Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Unlike some who wanted to see large sums of money being spent i'm happy with the way business has been conducted for such a small outlay. Given that the bookies when we clinched promotion had us at odds of 8/1 for the league which has now fallen to 3/1 it would appear that they and I feel this team can mount a credible challenge. And another reason i'm happy with it is that if there is any money in the kitty I prefer to see how things work out with this team the rest of this year then have something in reserve for the January window when we will have a better idea of how the land lies so to speak. The manager hasn't let us down yet and I trust his judgement on this. I don't want us to be spending any money we can't afford but we're going to be have to start spending some cash if we want to become a half decent European side. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Bit pointless spending it now though. Not really. We should be in Europe the season after next and it takes time to build a team capable of competing in it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
les186 271 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 The problem with Scottish football is that it takes a different team to do well in Europe as it does in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

boabie 230 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) I don't want us to be spending any money we can't afford but we're going to be have to start spending some cash if we want to become a half decent European side. If you were sat in the Rangers boardroom from any time since the criminal paperwork was issued, to say nothing about the civil case chancers at Worthington, etc then you would know that only a fool would throw tens of millions at Rangers right now. I took some stick a couple of weeks ago but stand by what I said - top six. When the criminal stuff has ended and those responsible are behind bars, and clarity shows who actually owns the company called Rangers, we can maybe look towards a Rangers minded person throwing some serious cash at improving us. To sum up - if I had money I would not be looking at signing top margque players. Edited June 23, 2016 by boabie 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,693 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Not really. We should be in Europe the season after next and it takes time to build a team capable of competing in it. Our priority right now is the league. If all is looking good by the end of the year and Euro participation looking likely then would be a better time to spend anything that may be in the kitty in preparation for Europe. It also gives us time to see how the team works as a unit and then be better able to decide what to spend and where. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I suggest you read Dave Kings response in regards to the ongoing legal battles. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strongly agree, let's take a look at last seasons top 6 as a comparison. 1 Celtic 2 Aberdeen 3 Heart of Midlothian 4 St Johnstone 5 Motherwell 6 Ross County This squad the manager is constructing is capable of no more than edging out Ross County? I think not. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to our final position next season, I guess we'll have to wait and see. Regarding King - I believe what he said about the ownership being safe. But we've yet to see the colour of his money. So thanks, but I'll stand by what I said about piles of cash being thrown at the club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
