Under Bertie we sold Alan Hansen, Joe Craig, Ronnie Glavin, Doug Somner, Colin McAdam and Jim Melrose for something in region I believe of £700k the most Bertie spent was 60k on Kenny Watson
Wee Bertie did play it defensively in the context of the era. But today it is termed as counter attacking football. Even Jim Mclean admitted that Thistle played a modern game of 4-4-2 and done it so well. Bertie was a very shrewd tactician who done a magnificent job with a part time team.He gets undeserved criticism. Also I recollect that when he left the club had 500k in the bank. Whateverr happened to that?
As our wonderful authorities regard them a continuance(same club) its either 25 points deduction or a third of previous season total? Not sure which one. Interesting to see if the brothers doon ra ludge follow their own rules.
