cushynumber 25,178 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 if we get to the group stages it will be a miracle and while pedro still needs to invest in the squad anyway, doing it on the back of some hopeful European money is not they way to budget for it.

Guest Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I can't stand this talk of "gambling" it's not a gamble it's an investment It's the boards job to invest in the Club, they claim Caixinha was their first choice as manager, £6-8 million is imo the least we need to compete with celtic. If investing in Caixinha is thought of as a gamble then why was he the number one choice? If the board don't want to do their job and invest then why are the fans putting up with them And if the Europa League cash comes in as OP suggests then it would be bonus cash so why would it not be invested. I don't know where I stand yet when it comes to Caixinha, but the board have said he's their man so they need to put their money where there mouth is and stop bullshitting us. We shouldn't be waiting to see if we get the Europa league, they should have a set budget for squad investment and and European money or money from player sales should be seen as a bonus and at least 2/3 of it invested back in the squad Starting a rhetoric of 'Investing lots is a gamble' is just preparing to make excuses for the board when they don't invest Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albertz85 926 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 No way 10 mill plus. Quarter of that possibly. Hate to be negative but unless some big signings can't see us getting past 2nd, 3rd round of qualifying. The fact we will be unseeded and some of the teams mentioned on a post here makes it extremely tricky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAybe the first one as we'll be back in Europe but aye there will be a drop. The early season qualifiers have been bought previously by Premier Sports and I'm guessing the majority would rather attend the game than start a subscription with them.

That's just depressing! :-( in answer to the OP, no i don't think it is worth the gamble as spending a few million will only marginally increase our already slim chances of qualifying! we should focus on building a team to consistently win games in the SPL next year. If we are consistent against the rest of the SPL, the old firm games will take care of themselves! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewhitesettler 2,711 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I seem to remember a certain Craig Whyte hoping we'd make it into the group stages of either UEFA competition, but Super Ally fucked it up for him. I won't say what happened after that, because I get very upset about it. Don't gamble with money we don't have yet! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoodster 162 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 people seem to be focussing on the word gamble from the OP. However you could easily argue that we need to board to find 6-8 million on being competitive in our own league anyway. Whether the board will find it is debatable, but our team needs that type of investment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
