    Ogren closed the purse strings in January when getting in a striker and a keeper would have kept us up. This season has been a self inflicted disaster.

    This. We could've been saved, but our owner chose not to. It's as simple as that.

    Yes, as I understand it that's about size of it. ☹️

    It's unforgivable for me. Worse than ST selling players to Celtic before the final. As far as im concerned i want him out the club asap

    'Getting in a striker & a keeper' is easier said than done, not just financially. We did bring in a midfielder in October on a 2-yr contract & he's not exactly keeping us up.

    I know he's not everyone's cup of tea and he's a cnt of the highest order but I'd have signed Kyle Lafferty till the end of the season after his release from Killie.

    We managed to get rid of a keeper and a striker, though? We also got rid of a helluva lot of other players in January also! If that wasn't Ogren pulling the wheels up...then god knows what it was! I think getting a loanee keeper or striker should have been relatively simple. Any goalkeeper would have been an improvement! TA was meant to be heading up some big recruitmet team was he not! We were taking kids across from africa on trial based on youtube clips when we should have been looking at the championship!

    Finding a keeper better than what we have is the easiest task in football.

    I find it impossible to think there wasn't at least an average keeper out there somewhere in all the leagues domestic and further afield that couldn't have done a job until the end of the season. Eriksson was another calamity, but in that one game against Hibs 1-0 Tannadice, he made more saves than Spaghetti has the entire season. Economic suicide by the chairman not to put out at little bit in January to avoid the huge financial hit that is coming.

    as bad is he is as well, we wouldn't be bottom with Eriksson in the goal. Scary decisions from everyone at the club, almost seems deliberate
