Thought provoking post Bobby.
My youngest and myself were talking about this very subject just the other night. He has just turned sixteen, we have one one trophy during his lifetime and even then he can't remember it. I'm of the opinion that better times are around the corner for the Dons. JC for all his faults, brought a degree of stability and respectability back to AFc in the main. It would appear that he probably wasn't going to kick on from that, and that mediocrity was probably going to be par for the course. From what I've seen from Dingus to date, I think he might just kick us on. Some might say, he has inherited a number of good young players rather then developed them and brought them through, but he hasn't been frightened to blood them. I like the way Dingus and Leitch seem to proactively be seeking out new players, well ahead of transfer windows, and certainly give the impression of being better organised than the previous regime. Next couple of months, could prove very important in terms of our progress, i.e can we get who they want in during Jan, and secondly can we resolve the out of contract players they wish to retain.Feeling optimistic today, and predict better times are ahead, it won't happen overnight, but as they patience is a virtue
