    Some tough competition in the last 10 years but I’ll go for this:

    1, The change in philosophy after Ismael left. Turned our best team in 20 years into one of our worst ever. Changed the style and brought in a shocking manager, all in the name of player resale value. Got us relegated.

    2, This one. Sacking the manager right before the playoffs. Messing up on the visa rules and ending up with no manager, effectively wasting a whole season.

    3, Going up under Stendel with League 1’s best defence, then selling the entire back line (plus Moore) and replacing them with 20 year olds. Then sacking Stendel.

    Honourable mentions for January 2017, McBurnie’s fax, Marsh’s FA Cup appearance, Hasselbank’s interview, the West Stand’s safety certificate and Jose Morais.

    Selling the club to a bunch of dodgy investors was pretty catastrophic tbh.

    Soon be the off season where we can complain about..

    1) Replica shirts being unavailable for Father's Day and early summer.

    2) Poor pre season friendlies likely against the usual suspects such as Hull.

    Sending a transfer bid for Stevie Mallan to a supporters group instead of St Mirren

    Patrick Cryne's regime hoodwinking the faithful to accepting this crap. Just be happy we have a club. Buy a trainset or some golf clubs. Plenty of clubs for that. Too soft.

    I know. But it just didn’t quite go to plan did it? Remember when we were fooled into thinking those owners had loads of cash to spend and we were one of the richest clubs in the football league?

    Getting shut of having a manager to move to an head coach role.

    Hiring a DOF who's no experience of professional Football to interfere in playing matters.

    Not being a Real Living Wage business so expecting people to do dozens of different aspects of a job for poor pay.

    I liked your third paragraph. Being hammered by that lovely person in S61. Would have been suicidal tonight if it wasn't for George.

    I suppose I’m saying that I don’t rank is as as much of a s***show as the many unforced errors above, because Cryne’s hand was somewhat forced by his illness. Had to sell up and they seemed the best option (if there even were other options!).

    So yep it turned out to be disastrous, but wasn’t a predictable disaster like the above.
