The Bigger Picture. How The Fuck Do We Stop This Rot ?

[tannerall 25,935]

This season's done. 

We might win a few, draw  or lose a few of the remainder. 

Doesn't matter, many of our players now know they are not good enough. I expect every one of those who now know tthey are not good enough to be punted.

5 or 6, maybe even a few more we'll keep. (Fod, Tav, Wallace, McKay, Miller and the few youngsters who have been given a chance, Beerman, Bates.

 

But where do we go from here in the bigger picture ?

Less than two months till a new season starts, the board appears directionless, we still have Ashley holding out for all he can get on the cheap from his investnent. 

There's no way we'll survive a s the major force in Scottish football if the tims are alowed to carry on at will with us floundering without serious investment or innovation. And you can forget Aberdeen, Hibs and Hearts, wee diddy teams in a wee diddy league, which none of them can even dream of winning. 

So the bigger picture, are we still a recognisable brand with sufficient stature and potential to invest in ?

I believe yes, but if no bugger comes along and tries to sort us out we're just gonna be another poor Scottish team without ambition. 

Cellic outclassed us totally today, that's scary enough, but I guarantee they'll be investing yet more 10s of millions in the close season to keep us in our place and achieve their European group league money earning rank again. 

How the fuck are we going to stop this rot ?

we bring better players in!

 

[ger4life_1872 29,516]

Money , it's the only answer 

[graeme_4 34,527]

Money. That's it. 

We can pull out a 'one off' result, but we'll never win that league without bringing in good enough players to win consistently.

Dave digs into his pocket and gives Pedro 15 million.

[sausagetrunks 6,022]

unless pedro can get a loan of 6-7 top class players then we're fucked because we've no money. 

[BlueBearz1990 570]

Money. That's simply what we need.

[Turnberry18 3,204]

We need investment, and unless there is major investment in this team then we are going to be like this for a few years yet.

yip, its how it works. 

[KWBear 1,640]

Buy good players and get a manager who hasn't been dossing in 5th place in Qatar for starters. 

We are on the road to nowhere. So much is wrong with us right now.

[Billythebear77 10,386]

Realistically we need 10-15 million on transfer fees alone spent on 4-5 players to get anywhere near the bheasts.....I know it's not going to happen with King and Co in charge....

[Ryju84 3,170]

We put the brick on the accelerator...

 

 

[ritchieshearercaldow 22,137]

We won't get investment, we are destined to be second or third for the foreseeable future.

[sassaaaa 11,406]

Even with money the manager has got to make the right signings , the last two made disastrious signings time after time. Most of these gutless bastards are on long contracts so they are going nowhere because nobody is stupid enough to waste cash on them. Pedro should never be anywhere near Ibrox but he is now and starting off with this dross he doesnt stand a chance.

[KingKirk 25,647]

better players simple. We were outplayed today but that said we gave them both goals ( if you believe the 2nd was a pen) then you need to say wes cost us twice

they hardly created a chance of there own

[cameron1873 511]

We are desperately in need of a strong core.

Cb, 2 midfielders and a striker

Don't get the feeling they'll be enough offered.

Yeah I don't think it's there but it's only solution 

[Prso's headband 35,459]

He needs £4 million and to sell Halliday, Holt, Tav, Wallace, Waghorn and Mckay for a further few and revamp that team. 

[TMB 14,167]

We need the board to find money that can be invested in the playing squad.  We then need a manger who is capable of finding talented players at a price we can afford.  The manager then needs to get the best from those players and challenge Celtic.

We'll only stop Celtic's dominance by winning the league.  We then get access to the Chamipons League pot while simultaneously denying them that big European cash.

[theweeman 70]

Money and smart investment of what we do get. 

[james_85 656]

How about we stop playing 3 small shite bags that can't tackle and expect them to compete against an opposition that plays either 4 or 5 and we get over ran game after game. My concern is this is the 3rd manager to continue to play like this. I don't know if it's is because that's the only players we have that Pedro is persiting worh it but it cant continue. Also Miller runs about and tries but him not sticking to the one position fucks the balance of the team. 

[Banshee 10]

All the staunch proddies on here to start praying.

It is down to money, plain and simple. Was Scottish football ever a level playing field?  Apart from a few periods it wasn't. It certainly isn't now, but instead of Old Firm domination, it is the tims who are the only horse in the league.  What we lost, they gained ten fold. Without a Billionaire, it will take years to chip away at this.

 Can't afford or attract a top manager. Their isn't a manager worth having, who does not need massive money to spend.
