Given that our competition were cheating, spending the money was never going to work.

Keeping the club going ( and in the top division) through the years when the bank called the tune wasn't easy and no doubt personal guarantees from him helped keep us afloat.

Look what happened to other clubs, relegations, administrations and liquidation.

His wish for Sevco to be strong and his desire to move from our beloved Pittodrie weigh heavily against him.
I agree with you to an extent but he had us in a massive black hole financially and now wants to send us down another one.

His choice of manager has been shocking but someone like Skovdahl coming to Aberdeen now would be impressive, Paterson was an obvious choice being up and coming, McGhee is a club legend and has experience and a decent couple of seasons at Motherwell, likewise Brown.

The stadium issue and all the pish about it being a deathtrap and ultimately the Hun issue is enough for anyone to want him to get to ****. It's odd that people defend him.
