Believes if he fails at Forest then he can still have a decent career in England at lower level whereas is he fails at Aberdeen he likely ends up at Cove or Peterhead.

You can't argue with that really. I suppose the financial side of things is superior too.

I worked with a close relative of Jack Grimmer and he has done alright for himself down in England.

Quite a few clubs up here lost young prospects to England during this recent window, which possibly suggests something needs doing to try and stop it.
Aye another impact of PSR rules down South. They’re gambling more on youth. We can expect it to continue now.
I get why they’ve brought them in but the circumvention (ridiculously long contracts and inflated prices between related clubs) makes them a mockery. There were some very suspicious moves again this window. The whole shebang needs revised.

Anyway back to Aberdeen. Likewise understand the family’s POV. Been main disappointment of JT so far.
I understand not throwing kids in when we’re on a bad run but there were opportunities at start of season.
