There was already chat about a shutdown days before that so it seems foolish to have put them on sale (that thread started on the 11th and I spoke to Lee Miller at Falkirk the day before that about a possible shutdown. Might still have the audio actually.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I am more than happy to say fuck them. Thats not totally true, SPL clubs? Aye some of them absolutely wanted to fuck us (and that includes Aberdeen) A lot of the then SFL clubs were happy to help us. Tbf, I've also got something of a personal interest as I've got to work with a lot of these clubs and some of the folk who would lose their jobs as a result of something they had absolutely nothing to do with. Most folk I've encountered at clubs don't tend to really give a fuck either way about us or them. And I've also got my job to think about.

Just double-checked my phone there too, definitely the 10th March I spoke with Miller and asked him about any possible contingencies that were in place should football get suspended.

George McLean 190 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 18 minutes ago, The Dude said: Blow it out the water? Aye because our finances are absolutely irrelevant just now. It seems a bit like gloating that your neighbours house is on fire, as yours is already starting to go up too. Forgive me for not gloating when we could very well be in a similar position very quickly. Oh ffs, do you know what, i came on here to read a bit of banter about a club and their fans who wanted us finished but once again you have to come across as this sanctimonious prick who has a know all attitude as regards RFC but guess what we all know the crisis that will hit most clubs, that's a given with this global crisis so ffs loosen up and try and have a night of light relief away from the hardship of Covid-19. Aberdeen are in crisis, good to see as far as i'm concerned so fuck them and do us all a favour, get a sense of humour, ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They fucked themselves out of jealousy, what is happening to Aberdeen just now? Good. They should have gone bust previously but like others converted bank debt to shares to stave it off, so once again fuck them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al 55 9,205 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 47 minutes ago, KingKirk said: Rangers will be fine. Am sure at some point we'll ask staff to take a reduction. Our finances have been looked at and studied to the final penny. Yet hearts can't go a week without needing players to take a cut Aberdeen a fortnight before they are potentially in bother My question is this why have we so many "top" clubs in Scotland that close to the edge yet our club are the only ones looked at? Hearts build a stand that was 12million over budget Aberdeen are knocking back 4-5million for McKenna but can't go a fortnight with no income. When finances were looked at, aop defined, no one was taking into account a global pandemic, 4 or 5 months on little or no income. This is unprecedented, many clubs will need investment to survive, possibly us. Personally I don’t give a fuck if Aberdeen and Dundee Utd go, but I won’t be gloating about it, at least not until I know we’re safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
