I'm still undecided on whether McGhee is more competant than JC in managerial terms but watching that vid its pretty refreshing hearing articulate, transparent and honest words coming from an Aberdeen manager. I'm still miffed as to where our money is going though, surely Duff, Young et al aren't eating up too much of the circa £100,000 weekly staff budget?

Apart from when he was hospitalised after a fight on Belmont St a few days before one of the biggest games of the season. Good appointment though!

Aberdeen's turnover averaged around the £7m mark for the past 4 or 5 seasons, with the exception of the European run season (£12.5m). Apart from the clubs receiving EPL parachute cash (Newcastle, Sheff Utd etc) or with huge attendances (Leeds, Norwich, Notts Forest etc), Championship and League 1 clubs have similar (or smaller) incomes to us, Hearts, Hibs etc. So why are they more competitive than us? I would assume that it can only be one of two things; they are spending outwith their means, or they are receiving much higher transfer fees from EPL clubs. It's probably a bit of both.

good night was it andrew?
