I agree. I think he's ok and any friend of Tenerife Dons is a friend of mine. I'll buy him a drink (a half) in Dec. 1 Link to comment

Dynamo Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I think Cormack still thinks it's the 80s. The majority of folk under 40 would have known nothing about Garner til he started comms on RedTV. It's not like they've put Willie Miller on the board. Link to comment
ABERDEENROWIE1903 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Odd appointment I simply cannot see what he brings to the club or boardroom Hopefully he won't be commenting on Red TV anymore that would be bonus Link to comment

Maybe the secret devious plan is to catch all those unsuspecting older people with declining brain function and huge pensions to leave all their money to the Dons ?? Seriously though, I'm not sure exactly what he brings in terms of business side of things, seems like he is just a nice guy who cares about the club and is good friends with DC. I think DC has maybe brought him in on boards as he thinks he is a down to earth guy who speaks normally with everyday people so might connect better with the fans than some of the others who are on the board. If he gets Willie to tell people that the future plans are good they might believe him more than when Wicks and himself talk as most people think they are just bullshitting. Link to comment

Great if we can get a couple of decent players in on loan but the way the modern game is going in general thoroughly depresses me. We will be just one of 15 clubs to be used by Juve. Unbelievable that they have 120 players across their first team and under 23 sides. 43 of which are currently loaned out. 1 Link to comment

These 'tie ups' with other clubs have never, ever had any benefit for Aberdeen. It's just another ego trip for Cormack. 1 Link to comment

I'd be more excited about taking players in the Juventus setup/radar than the Atlanta one however. Link to comment
