EdTheDuck Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Since Milne took over as Chairman AFC has posted losses in 16 out of 20 years (and 3 of the profit seasons were in 2015, 2016 & 2017) - over £20M in losses (the numbers are available at Companies House if anyone wants to take umbrage) AFC had their longest post-war run (19 years) without a trophy AFC had their longest post war run without a Scottish Cup Final (17 years) AFC finished bottom of the league for the first time Post war and excluding the Ferguson years AFC won a trophy approx once every 6 years prior to Stewarty taking over the reigns which would convert to a minimum of 3 (and maybe 4) in his 22 years at the helm. He has 1 and that was won on fucking penalties. During his time in charge, the Scottish has been won by Hearts 3 times, Hbs, Dundee United, St. Johnstone and Inverness CT (so don't tell me the dominance of R&C blah blah blah) He fluked a windfall that cleared the debt that was accumulated during his tenure and his legacy is likely going to be a far, far worse debt to build a stadium in the boondocks that will completely alter the game day experience for thousands. He was in charge as our home ground was allowed to disintegrate around us, fall into terrible disrepair, largely because there were no funds available to do the repairs, much less upgrade and modernize. He has stated how he believes in and wants the "status quo" in Scottish football to be restored, so I can only imagine he is delighted at the way this season is shaping up. I wonder if he's excited about December 8th. Minus several million out of ten from me However, 47% of the nation is apparently going to vote Tory so I am clearly at odds with the general public 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukDukGoose Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 These factors combined have helped to secure the new investment from Dave Cormack and his group of investors, including Tom Crotty, Roger Lee and now AMB Sports & Entertainment (parent company of Atlanta United). that's the interesting bit for me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-MAN Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Did he honestly say that?"We had three points in our pocket and we allowed two of them to go. I'm really disappointed with that."From a winning position, we should see that game out. We should have more experience and confidence to see that out”Like I say. Perfect time for Cormack to get rid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never would say Gerrard for example take that attitude. The **** would go for the 2nd and then the 3rd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A spectacular head-goal by Sammy Cosgrove and a thunderbolt from downtown by Hedges give the Seagulls a two zero lead at the end of the second quarter.
