Frank Grimes Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 He was offered at least £2000 a week then A 35 year old, coming back off the back of a bad injury with a clear pathway to coaching should’ve grabbed that with both hands His Agent has utterly fucked him here Fully behind Goodwin and the club on this one 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Hopefully he's got something else lined up and this wasn't some ill thought through negotiating ploy from the agent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought that offer was more than fair. Agree on the agents bit. Cove might be able to offer him first team football but on peanuts compared to the salary mentioned. Doubt he's hard up either.

Rodhull Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 McInnes will probably come in for him. Shame for it to end this way. Comes across pretty grubby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lubo_blaha Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Really sad state of affairs, gutted that he is leaving like this.Agent has obviously f*cked him and the club over but at the age of 35 you’d think he’d be capable of stepping in if he didn’t like what was happening.I love Andy and think he’s still got a lot to offer but I don’t think there’s a queue of other clubs lining up to pay him in excess of £2k p/w. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen plenty of situations at my club where the agent has been at it (Declan Gallaghers “gun to the head” interview being a classic of the genre) - but when you think about it, Considine is a 35 year old, massively experienced player not some daft wee tit just out the youth team - as with Gallagher, I’m not sure it’s the agent’s fault. From an outsider’s perspective, the offer he got was perfect for someone at his stage - he shouldn’t need an agent to see that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingjoey Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Really disappointed that Andy is leaving at the end of this season. Like others, on the face of it the contract offered to him was pretty damn good, particularly with the coaching pathway. I’m surprised that if there was an agreement for a joint statement tomorrow that Andy has leaked the info, and can’t see what benefit to him leaking it would do. I’m not sure, but if he had got a two year deal bringing him up to 20 years with the club, would that have triggered a second testimonial? Hopefully, we will see him in the first team before the season is out, and personally I’d have him in at left back on Saturday to let Jonny Hayes move up the pitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some fans were slating the club on their tweet announcing what had happened. This was without them bothering to click on the link and read he explanation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are, but Goodwin will have dealt with agents before and should understand that they’ll start high. In any case, Consi’s career with us shouldn’t be ending with his contract offer plastered all over the website. If Goodwin wanted to clamp down on leaks, he could’ve done so privately and without taking the gloss off what should be a period of tribute to a fantastic servant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gannonball Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I think it’s probs a bit dickish revealing that it was a six figure sum to try and get the fans onside but I suppose at same time it’s better that than leaking it to a journalist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desp Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Not a good look for any party here. Andy Considine is 35 years old and he's been with Aberdeen his entire career. Why the f**k does he need an agent to negotiate a contract at this point of his career? If he's staying with Aberdeen, he'll know what he's looking for in terms of salary and length of deal. If he's leaving Aberdeen, he's got a career that speaks for itself and enough contacts within the game that he'd get fixed up no problem. Fucking think for yourself, man! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had agreed a deal almost two months ago. Then they asked for more. The club then agreed a joint statement for Thursday and Considine's camp leaked it early. Goodwin has done nothing wrong here. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
