Nah still dont resent him going there, it will be horrible to see him play for them but the guy had been out of work for good wee while, especially for a young footballer. I have gone through a similar experience (obviously not as a footballer) in recent times and then had a good job appear out of the blue, trust me in his position you would have done exactly the same.
Glasgow is closer to birmingham than aberdeen is. 5-6 hours in the car compared to 9-10, it makes a difference
just saying
