In Converstaion With Dave Cormack & Duncan Fraser


Recommended Posts


Duncan Fraser's response to the question about why Rangers and Celtic get their own end at Hampden was an embarrassment to be honest. Everyone knows in Scotland why it is, and it has nothing to do with debentures. The fact he covers for the SFA is deeply concerning for us going forward.

 

The club would benefit greatly if Cormack took over from him.

 

The reason we now stand up to the SFA/SPFL is Cormack.

 

 

As has been said, it wasn't a conversation it was a lecture, there was no questions from the floor at all, other than Aberdeen FC approved questions read out by another club employee - a misleading description of the evening.

 

The greatest positive for me was Dave Cormack's attitude and comments.

 

A worthwhile night, but next time open up the floor to questions.

Aye that was another massive load of shite.  Did only Celtic and Rangers fans buy debentures? 

 

He also had the cheek to use the 11/1 voting structure as an excuse for high ticket prices at Parkhead and Tynecastle, "nothing we can do about it".  Eh who's fault is it we're lumbered with that ridiculous set up

 

Wasn't impressed with that gimp Fraser at all.

John James the seesaw Gers blogger boy once did a good article suggesting Fraser was the only SFA board member to question the Nimmo Smith findings, particularly the other clubs non right of appeal. Pity he didn’t make more of it at the time as the clear inference was that the other clubs (not Celtic as their rep was handily on holiday at the time) told Fraser to get back in his box and to tow the party line.

Reading elsewhere the most interesting bit of the discussion which doesn't look like mentioned here.

 

DNA did not result in an increase to the football budget.

 

After sale of Hayes and given the other players we were losing the board agreed to increase the football budget by the Hayes cash, quoted in the meeting as £750k.

 

The DNA, £680k net, has now 'replaced' that temporary increase.

 

Lewis wage increase mentioned as having taken some of the budget.

Interesting, I got slaughtered for saying we barely got a million for Hayes.

Interesting read - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46213364

 

Any ideas that can bring additional funds into Aberdeen can only be a good think.

 

Good luck to him trying to change the structure of Scottish football. Will have a fight on his hands to get any change through but it is needed.

ambitious plans but good to see he’s willing to try things. Would be great to have Aberdeen affiacited soccer camps out there and doing a US tour to build the rep.

Imagine all the arguing between all the arse cheek suited cunts trying to make sure they were involved in any new/reduced bunch running the game rather than the whole load of 'jobs for the boys' set up that is currently running both bodies.

 

Would be a mad scramble to make sure all the most corrupt & bigoted cunts got in.
