The Main Problem

[NaeMairNeeps]

So that's why our budget is so high this season. Curtis Mains wage.

Might I suggest, players fa get themselves sent aff for sheer stupidity, or are nae fυckin use on the field o' play, earn their hoorin big wage through their suspension/non selection/form-slump, by joinin the Shuttle Bus Arena construction squad and save us a few quid in labour costs?

Outcomes?

1. Harden the cυnts up
2. A deterrent .. encourages greater effort in games
3. Exacerbation of 'minor' but recurring injuries tae the point they cancel contracts and go sell double glazin ... freein up wages
4. Encouragement tae think wi their brains - nae wi their studs .... as an alternative tae nae thinkin at aa beyond hummphin bricks.

.... rankles hard wi ma sociopolitical view but fυck! ... ken?? ... its FITBA!

Milne is an absolute buffoon. If he is being paid handsomely there needs to be questions asked but there won’t be. Milne afforded Calderwood the same autonomy as he has given McInnes. Honestly, how many players has he signed in the past two years that have worked? Ferguson and maybe Hedges. It’s so infuriating to see our ‘third biggest budget’ being squandered on either sh1te or crocks.

I agree.

Milne is the biggest problem.
Get rid of him and McInnes no.1 fan disappears.
New chairman appoints a new manager and a new RECRUITMENT team.
McInnes & Richardson don't cut it. Proved that in the last 4-5 transfer windows.
We should have more success in the transfer market and improve our "hit rate"

All moot though - Milne and therefore McInnes are going nowhere as long as we're finishing top 4 and getting European football, a trip to Hampden on average once per season.
That's good enough for Milne

I don't know who I'd target as manager if I was Chairman, but I do think change would be beneficial.

Need top three to be sure of euro fitba.

I'd go further. I think we should get rid of everybody at the club. Total start from scratch job is required.

When I kept tropical fish I was parking up beside the aquarium shop at kittybrewster.
I saw Kiriakov coming out of the bookies there and walking over to the bar at the Northern Hotel.
It looked like he had settled into the Scottish way of life just fine.

I recall at the time a lot of people seeing Kiriakov in the Casino on a regular basis.

Maybe settled into the Scottish way of life a little too much.

Good thinking. Curtis Main belongs on a building site, not a football pitch.

It's a ginger thing.

As memory serves, I saw the aforementioned errant Bulgarian in The Lemon Tree with a lady on each arm and one of those big stinking Russian cigarettes, that Steve Sillet use to sell, protruding from his little fat fingers.

The Scottish lifestyle certainly suited him and he stayed another year with Airdrieonians and Raith Rovers. He was with us for FOUR years!! I barely remember him but I stopped attending matches between 1997 and 2000.

As for Curtis Main, if we've outbid other clubs to get this boy in then our recruitment is in urgent need of an overhaul

Kiriakov, allegedly, trained with the youths for two or three years whilst trousering a pay packet of the order of five grand a week.

I'm sure he has a picture of Roy Aitken in every room of his house.

Three stretch in the big hoose?
