Sometimes stuff crops up relating to the club with no other thread to throw it in.


Anyways, we have a new Director of Recruitment. Nuno de Almeida is his name and was an Assistant to Jimmy over in Sweden. He has been working as our international scout since Jimmy arrived and replaced Frank Badlan, who was the previous incumbent.

Hopefully he lasts a bit longer than our previous few.

Hmm club firmly putting all their eggs in the JT basket.
So presumably this guy buggers off when JT does, meaning any new manager will be without a head of recruitment when he comes in a la the Glass era.

Hope behind the scenes bit less shambolic when that time comes.

Still welcome Nuno ⭐️⭐️

We've had about 4 in two years, so I'm sure we'll survive IF the worst happens.

Let's hope he can unearth a gem (or two) for us in the upcoming window.

That is shyte news. Feel sorry for Milne, as seemed on the verge of a starting spot in the first team.

New Director of recruitment seems to have his head switched on and be likeable to boot

The club has released a statement responding to the P&J's scurrilous rumours that we are scuppering the council's big beachfront plans.

Unlike a few on here, I dont trust the club on the matter of a new stadium.

We have a chairman worth approximately ?500 million and investors worth billions. It's not the local council who should have to pay for it, although they could help facilitate with the land.

Should have been sorted years ago and I apportion blame to the baldy, bankrupt builder who should have nothing g to do with our club now.

You cant trust the club at all when it comes to the new stadium. It?s been 2 decades of mismanagement and outright lies, although obviously most of that is on Milne

It doesn?t sound like Aberdeen has the most competent of councils either

Part of me is glad we haven?t built anything yet as with these people involved, it would?ve been absolutely shyte
