Mrdc Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I keep reading on the forum, some posters hinting of terrible things that have been happenning behind the scenes and rocking the boat before a ball has been kicked in anger. Any idea of what these are or is it just a load of made up guff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrs Court Red Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Historically such bullshit would be created in the supporters club before the game before filtering out to anyone that would listen.

Jon atyeo is my dad Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Judging by yannicks transfer request and the clubs handling the fact we have no chairman and no vocal figure head boardroom level this club is a totally rudderless ship! No chairman no new stadium = undermining of everything mcinnes and the players do! I have no idea what the club is trying to achieve long term or short term ????? We are completely in the dark! I'm quite an optimistic fan but getting very disillusioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those things probably isn't spending every waking moment justifying himself to a bunch of hysterics. Patience is one of this ages lost virtues. Try it - you'll be happier for it.

Guest ashtonphil Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 There have been redundancies on the administrative side of the club, with well know faces no longer at the club (Jayne Maggs and Ed Furniss) to name but two... I think McInnes may have been asked to build a club from the bottom up, I don't know just a guess, so he has ruffled a few feathers.

Keith Dawe is a decent man who had no ambition to be chairman but the situation with Sexstone being removed as chairman forced his hand.

Give it a couple of years and Jon Lansdown will take over Exactly. And I don't think it's a bad thing to have a chairman going about his business quietly. I have my doubts about Guy Price, as he seems to be a bit of a plank but as long as I have a team to support, that's what I'll do. I'm not interested about hyperbole, speculation and hearsay on the non playing side of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downendcity Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 How are we meant to know who is in the know? I'm absolutely certain that I'm not in the know. There are quite a few posters who know they are not in the know and readily admit to not being in the know. Some posters give the impression that they are in the know, but we all know that they are not in the know - they really know b****r all. Other posters don't say that they are in the know, but they are in the know without any of us realising that they are in the know. Other posters post odd bits of information that give the impression that they are in the know, but without enough evidence to convince us for certain that they are in the know. Some posters are in the know a bit, but give the impression that they are in the know a lot more than they really are. Some posters say they are in the know, are in the know but won't say how they are in the know. Some posters apparently are in the know about everything and won't be told they are not by another poster, even oif the other poster is more in the know than they are. who is more in the know than they are. Derek McInnes is completely in the know............................................................................ ....unless you listen to posters who are completely in the know, so know that McInness knows nothing - especially about signing new players , team selection and tactics. Steve Lansdown is completely in the know......................................................................... .......unless you listen to the posters who are completely in the know, so know that SL knows nothing - especially when it comes to finance, putting his hand in his pocket for the club, how to build a new stadium and organising the club's finances under FFP.

I suspect there's many out there in this position but because these people don't post saying "look at me, look at me" we have no idea of the numbers. It also makes it difficult to post on certain subjects if you have been given information. And makes transfers less exciting. Best move of the Summer for me was Anderson as I literally got home from work one day, opened up otib and saw we'd signed someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
