:) good luck for your champions league against City! Hope you batter them!
 
Well done in the cups, you're smashing the league although Rangers are certainly your bogey team. And Butler is a beast.

Thats spot on about Rangers. With the run we were on and the team we put out there was no reason for that result. Will have to make having a 100% record against Rangers next season one of my targets

Go out to Man City in the Quarter Finals despite the rest in the league
Big wins follow our European failures

Daniel Monnard's 150th appearance for Aberdeen and never did we miss his familiar clean sheet than today.

Yeah he's still there job is "stable" some how! They've been quite poor when we've played this season considering last year we were quite even. I Thought they would be stronger with Guidetti and Cacic joining to make them very close to being as good as our team. Will be more surprised if there not challenging next season than if they finish down the league again

After taking so long to win the league this season we destroyed all comers. 100 points will be the target next year.


Rangers up to 2nd as Kilmarnock amaze me to reach 3rd and Celtic collapse down to a very distant 4th


After almost a decade back in the SPL Inverness end up 3 points behind Dunfermline and go down


Highland's will still have SPL football as Ross County return to the SPL

Our quietest transfer window in memory




In


Ziltch, Nobody, Nothing, Nowt.


Nothing exciting appealed to me not even any exciting youths. Still have a few targets that may come during August


However on the player front we did have a massive boost when Soldan again agreed to extend his contract meaning he'll be at Pittodrie till 2023 rather than being sold in September to leave in January. This this deal means so much, he's the star player by a long way

I can't believe there wasn't one player you liked the look of but good news with Soldan.

Perhaps i phrased that wrong. I tried to get a few players but the money teams were asking was either way too much or more than i can afford. Its getting harder and harder to get the quality players with our minimal wage budget.
 
Soldan is a poor mans Cidoncha which means he is the 2nd best FM regen I have seen! lol
