alpine_saint Posted 17 January, 2009 Share Posted 17 January, 2009 Poortvillet, Wigley or not re-instating Hoddle ? I go for Poortvillet- he let the real man for the job (Pearson) go and he actually did try to correct the Wigley mistake, but there is no sign of him doing so with JP. Seeing as it is the second time round with this mistake of JP, and if anything he is proving even more stubborn and hasnt learnt a damned thing.

Colinjb Posted 17 January, 2009 Share Posted 17 January, 2009 I would say not reinstating Hoddle. He bowed to the fans reaction and vetoed it, it forced him to think out of the box, it hasn't worked, yet no way will he go with the fans thoughts again, no way. After all, they where right not to go with Hoddle, wern't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 17 January, 2009 Share Posted 17 January, 2009 Biggest mistake was not having the vision to see how much spending a bit of money after the cup final would have improved our club for the long-term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corky morris Posted 17 January, 2009 Share Posted 17 January, 2009 Worst mistake? Not backing Strachan when he had the chance after the cup final, but there are so many to choose from it is very difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Landrew Posted 17 January, 2009 Share Posted 17 January, 2009 Worst mistake? Not backing Strachan when he had the chance after the cup final, but there are so many to choose from it is very difficult. I'm not sure it should be called not-backing-Strachan, as WGS was always going eventually. But whatever you call it - I tend to call it brinkmanship - this was a mistake that the rest have flowed from, and so it's easily the biggest of many. EDIT: I see Saint Clark has described it better.

Toomer Posted 17 January, 2009 Share Posted 17 January, 2009 Lowe's worst mistake was getting involved with the club in the first place, should have stuck with selling pensions and insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the original plan which was derailed by fan protest. The appointment of Sturrock was unnecessary and unwarranted. This episode has still to be explained if you want to find the root of our current predicament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheaf Saint Posted 17 January, 2009 Share Posted 17 January, 2009 I think Lowe's biggest mistake is believeing that he could be a successful football chairman even though, by his own admittance, he knew absolutely nothing about the game when he took over. 12 years on and he is still none the wiser.

Saint Billy Posted 18 January, 2009 Share Posted 18 January, 2009 There are so many, but forcing his way back into this club for a second stint banged the final nail in the coffin. He rode back into town like some sort of messiah expecting that his revolutionery tactics would transform sfc, but yet again he has bungled it and has now taken us to the very edge of hell. I despise the man with a vengeance and cannot wait for the day that he rides back out on his mule Wilde and banished forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
