Imo; Mark Kerr is a good player, I was pleased he signed and he had a great season last year. Performances such as Tynecastle this season proves this. Lee Miller had so much to his game and your off your head if you don't think him leaving has made a difference.

Good to hear it, about time we stopped sitting back whilst folk from the outside shoot at the club from angles, siege

Sorry, read the signing as 2004/2005 and assumed it was 2004.

The current season has not gone to plan, of that there is no doubt, but the story of any football club is one of reinvention and rebuilding. It isn't the first time that a new manager has come along and discovered that he is faced with a rebuilding task or that he has to take a bit of time to get his ideas across to his squad of players. New boss Mark McGhee clearly knows what he needs to do and that it will take some time to do it. For the benefit of any doubters, you need only take a look back at a couple of Aberdeen's greatest managers to see that it is well worth bearing with him as he begins to tackle the problems in hand. Eddie Turnbull remains a popular man around the Northeast - he won us the Scottish Cup in 1970 and very nearly gained the championship in season 1970-71. Before that, although he also reached the Cup Final in 1967, he had to steer the Dons through a couple of difficult seasons as he rebuilt and reorganised the team. During that spell, Aberdeen dropped as low as fifteenth in the league of eighteen by the end of the 1968-69 season although they did compensate slightly by making it to the semi-final of the Cup, only to be hammered 6-1 by Rangers. Eventually, though, Eddie got his squad set up the way he wanted, finding the players who would do the shirt and the Club proud and we went into an exciting period. Sadly for Aberdeen, Mr Turnbull decided to move on to Easter Road and his beloved Hibs, but he left footballing foundations that would serve the Club well for years to come. Seven years later, Alex Ferguson arrived to replace Billy McNeill who had pushed the team back to the edge of great success. With the quality of squad already in place, expectations were high in season 1978-79 but the new manager was striving to bring about changes that perhaps the players found hard to accept and performances slid back. Hard though it is to imagine now, there were many people who wanted to see Fergie fired in that season as the Dons toiled to string together results needed for a decent League run. Of course before too long the team was turned round again and took us on the most successful journey in Aberdeen FC's history. We can't make claims for how good or otherwise the current manager may be, and it is certain that he faces a mountain to climb, but he has tremendous experience behind him and is having to build from a much lower starting point than Alex Ferguson did and he needs more than a few months to prove whether the McGhee way is the right way or otherwise. Let's learn from history and give him the working room he needs.

Well you are incorrect as we spent £250,000 on Barry Nicholson from Dunfermline. In any case I think the guy was referring to the wage budget that Calderwood had. Also spent £250,000 on Lovell the following season.

Hasn't that always been the story behind this one, mind getting a text about it the day after.

Going as well, hopefully get a win

They should blame themselves, they have offered McGhee no resources whatsoever.

McGhee has a 2 year contract then a rolling yearly contract. I think he'll still be here next season.

McGhee will be at the club next season.

Young's rubbish, its not an agenda. That McDonald plays before Young isn't some kind of agenda its because Young is that bad. I'm with ally s on this one.

Wasn't the game postponed due to being waterlogged?

You serious

Hopefully they can find some bargains, not going to be easy with 100 odd clubs around the UK trying to do the same thing.

I think he is a decent player at times, some of his best performances coincide with our team's best performances. Don't think he's much of a captain.

Also agree with McGhee.

Reduced prices thus more folk attending Main stand family section merkland - singers unallocated seats, sit with your mates wherever you like.

Oops just posted a new thread about it, can some mod delete. I thought McGhee article pissed all over Spiers and got me feeling positive for the first time since Raith. COYR

It will do if they beat us on Saturday. It will require a big effort for us to win that game.

We still took 850 fans down which isn't to bad. Great strike by Mulgrew, fortunate free kick decision though. Piss poor defending the entire day, brutal.

Wonder what the answer was that he wanted kept of the record? I think a lot of rubbish talked too, the money being spent at Dundee would be massive for AFC in players terms but Aberdeen of the pitch with the debt/stadium issue is not one somebody like him is wanting involved in. Can't believe he still attends our games, interesting.

Obviously your entitled to your opinion as I am but the reference is obvious even from that thread, and you think Aberdeen is worse than that?
