Neil warnock "Aberdeen is my type of club"

[Taunton Blue Genie]

Watching live sport and getting paid. It would do for me

I shall cease my positive outlook and doff my cap to your profound cynicism

[A Quiet Monkfish]

Three and a half year contract, wasn’t it? Do you reckon he was worth that commitment from the club? I noticed you swerved the McKay brothers.

Reading signed him on a 4yr deal from Aston Villa, and we did pretty much the same from Reading. He played 111 times for us. You can argue about the merits of the deal but as I asked, how was it 'iffy' ? The McKay bros if I remember rightly were never in the squad.

‘Never in the squad’, the decision to take them on makes that even more iffy. As I’ve alluded to, I don’t particularly care about other
clubs actions, so Reading’s dealings don’t interest me. Warnock had a a ‘parachute payment’ war chest which he pissed up the wall with inferior signings, signings which may have financially benefited him, allegedly, I say ‘allegedly’ but it can’t be denied that he has a chequered history in the murky financial football world.

Relegated clubs hope that parachute payments aid their aim of an immediate Premier League return and new players on longish contracts will play a part in both promotion and consolidation. Do you reckon the likes of Bacuna were signed with that in mind? And the McKay brothers….I despair, there was an ulterior motive in Warnock’s personal favour that prompted that deal in my opinion. The McKay connection certainly didn’t end well, unfortunately.

No-one seems to have mentioned who Bacuna's agent was

Or which agent Joe Ralls and Sean Morrison were persuaded to move to

Bacuna was an awful player

[J R Hartley]

Bacuna was an awful player

A very, very lucky man. Gained several lucrative long term contracts throughout his career which his abilty clearly did not warrant.

I dont know what cut his agent got but he earned every single penny of it. He had Reading and Cardiffs pants down.

Junior Hoilett just signed for the dons

Good luck to him. He was a very good signing for us, as was Sol Bamba.

The vast majority of the rest of Colin`s signings for us were far less good and/or dubious in their nature.
