With the 4th highest budget in the league it stands to reason that we should be in the top 6 every season, personally I don't think that this should be considered as achieving something. Clearly the european run last season exceeded expectations, but only because aberdeen as a club have under-achieved for so long...again I'm not convinced that we should'nt expect this sort of run on a fairly regular basis.
We have improved considerably since he took over, there can be no arguement about that but as for taking the club as far as is possible....this is a ridiculous statement as we have won nothing.
I think, by his comments that he wants to go and I cant say I really blame him, but if he really wants to leave with a feeling of achievment he has to at least win the cup.
The 3 year contract he recently signed now looks like good business as we would have to get compensation that would allow us to head hunt the next boss with less restriction.
I hope he stays though, as we are starting to look like we could at least pull away from the non OF teams.
