We theoretically could have had a very good core of players if a coach had been able to sell a solid vision, is that fair to say?
I appreciate it might have been difficult to attract and identify these players but it does offer a glimpse of what slipped through the net, or markets we could still be exploring at least?
The obvious being Robertson, McGinn who was achievable when leaving St Mirren he went to Hibs, Allen, McLean, Shankland and in another scenario possibly even Christie.
This isn't a way to dwell on the past, it was more just a look back at our future and a theoretical how it could and should have been even despite the kick in the balls we took.
With correct investment that period could have been a lot more enjoyable than it was.
***this isn't even just a way as to kick the shit out of McCoist either as it is easy to say things with hindsight.
