RussellAnderson Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 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? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they've stated before they never really got on before the return of the mack. 5 hours ago, Green Day said: Thats what it feels like reading the statements.

The zoomers will be expecting big players (in relevant terms) being signed etc but not likely to happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lubo_blaha Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Good post but getting in about the uglies just isn't gonna happen. You could appoint Klopp Guardiola and Mourinho in a managerial triumvirate they still couldn't get Aberdeen within ten points of second.What an utterly bizarre post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less chance of getting shot whilst nipping to the shop for a pint of milk here... Our form dependent, obviously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illgresi Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 I've been in the city for an hour and i've already seen a zombie wearing a *** top, and a tim with a hat and scarf. Aberdeen used to be hostile to these cretins. What's next; will they be opening up shops? f**k sake lads... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDon99 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Cosgrove is some player. I may be getting a bit carried away but in my mind he surpasses Rooney as our best striker this decade and possibly this century.*Despite the fact he's only been scoring goals for a year... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
