Calderwood's money trouble
27 Feb 2007 - 10:10:37
Aberdeen manager Jimmy Calderwood has revealed that the poor financial position at Pittodrie means he is unable to compete in the transfer market with eircom League side Bohemians.
The Dons boss is keen to strengthen his squad in the summer, but knows falling attendances will leave him with less money to spend.
"We played Bohemians in Dublin on Friday night and they're in a much stronger position financially than us with their ground, Dalymount Park, set to be sold for £40million," Calderwood told the Daily Record.
"I know Bohemians can afford transfer fees, but I couldn't buy an Irish player if his club asked for money.
"It's frustrating but that's the reality of our situation.
"We have ideas about what we want to do in the summer and the positions that we want to strengthen, but it all comes back to what the bank says."
