minstral 5,375 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 In the late 60s early 70s we had 4 managers in 5 years. 1967 we had Scot Symon, 67-69 Davie White, 69-72, Willie Waddell, and Jock Wallace made it 4 in 10 years in 1972. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieD 18,732 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Just the way modern football has gone in general. Your Alex Fergusons and Dario Gradis are the exception rather than the rule these days, sadly. Could be worse. Four in ten years is relatively few by most standards.

laudrupforever 17 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I agree with him as Davie White was not as bad as people make him out to have been.Aye, he always mentions that DW was up against a really good Celtic team and nearly won the league at one point as well.

We blew it in the last three games and never got near them again for five years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davie also had taken us to the Quarter and Semi finals of the Inter-Cities fair cups. We lost to Leeds and then Newcastle, but Gornik the Polish team was the end for Davie.
