Bing Cosby Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 The double swoop for Phil O'Donnell (RIP) and Simon Donnelly was a monumental mess. Both decent players, but on huge wages and spent almost all their time on the treatment table. It was symptomatic of the slide the club was on at the time.

Both for his goal & assist rate over the last 3 years; & managers picking him ahead of better players. Particularly Joao in 15/16. His rare goal flurry last season, May save him from being the worst; but definitely a contender. What?? Blokes a legend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played 6 games. - and every one a disaster IIRC. Don't know how much we moved him on for, or if he left on a free. Thinking back even a 'free' would have been too much. And got himself sent off prob on purpose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adem Poric Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 In 1997 when Please was manager he decided he would spend £1.6m on Jim Magilton and give him £16k per week. I was 14 at the time and it's the angriest I've ever been about a player signing. Dreadful player on big money (meaning he pretty much had to be played) which made our team worse and we ended up scrapping against relegation. I'll never forgive David Pleat.

To be fair like most Scottish imports after the 80s they were out of their depth in the Premiership despite coming from celtic, when your playing against players of the quality of our 3 division 90% of the season it made them look good.

I have never hated a player more than De Bilde. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate Pleat with a burning passion. From the eyes of a child, I watched him dismantle my childhood team, letting players like Waddle, Walker, Bart-Williams, Sheridan, Bright and Hirst (with a fair few others) go and replacing them with dross like Magilton, Sedloski, Sanetti, Oakes, Trustfull, McKeever, Collins, Billington, etc. He was the beginning of the end for us, I'd argue we still haven't recovered from his tenure.

Yeah...........i remember him getting rid of Sheridan , and then a few weeks later saying we needed someone who could "manipulate the ball".............Jim Magilton was his answer...........to$$er. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
