Stewart Milne our Chairman....

[Red_Don]

He was very reluctant to sack Smith but I’m not sure if he would have put up with finishing bottom,getting knocked out of cups by lower league teams etc as much as Milne has.

To be fair, our record for picking decent managers was pretty awesome while Donald and Anderson were at the helm. With Turnbull, MacLeod, McNeil, and Ferguson (arguably the best of all time) on our books at one time or another, they can be forgiven for Bonthrone, Porterfield and Smith.

Milne's record, by comparison, is hideous.

To be fair, Celtic had a training ground as far back as 1960.

Training grounds only really became fashionable in the 90s.

Since then, Milne has somehow allowed Pittodrie to become a death trap.

I know you aren't sticking up for him but he's an absolute shambles of a chairman. As backwards minded as they come. His only achievement is to not have us going into administration.

Not sure what his other qualities are that afc1903mad thinks he has. Neither does he though.

Spot on.

[Mr_Grieves]

And how did that work out for us....

Going by your logic we don't need a training ground now.

There's only one ground in Scotland that's a death trap and it isn't Pittodrie.

Running Pittodrie into the ground to achieve it seems to be ok for you.

[Macaroni_Pie]

I agree, its a disgrace that we've never had our own training ground.

Pfftt! Fit's wrong wi' Seaton Park?

Porterfield was unforgivable

I agree but that's not what Milne has been feeding the gullable.

[donsdaft]

There's b'ugger all wrong with Pittodrie that a coat of paint and a few new seats wouldn't fix.

And, obviously, bring back the bath.

Where have I said that ?
