Thats right! Dortmund qualified for their first final in 34 years and it happens to be at their own stadium, 3rd final in a row without an English team involved too



Aberdeen 1-0 Dortmund

A very tight final where the home advantage helped Dortmund but couldn't get them over the line as the DOns with a 7th Champions League in a row and our toughest win​

We have completed the game on the Club front. The tie with Liverpool was lucky to go our way but after 2 terrible efforts in previous trips to this contest, we deserved this one.​
 
End of Season 23


SPL - Winner
SPL.png

13th title in a row and we won our 22nd SPL title to finally overtake our times as a runner up but were still 33 wins behind Rangers leading the way. We had a perfect first half of the season but after losing that perfect record we slowed down losing 3 more games as we rotated. Behind us, the top 6 were all split so much that we could have put the flag in the season after the split. Celtic & Hibs both jumped last year's Runner-Ups Rangers however all 4 get into the Champions League with the rising league coefficient. Dundee Utd and Hearts will be the Europa League hopes while Queens Park's reward for being champion of the bottom half is a spot in the Conference. Ross County is now a bottom half team with Hearts getting their act together after some close calls in the last decade. Motherwell's yo-yo situation remains with their relegation fascination. St Mirren who had spent 15 seasons top 7 and or in Europe are in the playoff for the 2nd season in a row. St Johnstone made an immediate return to the SPL as Cove fell flat on their face at the end of the season again and again fell apart in the playoffs

It was closer than last season but after losing the away leg a 3-0 win at home keeps them in the top flight


Managers

Squad Review


Goalkeeper
Squad GK.png

Bit of trouble with the No2 spot but Ajayi is still the solid No1

Defence
Squad DF.png

Langton & Krajcek have locked down the wing-back roles but less secure is the spot next to Cummings who himself is away to turn 32 and no clear future CB at the club to play with or replace him.


Midfield
Squad MF.png

Wingers were the stars. Piepenbrock steps up in his 2nd season making it harder for Calder's path into the starting 11. Petkov's spot is slightly safer and after scoring the winning goal in the Champions League final was my star of the season, out with a certain striker. Alvarez, Zon and Jacobs are all on an equal footing splitting time in the middle, Jimenez is demoted to 4th choice and Martinez has repeatedly asked for a move to Argentina but every time i talk to him to accept his decision he just says he's happy to say despite me being happy to let him go.


Attack
Squad AT.png

MacIver outdid himself destroying the SPL scoring record and his own scoring 72 goals in 52 games. Craig statistically was the 2nd best forward but Dujakovic plays the harder game and has a far better Ave rating. Teenage Tomas Hernandez made a great first impression

Season 24
Aberdeen 2045


The Dons won a record-breaking 7th Champions League in a row and our first-ever world club cup. For the 3rd season in a row, my sole focus of the season is a perfect season in the SPL. It's embarrassing that I've never managed this before


Squad


Goalkeepers
Squad GK.png

The old 1-2 punch of Ajay and Lawrie is back. Lawrie's aim is to play 15-20 games a season as he is now Scotland's no1

Defence
SQaud DEf.png

The back four stays the same as last season. Depth is lacking but we have a few prospects in the u19 that will get game time and Berry & Alvarez can step back and play DC

Midfield
Squad mids.png

Our strongest midfield ever? Zon has replaced Martinez despite being even more attacking the elite midfielder is now set to be a key starter. Berry & Calder on the bench somehow need to break into this side

Attack
Squad Att.png

MacIver and Dujakovic continue to lead the line. I have no idea why Dujakovic never gets ant bids. Craig is just about ready to join Maciver up top. Hernandez could be better than all of them and i hope his lack of game time won't affect his development.


Transfer Window

Dundee Utd and especially Hibs open the coffers and spend record fee's making a mockery of the old firm. Especially Rangers

A major drop to £16m was donated to other Scottish sides for their dross. I planned to go back in with more cash later in the window but was handicapped trying to loan out my own current players

Out

Very quiet window on the sales front too. I planned to use Skeet as my backup MR but with plenty of depth and a silly offer from City saw him leave. Backups Defender Carvalho and keeper Larsen were moved on for our improving youth players.

Towards the end of the window, one of our players got his long-mooted move back to Argentina. Or did he?

So after 2 seasons of talking about wanting to move back to Argentina something i was happy to facilitate. The first offer we had was from Newcastle United. That team 250 miles away not quite the 7500 miles it is to his homeland. Ramiro wanted the move so after 2 spells and 11 seasons the club's greatest centre midfielder is away.​
