Summer Transfer Window (Stephen Glass’ first)

[donsdaft]

My memory’s not what it was.
Couple that with an extreme shortage of memorable Aberdeen players over the past 30 years and it causes a problem.

I have no memory of Clark Robertson playing for the Dons at all.

Maybe because your brain has saved you the anguish of remembering the disastrous 9-0 drubbing that was, after all, only 3 points dropped...

I cannot believe Robertson coming back was ever considered as a realistic option.
On a number of levels.
I'm begining to worry about this "project".

Despite a seive like memory similar to your own, I do remember one robust challenge from Mr Robertson near the corner flag at the South/ Merkland corner. If my memory is correct it was more memorable because he took out a hun in making the tackle.

[donsdaft]

Aye.
It’s beginning to get a bit worrying.

Like re-signing Dennis Wyness was the first inkling that Steve Paterson didn’t know what he was doing.

That's what I was trying to say that something isn't adding up if you take cormacks video saying a good few exciting players will be brought in and glass will be backed financially. Probably only meant in wages.

Ramirez if it happens might do well but then again who knows.. We wont be splitting the top two this season, it'll be a fight for third probably! 😴 But might manage a final or 2.

Unless something pretty dramatic happens, we’ve basically been lied to.
Is the starting eleven for this season looking any better than last seasons?
Despite all of Dave Cormack’s hot air, I don’t think it does.

I realise we'll never be crazy net spenders in the transfer market like either version of Rangers, nor probably ever neutral spenders. However, if we are ever to progress, surely when we rake in £5M as we did last season (£5M more than Hibs, Utd etc.) we need to give a good whack, 50%?, to the manager to spend. Imagine having £2.5M to hoover up McGrath, Boyle, Campbell and other worthwhile SPL players to start the process again. If that's not the model then what is, hope and pray for a golden generation of kids to break through and hang around for a few years?

the first inkling that Steve Paterson didn’t know what he was doing.

I think that the first inklings were the regular reports of his hushed-up unprofessional Saturday night activities in Inverness and Fochabers, including reported temporary overnight incarceration, when he was managing the Masons.

His unsuitabilty was common knowledge apart from inside the Pittodrie boardroom, it seems, and due diligence in exposing his unfortunate gambling and booze issues wasn’t completed. Or maybe he was the cheap option.

Was he that cheap? We definitely offered a better deal than the PJMs

Up there with the very worst decisions Milne made. Everyone on here knew he had serious problems.
