  1. Have you seen the accounts for last season? We finished 3rd in the league, ok only got to 3rd and 4th round of the cups but also got to the 3rd qualifying round of Europa League which brought in gate receipts and prize money. After that we still made a loss of about £1.2m after tax. granted that included for a de-valuation of Pittodrie by £2.5ish Million. But still, there is not huge returns to be had in the Scottish game unless you get to Champions League or even the Europa league stages. It would take a huge investment and would be a huge risk. If you failed to qualify for Europa League stages you would take a huge loss. I wish that we could get a sugar daddy but unfortunately that doesn't happen in Scotland for good reason - Sky and BT are not really interested in our game as everyone is watching the EPL.

     

    I hear ya chris but with a little more investment im convinced we couldve done so much better.

     

    We shouldve beaten apollon and we havnt even got a great team.

     

    With 3 or 4 decent signings we couldve gone way further i believe.

     

    Guess we will never know

  2. You know what pisses me off?

     

    This manager debacle is annoying , frustrating and slightly depressing I guess.

     

    However, what really pisses me off is why can't these big millionaire shareholders not see some foresight and put some money into the club?

     

    Their investment would probably assure us of a second place ffs.

     

    Therefore gaining a financial return for themselves surely especially with the opportunities of getting to the league stages of Europe.

     

    Fuck the Huns and Celtic ...why can't we be interested in more than them.

     

    Let the new FOREIGN manager belittle them publicly by spending some fucking cash and stating our interests lie on Europa while we beat them during our journey.

  3. With all this fucking shite going on I'd completely forgotten we had a game on Friday.  fuck knows who's taking charge of the team and fuck knows who's going to play.  I'm guessing it'll be Sheerin taking charge?  What a complete mess.

     

    Oot

    Bed

    I may get up for this one

    work around the farm

    2-0 Dundee.

     

    You'll be job hunting anyway lol.

     

    How's all that going Manc.

     

    4-0 dons n a show of defiance.

     

    Unless of course Dundee are reported to buy our stadium which will really fuck us up.

     

    :confused:

     

     

  4. Would you all honestly hate this guy now if he went?

     

    He's been here and done a decent job but I want a change anyway.

     

    His family are down near Glasgow right?

    He's an ex hun right?

    He's shown enough respect to dons fans and AFC in general right?

     

    I just can't hate DM.It's easy to call him a hun cunt etc but as I said before, there is no way he wants to fuck us around on purpose.

     

    I think he's the consummate professional manager just wanting to be successful really.

     

     

  5. Of course it is. No way he's staying now. This whole thing has been a total clusterfuck from start to finish - not of our doing necessarily but it is what it is and we have to deal with the fall out swiftly.

     

    Get him moved on. Let everyone connected with our club move on.

     

    Results and performances in the last 5 weeks or so have been utterly pitiful in the main.  There is no way we would have lost both matches to the huns if McInnes's head hadn't been turned.  He's not focussed.  4 out of the 5 goals v them came from the left side. The two goals on Sunday were near identical to the two lost at Pittodrie v Motherwell.

     

    Players pick up the blame for that too, but for that to happen to a manager at his level is scandalous and not what you'd expect of him at any other point of his time with us.

     

    Sorry bobby but i disagree with ur huns games points.

     

    I said after the cheeks game at the start of the season that rangers looked better than us even with pedro at the helm.

     

    They have had some shit results but they went at celtic far far better than we had done.

     

    Something was clicking with their players yet not quite there yet.

     

    It was there in these last 2 games even tbough I with red tinted glasses said they were shit due to my abject hate of them.

     

    Its us that are shit.

     

    :-\

     

     

     

  6. There is no way he wants to purposely hurt or anger any dons fans.

    The guy has been a gent throughout his tenor here.

     

    He may be sitting at home chatting to his family, mates, agent or whoever about this and what he should do.

     

    I hope he's not put in the same boat as Jack by fans, who was a cunt about it).

  7. Ach im not sure if i can show any malice towards DM at this point.

    He's taken us to another level but I feel we need someone new now.

     

    I still say our ambition should reach far beyond beating celtic and the huns and for me we must go foreign.

     

    Thanks for what you did for us DM but hurry up and fuck off now and let's move on.

  8. I think the best policy for any manager, sportsman or average worker is to shut up until they accept an offer.

     

    You could argue he has a duty to the fans to be honest but the world doesnt work like that and the press certainly dont.

     

    Whether he goes or not, he's handled it in his usual correct way.

     

     

     

     

  9. Can AFC dock players wages because Logan shouldn't be paid for about a month having let Windass in for that 2nd goal.

     

    Fucking shocking.

     

     

    There's a few points we all know I think:

     

    Ross is quality and should be playing a lot more.

    We have been shite since Apollon game.

    Rooney is shite.

    Wright should play every game.he has class but doesn't always show it.

    Shinnie needs to stop getting fucking booked.

    Formations are important but mean shite if you havnt the personnel or individuals aren't good enough.

    May isn't as good as McInnes thinks he is.

     

    I would still give Maynard time.you could argue he didn't get fed any decent balls too.

    Play him with May one whole match, if he's utter dross then drop Him forever.

     

    We are fucked at the moment.

     

    Whether DM goes or we can get players in in January, something has to change.
