Running close to the wind with FFP rules. Apparently issued 8 year contacts for at least one signing and amortizing the fee over that period. Will catch up with them in the end, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanderark14 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Not sure what to think of the dons transfer window, quite a few faces coming in. Definitely needed a goalie because Roos is long term injured and LEwis is shite now - got in a keeper from Ajax on loan Definitely need defenders - got a 30 year old not wanted by Swindon, have they not learned anything from the Stewart debacle? got a young Watford player who is at lease at a higher level. got a winger on loan for 6 months from Blackburn who I guess is a replacement for Besuijen who has gone on loan to a dutch team. Besuijen never really did enough for me anyway so no big loss. The big win is Antony Stewart is gone to MK Dons, my only conclusion to this is he has a mate at MK Dons who put in a good word because MK Dons sure as fuck haven't scouted him All of that whilst not having a manager 😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely dreadful "defender". Empty space in the backline would be more effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming from the man that blows up every time celtic sign another multi million pound player to win the Scottish Premiership and get knocked out of europe once or twice a season, that’s an incredible statement to make, is this a parody account by any chance, or do you just have multiple personalities who forgets what they type half the time?

Listen pal. Just because your shite football team is the laughing stock of Scotland, and probably the entire United Kingdom, does not give you the right to abuse other members. Try growing a set of balls, or support another club as you clearly can't handle the club you support at the moment.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely nothing there even resembles a response to what I said, I’ve no idea why I bothered, you’ve proven on multiple threads that you’re thick as shit.

I'm so glad that I was able to live through the 80s when well coached teams like Aberdeen, Dundee United, Aston Villa, Ipswich and Nottm Forest were able to compete at the very highest level. Cost of living crisis in UK but not in the EPL. Too many of these teams are like franchises, foreign players, foreign managers, foreign owners.

I caught the end of the 80s so experienced a little of this but today football is about the deepest pockets, its barely even a sport. Scotland led the way in this when Celtic and Rangers ramped up the spending to leave the other miles behind. Football should be classed as a sport because most of the time it comes down to who can spend more and who can pay more wages. Celtic at the moment have a massive advantage over the clubs in Scotland, its probably why so many of us Non OF fans take pleasure in watching the old firm get hammered in the CL, they are getting a taste of what we have to put up with all the time.

When they talk about clubs or interview managers (especially in EPL) it's all about budget and not coaching ability. So sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
