What do we all think of murrays statement that he has a 7 year vision to get us back to top of Spfl and in Europe?

Is 7 years reasonable or should we expect, or been led to believe, the success would come much sooner?

Personally, I don't see any reason for us not competing for spfl within 2 years, and realistically aiming to win it within 3

Too optimistic?

[TheBluenose1972 1,405]

7 years? Video last week he said 3-5 years.

[Straight-Edge-Loyal 6,681]

Assuming we don't get promotion this year up the next then win the league within two years makes four years the maximum acceptable length of time to be winning the spl

He has a 2022 vision in the financial results

3-5 year is reasonable imo

[wearethepeople1 3,897]

If we get up this season then I would be expecting us to be pushing for a uefa cup spot next season

I think that it reasonable

[Brian Fantana 28,894]

Aberdeen turned themselves around in 2 seasons.

why should we be any different unless their not willing to speculate to accumulate with some of the stashed millions they have?

[TMB 14,167]

Hearts could easily finish 2nd in the top-tier next season. It can be turned around in 1-2 years as long as the club approach it in the correct way on and off the park.

[BF2 winston 123]

if we can scrape up this year I really think that we should be expecting to finish top next season and challenge season 2016/2017 the standard of football in that league is awful, Not as awful as what we have watched but I see us as having turned a corner now

[KingKirk 25,595]

when did he say 7year

[Smile 26,600]

We will be done if it takes that long supporters have left in droves as it is Scottish football is almost dead already.

[siamthedanger 2,847]

We will win the Scottish Premiership next season

[delamonty 992]

Crazy. 7 years? This is Scottish football we're talking about. A wee bit of money... 4-5 players and we win the title within 2 years. As for Europe... Qualify for the CL... possibly get out of the group and I'd be happy. Point is to be competitive enough. No way we're ever going to win it anyway.

[j1mgg 3,766]

I am getting £10m a year won't be getting ploughed into the club if that is his expectations, timescale looks more like it is based only on ST sales.

when did he say 7year

From interim results:

The vision I mentioned earlier is to focus on the next seven years so that by 2022, the Club's 150th anniversary and the 50th anniversary of Barcelona we, Rangers, will be back at the very top.

[cushynumber 25,178]

I think 7 years tells you the level of investment going into the playing squad....

[Guest]

I find it strange how it could take 7 years to compete when King is going to invest £30million? Thats enough to finish 1st or 2nd for the next 7 years.

Unless he isnt putting £30million in

Bingo.

Only the brainwashed would think he was going to invest that sort of money.

It's Dave King ffs.

[OzGers 425]

Sorry lads, I misinterpreted.

He also said:

This means that over the next few years the finance we are putting in place now will provide the infrastructure and personnel at Murray Park to make sure Rangers are competing and winning in Scotland's top flight as well as stepping back into the European arenas again.

Then for the three or four years after that all our efforts will be directed towards making Rangers stronger and European regulars as our 150th year approaches. That year should be one of celebration.

This sounds reasonable.

[brazz1972 397]

I think he said he wants us to be 'comfortably' at that level by then, which I think is reasonable. We'll be back in the top flight either this season or next, and from then it will take a few years to gain competitiveness.

Juventus were relegated only one tier, kept a lot of their top players, and it still took them four years to win Serie A after returning. When you consider we were relegated three tiers, lost pretty much our entire first team and have been victims of what I'll be amazed if it wasn't some kind of corporate embezzlement, I think it's ok to expect us to take a little bit longer.

I would predict it will be two or three seasons back in the top flight before we can start seriously pushing Celtic regularly.

Are you actually comparing winning Serie A to winning the SPL??

They only had to get past AC Milan, Inter, Napoli, Roma, Lazio etc etc.

We only need to beat Celtic. We should be challenging for the title as soon as we go back to the Premiership. Maybe not win it right away bit at the very least giving a good fight.

[Gandhi1872 186]

The whole statement says for the next few years they want to win the SPL and get back into Europe. Then by the time we reach our 150th anniversary in 7 years we are aiming to be European regulars.

[TMB 14,167]

Aberdeen will finish 2nd in the top-tier this season and they're about 5pts behind Celtic right now. We can be every bit as good as Aberdeen next season. In fact, we could probably get away with signing some of their best players. Qualification for Europe in the first season and a realist title challenge wont be too far behind.

Although on the face of it Hearts look impressive winners of the league basically they won it on confidence. They were very fortunate to get the victory at Ibrox early on and they went on a roll from there, confidence is everything in football.

It all fell into place for Hearts, Hibs blew the start and we were always playing catch up whilst we found out the management team we had would not be competent enough to take us forward we spiralled to depths no one forseen. Hearts took full advantage of this and were on the crest of a wave as both these challengers didn't measure up.

At times ourselves and Hibs were the better side against them yet they ground out results and against us especially came out on top.

Hearts came up against el tarrier twice and that luck didnt seem to carry for them and they were firmly put in their place on both occasions which to me totally discredits any claim they have to be some sort of force.

We owe Hearts big time and i expect us to beat them on Sunday, as we move forward next season we will definitely finish above them.
