I’d kill for that trackie jacket.

Takeover huh? Not really sure what it all means, but I’m sure it’ll become apparent soon enough. I fear that the tales of staying at Pittodrie may just be fans getting their hopes up, but certainly it’s much more likely than it was before. I’ve already got pictures of a Vicente Calderon-esque Main Stand with Pittodrie Street running underneath in my head. If they were to chuck a heap of cash at the club, a redeveloped, innovatively designed Pittodrie would be much more useful than an expensive squad IMO. Keep the squad where we are, leave a superb stadium as a legacy, and build from there.

Having said all that, I do feel that this is likely to be a Hibs-esque business as usual takeover, with more Jon Gallagher jobbers popping over at odd “Landon Donovan on loan at Everton” intervals.

When’s Funso Ojo back?

Thats what it feels like reading the statements. According to Cormacks statement most of the £5m is toward running costs for Cormack park - which is fine, it means its not a drain on BAU football costs.

I dont think it feels completely transformational yet, but the Atlanta tie in is interesting.

Can quite believe that

Obvious to anyone from watching their joint interviews that Cormack and Milne don’t really see eye to eye 

They’re very different people

And thank f**k for that 

Yes, definitely. I think they've stated before they never really got on before the return of the mack.

The zoomers will be expecting big players (in relevant terms) being signed etc but not likely to happen.

Absolutely not going to happen and anyone that thinks that is in for big disappointment.

Listened to the press conference in full and Cormack went to lenghts to state it was Evolution NOT Revolution.

Also appears that there is going to be a ninety day period whereby Cormack, Eales and the rest of the crew are going to take stock of things.

Nonetheless, exciting times to be an Aberdeen supporter.

With the greatest respect to my home town, Eales would have to be off his nut to swap Atlanta for Aberdeen, certifiably mental.

Less chance of getting shot whilst nipping to the shop for a pint of milk here...

 

 

Our form dependent, obviously.

Depends. Mastrick shops etc

So far I've survived not being shot after nearly 3 years of living in Mastrick. Avoiding the bams is an impossibility though

Ha, a walk past the Grays Inn is always eventful at this time of year.

It will also provide a global platform for both Aberdeen FC and Swire Oilfield Services to further establish our brands across the region whilst helping to foster new relationships”.

It does conjure up images of 30 bemused Arab teenagers watching McKenna and Considine roll the ball to each other for 10 minutes, before one of them hoofs it 70 yards.
