I get that feeling too.
The term 'Sold a Pup'  by our  Snake oil Salesman of a Chairman spings to mind.

Drastic surgery was required to the squad, but he was given a budget for Elastoplast..

Luggys thoughts

Exasperating is the word four managers in a short time inconsistent performances due to managers revamping squads and the club youth policy in tatters. Recruitment has been shambolic a steady flow of foreign players who have no pedigree and the lack of signings from the competitive leagues down south. But what annoys me is the the goals against column which has never been addressed thru the reign of these managers.Also the lack of height and pace which has plagued us most of the time in the championship This league is very competitive something which we cant handle due to managers trying to build a passing team out of squads of players incapable of stringing three passes together.alas also these passes are invariably square and back and slow allowing teams to regroup. A style of play with positive forward passing and an emphasis on getting into crossing areas with a press the ball mentality when out of possession added to a battle mentality will at times not look pretty but will get us out the league. I have taken over several teams in the same mode as united and managed to revamp them it takes hard hours on the training ground and most importantly that attitude and workrate changes are over emphasised making it clear lack of these ingredients will only mean one thing up the stand watching the game . The reasons for our demise i leave to you fellow arabs to debate i think its more complex than blaming one man .I still believe that the important people are the fans and players feed off your backing so abuse if merited should be at end of game and total support wether they are bad good or indifferent should be given thru the game.Once an arab always an arab/

Hard to argue with most of this apart from the blaming one man bit maybe.

Whilst our best performance was probably Falkirk at home under Csaba where his ideas clearly all worked that day and our opposition were pathetic, I personally thought the St Mirren game under Ellis was the style that really got the fans juices going, we tried to pass the ball but never once overcooked it. Everything was done at a really high tempo with players always looking for the ball, none of this set goal kick routines which become really predictable under Csaba, when Lewis had the ball the full backs or centre halves immediately looked for the ball and it was played out quickly or even thrown long for wide players, we battled and ended up making them look very ordinary. By all accounts we played the same against Dumbarton under him too. I think we need to get back to this type of approach.

Luggy wanted the job when Ray got punted. I know that for a fact.

But he felt he shouldn't need to apply for it (fair enough).

I thought ill health ment he couldn't take another managers job? Sure I read that last year

He wanted it till the seasons end mate and then was going to suggest staying on after that for a period as a Director of Football to help whoever the new Manager would be.

Fair comment.

Probably better off being nowhere near it.

Aye Luggy should stay well away from management now.  But perhaps somebody like Luggy would be ideal to be a figurehead for change?

Can't see it mate.

He's quite sympathetic towards Thompson.
 

Sure he won't walk away, why would he? Surely he'd struggle to find a job if he did.

His reputation is mainly built on improving teams struggling.

Calling him clueless is easy and he may be at fault but yesterday's performance was brutal in every respect with the tactics he layed out. Every player was pish and I doubt any tactics or formation or instruction was to blame as the team failed in so many ways whilst lacking urgency, confidence and fight.

Sure as fuck he didn't instruct them to panic, pass to the opposition or put a pass out for a throw in, go backwards when a cross was possible and stand back n' hope somecunt else would put in a fuckin tackle whilst they walked through us.
ST has the biggest influence on success, manager has the next best chance.Turning on him might not be the fast solution.

We have a bad mentality of feeling like a big team which means nothing without fight and determination especially in a league full of that.

No Csaba won’t walk away, well not without a heavy wallet like all those before him.

I hope to fuck we have a clause to get him.to fuck in the summer.

Reckon that be down to him not wanting to burn a bridge based on his thoughts above. Reads like he'd take a job if offered. Don't think he should touch it, or vice versa.

I dinnae want luggy anywhere near the dugout.
