I am also prepared to give Griffin & co another chance IF they stop with the cost cutting & allow the football side to do their job properly by making sure they have everything they need.

That has always been my beef

Anyway - I'm disappointed that Kosto isn't been given chance & unless he brings back a player that is going to put the bums on seats Mr Giffin has drove away, we have enough imports as it is. Lets use the next 3 spots to find the next Leckie/Burns

Easy to say when you have not lost millions in a few seasons. If they didn't we prob would not have owners again which would be a very bad thing. Its not good cost cutting but sometimes it is necessary

Depends on where you cut the cost..

There're is a big difference between stratigecly reducing what's not needed and just cutting costs for the sake of it.

That is true but only rob gerrard and Griffin know what they are cost cutting

sounds like griffin was not too happy about wsw getting 7 million in the interview.

Well, the new AEC ownership is slowly but surely starting to show its true intentions. already confirmed that rent has increased a significant amount. Now there is reports the stadium is being rebranded "Coopers Stadium", with the confirmation that AUFC still hold no control over security or catering I am starting to be very concerned.

It was discussed on the WATR forum, but to state it hear, surely the AEC knows that the clubs threats of going elsewhere are empty. Where else can we legitimately go that is an appropriate size for us and also complies with FFA requirements?

Just the beginning from my view point. How long until we start seeing outdoor events screw with out pitch?

I can only see two possibilities with the AEC mob.

1; United start playing entrancing football and are at the pointy end and end up qualifying for the ACL > fans flock to see them and fill Hindmarsh regularly > the FFA step in with their zero alcohol stuff, thus forcing AEC to pull their heads in > the SA & Fed governments step in and help out to foster relations with Asia, and tell AEC to pull their head in. - ( although with Tony Abbott at the helm I doubt the Feds will do anything to foster a relationship with Asia and help out " wogball " )

2; Nothing changes > fans leave and AEC and the other code that got a $535 million leg up laugh and continue to fuck us over.

When are we going to sign some more players?

I only see two as well, AEC raise rents until AUFC have to charge crippling fees, AEC raising rents until AUFC leaves Hindmarsh.

Oh yeah, I have resigned my position with AUMC Inc. No time mostly, plus I can no longer afford to give a shit - especially since AUMC Inc isn't going to do anything that I can see.

Sad to hear that, but knowing you personally, I can see the toll it's starting to wreak on you!

That's a shame but I can understand it 100%. Thanks for trying to represent us :)

As far as i know Davis Patik we only have 3 or 4 spots left and our new coach said he has a couple spain players hes signing 1 old 1 youth so in the next few weeks we should sign a couple players

Josep Gombau coaches name

Thing people are more talking about if you take your car there is no parking i think that is my only complaint Oh and the friggen one way streets lol

That you guys demand they do....After that letter i can see why they would want less participation with the committee.

Club is slowly turning around and looking good im over all the club bashing and negativity from people.


Sorry general not having a go.

Mate, just give it a rest.

When the bagging stops i will. When the negativity stops i will. So much good stuff happening and the people involved with that letter are living nearly 6 months ago now and still complaining.
Yea i will give it a rest when they do.
Sorry Mcjules but club bagging and negativity because some people did not get something there way so they completely turn on the club is wrong.
Now im not saying it is General but people in the group he supports are doing it.




Edited by liverpoolfan2010: 26/6/2013 02:05:11 AM

agree. sounds more to me like general is running for cover. egg on face and all that.

I have heard that, I just wish they would be announced, being impatient. Perhaps they have contracts until the 30th so are not going to be announced until then.

Can see why you think that but I don't think it's the main reason. The AUMC has been largely ineffective. I don't know GA personally but I remember him posting about a small business he's trying to get off the ground. If I was him, I wouldn't be wasting effort on the AUMC when it's going nowhere too.

I am against the letter and a lot of the negativity too, however the people that keep going on about the negativity are part of the problem IMO. Just leave it alone, especially in situations like GA's post where it was hardly a rant.

Davis Patik i agree i want them to announce them ASAP like u said proberly contracted


CANT WAIT HURRY UP ADELAIDE UNITED

People need to remember that AUMC Inc =/= AUFC Pty Ltd. I have nothing to run and hide from with regard to my opinions, mcjules is right - I am trying to get a small business off the ground and I would prefer to feed my family than bash my head into a brick wall on a volunteer basis.

Thank you for your efforts. Here's to a better season this year eh?:) good luck with the business mate. Send me a Facebook link.

I'm not stalking you I swear :-" Just empathetic to what you've had to go through while being on the committee :)

Edited by mcjules: 26/6/2013 10:08:12 PM

i agree both sides are the problem but that is with any debate if only this was an ideal world huh lol well if it was we would be champs twice now and acl champs once lol

hey adelaide boys n girls,

does anyone have any idea who this spainish marquee is? exciting times.

The club is keeping its cards pretty close to its chest on this one, I suspect so they can give the membership drive a second wind once the early bird discount expires. Gombau's interview also suggests the signings weren't 100% finalised but very close. There's been no shortage of speculation but I think there would be a very small circle who know who the 2 Spaniards are.

There's going to be an announcement on Monday, apparently. No idea what it will be about though.

spidy senses are tingling

I wonder if one of the players is Pablo Counago, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pablo_Cou%C3%B1ago, who is leaving Kitchee to an unknown destination. That destination could even be retirement seeing he is 33. I am not convinced that he would be a good acquisition, probably the opposite, and I thought the two Spaniards were talked about as playing other positions.
