Booing Dessers isn't going to get us a winning team on the pitch. The board have made terrible decision after terrible decision (appointing Clement may be another, who knows). Until the board appoint people capable of running a football club, we'll continue to regress until it all falls apart (it's close to falling apart in mu opinion). 14th of August and we still haven't sorted out the squad despite 6 months of planning and we still don't know when we'll be back at Ibrox (or what progress has been made since the last announcement). Run but amateurs Mate with the best will in the world, you simply can't rebuild a whole entire squad and first XI in one window and expect to be successful. Certainly not in the professional game. This will take this window, the next, the one after and probably the one after that. Maybe more. We're not a part time outfit in the lowland league even if the governance of the club resembles it.

Didn't say we could (in fact been saying this for years, funny that) - but why say that this window has been in the planning for 6 months then? 2 weeks until the end of the window and we don't know if we are going for a shit or a haircut when it comes to transfers 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, i'd imagine there are decision trees covering various different options if they transpire. I'd hope thats the case rather than waiting for something to happen then going 'right what do we do now?'. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not a part time outfit in the lowland league even if the governance of the club resembles it. Didn't say we could - we've regressed, not improved. We are in a worse position than we were in May. We've won 1 title in what, 13 years? We hear the same every summer. Before we know it we'll be facing another panic to stop 9-in-a-row. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think 4 OF games last season and also last night. That said, the year we returned, I think Morelos and Jack were certainties for strange yellows and reds, some overturned, some not. For a couple of years, the let the Compliance Officers loose (wherever he/she/it is nowadays). Last season it was referees and VAR again. We'll see what they whip up this season, sectarian songs anyone? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Ro55 759 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 (edited) Sometimes you have to take a step back. This was always going to be a longterm project and I'm with Big Phil. This, we want it now, and booing our own player crap is just poor form. We could go all out for a title or build for several in a row, I know what I'd prefer.

We could go all out for a title or build for several in a row, I know what I'd prefer. You see, this is very true. Yet, a look at TM just told me that we are back in the first tier since 9 years. For a couple of years (give one or two more) the Scum was far ahead of us in terms of personal and money. While they are still way ahead in terms of money, e.g. last season - and our European runs - showed that we are by no means underdogs or blatant outsiders. More generally ... No-one knows what the future holds, but the time of projects for every new manager should be over by now. This is simply not a club like Sunderland, Everton, Tottenham and the like, who just lives a life as a football club with the odd highlight every 3 years. We have but one competitor, a beatable competitor. Outside factors aside, we should be able to get our act together with much more ease than we have shown these last few seasons. Instead of blasting out 12m or the like on a couple of strikers, we should acquire a handful of capable people like Aberdeen found in Miovski. People able to put the Hibs and Dundees to the sword every other week. Bred and butter players, not future assets or CL/EL darlings. A lot would change if we finally adapt to the style of play in Scotland, not trying to do Plan A better for years. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
