Less cheek from you cunto.

 

You joining us to watch the game on Saturday in which case you can buy me a beer to apologies. 

I may just do that, it'll be worth it to watch that new found optimism of yours sputter out like a used candle.

I say this everytime they have an offer but why not have these offers in the gate, rather than a stupid deadline.  At least they are trying something but even the effort of arranging tickets in advance is too much in convenience for some, especially when the stadium will be 2/3rds empty

The cynic in me says that it si the club can turn round and say that they offered cut price tickets but nobody takes them up, therefore they would be as well charging full whack regardless.

Hibernian (Home)  - Win

Inverness CT  (Away) - Draw

Hearts (Home) - Win 

Dundee United (Away) - Draw               

Kilmarnock (Home) - Lose

Rangers (Away) - Lose

Wow Jute.

You been  takin happy pills? This is spectacularly optimistic for your good self.

Dear milne.

We all hate you. We are sure you know this. So. Do something (for once) to show that you have the best interests of AFC and its team at heart.

If the best CB we have had since the 80's want to come back to the club and he is fit, then instead of saving a bit of cash that you will use to punt Brown and Knox, why dont you use it to strengethen the squad up. I know this is a crazy idea, but hey, you never know. It might buy you with a little good will from the supporters. 

Merry Christmas you crook

What, when all thier players walk out for fek all? 

Aye 

 

I see where you are coming from, how can you say McGhee and now Brown hold no culpability for the situation we are in now. Yes we could splash more cash but already we have far bigger budget than the majority of teams and still find ourselves skulking around at the relegation zone.

My point is actually the opposite. I believe that we are in now such a mess that we are beyond last minute transfer splurges. In fact, if money does become available in, say January, the question (which was asked post Euro run with calderwood)  WHY THE FUCK DOES THIS CASH NOT BECOME AVAILABLE TO GIVE THE MANAGER A FIGHTING CHANCE IN THE CLOSE SEASON TRANSFER MARKET? Instead of grubbing around in second, third or fourth choices?

But like I say, as you point out mizer. we already have the third (or whatever) biggest budget outside the old firm, so its not just about money is it?

better?

This mess is completely the board of directors fault.  We had assembled a great squad in 06/07 which went on to finish 3rd.  They then cashed in to the first bidders and have chronically underinvested since. Its not MM or JC's fault.  The current predicament is a result of cutbacks to wages. 

 

I only wish that the board had given JC the near million quid it cost to repace him to spend on players last summer. I think we would then have been looking forward to europe again next season.

 

Déjà vu folks?

 

 

Yay. someone gets it!

 

This is the AFC way. If the rumblings of discontent get too loud. our intrepid board of directors take the short term option time and time again.  They sack the manager. Twenty years this has been the cycle of failure,

 

League position slips under current manager.

Red army get pissed off

board say they support the current emcumbment

Red army get more pissed off and moan louder about it

board say they support manager again BUT GIVE HIM NO MORE CASH TO WORK WITH

Relegation/embarassment looms. sacking

drag in new manager

Start at top

 

All this has been is a diversion from the utter ineptitude as to how this club is run.

 

So, he is therefore a scapegoat

I posted the above a year ago. So folks, where are we in the "AFC cycle of dispair" this year?

I reckon  we are about to get the first Milne special-"The manager boys deein fine the noo, he hiz the full backing of the board". while we lose a few more points between now and the new year. The evil mutterings will get a bitty louder whilst attendances drop.

A bad name for how we treat managers?

McGhee - Even he admits he deserved to be binned, he should have been gone sooner.

Calderwood - Awarded new contracts and increased budget quite a few times after failures - 5 year tenure.

Paterson - Had to let him go as he was a jakey.

Skovdahl - Some awful seasons but backed by fans and board

Miller - Again no argument

 

That takes us back to the mid 90s.

Yes a bad name. We are a laughing stock and pricks like daily retard journo's are loving every minute of it.

Whether you agree or not, three managers we have had have been decent.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebbe_Skovdahl

Ebbe, Calderwod and Brown, all decent managers spanning Milne's tenure. If a manager who has won 4 league titles in Denmark and three cups and a manager who last took his national team into the last international finals that we can remember cant produce a moddicum of success with AFC who have the privelage of being the only SPL team in the third largest city in Scotland then quite simply, despite one or two awful managerial appointments ("that cunt" miller and Paterson, who, to be fair looked like the next Derek Adams at the time) I refuse to fully blame the managers totally.

