It’s bizzare that some are having a go at Dick Donald, I can only presume it is a way of trying to say Milne is not that bad so let’s look at it like this.
Under Dick Donald in 20 odd years we won 14 trophies.
Under Stewart Milne in 20 odd years we have won 1 trophy.
Still shocking that Donald appointed Porterfield I guess![]()
Smith & Jocky Scott did a good job and were a good management team. The team from 89-91 was up there with the best we’ve had.
Smiffy on his own was s’hite though - hence he got punted.
May 91 at Mordor will haunt him (and us) to the grave...
To summarise the other posts - yes Donald had his faults - the point re McMaster and not calling out the scum is a good one - and I agree Anderson was the real visionary in those days, but Donald let him and Fergie get on with it and look at the results we got.
Milne was right about Setanta - but he’s got precious little else right.
As I said, no comparison between the two.
I think first choice was Walter Smith but Jim McLean would have had him tied up on a million year contract.
It's not a crumbling ruin.
If people say something often enough it still doesn't make it true.
SM will go down in History as the man who built a new stadium as that's all he will be remembered for
I know someone that'll be happy about tonight.
