Superstar Tradesman Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 YES It will get better. We've been in much more troubled in the past and ahve ALWAYS come back. Believe! Came back? Came back to what exactly? The range of teams that have won something in the time we've not picked up any silverware is staggering. At times it looks as though we've intentionally fucked it up as even the law of averages say we have to get it right at least once! But I've never been one of the 'day in the sun' brigade who craves a one off conga at Hampden. I've always wanted to see the Dons cement themselves as the real "third force in Scottish football" and kick on from there. But that's a pipedream and under Milne we'll never see that happen.

bloo_toon_red Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 Having no gone 16 years without any silverware, this is now officially the least succesful period in the club's post-war history. Isn't it also the case that every current SPL club bar Hamilton have been to a cup final over the past 10 years and that therefore (good UEFA Cup run apart) we could arguably be considered as the most under-achieving football club in Scotland? With little "success" to speak of it is hardly surprising that many people of a certain age can quite easily find other ways of entertaining themselves on a Saturday afternoon, and no amount of knitting a flag about how it's all "in your blood" can change that. BB's statement of the technical deficiency of the current squad is as alarming as it is true. I mean no disrespect to some of the younger lads, but when some people are creaming over how "good" someone like Ryan Jack is, then you begin to wonder where AFC is really heading. I for one cannot see this particular player having a long-term future in the SPL. Admittedly however, if anyone is going to turn him into a player it is Brown (and Knox), but my feeling remains the same. Pawlett has a chance if he can stay fit, Paton I feel has missed the boat, Fyvie will be OK but the lack of youngsters - particularly defensive players - banging down the doors of a technically very poor Aberdeen team is presently very very worrying. All this lack of success on the pitch and a new stadium on the way to take our mids off it. A new stadium will be but an edifice to Milne's failure to oversee any silverware during his own stewartship. Just build it in timber frame for under £500 per square metre and bury him under it. It would be a fitting epitaph. Quote
dave_min Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 I think - perhaps rather naively - that Brown isn't being entirely truthful in that. I've always thought (hoped) it was the other way round, he's saying we have nae cash so that he has a good bargaining position when signing new players. Quote
