Miller renews Aberdeen link

Miller has committed himself to a shareholders' trust with the aim of allowing supporters to invest in the club.

He will act as a trustee to oversee the running of the new organisation along with two or three others.

But he played down suggestions that he was to become involved in a separate trust which would involve the setting-up of a youth academy and new training facilities.

"What I have committed myself to is the shareholders' association and their aim is to convert to a trust to open it up to the ordinary shareholder.

"It will give the ordinary shareholder the chance to get a stake in the club at a very minimal cost.

"They are trying to give the club back to the fans and I think that's a very good cause."

Miller insisted that there was a genuine desire among supporters to gain a greater involvement in the club.

"They're very concerned with the way the club has been run for the last five years, with the amount of debt that has been run up and the lack of progress, particularly in the youth development side.

"They want to have a say in improving Aberdeen's lot and I think that's a good thing."
