    This has the potential to go far. I’ll start.



    Kramaric left in the rain in the car park

    Eddie Howe being denied his own staff

    Losing McGinn over 400k over 2 months

    Interviewing Deila as Roy Keane’s assistant before employing him as manager after Keane rejects the premise

    And an old classic to round things off for me - Offering Rivaldo a trial one year after being the second best player at the World Cup in 2002.


    To quote David Brent “I’ve got loads more” but I’ll save some for others.

    Hiring Lennon in the showers at Hampden and binning the applicants CVs is my personal fave.

    Refusing to let go of Lennon despite * results and fan protests, for us to finally let him go and replace him with his assistant.

    Would’ve been my debut album title when I make it, but the relevance was too appropriate for it to be wasted tonight.

    Hiring Dom McKay as your new Chief Executive, having your best transfer window in literally decades when he's there, only to sack him a few weeks later.

    Getting battered off Legia in the 3rd round of the Champions League, then getting awarded the tie because of their ineligible player starting the game, only to lose the play off game against Maribor. Bants.

    I’ll add to that. Taking an injured player who had covid. Which then meant others had to isolate.

    Reading the yellow banner on Sky tonight that a player rejected us for Charlton is one of the most depressing things ive ever seen.
