Allys going nowhere.

but you have to be realistic on what is happening at Rangers, you have to stage your ambitions; to still be in existence next year and be in the SPL is pretty lofty, don't you think, given where we are tonight?

 

if we achieve that then will raise my Rangers based ambitions at that point. My craziest ambition is that we beat septic in February, but sure there are a number of people on this forum who would say that is crazy, to be frank, it probably is.

you may temper your expectations but not your ambitions.

I agree, no certainties, so ambitions only, no guarantee of financies, as you say massively reduced gates, Ashley not certain to throw more cash at this, even if it is loan, particularly as results are so poor, therefore where would his advertising potential come from, elongated timescales,...

We haven't shown ambition for nearly 15 years as a club or fan base.

don't agree, you'd have to be a little crazy given the present circumstances at Ibrox not to reign in your ambitions, but it may also depend on where your level of ambition was originally. as a reasonably old Rangers fan I've been to thoughts/ambitions of being European Cup Winners Cup Winners (ie Barca), when I was very young, but old enough to remember, to being potential European Cup winners, to UEFA Cup winners, so very lofty ambitions.

 

I have all sorts of other non-football supporting ambitions, family and personal, but it is completely unrealistic not to reign in my Rangers ambitions until we have some realistic prospects for the short term future, days that a few years ago I thought I'd never be conversing about.

 

appreciate that you could be a similar age to me, so not preaching on an ageist basis.

That wasnt for me Mike was it? Not sure it applies to my wee post above.

 

A realistic ambition of the current Rangers is a domestic quadruple. We may very well end up with nothing.

 

The expectation should be to win the double whilst developing the first 11 in preparation for the SPFL.

You must me having a laugh.

SC was not a direct reply to your post, but we're out of the CL so no domestic quadruple is happening, hope we make it to SPL, but non guarantees, off to ma wee bed.

 

cheers Mike.

Stop picking on him, Zappa.

 

The treble wasn't a realistic ambition even at the height of our powers.
