Think that's a bit of a myth - fans withholding buying a season ticket dependant on whether a player re-signs or not?Quote:

I, like you & many others, are already pretty disillusioned with AFC & the football we are playing. I'll almost certainly end up renewing just before the early bird deadline as I usually do - but its more to do with the fact going to fitba with my loon is the thing we do together, rather than any burning desire to watch more turgid hoofball & Considine lumbering about the park for another 12 months.
When we get the final announcement that he's leaving, that's not going to help the apathy & negativity situation one bit. I'm sure the club would rather get as many ST's renewed before its confirmed publicly as possible.
I think in an ideal world the club would announce between the semi-final and final of the Scottish Cup. The negative news about Shinnie offset with the Cup Final build up. Therefore, I can understand why they haven't announced it yet...But he's definitely leaving so we should really stop with the comparisons to the Logan situation a couple of years ago.
To be fair, there's only one poster that's comparing the Shinnie situation to that of Logan.Quote:

What fact do you have that he is definitely leaving.Quote:

A more accurate reply would be "the same was said about McLean leaving"...and he did.Quote:

If it's England, good luck to him.
