Aberdeen have recently employed some financial wiz kid with a decent track record in sports finance / commercial revenues etc and his remit seems to be to up the revenue by a couple of million a season.
Its a half cocked plan unless the squad quality is improved and attendances increase

Funny that his appointment just about coincided with a piece of puff by Cormack about how we want to attract investment from The Great Satan and become "America's team".

It's all part of the desire to sanitise anything that smacks vaguely of passion or dissent, with Kingsford the centric part in turning us into some sort of drab, dull, game-day experience, family-friendly alternative to Codonas.

Huge close season for the Dons and to get players in
We could be on the verge of offloading and sending back the loan players that could amount to 9 players ( First team squad )
That's a huge rebuild exercise and I hope the club have in place a plan now
But do we entrust DM to make these decisions. I would agree with Red Zone that his signings ( mostly ) have flattered to deceive or complete waste of wages.
Now Miilne and the board have to step and give him some decent funding- no excuses , I don't really care how its done
Failure to provided adequate funding / decent quality signings and we regress back I would say aleast 5 seasons nobody wants that

Over to you Mr Milne and fellow board members dig deep or we will be a mid table season team next year and beyond and forget European participation on a regaular basis

We won’t “dig deep”.
We’ll spend what goes out the door, with like for like.
We have a £50m white elephant to fund.

So expect more short-term thinking with loanees from the a*se end of League One in England & beyond.

Russ Richardson’s black book will be getting plenty of action in the summer.

I can’t understand why the family aspect is so important. Who the f*ck wants to take their mum to the football?

If you want to attract the next generation, then allow the grown ups to get blootered standing up & looking like they enjoy themselves. The young uns will want a shot too

Got to agree.

Nothing story. Deflection.

The last paragraph, we'll be with Cosgrove.. not knocking the boy as he's just here but I'm sure we'll cope without..

Also, what the **** did we do with the money? Spent some of it on May but the rest?

Anyone that doesn't think the new stadium will impact the playing budget is deluded.

McInnes and Docherty's wage rise.
£150,000 for GMS.
Tansey's wages to play for Ross County.

What about the rest, plus our normal playing budget?
