I think WM deserves credit for building the team which seems to be bearing fruit for yoof development. I think that's the essence of executive management.
I think our inability to sell players without recouping anything is our biggest off the park failing. I think it's the one way to reduce the debt and we have consitently fucked it up. Who is to blame for that? In absence of one person I'll blame all of our managers, WM and Milne. It started well before WM was DoF though.
Aberdeen have, for the last 15 years, persevered with all kinds of staff that have failed to win us anything. This is reflected in extended contracts for Mackie, buying back players like Gary Smith after they had already failed and failing to bin players when we have the chance to recoup, Nicholson, Seve. It'll happen with Miller and Mulgrew as well.
In my opinion the club lacks ruthlessness in the transfer market, in the boardroom and ultimately this is reflected on the pitch.
I think.
