Mackie's ace! Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Is it to early to be realistic since the full time whistle hasn't gone? It's our 4th game of the pre season. We're not match fit. The season isn't over yet. Mark McGhee is not the messiah and can't make an unfit team win. There's still 32 days left to make signings. Erm...yeah. More to come I'm sure...that's goals for Sigma obviously. TF - I was under the impression that Mair wasn't about the money or "affording" him, just that he wanted to get a contract sorted and this wasn't forthcoming when JC was sacked and the protracted appointment of MM. St Mirren offered him a contract and he went. Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/2286-aberdeen-vs-sigma-300709/page/7/#findComment-62006
Mackie's ace! Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Sorry Glasgow. Which position is MM playing in tonight? Its the players on that pitch tonight which are a disgrace. He did put Young at right back and Duff at centre back...even Jimmy wouldn't do that. The boos have started, fickle fans!

St Mirren offered him a contract and he went. Where was Miller when all of the protracted signing of McGhee was going on? He could have sorted that easily. Miller has a lot of responsibilty here as part of a board that has, thus far at least, spectacularly cocked it.

capitalsharpie Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 "The guts of the team that drew 2 2 against Bayern", yes. Also the guts of the team that lost 4 0 yo UNT and QOS in the cups.

glasgowdon Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Sorry Glasgow. Which position is MM playing in tonight? Its the players on that pitch tonight which are a disgrace. Putting out a 4-3-3 is tactically horrible. Add to that it's tombola defence and I think he's a nugget.

baggy89 Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Acording to Willie spin the reason Calderwood was sacked was because his lack of vision in improving the team. At least his vision was realistic. Jimmy's tactics were also mentioned, MMG superior tactics give us Young at RB and Duff at CB??? Dis-heartened is not the word.

Madbadteacher Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 So, after the press release and recent comments in the papers, I take it all the players with expiring contracts can start looking now? More signings for Dundee....... Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/2286-aberdeen-vs-sigma-300709/page/7/#findComment-62022
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 The board an WM KNEW that early Euro games were coming. NOTHING was done to help MM for his new team. Perhaps MM knew our defensive weaknesses and is trying to paper over massive cracks? Nothing? By that do you mean no money? Wonder where it all went . . . . . Fucking McGhee knew he had fucking qualifiers too! No fucking excuses!! None! Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/2286-aberdeen-vs-sigma-300709/page/7/#findComment-62026

ntbear Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 The club is a fucking shambles, and a disgrace. If it is not clear to everyone now that we need shot of Wiggy and his inept board, along with Miller, then they are just retarded. Without decent players AFC will gradually fade down the leagues and out of existence, would rather go with a bang by speculating on players and watching some decent football.

capitalsharpie Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I wouldnt blame MM for going to the board with as list of positions that need filling, and that if he doesnt see much, much more backing from the board to achieve this, then threartenin to walk at the soonest oppertunity is the action to take.

dunblanedon Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 We need to back a Manager with cash or be honest with the fans about our real ambitions instead of spouting pish. Milne is one of the UK's wealthiest men, but let's be honest, he couldn't give a toss about the team. He just wants to build houses on Pittodrie, sell them for profit and recoup the financial benefit from building the new stadium. If MMG has any guts whatsoever, he should threaten to resign now if he's not given the funds required. Perhaps that would illicit some reaction from Milne, Miller, Fraser et all.

TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Perhaps thats why MM was trying to sign all those players that we have seen slip through our fingers? Maybe? They didn't "slip through our fingers". They were unrealistic. Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/2286-aberdeen-vs-sigma-300709/page/7/#findComment-62038
Madbadteacher Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I've calmed down a bit, put this in perspective, it's only one game of football.
