A bit controversial for a Dons fan to say, but I pretty much agree with him. Pumping in money is pointless as it's unsustainable. The club has to generate it's own finances. Although a shiny new stadium would be nice.
As for the manager, I personally can't stand him whether he is successful or not. His lack of respect for the job, the club, the city and the people of the North East, is a disgrace. Aberdeen are the biggest club he will ever manage. It is time to stop acting like he is doing us a favour.

Was Russell Anderson waisting his money when he put £100,000 of his signing on fee with Sunderland to help Aberdeen's youth system.

If Milne does not want to spend money on pro-players then he could at least put money in to build and run a new state of the art training camp that should develope new players for Aberdeen.

Other Scottish clubs are doing this and not just the Old Firm.

If Milne wants the best for Aberdeen F.C. then the best thing he could do would be to sell the Club to someone with plenty of resources and ambition.

I agree with the training facilities. He can even put his name to it like David Murray did with Murray Park...

Milne could also sponsor the team with 250k a season shirt sponsorship.

But... I'd like to see AFC be self sufficient and that wont happen just on gates alone!!

Our youth system used to be the envy of the SPL but the past 10 years has produced very little. This is why teams like Hibs and Killie (almost) are financially sound... selling on young talent. Russell Anderson £1m... Thats all.

And the way things are looking Maguire ain't gonna shine unless he really understands how lucky he is to be a pro footballer!!...

We have one or two promising players coming tthrough the U-19s but not as many as we used to have, and none seem to be pushing to get into the first team neither!!

Advertising. Our pitch side boards should be attracting bigger sponsorships.. no the likes of "Jocks Garage in Keith"!!
The AFC marketing folk should be shot as they should be aiming for bigger bucks!!

SF!

He's totally ignorant of the fact that Calderwood is unpopular, loses all the wrong games and really gets on thousands nerves. How can performances & results getting more and more boring each season be considered to be progress? The only progress we have made has been financially, the only thing keeping fans at Pittodrie is the sheer skills of Sone Aluko, if he dares to sell him, he will feel the full force of the fan backlash.
Calderwood's prematch comments don't make things any better, he always blames everyone and everything but him. He has not brung in an established goal-scoring Striker, that is what is needed at Aberdeen, or Sandy Clark could tell Lee Miller what a goal is and why he is supposed to score them.

"He has not brung in an established goal-scoring Striker"

Aberdeen never buy established players. Hearts and Hibs are now bigger clubs than Aberdeen. Aberdeen are now on par with teams like Killie, Dundee Utd, Motherwell and Falkirk.

Aberdeen will never improve as a club until they have a total clear out of ALL the top people including Milne. The reason all the suits back each other (Milne, Miller & Calderwood) is because they all know if one of them goes then the rest of them are less secure.

Scottish football would benifit from a stronger Aberdeen, it would be good if Trump could be persuaded to take them over - he would not need to spend the silly Money they do in the EPL just a sensible amount.
