My expectation: A new, exciting, twenty-goals-a-season centre-forward. The reality: Dave Cormack recreating the David Brent photoshoot for the club website. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, and that one poster is the only one to make precisely that point...but you want to start coming away with "The Giants of Aberdeen" patter like, as a support, we think we're too good the League Cup group stages. Aberdeen supporters will turn out in healthy numbers for these games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are aware that this is a messageboard where people write things and other people reply to them? Your boy wrote something, and I replied to him.

So we've got four figure attendance teams in Dundee Untied and Motherwell in Europe. I don't think it's beyond the realms of possibility that Aberdeen fans should be expecting to finish above both? But lets see how the Hearts juggernaut cope with two games a week up until the World Cup break... Expectation came from the 3rd biggest budget also but how will that compare this season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well rest assured that we Aberdeen supporters are, in general, very supportive of our upcoming League Cup campaign. Maybe if Hearts had the same dedication to this tournament as us Dons, you would've won it again yourselves since your 1962 triumph 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Anyway, surely some movement to come on signings this week. If the Ramsay deal gets wrapped up then presumably we can kick on bringing people in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you would be satisfied if Aberdeen went out of the League Cup at the group stages.

Game of throw-ins Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Sadly almost all our "respectable" seasons in the past 25 years have come under two managers, Calderwood and McInnes. Take those two guys out of the equation and our record is utterly dire. One top 4 finish I believe, although I haven't checked. All we've done is revert to standards achieved by more typical Aberdeen managers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we've done is revert to standards achieved by more typical Aberdeen managers. Calderwood & McInnes cover about 12 seasons though. Milne withdrew all financial backing for Paterson and McGhee which pretty much tied their hands behind their backs from the off, although both would bring shame to the club in their own peculiar ways so it was probably a wise move to keep them away from the family silver. Skovdahl did have at least one good season although in his case one swallow definitely didn't make a summer. Glass & Alex Miller were both shambles and should've never have been appointed in the first place... although the same could be said for Skovdahl*, Paterson and McGhee. *I was going to say Skovdahl to a lesser extent but he could've easily got us relegated. Just proof reading that makes me think that our main problem stems from a bad habit of choosing the wrong manager.
