay has already gone. Worries me that JG seems to see Kennedy as some kind of ‘new player’ that eases the load on the job that was required this window. 1 Link to comment
