I didn't ever say hearts would be miles ahead of us. I've said plenty of times that it doesn't matter how bad we play we will still finish 3rd or 4th because everyone around us is ****e as well.

If Hearts were deducted points and in a shambles then they probably wouldn't have got relegated but that really doesn't matter.

You can't tell me the league is that difficult?

It’s a sh1te League with pish teams because everyone is skint.

We are pish but other teams are pisher.

I never said it was difficult I just don’t think it’s as easy as you are trying to make on.

Anyway who cares,enjoy the game if you are going.

Was it not also a pish league pre-McInnes when we regularly finished 8th and 9th etc,

There’s that attitude in qualifying for Europe should be a given.

Aberdeen managers have always had one of the biggest budgets in the league compared to other teams,it certainly hasn’t always been a given qualifying for Europe for them.

Alex Miller and Skovdhal had bigger budgets than McInnes has had.

Well on the one hand you say we've always had one of the biggest budgets and then you remind us how much Motherwell were paying players in the 1990s?

I think Dundee were paying out huge amounts in the early 2000s, Hearts from around 2004-2010 and Hibs and Dundee United had players in there squads they were selling on for millions.

Shovdahl did spend some money in Scandinavia but my recollection is that the core of his first team squad was made up of youngsters, Anderson, McGuire, McNaughton, Young Bros, Mackie and Clark.

I don't remember who Miller bought but, in my mind, that was the lowest point we ever reached as a club (although position wise we would fall further under Skovdahl) and as an outlier should not be made in an comparative assessment of McInnes.

McInnes has done OK but there was an opportunity to do better which he failed to take...

That was me that mentioned how much they were paying.

The bottom line is, Rico agrees with me and therefore you, that it's been a missed opportunity due to how ****e he is.

We’re short of midfielders?

For f’uck sake

Skovdhal spent a lot of money on players.

£300k on Preece
£400k on Stavrum
£400k on Zero
£400k on Solberg
£300k on Gunveit

Alex Miller blew a lot of money on Hignett and spent £700k on Winter’s plus Dodds.

Aldo is trying to say I agree with him but he doesn’t realise I only come on here these days to disagree with him

I’ll assume he means we’re without 2/3 of the 3 he’d pick in the first X1.

It would be Ojo, Ferguson & Bryson.

WTF has happened with Gleeson? Is he still alive?
