Jim Goodwin may be splashing the cash at Aberdeen, but he knows the value of money after cutting his teeth in the real world.
The Pittodrie boss has been well backed by chairman Dave Cormack as he set about reshaping the Dons squad following a dismal campaign last season. £1.3million has been spent on new faces so far this summer. Bojan Miovski is the most expensive at £530,000, while Luis ‘Duk” Lopes was a £400,000 acquisition from Benfica. Jayden Richardson, Ylber Ramadani and Cal Roberts were all signed for six figure fees as well.
Calvin Ramsay ’s big move to Liverpool boosted the coffers, no doubt. But the spend still dwarfs anything else laid out by other Premiership clubs outside of Celtic and Rangers. But Goodwin will never take it for granted after a a playing career that saw him play at the highest level in Scotland, but hardly set the Irishman up for life.
