New Aberdeen investor Tom Crotty,venture capitalist,friend of Dave Cormack and Bobby Clark,played at Notre Dame years ago.Played golf in Scotland and took in a few Aberdeen games on television while here, 'never actually made it to Pittodrie'.An odd thing to say and admit.Maybe not just the biggest football man despite long involvement in Grassroots Soccer in America.Very much on board with a view to new stadium.

Fergus McCann was never much of a football fan, but he basically saved the life of Rashellic.

 

Also, fuck Fergus McCann.

According to bbc he attended a game with McCormack.

 

Not that it matters.

Isn't it actually a very positive story, the fact he isn't really a fan but is investing a substantial amount of money in the club and it's future?

Milne seems a bit more rejuvenated recently since the bank issues were sorted and Cormack came on board. He even seems relaxed about all the McInnes speculation in the papers.

 

Unfortunately he still makes the odd faux pas when asked about matters relating to Rangers. I think he would be best leaving Cormack to talk to the media, Cormack can handle them no bother at all.

Maybe. His statements RE Rangers certainly seemed at odds with the views of the majority of his customers though.

Agreed...most likely down to Masonic stuff...he probably isnt allowed to voice anything negative for fear of some unspeakable shit being done to him by the Grand Master...

Imagine he didn't though

Would the fans not have just moaned he wasn't spending?

He didn't spend though & we moaned at him for that & for getting us in a huge amount of debt with no plan to clear it.

It was only luck, the banking crash meaning they were happy to take less back than owed & the generosity of others donating that saved the cunts extended blushes from his massive failures as our chairman.

 

He used his wealth to make it easier for him to run up massive debts for the club on his behalf.

 

Twenty odd years of him in charge & what has he brought us?

A great new stand that was a huge reason for our massive debts that choked the life from the club for years & that very stand is already useless as he has also overseen the massive failures that has meant that pittodrie can no longer be viewed as a viable ground to continue using. Years of failures to reduce said debt & only managing to just about keep paying £600k+ of yearly interest payments.

Many of those years whilst he was sitting of a vast reported fortune of £400m + until the building trade collapse which cut it in half or worse.

 

The guy has done next to fk all for the club in a positive sense & trying to portray him as the great hero for finally underwriting the huge debt he got the club into in the first place is just something many of the blinkered twats over the years have done. Most of them came out clapping him after his hilarious slur after the penalties win in the LC final & applauded him like hew had finally achieved his dream, his goal, his whole ambition for the club.

 

The guy is nothing but a fkn crook & a fraud.

The only honest thing he's ever done whilst being club chairman is finally getting rid of his wig & even that was a case of having to after the amount of jokes aimed at him from everyone

Wasn't the RDS built before Milne was chairmen?

His firm built it.

We didn't need it.

It's smaller than original beach end capacity

 

He maybe came in after but the debt only escalated under his stewardship. He joined the board the year after the stand was built. That was him weaseling his way in.

 

The stand cost £4.5m & under Milne that debt escalated to what? £15m?

The point was in response to millertimes posts regarding how he's been the hero of the club by underwriting the debt. Mt & many more seem to worship him for this but blatantly ignore the fact that he is the one that has overseen the debt increasing year on year to an unplayable level & had his blushes saved through pure luck/circumstance & generous donations & fk all donations from the man himself.

 

That simple.

 

& no. I don't dislike him. Just don't agree with any of the bs regarding him doing anything to help the club, when he was the main reason behind the club requiring help.

What really fucked me off was him saying for years that he "had a plan" to deal with the debt. As it turned out that plan was hoping some generous soul would come along and wipe it for us. Milne had the money to write off our debt, debt which he created, but instead left it up to someone else.

Part of the deal for Donald's clearing bank debt was Milne converting the millions he was owed in loans to equity as other shareholders aldo did. Like him or loathe him he has put millions in to AFC (yep much of it wasted) but it still stands. Rather him than some of the charaltans other clubs have been lumbered with!
