Dons_1988 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Hard to know how to feel about all this. Will be keeping a close eye on the detail of everything as it comes out over the week. Milne won’t be remembered with any misty eyes but he’s given an awful lot to the club personally so he goes with my respect. His failings are well documented though and ultimately he’ll never be remembered as a success. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milne has been McInnes' biggest supporter at the club and Americans don't f**k about when hiring and firing. Glad to see Brown is being kept on as an ambassador. Skinner has been crucial in the evolution of the AFCCT so for him to continue in that role makes sense. Hopefully this is the start of us actually achieving something. You do realise that Dave Cormack isn’t American, don’t you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty clear that he's not going to be the sole influence in the boardroom. The yanks won't be chucking money at us to have no say in our performance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahahahaha. I took it to mean their investment is to improve the scouting etc. AMB Sports & Entertainment (the parent company of Atlanta United) is investing £2million into AFC as part of a new package of investment, led by Dave Cormack, totalling £5million. This will provide working capital for the Club’s day to day operations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All seems great in theory but I always remain sceptical about these things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't doubt it's good that Milne is gone and can leave on a more positive note than was ever possible before but sometimes it is better the devil you know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lofarl Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Will be interesting to see what happens both to Aberdeen and Hibs with Ron Gordon. So far aside from the initial investment we’ve seen nothing on the playing side at Easter road. Unless this guy just likes to buy teams starting with the letter A then perhaps we might see Aberdeen really crack on and be in the mix for titles soon. Either that or it’s gonna be a Vlad with Hearts and Kaunas situation. Actually can we have that? Scottish football needs another bonkers chairman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also in that same chat I was told Cormack is no fan of mcInnes and he is on the proverbial shoogly. He'll have to up his game or he'll be oot ...as my source said, Wiggy was given an ultimatum, hand over or the money was off (allegedly). Hardball from Cormack, looks awfully like the plan was there all along, but he let him get the Training Complex up and running to at least leave with something as a legacy. Very interesting times upcoming for the Westhill Wanderers He's an idiot then, McInnes is the best Aberdeen manager since aferguson, has done an absolutely outstanding job, and the chances that Aberdeen could find a better manager are virtually zero. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think anyone could seriously look at McInnes time in charge and disagree that it has been anything other than outstanding and a massive success. And realistically the chances that Aberdeen could recruit a manager who could do better are vanishingly small. How could be do better? Celtic have 6-7 times Aberdeens budget, Rangers have about five. Third is first for Aberdeen, that's winning the title. There's no chance Aberdeen or anybody will ever separate the old firm again, it's just not possible. Give my mum their budgets she finishes above Aberdeen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
