Bossorange 696 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Shut up. My club will never adjust its expectations. We start every season with the aim of winning the premiership. I couldn't care if we had Kevin Kyle leading the lines. 2nd is failure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this rate with MW , that is where we are heading. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddybears1872 129 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 The days of me going to a match and expecting to be coming home with a smile after a great win are long gone, I was lucky enough to see the glory we had for years, Now I just take each match as it comes.Without any expectation.

Bears r us 30,772 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 No intention of re-adjusting my expectations. If the people who are in charge, the board and team management are not up to the job we will have to find people who are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenDavis 112 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 The aim is always winning the league - but you are deluded if you think we are in a position to at this moment in time and probably even more deluded if you think we will be in a position to any time soon. This is a massive re-building process we are no where near completing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
He's blue he's white 717 Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 Our expectation that we will win this league is deluded. Our expectation that we have a good enough squad is deluded. Our expectation that the board will 'front end' the cash we need to be highly competitive is deluded.

Expectations of our team, our manager and our board. that's the hardest bit mate but right now we just need to suck it up and hope we find investment soon. I openly admit I expected this team to be as good as the ones pre administration because we have been brought up on Rangers winning everything in Scotland yearly. brutal to be asked tho to change expectations but if we don't it'll be a depressing season. hopefully for next summer we can find investment to have a proper challenge next year.

I've grown up expecting to win every game we play, witbessing the good tines. as some have already mentioned ... We're in a massive re-build process and a long journey awaits. Probably much longer than I had anticipated. Hard one to take Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expectations of our team, our manager and our board. I couldn't disagree more. We don't adjust our expectations to the standard of football. The standard of football must adjust to meet our expectations. No Rangers fan I know would sit there and think to themselves ah we're not very good just now, 7th will do though cause we can't do any better. No chance.

I would agree if it were just the standard of football mate, our board have invested next to fuck all. We continued most of the summer to shop in the bargain basement Isles. The reality of where we are as a club at this specific time has sunk in. Without serious investment thus journey back to the top will take even longer. We were promised as fans we would be highly competitive ... That hasn't been the case, I believe we need to be highly competitive in all fronts not just when we're in the park.

I will never lower my expectations of the club and team. If the fans settle their expectations to mediocracy, then we will achieve mediocracy. We have to keep our expectations of greatness at the forefront for the board and team to see. Agree we will really struggle without investment and the bargain basement signings haven't paid off, but it's up to the fans to make sure the board knows that this isn't good enough. Strive for greatness and greatness will be achieved. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Jela 20,360 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I've said it before, expectations start from the top. If we had decent funding i'd expect to be challenging for the league but rushed, largely free signings don't fill me with confidence. Always hate reading these super staunch 'we are Rangers, its first or nothing' posts as if this is the Rangers of old and the last 4 years never happened. Realism is kicking in for a lot of people, the rest seem to be in denial. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKirk 25,606 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 How many of this current squad would get into Walters or ally's squad pre admin? For me maybe Wallace and Miller so IMO it's unrealistic to expect the same standards from this team. That's the level we need to get back to so we need investment Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can't expect to beat Thistle next week then it's time for a new manager. I expect to win though and I'll show Warburton a little patience for now. He needs to pick his best 11 next week and stick with it till semi. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

globalskana 10 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I am sure many did adjust their expectations at the start of the season, I was one of the more realistic ones. However I never for one moment thought we'd be heading into October in the bottom half of the table with potentially half the points of Septic. This is fucking atrocious and so far from what we should be capable of even given the circumstances. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
