xGav8 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Craig Brown has confirmed this afternoon that Richard Foster will be the new Aberdeen FC captain for season 2011/12. Richard spoke to RedWeb shortly after he was told the news this afternoon "I must admit it came as something of a shock when the gaffer told me he was making me captain as there are more senior players in the squad. It's a tremendous honour and a privilege to have been asked and I will do everything I can to justify the faith the manager has shown in me. I played under Russell Anderson and Scott Severin here and learned a lot from both of them and I'm sure that will stand me in good stead. "It's not just about the skipper though. You can be the best captain in the world but if the team doesn't gel, it won't happen. However, I've seen enough since I've come back to the club to see that this is a close knit group and one that gets on well together and we're all confident ahead of the new season."

Azteca1903 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Fair enough really. Barring a decent new signing, the appointment was always going to be a bit underwhelming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc_don Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Not overly concerned by this, fair enough. None ofus can say he ever burnt his bridges whilst he was at der hun. As long as he gives it his all whilst he's here, thats all I care about. I'm surprised it wasn't Mawene though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glasgow sheep Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I think this is just for tonights game guys. CB stated he would be trying various captains out before deciding. Mackie was captain vs Brechin and will be Captain vs Villareal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyBiscuit Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I think this is just for tonights game guys. CB stated he would be trying various captains out before deciding. Mackie was captain vs Brechin and will be Captain vs Villareal says on Redweb it's for the season. Thought it was between him and Mawene for it, considering Mawene's only signed for a year and Foster's been here for a while it makes sense I suppose.

Penfold Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Joke decision. Rightly or wrongly this decision will split the fans, exactly what we don't need right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Split the fans? Just fucking why exactly? Fans who find themselves "split" need to get a life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_min Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Either the best or worst decision Brown has ever made. Looking forward to finding out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
