Old Aybirdeen proverb, "Build a thousand bridges; or shag a sheep once.....what will you be remembered for?"

I just want him to come out and tell me, the paying Customer, WTF is the direction and plan?

On balance, he's done a good job.  He pissed the Zombies off on more than one occasion and also refused to let Pedro Houston hold the club to ransom.  He also came back early from holiday in Florida in 2011 to tell Houstie to get his finger out of his arse, which seemed to galvanise us that season as well. (I wish he'd do that with McNamara just now). However there are issues about the governance (or lack thereof) of the club, particularly this season which have clearly put a black mark on his reputation, even outwith the sales of Harry and Lloyd.

I wish he didn't allow figures about transfer fees to be banded about when he knew full well that these figures were FAR more than the club actually recived due to fee's, cuts, add-ons etc.  I can remember being at a Arabtrust Q and A where he said that he had a cheque for 2.8 million sitting in a clearing account from Blackburn for Goodie and was having a barny with the bank about the money.  I don't doubt that the bank wanted the money, but the figure he said was a lot of shite and he clearly said it just to try to impress the punters there.  Clubs a) pay in installments and b) This figure was a net total if Goodie reached a number of milestones in terms of appearances, Scotland caps etc (add-ons) few of which, if any were reached. If he'd been a bit more honest about transfer fee's folk probably would have cut him a bit more slack in the last few months about the sales of the Hitman and Her and the remaining debt.
