He was never getting to play for us on a regular basis, due to Del Boy's insecurities.

Possibly true. 

If he'd been a superstar I'm sure he would have played more though.

Good point.

The fact Ronnie's wife wasn't on these shores to ride would probably pissed off the sleekit cunt

Just read the article. Very strange.

There is something more to this. Either Cormack signed him and he was pish and he can’t really force DM to play him or sack him due to his contract or DM signed him as a massive fuck up and he is pish.

Anyway he doesn’t get a game  so I think we can conclude he is pish.

You've managed to name 2 scenarios it definitely WASN'T.

Atlanta wanted him but they'd filled their foreign player quota,  so they gave us the money to sign him.  Then once they freed up a quota place they bought him from us.  We were just a half way house.

In April 2015, FIFA announced the banning of third-party ownership, and specifically prohibited either clubs or players from entering into economic rights agreements with third-party investors. The ban took effect on 1 May 2015. The European Parliament also announced a similar ban in European sports on 11 November 2015 following the passing of Rule 136 of Parliament's Rules of Procedure. In a written declaration, the European Parliament states that third-party ownership raises concerns over the integrity of competitions and introduces risks of criminal activities into sports.

 

Hot. Water.

Lets hope nobody from FIFA reads the Hat.  Mum's the word. ?

Did someone nae say on here that Atlanta's quota of foreign players was full and only recently was there a free slot available - presumably a contract expiring?

They shipped Gallagher out. Actually got a fee for him ?

If Ronnie is pish how is Ojo and Main get a run out.

Thats because DM signed them and he has to save face. But we know they are both top of the pish pile

Double standards at the club

The biggest thing to come out of this is Mcinnes bullshitting the fans.  All this chat about scouting in Norway and 'being on our radar'  was a smokescreen.

There you go then. They're clearly laundering dirty money from a Medelin - IRA coke deal

To be fair he didn't have much choice. 

Couldn't exactly grass up his boss to the media 

[aberdeen1970]

Could be worse. 

I'm still half expecting Mulraney to find his way back here

A Hearts reserve/reject ending up here from Atlanta would really let us see who’s calling the shots in this Atlanta/Aberdeen relationship.

Not sure if they gave us the money, as that would be too dodgy. More likely there was an agreement behind the scenes that we'd get him out of Norway, hang onto him until Atlanta had a free slot in their 'roster', then they'd buy him off us with a bit of interest on top to make it worth our while. The strategic partnership in action.

Aye, more likely.  Amounts to the same thing though.

Pretty shit of Cormack and the yank investors to put him in that situation.

I’m sure his alleged weekly salary will help keep him sweet

Do you think there's a wee bit more to Dave than a nice set of teeth? 

[Laichomoray]

How would they distinguish as being true/unture our explaination of his non playing being down to not settling in/homesick/not adjusting to Scottish fitba etc etc

Correct. Loads of clubs do this type of business to see if the player they wish to recruit on a full-time basis and be a core part of their squad is any good. 

Chelsea have a similar agreement with Vitesse Arnhem, Manchester United with Royal Antwerp, and Celtic with Hibs?. 

Ultimately, as part of our partnership agreement with Atlanta United, what I interpret is that they were afforded first refusal on buying Ronald Hernandez from Aberdeen. No laws or rules were broken or even flexed. 

It's a new concept of trade that we will all take time to adapt to and get used to because our club hasn't had this type of partnership with another club previously.
