Spot on. The only time we succeeded anywhere near within our means in my lifetime was around big McLeish's time, in terms of player budget.

Was it not around that time we had a member of Lloyds bank sitting in at board meatings

Aye, I think so. The financial naughty step.

We came out of 9IAR with no net debt and cash in the bank. It was only after 1997 that the spending went crazy.

Up until around 1965.

 

Anything after that can be accurately described as bad.

 

Even when successful, after 1965, the un-Struthian nature of it all turns the stomach.

I know this is going to be a strange one but I would say as of recently was the leading up to  the 2010/2011 season before we went into administration in terms of winning stuff and being financially stable, we won the Scottish cups 07/08 08/09 10/11  PL 07/08 08/09 10/11 sure in 2012 we went into administration due to unsustainable spending or whatever but the years preceding saw higher revenues be it fans support, Champions league money.

Yeah, Martin Bain seemed to do a good job when Murray was moved to one side.

Something that I thought I'd never say / agree on. Bain was alao portrayed as the bad guy to Murray being the good guy. But as you say, he was doing a good job before SDM was "duped".

Bain was posted missing before & after Whyte came in and subsequently binned him. At least Paul Murray called out whyte before he took over but was ignored by everyone including Murray & the SFA

49ers do what?

 

Bring in a new medical and physiotherapy team, and equipment,  tout de suite.
