September 21, 201114 yr comment_114807 ..then they wouldn't have re-hired Leighton but spent the money on players. They wouldn't have given the fat orange balloon a contract extension. They wouldn't have employed Willie Miller when his wages would have been better spent on players. They would not have employed Miller's mate, Craig Fife Fuck, as a scout. They wouldn't have an extraordinary number of non-productive staff on the books all draining resource that could have been spent on players. They would have tried to increase customer numbers, not devastate it beyond redemption. It's obvious that football, "the product" is not Milne's priority. He lied to us at the Capitol. Add to the list here. Report
September 21, 201114 yr comment_114808 They wouldn't have let pittodrie fall into a state of disrepair to the extent that the only option is to build a new stadium. They would have built a purpose built training and youth academy. Report
September 21, 201114 yr comment_114815 Miller has gotta take some of the fuckin blame. He's the director of fuckin fitba - and the fitba isnae fuckin working. He's is the common denominator along with the board. He's not the Director of Football though, is he? And we were shite for the 10 years before his re-signing. Report
September 21, 201114 yr Author comment_114820 Aye let's blame Miller and Leighton! Nobody blamed either of these two. Read it again. Report
September 21, 201114 yr comment_114821 ...They would have spent money on the squad when we were second in the league going into the new year. Report
September 21, 201114 yr comment_114822 They wouldn't have employed Willie Miller when his wages would have been better spent on players. The problem here is that I very much doubt they'd have bought better players. I'll add: - Strengthen the squad when we reaped the rewards of the Euro run instead of letting the squad crumble. Report
September 21, 201114 yr comment_114826 - Strengthen the squad when we reaped the rewards of the Euro run instead of letting the squad crumble. That's the turning point. Everyone could see his ambitions for the club when none of it was reinvested into the first team. I will be forever left wondering what if, because no club outside the old firm have had an opportunity like it. Fuck, even the old firm cunts were proud of us. For that Milne you are a cunt. Report

Yes and particularly the bit in bold. The other point is that Miller also has responsibility for youth development, it appears that has been revamped. Maybe it is time for him to fall on his sword but above all, money. The team needs investment or there simply won't fucking be one. Report
September 21, 201114 yr Author comment_114832 The problem here is that I very much doubt they'd have bought better players. Me neither but if, as he said, Milne's priority was always going to be "the product", his actions totally contradict this: - the wasted time and expense with Kingswells the incredibly poor managerial appointments the increasing debt the negligence of Pittodrie 1.5 non-productive staff to every 1 member of the football staff the hiring of a useless DoF for political reasons only the lack of investment of the £2.2 MILLION profit sanctioning a £600,000 feasibility study granting a contract extension to a man who was never going to get another gig allowing numerous coaches and scouts coming out of our arse tolerating the divisive PR which alienated the fans, which he then admitted in writing He's been selling us down the river. He lied to us in the Capitol in 1996. That's my interpretation and always has been. Milne is, as far as AFC is concerned, a cancer. Report

September 22, 201114 yr Author comment_115029 You've said this before - what are you talking about? Milne said, on stage at the Capitol during the AGM, in public, that "the product" would always be the priority. He lied. Report

September 22, 201114 yr comment_115088 The least Milne could have done is pay a couple of builders to build a brick before the game infront of our goals then knock it down and build it up the other end at half time Report
