WesthillWanderersFC Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Stewart Milne's tenure has been failure in the main.He ran up a debt of £15m and was bailed out by the Donald'sHe left Pittodrie neglected and it's now a shitholeHe's appointed umpteen shite managers.I could go on... If this means that we show a modicum of ambition (within reason) and a bit of spine with the football authorities...If it means we will not be seen as the subservient, quiet club that we are just now...If it means there will be a general lifting of the apathy that permeates down from the present Board...If it means no more drinking from the huns loving cup (ok that bit was an unnecessary dig)....if those things happen, then I'm fine with it. I've said to the McInnes haters, that change is needed at the top before we even think about McInnes.We now have it. I now wonder how safe Derek Mcinnes might be in the future, seeing as Milne was his number 1 backer?.... 3 2 Link to comment

Betty Swallicks Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 There's no need for the turmoil if done sensibly Put it this way Cormack can't do any worse a job than Milne has over his tenure Exactly! If (big if) this happens anyone who is negative initially is bonkers. Link to comment
minijc Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Exactly! If (big if) this happens anyone who is negative initially is bonkers.sceptical of Cormack and why yanks would be willing to pile cash in for little to no gains (so far) and if other rumours are to be believed Cormack is a power hungry mad man. 2 Link to comment

strachanmcgheegoal Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 There's no need for the turmoil if done sensibly Put it this way Cormack can't do any worse a job than Milne has over his tenure Both those sentences need close scrutiny. The alignment of them together also concerns me. Link to comment

V for Vendetta Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 It's about the only way we'd ever challenge the OF. Even then only if a billionaire owner fancied changing the course of Scottish football and spend massively to do it. Got to be just a rumour surely? Link to comment

Ke1t Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Yanks at least know how to run a sports club. You go to even a bush league event like Detroit City FC, in a ground that holds far fewer people, and it's a far, far better experience than Pittodrie. Multiple merch outlets, beer stands, food vendors, dedicated section that encourages rowdiness, kids allowed on the field after the game to meet the players and get autographs... minimal policing required. The clubs here appreciate that the fans are their lifeblood, rather than a bunch of annoying wanks who need to pay their cash and shut the fuck up. Would be delighted to find out that this rumour is true, though Cormack would have to overcome the Aberdonians' natural hatred for change and dislike for seeing people have a good time. If he can figure out a way to get the fans on board then it would be a brilliant turn of events for the club. Link to comment

strachanmcgheegoal Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 No brainer for me. 1/ Does he have money? 2/ Does he have experience of, or at least appear to crave, success? 3/ Does he need to sook in so he can sell shite houses in the Central Belt to Hun call centre 'executives.'

Ke1t Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I have a hard time believing any rumours of good news regarding AFC, though I never believed Rangers would die... so anything's possible. First signing needs to be in line with our new status as top dog in Scottish football. Any one of the French, Belgian, or Spanish national squads would probably be a step up from our usual signings.

eddiec Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 a lot of ifs, buts, i believe etc from Chris Harvey but he's saying that Pittodrie will not be redeveloped Link to comment
Woolenrouge Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Holy fuck. It's true? Abandoning the new stadium? When you think about it, Cormack could sell the idea to his American invester mates of buying their way into the CL via Scotland as a LOT cheaper than trying it elsewhere. Link to comment
