trublusince1982 243 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 any new entity in charge is a begining and should be judged as so. that being said circumstance dictates they must hit the ground running. No room for if buts and maybees. Actions and not words should as always be the parameter of sucess/failure 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoodyBlue 0 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Another season in the Championship is a really depressing thought. There would need to be a radical change in philosophy on the pitch for me to go to games again. Agreed - it is a depressing thought - but I think it is a very real possibility. The saving grace if we are in it again next season will have to be a better group of players, playing under a management team who are welll versed at getting the best out of the players and installing a far better style of play. IF this is the case then we can use next season as a proper 'building' year so that we go up to the Prem in a much better shape and genuinely ready to face the new challenge in that league. If we can see big improvement on the pitch I definitley think that the crowds will be pretty decent.

pete 2,499 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Also important to remember that kingco could come in and make 100mill available for purchases, but there's no window until the end of the season so options are limited to out of contract players anyway. What we have is what we have, whether we like it or not. Interesting thought, but the Newcastle lads are up here because of Ashley connection, I wonder if there's anything in the agreement that lets him take his toys home at will? Ashely is far from being out of the picture even after the EGM so I would imagine as long as he has his finger in the pie the Newcastle players will be staying. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need the Newcastle players to stay and I'm sure they will. Ok, we have only really seen Vuckic, but he is already our best footballer. If the others can come in and make a similar impact then we may, just may, have a chance to actually succeed in the play off's. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to start from scratch and there's not going to be that much money available. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to start from scratch and there's not going to be that much money available. I agree. Hoewever I guess we don't know how much money will actually be availble. Part of me thinks that King is holding back on some financial details and anouncements until he gets in. He will know that we need signifiacnt investment - and I am sure he and other 'good bears' have accounted for this. For example, there may be other 'partners' out there who we are not aware of who have been working alongside King, TTB's in order to be in a position to fund and invest into a team which is in need of a complete re-build.

craig 5,199 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Aberdeen struggled to make the top six before he arrived The SPL is a difficult one though. The standard has dropped to incredibly poor standards, including the Tims. The question to be asked is not whether Aberdeen have improved their league standing but whether they have improved the quality of their football, quality of their player and, just as importantly, the quality of the football operation (1st team, reserves, youth development, scouting) under McInnes's watch. I don't know the answer as I don't care a great deal for Scottish football outside of Rangers (And Auchinleck Talbot...... ) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhunter 0 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I don't think it will take that amount of time or money No one knows what damage has been done until the regime changes. We may get a pleasant surprise or more horror may well be lying in wait. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had St Johnston playing well--can remember them passing off the park on at least one occasion before our meltdown--and keeping Bristol City up looks a better achievement in hindsight. Does seem that he's a decent manager. Whether he'd come in the near future is a different matter 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
