Is that a euphemism?

For that to be relevant we really need accurate figures for how much we currently spend on Pittodrie and how much the mortgage will be on the new stadium. Without those two figures it's impossible to say what effect a new stadium would have on the playing budget. Debt isn't bad in itself if it's to be repaid at a manageable level and if that level isn't too different from the current maintenance costs then why should we automatically be worse off?
Do we honestly think a new stadium and facilities is going to take us back to the days of D'Jaffo and Mcfarlenes? that had very little to do with training facilities or lack of, and everything to do with bad decisions on signings. Even with a manageable debt, its up to the manager to make good signings and training facilities will help both attract and develop footballers. Seems to me there is a lot of cynicism even if it disguised as jest. As i have said above, the club has very little other options.
