Cormack Thread

[minijc]

Haha hmm ok so I should temper my excitement

Took them 3 years to build to be fair so maybe the yank input will help speed things along (LOL)

Who is putting in the other 3m?

[Guest milne_afc]

Who is putting in the other 3m?

Crotty, Lee and DC?

[sooth_stander]

Looks like Wiggy is off the board completely, despite folk saying yesterday that he would remain

[V for Vendetta]

Duncan Skinner remains in post too

 

The only one who got binned was Ian Jack

 

And Zero mention of the new stadium in that report

Well all 3 were binned from their board positions. That's the main thing.

 

I'm not really bothered about the ambassador thing or the trust.

[RedRichard]

It's a pity there's nothing tangible to indicate increases to playing budget (or not depending on your opinion of DM), even though the statement ambitiously talks of levelling the playing field with Celtic & Sevco. 

This reads more as a poitically managed transition (lots of care taken to compliment Milne) and an attempt to lay the foundations to fund the new stadium. 

[Zeus]

I guess the press conference tomorrow morning will reveal more.

 

Dion Perreira incoming @@Dad

[aberdeen1970]

We'll get some shitty British or European lads that they don't have the space for, will mainly be younger players.

Well yeah that's essentially what it is.

 

Isn't that what we expected or did people think Dave would emerge from pittodrie with Milne's head on a spike and a hail the masses?

 

The £5m could be for the football operations, the announcement wasn't totally clear on that I think.

[aberdeen1970]

Anything less than the head on the spike is underwhelming

[RedRichard]

One further point, with Atlanta United chairman Darren Eales joining our board shouldn't Cormack be on theirs too? Unless we are entering a subservient relationship, of course., 

[aberdeen1970]

I'm looking forward to us teaching them about our match day experience.

 

Aye that's right, pies. And lukewarm burgers if you're quick before they run out. A Mars bar and a bag of jelly babies for the bairn.

[Guest milne_afc]

If only the club statement included a line about the departure of the Red TV wets, surely they're in the firing line

Send them to Atlanta and take their atlTV boys in exchange

[Poodler]

Get JR and Jerry Lawler in for the commentary

Are the Dons pumping USD into them like?

[Ramandu]

The article says milne's starting on as a non exec.

 

Atlanta's where we got Jon Gallagher right?

Aye. Which now explains why he's had so many appearances

Where did you read about Eales joining our board?

[fine-n-dandy]

Will there be an AtlanDNA program?

[fine-n-dandy]

Asking for a muppet

[Poodler]

Eddie would be a great addition to the board

 

 

 

 

 

Incredible that Atlanta have a stadium like that to watch players like Gallagher

[aberdeen1970]

Tell us about your scouting?

 

Well we track ex spl players when they go down south and sign the ones who don't make it or get serious injuries.

 

What about Eastern Europe?

 

We made that bit up.

Why would Millermong go through a third party when he could just have asked in person?

Tyrone reporting it on BBC website

[Poodler]

Tyrone's bbc picture is horrendous