Something is endemically wrong wityh AFC and the only constants in this fucking dreadful episode of the clubs history has been mr. Milne and Mr. Miller.  I fully believe that we are being killed off by these two ego's, hellbent on creating some kind of legacy.

Well the only legacy that is coming thier way is the death of once apon a time Scotland's third team.

As a club, I think we now have to be very careful. We are getting such a bad name with how we treat managers. The Pittodrie "revolving door" is becoming increasingly wider knowledge.

Turfing yet another management team isnt the answer. I think in the upcoming AGM some hard questions need to be put to oue esteemed board of directors. Even, if it could be organised through the sheer, utter apathy something along the lines of:

We as fans ands supporters believe that Aberden Football Club has previously been mis-managed and believe it continues to be so, having after 15 years in charge nothing of any consequence had materialised in your (Mr. Milne's) tenure except an ever reducing standard of playing staff and an ever increasing debt, with the laughable plan of plunging the Club into a huge deficit of circa 30 million pounds. As the current financial climate shows, this is not prudent, nor "building for the future". We as fans will continue to refuse to attend games until either

1) There is wholesale change to the buisness model, utilising potential funding streams from around the Aberdeen area. (One of the weathiest in Europe) and director membership of the board.

2)Mr. Milne's shares are put up for sale as recognition of his failed tenure as gaurdian of Aberdeen Football Club.

sranraer is brutal. Both with distance to travel and lack of anything regarding civilisation.

Good riddance to yet another mercanary cunt.

cowards. pathetic self justifying ignorant fools.

Could it not be the case that Milne will end up getting pittodrie On a cut price deal to continue his interest as backer of debt to the club once the new legoland structure has been built?

Has he not hot previous on shady underhand deals on getting prime land at knock down prices from Aberdeen city council?

Fuck all -

I don't think we will get as much as we would want. Especially as we are heading towards recession. The worst possible time in the clubs history to do this business.

I'm pretty sure the reason he's not on the committee handling the sale of the stadium/land is to avoid a conflict of interest.

 

I'm not sure why we would want to stop him bidding anyway, the more people interested in the land the better price we get for it.

Spite. Sheer spite. Pure and simple. Prick has had his way with so much in the Aberdeen area, it would be great if somebody stood up to humans he lost a potential fortune.

Is there a way of stopping Stewart Milne bidding for the land as this is a conflict of interest?

With this news, I am now of the feeling that the critically ill patient is now slipping towards death.

I can express no joy at this news.

Fuck your nasty cheaply built generic lego replacement.

I hate stewart milne and what he has done to my football club.

4300

I honestly don't see the point in getting rid of Broon. The problem is Milne. Whoever we get in we're just going to have to pay off 12 months down the line anyway. Going down to the 1st division might be the kick in the cunt that Milne needs? Although that's assuming we came straight back up which I just couldn't see happening.

The problem is with this is that failure is already accepted with milnes regime. In fact the only humiliation there is now is to be relegated. As long as the club survives one way or another the board don't seem to care.

Failure and mediocrity are ok. One more humiliation won't matter to Milne.

no. It would make no cifference. It would be like polishing a turd.

i went for the "its too early to make a difinitive decision" option.

Did i fuk.    MILNE OOOOOT!!!!!

The brand of AFC has suffered irreversible damage. The club itself won't die, because while its current fleeting stewards may possess its share capitol and squad numbers, its spirit lives within us.

The charlatans can obsess over mid-table obscurity and absurd imperialistic plans for gaudy, inaccessable stadium no one wants, or will visit, until their hearts are content, for their time will pass and AFC will have better days when they are gone. Enough people still retain the will and the fire for it to be so.

 

 

 

 

Absoloutly spot on.

This should be sent to the board by post every day until they leave. And when they do, OUR club will be a shadow of itself. 

I think we will lose this. Murderwell have something to prove to thier own fans as well. The previous 10yr record is fairly evenly balanced and I think as a team we are on an utter downer.

So he's personally financed a couple signings?

 

Whoop-dee-fuckin-doo!  Each and every one of us has 'personally financed' the club over the years but the difference is we were constantly doing so.

 

He's only decided to chip in after cutting back so much that it now it looks like we're going to drop a division.  Where was his money to personally back managers whilst they were flying high in Europe?

:clap: :clap:
