True, our impression of you is entirely formed from how you behave on here, you might be quite bright in the real world.
Back on topic - dividing £42k (or 48) by the size of the squad doesn't tell you anything about the maximum wage available.
Hayes signed a new contract with us in January to ensure we got suitable compensation in the summer.
Jack let his contract expire after being brought through the youth ranks, then left for nothing.
Hayes clearly and quietly reached an agreement over his future intentions with the manager in January.
Jack publicly gave the manager assurances he would never join Sevco, then did the exact opposite.
Hayes earned his place in the team and the respect of the fans through his performances and professionalism.
Jack demanded to be made captain just as reward for staying.
Hayes made Aberdeen a better team than we would have been without him.
Aberdeen made Jack a better player than he would have been without us.
Just think Trumpian:
"We will build a team,and it will be an impenetrable, physical, tall, powerful, beautiful team, and we will get Celtic to pay for it."
Ach well, I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Hun cunt .
Can't say it's much of a loss to us really - he's already been replaced by Tansey, and now we have an actual captain in Shinnie.
If that's the best that Sevco can manage in their "season ticket war chest" overhaul, then we can look forward to focussing on Celtic next season, rather than having to worry about what's behind us.
There is also the small matter of purdah - local authorities tend to avoid any form of decision making that could potentially be perceived as politically sensitive in the runup to an election (general or otherwise).
Well, that's the Daily Express for you.
I wonder if the media can link a rumour to each of our 1st team & staff before Saturday.

Hemmin, that disnae help out fans like me.
I propose Christ Church Meadow - nice and central, mostly flat, easy to keep the pitch well watered, good transport links with everything south of Aberdeen. Barely anyone uses it anyway and they're mostly a bunch of punts.
