If true I think it's a good move as we was very light in the centre midfield position against Celtic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletcher, McGrath, Sibbald, Middleton will be regarded as safe SPFL signings - better players at smaller clubs in our league (some who have struggled to cut it elsewhere) - or returning veterans from down south for a final pay day. Hearts signing Shankland just feels lazy. The guy's only good seasons were in the second tier with Ayr and Dundee United. He's not done really it in the top flight either with us, United or the Belgian club. The club have gone down a different route - the next fives games will begin to give us a better picture if it was the right move to cast the net a bit wider. McGrath is the only one I'd touch from the Utd signings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 7 hours ago, betting competition said: Had a look at the accounts not so sure, can any accountants confirm? If you are correct then they lost about 2.2m and the year before nearly 3m. Insurance payout was only till the end of the season so it won't be much. https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/aberdeen/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/19235219/Annual-Report-2021.pdf There were losses of about £2.2m after the transfer fees received, but before insurance that'll go through the 21/22 accounts that fills that hole. Dave (and possibly other shareholders) covered the £3.something loss in the previous year by buying shares shares (October /November 2020 in the accounts- presumably cash was covered in the year with soft loans that got partly repaid with ST cash) which pretty much means they know they won't see that again. We do, however have £75m to find for our sexy new stadium so i doubt all fees will go into the playing budget. (not an accountant by the way) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the new model was to try and play a team exclusively of wingers, rather than the previous policy of only central midfielders? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Grimes Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I think that finally closes the book on Connor Ronan I’d imagine just one more signing, defensive cover, and that’s us done 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a defensive player that's for sure but already the understanding from him and Ramadani is promising.
