rocknroll Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Strong football budget? We'll see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsr Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 The budget this year was a lot lower than last. We've got a new stadium to fund and two massive cup defeats, three if you include Sigma, which have cost the club a packet of money. All I can see is a reduction in budget again and the hopelessness of it all just overwhelms me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just hoping someone out there can bring some positive thoughts to the table, hopefully they don't include Aluko. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā I've never heard Milne say he expects a top three finish.Ā At the 2008 AGM they said they budgeted for 5th place in the league, and we went on and finished 4th.Ā No idea what the actual league targets for this season are though.

tsr Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Sure I read they budgeted for top 6 and being knocked out of the cups early this year, maybe they have more foresight than we thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madbadteacher Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I spent over an hour last night trying to describe Tuesdays shite and our season as a whole to a lifelong AFC supporter friend emigree. It was wholly depressing: my only positive thought was "this time next year I'll be abroad too!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you dont have to sit in the freezing cold watching the shite on the park but it still hurts as much. For those saying they wont even look up results even that is hard. There are times we have been out somewhere and I have been thinking for 2 hours until I get my text from my parents. How are the Dons doing, whats the score LOL. Maybe I am just a sad bastard LOL.
