Summer 2022 thread!

[Bisconti's balls]

We are owned and run by charlatans. We used to have standards but from the late 90s onwards successive boards and chairmen like Milne and now Cormack have turned a once big and powerful club into a minnow.

Tottaly EF ! Cormack is an imposter. And a c unt. I had doubts abt him since probably 2020
Looks a hella dodgy fu cker tae.

I am still awaiting this signing we can all be excited about… Any news anyone??
Ramadahni was signed before our ( for the time being) manager made dreadful statement so it’s not him. Can’t be Scales as he has only played a handful of games and surely it can’t be Richardson who has come from tier 5 English football.
Now my fear is JG believes his own hype and makes ridiculous decisions and statements, ie when he told the players he that they had no future at the club, then that back fired massively. Guess what bold decision but the wrong one.
We have now signed 3 we have hardly heard about .
I am am now extremely pessimistic about the season ahead as I do not think this man is capable of managing our team.
He comes across as a my way or the high way type . This is hardly the characteristic of a great manager or someone who can pick players up when their down or improve anyone with his coaching abilities.
Two cases to remember.
1. How he dealt with a great loyal player Considine, was an absolute show of arrogance to Andy and the supporters.
2. When he had taken over and claimed he was a hands on manager on the training pitch, did we actually improve or become worse??
Anymore games we were down !!

Cormack is just as much a clunt as Milne, well done Cormack you phucking @rsehole.

I hope the guy never gets a game, well he obviously has the first game of the season off already.

Shambles, yet again.

Total fkn joke and a disgrace of a signing
Goodwin Cormack and the rest of the fkn clowns need to fk off now
What is the fkn point
I have never in over 50 years been so sick to fcuk of Aberdeen football club as I am today
We really do need to just pack it all in and stop wasting everyone’s time
Fkn embarrassing

[donsdaft]

Aye but this looks a dangerous shambles.

Relegation fight shambles.


I think I was happier a couple of days ago when we had only signed one player.

Lets go for a Norwegian or Icelandic manager next time.

We should be sacking Goodwin or even try to get him sacked now. It’s an extremely lazy signing and this is not what I want to see from any Aberdeen team ever. Goodwin is now done and the fans should let him know at any opportunity.

Dribble.

I was delighted when Glass was sacked (nothing personal Stephen) as we were going nowhere under him. I didn't think we were spoiled for choice as to who to replace him and was generally supportive of the Goodwin appointment and fully expected us to make the top 6 and qualify for Europe given the rest of the dross we were up against. We didn't due to the lack of a new manager bounce, which knocked my confidence in him a bit but I kept the faith and attributed it him naively telling players too soon they were going to leave and falling out with Brown.

He made a good start in getting rid of some deadwood (JET, Ojo etc) so that was a positive sign.

I have always maintained that managers live or die by their signings so went into the close season really really really wanting Goodwin to succeed and bring in some significantly better players than those leaving. We have collected or will collect in due course more than £5M in transfer fees with maybe another £2M to come from selling Ferguson plus who knows what from Ramsey down the line as well as having saved a huge amount from the wage bill from those that have already left. So more than enough cash to make huge improvements in the team.

I know it's early days yet but a nominal fee for an Albanian defensive midfielder was probably okay as a necessary signing and at least showed some different out of the box thinking, but then we have a right back that got nowhere close to playing for Notts Forest for another nominal fee and then the lunacy of a loan from celtic, which is a lose lose all round. Still no creative midfielder and still no forwards, with our first game two weeks on Sunday.

If Scales plays well then fine but he can't play in four (or three?) of our biggest league games as well as there being something like a 50% chance we would have to beat celtic to win a cup without him as well. With no option to buy if he does well then you won't see him for dust at the end of the season either back to the celtic first team squad or sold to englandshire for a fee we can't afford and we are back to square one again next Summer. If he is sh1t then he won't play much and we will have wasted a season trying to improve our defence and will be back to square one again next Summer. Lunacy I tell you.

I really really try to stay positive and keep the faith especially at the start of a new season but f'uck me AFC you don't half make it hard to do so.

[donsdaft]

Think I'll tell Goodwin that he's not in my plans for Aberdeen manager.

It's only fair on the lad.

I hope he's professional enough to continue trying.
