och well we're kinda fucked!
catch 22, we need an exciting product on the park to entice fans back through the turnstiles and put money into the club on a regular basis, thus we have some money (however small) to invest in the squad.
We need investment in the squad to enable us (theoretically) to play better and exciting football giving fans an exciting product on the park......
and on, and on, and on, and on and ariston!
If i was loaded (like Mr Milne) i'd invest. But i'm a die-hard fan, i know that any money i'd put into Aberdeen (or any other football club for that matter) i'd never see a return from. In reality, a football club is like a fancy hobby for the rich.
in terms of making money, football is a major no-no
can't really blame him for not investing, but i'd hope he'd have the decency to step aside if some other crazy millionaire (preferably billonaire) came in and wanted to invest in the Mighty Don's.
