King Jela 20,361 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 The expectations start from the top. If proper investment had been put into the team I'd expect to be challenging for the league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bighouse 1,012 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Anything less than 2nd and MW should be sacked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I don't but if the folk who appoint a manager and he fails then they have to feel the anger of the fans, sadly I doubt any of this board will fee that anger.

Boards regularly fall on their sword after fucking up a managerial decision. It was a shame to see Lawwell leave Celtic after Deila. And Mowbray.

Not having a go mate but I'm getting a bit fed up hearing about us due to give someone a pumping. Right now I'd take a 1-0 and the 3 points please. You say a few months, but realistically how many games is that? 10, 15? I want us to win, today I wanted to see us win just as badly as everyone in the stadium. I get the feeling that things are slowly getting back to how things were last year, slowly but we are making improvements.... I mean, we kept a clean sheet and hill and Wilson actually looked fairly comfortable together....well that's what I took from the game at least.

Bossorange 696 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Rangers Football Club will never lower its expectations. We're in it to win it. Second is failure, regardless of what players we have at our disposal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkylineBlue 23,323 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 We know we're not going to win it. At the moment I'd bite your hand off second or third as neither of those two spots are an embarrassment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AldoKrfc 106 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 People who thought we had a slight chance of winning this league were kidding themselves on. I'd personally be happy with 2nd place, seeing our young players develop in this league and remain unbeaten at home against Aberdeen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muz333 359 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Expectations and what I would accept are completely different. At the very least we need Europe next season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetheart 8,458 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 My expectations are for MW to put aside the 4-3-3 until the board gives him funds to buy his first choice players, who have the experience to play that position. I expect the board to give him the money to shop in the right market so he can get these players and develop his team. I expect he is already trying to adapt his plan to fit the small budget offered to him by the board. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefootwillie 1,518 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I expected us to challenge Celtic this year and with a bit of luck win the league . This season 2nd place is the minimum anything less is a failure . It's taking the team too long to settle so I think second place now is the best we can achieve. I would also expect to get to at least one cup final and one semi final as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not because ceptic are streets in front of us, but how the opposition play against us and them. Totally different attitude, plus, refs are not being very favorable to us in any way, shape or form. Don't get it myself.. Celtic are the champions but you can see the difference in how the opposition set up. Look at the sheep for instance, had a wee go at park head and lost 4-1, watch how determined they are against us this week, full blown challenges,shirt tugs verbal and general being Aberdeen.

bears fan 259 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Expect nothing less than 1st, not going to happen, don't see them dropping many points and we cant beat teams like Ross County. Something has to change, now Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,600 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I expect us to win it but on current form we will do well to be third or fourth. we are down there fighting with the teams we all know are crap and not looking much better if any better.

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,715 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 We signed up with ST monies to challenging for 1st. We were then told 2nd was acceptable. Realistic expectations now for me is bottom end of top 6. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Warburton or the players were taken by surprise by the atmosphere and intensity last week at Torbett Towers they're in for a shock on Sunday when they experience the ingrained hatred the sheep shaggers have for us.
