There's no worse way to break up than when one party doesn't have the heart to say FUCK OFF, and the other party doesn't have the brains/dignity to realize they're not welcome anymore and just FUCKING LEAVE.

was about to say, offer both, hope for one, expect neither...but fee? nae chunce. Just agents using AFC to bump up the price with the clubs they're genuinely speaking to. Saying that though, to play along with the pointless exercise I'd take Nish over Kyle any day.

Whoever does go up will be going straight back down as the three of them are rank. My bet is cardiff - cue a year of 'if a welsh team can do it then why not the OF?'

I doubt we'll be able to get Hart, would love to but whatever, Mulgre, Kerr, Ghost should take note - don't burn your bridges because you have no reason to be confident you'll succeed the next place you go. Ungrateful cunts like them would never be welcome back in a million years.

Souter went to a Cypriot 2nd division team because they were offering him way more than any scottish teams. Admittedly that might be because Scottish teams all know he is shit.

so...is this actually news that they're being released for sure? If not, why do we need a new thread for something that's discussed on about 15 others?

Any time I've seen him he's been as much of a bomb scare without the shot stopping ability of Langfield. Virgo has had a horrible inevitability about it since the moment he was released. If Aluko would move to league 1/2 then he's a fuckin nut job.

Aberdeen manager Mark McGhee is set to offer new deals to defender Davide Grassi and goalkeeper Stuart Nelson. (Daily Express) An exciting start to what will be an exciting summer on the transfer front. I'm moist in anticipation.

or Aluko, zander or goalkeeper jerseys

I'd be amazed if any of this turns out to be anything other than complete and utter horse shit.

Just as a matter of interest, can anyone remember a captain of any club talking about the club he still represents with such disdain? What a fucking dick. I genuinely want him run out of Aberdeen by a crowd of kosh waving thugs.

He's burned his bridges with the fans. That interview would encourage any smart football club to withdraw their offer, but unfortunately Aberdeen not being a smart club there's still a horrible chance he'll be there.

I'm absolutely outraged by this idea. It means we finished well below a team who clearly have a raving lunatic in charge!

Fyvie was about 3 years old last season. Not ready for blooding. Pawlett had a few runs, looked too lightweight in terms of strength to avoid injury. Played this season and fucked for half of it. Which makes the giving him some sub appearances instead of starting 11 look like the better decision. There's no reason to believe Paton wouldn't have played just as much this year under any manager, he was about to get punted out on loan, and further, his natural position is being taken up by Mackie as well as a loan signing, so not really giving the lad any more of a chance. Mogwai got dinted out the door after not getting anything like as much of a chance than under the last manager. So many invalid excuses for poor decision making by the board.

I like how the question implies that having Wayne Rooney wouldn't have improved the team. The answer, yes. Yes, Wayne Rooney would clearly have made AFC a better team his season. Or even better, Messi...or 1 of maybe 1 or 2 hundred players who are of a quality we can't recruit. Next question?

No. And I can't see us taking more than the 250 or whatever it was that went to Hamilton.

They're legal (I pressume) crooks. The amount of profit they'll get on the sale of those properties could give us...ah fuck it I'm tired of thinking about the ways things could be like if certain people weren't just basically cunts.

That's what I mean. The recession was looming for a good couple of years before it hit, just as the collapse of setanta was looming for several months before it happened. The club seemed to wait until the shit hit the fan to actually make the changes that, either they already knew needed made, or, possibly, suddenly decided in a short space of time had to happen. If so then it was a knee-jerk reaction to do it when they did. We could have waited a year, assessed what the economic climate meant in terms of belt-tightening and THEN restructured everything. The timing was ludicrous and not only cost us lots of money to implement, but left us in a position where we have no idea how we can even budget to get out of the shit we landed ourselves in! What fucking team are we looking at having next year?? People saying the timing to change manager was necessary are having a laugh. It was possibly the worst time in the last 50 years to put the club through the upheaval it has been.

I'd strongly suspect that's not true but if it is then get Leitch right to fuck. It would also mean nobody could possibly claim Miller is not harming the club. We're needing to rebuild and yet all the expectation is we're going to sell off all our assets. Frightening times. Who the fuck decided an economic recession was a good time to start a rebuilding job in the first place? Milne presumably. For that dreadful decision alone he should be strung up by the scrotum on Union street and pelted with shit.

That would be fantastic!

So THAT's why our pitch is such a mess! Suppose I was a bit quick to say it looks ok. Just looks like a stadium. I really fuckin hope it has some character about it though. And the 22nd April document 'Pittodrie no more' lists adjacent training pitches as a key feature of the new place.

Probably someone's just dreaming up a possible resignation issue. 'Oh no I didn't leave because of how shit my first season was, they fired my assistant so I was left with no alternative but to resign. I'm loyal. I stick by my people...Giez a joab?'

Sounds no bad. Even though I still don't fancy the whole idea.
