The pessimist in me thinks he knows fine well we wont get near 45k and lower than that number gives them an excuse for having no transfer kitty and needing to go with cheaper managerial options. No matter how you play with the sums+vehicle+timeframes it seems the only viable outcome to me.

Was the 500k not from UEFA cup year?

they owed £14m to a.a.m alone so who knows how they managed to clear that.Impressive if they have.

Restore our recruitment systems! No thanks. £5m or 10m? What each I hope! Also pray our fan communication doesn't translate to communicating with minority groups representatives only. Here's hoping the fans step up not only in cash but in demanding things change.

Thats a gift and a half!

did they pay off the £14m they owed Aberdeen asset management?

Offering unquantifiable budgets is unrealistic.

Yes had . You know the typical approach were you ring French money already in the account before commencing the search. That way you can give managers budgets and assurances that financier actually exists and they have the autonomy to spend them the best way they see fit Also had as in should have happened before st sales

If that was true then why do we want to sign the new manager for 3 years? Do we expect to be Aberdeen level for the next three years? if the league dictated the level of appointment then we would upgrade in a year not tie ourselves in for 3 with a sub standard manager. The shortlist is so poor because influential fans are dictating the need for any appointment to have previous links with us in my opinion.

All its done is weaken our argument for a better deal. King can no longer threaten to expose Ashley corruption. Hopefully a skilled hacker gets the info to the fans.

Only if the perspective manager does not believe we can leave that standard behind and our budgets merit our level. Doubt any manager asked would say this is our level.

what wage do you reckonWe are offering that leaves us at amateur level! Dont get me wrong the lack of budgets will harm our recruitment but should never leave us struggling against the wealth and.might of teams like Aberdeen!

That's what they said when we got relegated! Ambition and promise will drive sales up. I'd king and co had slapped down a few mil for signings and put a manager that promises a new approach we would push 30k

not in attracting a manager it doesn't. Well not as much as cash plus stature that is

Our stature is not dictated by our current league

one of our richer fans who hears a thing or two. Wouldnt put much into it just at the gossip level. That's why I didn't post it last night.

Don't agree. Mccinnes will beset with groans of bewilderment Heard all these arguments in favour of green and ashley. They were proven wrong and so will this boards calculation of the fans feelings. Mccinnes we be met with sales of no more than 23000 st. The days of the old boys network are gone those in charge need to get with the times. We will stagnate at our current level which will exasperate the problems next year. They do the same things over and over and expect different results.

I was one of the first to slate green online. When his words and actions so obviously never met. I took pelters for it. Same as I can see the same short comings in this boards promises and actions Two very different beasts but ultimately I think neither will do as they promised. I get the feeling you know whats coming aint going to cut it as well but have been convinced it's the best we can get.

When the blue knights lost out and they took over king spoke then and has kept the same mantra since. We need to speculate to accumulate. He stated cutting costs n trying to run break even would never be accepted by the fans . He then said he would plan to run us at a loss and cover the shortfall. He even fell open mouthed at the journalist the other day when he asked something similar.

Could not disagree strongly enough. He is not even close to being of standard. His appointment will be water to fans flames of ambition. A small step above amateur. He should not cost more than £100k a year. McNamara at utd gets £70k a year plus bonuses. Are you seriously saying Aberdeen managers are our level.

Disagree mate. He stated his plans before Ashley and co fucked us. He always said running at a loss for 3 years was the only way we could retain our stature and challenge Celtic from the off.

If we bring in Mccinnes and continue to shop in the bargain basement it will be taken as king and co lied by the vast majority of fans. If as you say they have the cash and the will then why has their ambition fell so far short of their previous rhetoric? As have said from the start I trust the board and so far they have done exactly as I expected. Taken blue room wishes and ignored the customer's. They will bring in an x player and spend just enough to beat the Tim's. No more than that. All the promises for transparency and doing what the fans want are pish. Do you still honestly think they will break from the old boys club mentality.

again the fantasy outcomes are needed to make sense.

Kennedy wants security we cant give. Dont agree the rest have the liquid assets to cover those amounts in a twelve month period as disposable cash which allows them to do so again and again for the next 3 years.

He state as much less than 3 days ago. We will run at a loss for the next 3 year's. With the investors covering the loss. That is the business plan. It's also the reason king disagreed with the ashley lot from the start. Something I agreed with him on
