 On the resumption of football in 1919, Philip was offered his old, full-time post at a salary of £350 per annum; a move which caused some controversy among the directors at the time.Philip accepted, and prepared to take the club forward into the new decade.The early 1920s proved no more fruitful for Philip and his team than the prewar era, but one record was set which still stands as of 2017 - Aberdeen's record victory of 13-0 over Peterhead in 1923.
