There's a lot of teams around our level who accumulated points from 1 Europa campaign. Thats where we need to get... but I think this team are further away than ever. We will seriously need to pick up to finish 3rd or win the Scottish Cup. There's a few teams we could realistically match within the top 100... Rosenborg, Rijeka, BATE, Steaua, APOEL, Molde. I wouldn't fancy us to take any of them though. I suppose we need to get to a level where we are even better than we were around 2014-17.... can't see it under Glass anyway Link to comment

Hibs, Dundee Utd and St Johnstone flluctuating between premier and championship. Aberdeen steady eddie, win FA. Stewart eddie Milne once said scottish football needed Rangers if so scottish football needs Aberdeen so I agree lets have something a bit more dynamic. Link to comment

Not sure about Motherwell but the other clubs have certainly spent time in the Championship the last 30 years. But what else have they done that Aberdeen havent in the last 30 years? Hearts 3, Motherwell 1, Hibs 1, Dundee United 2, St Johnstone 2..... won the Scottish Cup Link to comment

Hearts and Motherwell both been in administration, not liquidated. For sure it's still cheating like fuck, although perfectly legal, in order to avoid paying your debts. But Hearts and Motherwell are unquestionably still the same clubs that existed before administration. Sevco on the other hand are a brand new construct. Oldco still exist, ridiculous that 10 years down the line their liquidation still hasn't been finalised 1 Link to comment

Hardly anything left in the pot with millions spent on legal fees. Nae cunt is getting anything out of that apart from the legal folks Link to comment

scottymc Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I get the feeling Ramirez might be here for only a couple of seasons. At least we can enjoy having him whilst he is here. I reckon he will head back home over the pond. Be a shame as I like him so far Link to comment

We need to bring in a couple of younger strikers between now and then to support him and take over. Ideally one this window please. Link to comment
Jigsaw666 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 The one thing that won't happen is the money being left in the bank. Does that ever happen at a football club? Manager will/should ask for the lot, the chairman will probably give some and put the rest to whatever else we need money for. Link to comment

There’s a pretty good example in 2012. Google “Ticketus” and “Lloyds getting the fuck out of dodge” Link to comment
