Coplandbear11 1,087 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 If our season objective was to finish second why did the club so actively push the, Going For 55 line. Solely to win over fans and get ST money from new buyers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenosebrad 452 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 There is nothing that MW said that I disagree with, I always want to finish first but it was a big ask to do this season. If we finish 2nd and good cup run and qualify for Europe next season, I would say after being out for so long that not bad achievement. Dont get me wrong im just as pissed off as most but im a bit more realistic than some on here. Next season I want us challenging for the title. If my club lives within its means and we never go back to the dark days that we experienced the last 4 years I take that, even the bheasts had to step back and watch us lift 9 in a row when they were rebuilding. we may need to face some hard realities over the next few seasons.

You just need to look at the threads on here it would have been unacceptable to make that statement at the start of the season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still wouldnt be first - and that was an unrealistic expectation - but we would be in a better position with a happier fan base because we would see progress. I dont see progress - thats the issue. Yup, the 2nd place issue isn't the main issue. Its the lack of progress to make us think we can better this. Been no progress visible for some time now.

On the park is the only place it counts. He's the only one talking from inside Ibrox these days, and if his language is his teams performance he's talking gooblydeegook.

ritchieshearercaldow 22,137 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 King implied that he expected us to win the league every other year, I don't think he foresaw us battling to be second with the sheep, Hertz or SJ, he wants us to be battling with the scum. The Boss has more or less stated that that won't be the case, he's admitted that they will only get stronger while we live in hope of doing a Leicester Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
big blue Fin 3,724 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I didn't expect us to win the league this year but I did expect our players to put in a serious challenge instead of which we've staggered from game to game throwing points and goals away with almost gleeful abandon. This isn't good enough from our team, this isn't good enough from our manager and it's certainly not good enough from our board. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only difference being is Souness could kick a team up the backside if they didn't perform. Souness soon realised the error of his ways & admitted it!

We will see a decline in Season Tickets next season..It's inevitable..Difficult days ahead..Hope the manager and squad care just half as much as the support does and we can go on a winning run showing some pride in the jersey and some fight to earn that 2nd place.. Yes if only we can repeat that unforgettable 3 wins in a row Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies if I've picked that up wrong but I vaguely remember a bit of a furore with some his comments from last year. If that's what Warburton was given as his objective technically he's on course to achieve. Of course that doesn't quite tell the whole story though. Your quite right m8, that is Warburton's target.....for this season, however it's like pulling teeth trying to get there. Its the bosses comments about us building and the scum heading over the horizon, I can accept we are still building but the foundations are shite, we will have to restart again next season because the boss has fucked up big time this one.
