As I said if McInnes told him he wants to go to the Huns he should never have been allowed in the dugout in the last 2 games,he should have been put on gardening leave.Quote:

Well jog on then mate! Hell of a lot of fans if not the majority come from not just Pittodrie street and surroundings...... but west, north and south and with AWPR in place take less time to get there.Quote:

Sell the ground, say £15m plus taking this as a deposit for the new project, with local, national, public (there will be some) and international investment would stand us in very good stead for a good mortgage on the remainder. Plus we get a new stadium (family focused) and training facility that actually awakens us from the 20th century!
Statement doesn’t say theyve not met the release clause though does it. If they are lowballing us (highly likely with those arrogant scum c’unts) come out and say it - tell the world they are arrogant penny pinching minks who can GTF as despite knowing what’s needed they are at it trying to get him on the cheap.Quote:

Call the c’unts out for what they are.
Of course if I’m wrong (wouldn’t be a first) and he’s just straight told them to GTF despite them meeting all release clause requirements I take it all back.
I know which option my moneys on though....

What Milne could've done is, as soon as the "Del to Sevpigs" roumurs started is make a statement thus -Quote:

Wouldn't have stopped the speculation but it places the onus on Sevpigs early to put up or shut up.
Instead we've been outflanked by Traynor.
Yeah but we’re working on the assumption mcinnes told him he didn’t want to go and that it turns out he now does - so basically Milne has been lied to which is hardly his fault.Quote:

This is no doubt rangers plan.
Inversneckie - Would the media care about being banned from pittodrie? No. So not sure what the point in that approach would be?
Agreed. Get it built.Quote:
