  1. Not moving to the big smoke Chief. West Sussex for me. Last weekend in Scando-land 27/28th June.
  2. I'm contemplating heading to the Bråvalla festival in Norrköping.
  3. Nae bad min, how's yersel?

    Katie Price, or whatever she calls herself these days, is a fan.
  10. I think there was a lot of stuff 'leaked' that may aid the US diplomatically. Things like the Chinese secretly finding North Korea a pain in the ass and the Saudi's wanting to obliterate Iran are exactly the sort of thing the Yanks would want out in the public.
  11. The only time I met McGhee, and I sat at a table with him for a good 4 hours, I was left with the impression he was a cunt.
  12. None of the above. The problem is I can't think of anyone. There must be a young manager somewhere in England creating a stir. Or an Owen Coyle type appointment, that was pretty inspired by St Johnstone, we need something like that but I guess it's not an easy to find and make such an appointment. Especially at a club like Aberdeen where the pressure is now huge.
  13. This is going to hit the club badly.
  14. Maybe missing obvious...but I don't. ?
  15. Other than we couldn't really afford it Bobby. But as I say, nobody gave two hoots at the time.
  16. I think you are right Sheepheid. I think to some extent our issues are down to circumstance. During the period football encountered an economic revolution Aberdeen were challenging for honours. Then all of a sudden, due to the worldwide and national fanbase that the Old Firm have they started to grow and grow. Aberdeen supporters were accustomed to challenging and beating the Old Firm and so it was percieved by most, including probably most of the support, that we could and should match them. This was the speculate to accumulate era. Nobody at all thought this was the wrong thing to do at the time and now we find ourselves in horrendous debt because of that period in history. The fact that the redistribtion of wealth in Scottish football is skewed toward the Old Firm is a contributory factor as well. Add the fact that we are ultra skint to the fact that many, rightly so, believe that we should still be up toward the top end of the league and winning cups then that creates a lot of pressure. A pressure which McGhee and all those who have gone before cannot handle. The facts are though that the budget is probably toward the top of the 'bottom 10' in the SPL. McGhee chose to spend it how he saw fit. The fact that Ifil is one of our top earners speaks volumes. I think a lot is being made of this 'cancer' and I believe the cancer is actually the pressure that the management are not able to deal with. Calderwood is proof that a certain calibre of manager can be good enough to make a difference at Aberdeen. Yes McGhee has had a horrendous run with injuries but at the same time he is the guy who gave Ifil such a lucrative contract and decided that football doesn't need to be played with full backs. So in short, yes we all know there are problems but every other club outwith the Old Firm are working with their hands ties behind their backs. I think in this case McGhee was a poor choice as manager.
  17. Actually I'm havering pish. He took Odense to 3rd and then took over the then champions Aalborg and managed them in the Champions league. But he seems to have gone down well at Middlesboro and Bolton.
  18. Bruce Rioch. Has managed Arsenal (albiet not hugely successfully). Has applied for the job before. Has since won the league in Denmark with an unfancied side. I believe him to be unemployed at the moment.
  19. Does McGhee not normally head down to Brighton after games on Saturday?
  20. Aberdeen is fast becoming a managers graveyard. Alex Miller has done nothing of note managerial wise since his departure. Ebbe had a short unsuccessful stint with a small Copenhagen based club post Dons before ultimately retiring. Patterson is only now making a comeback at Huntly. Calderwood. Where does McGhee go next? What does it say about Milne's judgement? I don't think anybody could have predicted this would happen to McGhee. Terrible state of affairs. Who next for the Dons?
