dj_bollocks Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 A lot of people comparing our lack of success vs the arsecheeks or England... Forget about our domestic League it's won before a ball is kicked... It's our performance in Europe that should be scrutinised and criticised... That's where the money is... We never had a team ready under McInnes and when there was a chance to progress he failed... Playing in Europe in whatever league will pretty much increase our turnover by about 50% or more... No one's expecting us to win the thing... But keep the cash registers ringing and the money coming in consistently and over 5-10 years we would be way more competitive than we are now, 3rd by some distance and one hope progressing from Europa Conference League to Europa Cup to... Well who knows ? But we're so far away from that and have been for decades... Link to comment

Promotion twice despite having a fraction of the resources the majority of clubs they are competing with have. Also their sister club FC Midtjylland have been very successful since adopting this approach. So we should have persevered with Glass and co? Wow, promotion twice. Almost as exciting as our top six trophy haul. 1 hour ago, dj_bollocks said: A lot of people comparing our lack of success vs the arsecheeks or England...

This season was the chance to make some money by going into groups automatically but that’s gone now. Link to comment

That's a major point, winning the league gets you little in terms of prize money, while Europe is an avenue to multi millions. This season could be a disaster in more ways than one if both Hearts and Hibs make a Euro group next season. Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Currently listening to the 2 Blokes and a Mic podcast and one of them was in about Cormack Park to see Steven Gunn about something. Mentioned that Scott Brown essentially ripped up his contract and basically saved Aberdeen a good bit of cash. Fair play to him for that if true. Link to comment

I thought based off the statement the club released that the "lack of coaching options" menat Brown wanted to leave to pursue his coaching, again how true that is/was is up for debate Link to comment

Sure they let him on and talked about forums like this didn’t understand what he does and how good he is…. Link to comment

I mean whatever his positive qualities, he's never seemed the sharpest tool in the box... Mind you neither has Gerrard, and he's got an EPL gig now, so who knows. Link to comment

Ten Caat Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Honestly thought he would have waited for the Dunfermline job inevitably becoming available in the coming days. Or maybe even the Kelty job in the same league if Kevin Thomson as expected gets the vacant Raith job. He could almost walk to either from his old home in Hill o' Beath. Still wish him all the best.

Guest milne_afc Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Thomson will fail miserably at Raith without the Conservatory Company paying wages on behalf of the club. Link to comment
Andy_123 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Think Brown will be a disaster down there. What the fuck does he know about the English lower leagues after spending his entire career in the SPFL. Wouldn't be surprised if he lasts less time than he did here. Link to comment

Unless he gets in a lower league management dream team with experience to basically do his job, he’s fucked. At least he’s starting at the right level tho. Be lucky if any of the guff lads at that level will even have heard of him so he goes in there as an unknown. Doomed from the start. Link to comment

Wouldn't surprise me if he was a disaster, but neither would it surprise me if he turned out to be capable of fielding a winning side. What did Gerrard know about the footballing backwater that is the SPFL after spending his entire career in the rarified environment of the EPL. He did okay and now back in his natural environment.

Gerrard was joining a team that was likely to be in the top 2 in the country and have a great chance of winning trophies. Brown will find life much tougher at Fleetwood than Gerrard ever had in Scotland Link to comment
