The reality in that we cannot financially compete with some clubs in our league.
We cannot go and spend £2.2M on a left back or £9Million on a striker.
I love this club too much to risk it becoming defunct.
I’m not so sure we could recover as SevCo have or the diets.
That’s not to lack ambition, but a reality of where we are and a belief that we can over achieve with our resources, again.
Well at least you won't have folk pointing you out and laughing.
Three subjects are going at the same time because they really are linked.
Build the f'uckin training ground by all means.
If that means we have to cut our cloth just a little closer to the seam then fair enough.
Probably worth it in the longer term, jam tomorrow etc.
But, give up the idea of this stupid new stadium NOW.
I don't post a lot but read the forum daily. That kinda sums up how I feel. Training ground, crack on, but people need to realise that wiggy will spout any ****t to get his way. Redeveloping Pittodrie is possible, it's just not part of his masterplan. Once Pittrodrie is turned into flats we'll be left with a cheap tinny stadium in the middle of nowhere and a long term debt the club can't afford. If we can't afford a decent transfer fee, how are we going to pay for a 50 million (and a lot more as that estimate is way short) mortgage
Run up the white flag..........I'm certain everyone knows full well we can't compete with the Weegie 2. I can't recall anyone saying we should spend 2.2M or 9M on A N Other. We can't compete with Hibs or Hearts, that is the fear. Hibs especially have bought well. All players who would have improved Aberdeen. Even the loan signing of Hyndman is creative. He was decent at the Hun and is a good addition. I bet he never was a thought inside Pittodrie. Anyway you wish to spin this it has been a shocker of a transfer window for Aberdeen. To say we work 2 windows ahead is ludicrous. Not to over simplify things, but financing the stadium and training ground must be impacting bringing in quality. Our manager has been positively backed since he arrived both in transfers/loans and wages. Lets see him operate a level down and now with stronger challengers. Gone by Jan/Feb.
