The “rot” also could’ve finally ended with one of our best squads (2015/16) in modern history taking the last wee step.. Aye, very fine margins between a 2 season spell where we could have won the cup then been promoted, rather than McCracken and McDonald shitting the bed, then getting a length off Killie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 It wasn’t Yogi that signed off on the contracts that was down to the MD at the time. Of course they guys were poor signings but no way did we have to offer they wages. It’s a managers job to keep asking for more money and wanting as much as possible to spend if the club gives him too much that’s on them not the manager. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had some great times under Yogi but he left us in the shit. That cup run papered over the cracks. We were still in the top flight and he didn’t appoint Eddie May. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yogi would have known fine well they weren't coming here on the cheap though. He would have known the numbers wouldn't be adding up and essentially it back fired massively. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie may is essentially blameless IMO. Forced into management by the tent salesman as he was the cheap option. We had to go for the cheap option because the board fell for Yogi's "next level" dream. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rot that started this farce is down to those that downed tools on Houstie the board decisions added to that, which brings us to the sh*te state we are in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can talk about off the pitch stuff until the cows come home, on the pitch we got our act together second half of 2015, 2015/16 and 2016/17 wasn’t too shabby either in hindsight. We were all geared for SPFL again but just missed out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just makes me sad to think that the last 12 years have been increasingly poor for us. Whenever Yogi is in the news or gets a new job, I can't help but think that he was our last really good manager. And each time, it makes me focus on the direction we have taken since he left (ie down) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
