PondHopper Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Training facilities seemed important. I didnt get the new stadium when they need every penny (American club afterall) for wages. Hope all you foreigners continue to support this American club. I'll bring my flag to stake in the pitch. Hope to see scouting outside of the uk now too. It's the American way afterall. I'll mail a CD or something with our National Anthem. No kneeling. This aint the NFL lol. Yankee out. 1 1 Link to comment

South Stand Seagull Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 The thing American sport executives do better than anybody is generate marketing and ad revenue. I would expect some bigger sponsorship and advertising deals with American owners. If rumors are true about the Atlanta United guy, that is terrific imo. A few years ago Atlanta United didn’t have a football club. What did they average this year, 50k attendance per game? I believe they set the MLS attendance record. and have won a league title? Atlanta is an American football town, to build that in that city is very impressive. Mls is surpassing Scottish football, mainly because they do fantastic is ad revenue and marketing, drawing large crowds in niche markets. Almost every MLS team has a new stadium that does very well, so I’d be really encouraged about them taking that model to Aberdeen Link to comment

Americans just want talent on our club.Well hopefully not more Gallaghers... I’m more interested in the business side of the American soccer model, and how we can mirror that. The mls clubs have proven a strange model yet successful model , where you build buzz around the club through new stadiums, local marketing, etc, to get the fan base excited, making for a good atmosphere.. then that buzz and atmosphere brings the better players. Seattle, Portland, Atlanta, all used that model. Instead of using players signings to build excitement and larger crowds - building grassroots campaigns to build the crowds first, and use that to recruit players. Interesting model Link to comment

ericblack4boss Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I'd expect a regime change in the coaching side the yank model would involve a DOF or sporting director then a first team coach.Hun dmc has had his own way on that front for too long so can see that going down like a calf scour milkshake. Also the timing just ahead of the agm and the festive fixtures that are traditionally big crowds 2 Link to comment

V for Vendetta Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Scottish Football is ripe for a huge upset tbh. Still expect the investment will actually be very modest but fucking hell it would be amazing to see someone just smashed the whole OF obsession shit to a million pieces. 2 Link to comment

Sonoftherock Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I've got a pair of season tickets in the hipper but not actually been to a game in ages, new regime and someone in charge other than Milne and i'll return, mediocrity has worn me down, cup win now and again, having a real go against the tax cheats, I don't want a lot. I don't think Cormack is involved for the blazer, he could shack up at home and have a great life without getting involved with our dire city, just may be the real deal. I’ve never thought Cormack came back here to make up the numbers. Neither do I think he’ll ever be happy with Aberdeen being ‘also rans’. Will wait and see what develops, but definitely cautiously excited. Link to comment
muttonhumper Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 What exactly is/was his role at the club? I don't mean title, I mean what does he actually DO?

Kiriakov33 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Apologies if my last post was a tad negative. It’s the dour “I’ll believe it when I see it” Aberdonian in me. What does excite me more than any £££ is the changing of the guard. New fresh blood in the boardroom replacing the dinosaurs currently in place. As a few mentioned above yanks certainly know how to market a product. And certainly not afraid to kick arses if the product is dire. Will be very interesting to see how this all unfolds.
