selling Gms and SA showed how much of an incompetent manager jackie was, his failure to adapt for the remainder of that season showed and was heavily relied on ciftci bailing us out. then the summer he had the opportunity to replace key players and prevent the downward spiral but instead he signed inexperienced/untested players and then relied on players who werent to the same quality of the departed players (Dow, erskine, connelly etc). the team we had when he left was good enough to stay up but was nowhere near the same level of quality of the previous couple of seasons.

although Thompson takes huge blame for the starting of the downward spiral. jackie and mixu are bigger culprits imo. jackie had no plan B and had lost interest while mixu just didnt get any reaction from the players he inherited to pull us out of trouble.

The Slippy Slope

ST becoming chairman with his 5 year business plan to get his dad's money back.
Selling GMS and SA to our rival before 2 Cup Finals against them.
Stevie Campbell saga.
Revelation about Jackie getting 10% of players sold.
Appointing Mixu who was the first and last interviewed.
Letting players go and recruiting badly.
Newcastle Jets nonsense.
Ray's one up front Plan A strategy not getting us back up.
Csaba losing Fraser and Fivie,
ST holding tightly to ownership refusing to sell cheaply.

Meanwhile we slip further and further down.

FWIW I wouldn’t have played GMS in that final anyway having signed a pre contract with them

Agree.

We were getting set up to be sold.....the chairman took his eyes off the prize and Jackie & co set the wheels in motion for our downfall. The Stevie Campbell saga did a lot more damage within the club than believed with players trust and respect for the club being shattered with stories of people getting cash for sales. We changed from a club that had a family feel about it, into a club where everyone was out for themselves. This is a cancer that the club has struggled to shake and we will be stuck in this rut unti we have root and branch changes at the club....currently, the only way I can see this happening would be by ploughing the club into administration and hoping it can be saved. I don't think the tim two being sold relegated us....we were destroyed by greed and selfishness.

A chairman who:

sold 2 of our best players to our rivals when we could of done a potential treble (not saying we wouldve of but we were In all 3 with a good chance).

Agreed to give a manager % of player sales.

Replaced every **** manager he brought In with more free agent dumplings.

Has us In debt after making over 10 million In transfers.

Enough Is enough, boycott until the rat sells up.

A treble... you serious?

Is ST doing a Bill Hiddleston of Third Lanark? Slowly but surely killing our club.
