tannerall 25,935 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 This could be their high point, a decent manager, a decent team with one or two good players, an unbeaten run. no pressure on them. ComeJanuary they should be getting a wee bit complacent, or even worried. And then it's up to the board to show some balls But our lacksadasical attitude stops from now till January. The next leaue games we go out and intimidate every team we play and eventually them. We try and control the tempo, we chase every ball and we let them know we are solid, staunch even. I'll take a draw in the next Tim league game as long as we impose ourselves Here's the crucial part. In January our board spends 5 or 6 million on 3 solid players. Another experienced battle hardened centre back, a proven strong midfielder, and a proven goalscorer. By that time hopefully the Tims will have been hammered a few times in Europe, who knows they might even have lost their unbeaten run by then and failed in the League Cup. Rogers will be under a wee bit pressure by then, failure in Europe groiup stages again and it's starting to go downhill. Do our board have the balls to spend big in January ?

Deanzmeanzheinz 4,312 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Before we spend anything we need to ensure our scouting is on the ball andbthe man in the dugout is able to set out a vision. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

See all these posts about spending money they are utter nonsense. Yes you can argue that they have much better players than us, they have spent more to assemble their squad, they have a higher wage bill. However we are currently 5th and the suggestion we need another 3 players at 2 million a pop to get 2nd which is the least we should be right now. How much money do we need to spend to beat thistle over 90 minutes? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Godfather 71,888 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I'll have whatever drugs he is on. as good as it gets for them? We are miles behind and not one shed of evidence that it's going to turn around any time soon. Same pish gets spouted after every defeat or poor result with this manager.

Ger_onimo 20,488 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I don't really understand any of this post. Why is there no pressure on them now? Why will they be complacent or worried in January? What makes you think we're capable of controlling the tempo and showing we're solid? Why haven't we done it before? Where do you think £6m is coming from? What makes you think it would be spent wisely? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannerall 25,935 Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 Just annoys me so much that Sinclair, Brown and even McGregor were allowed to boss the game today. The manager may have some tactical nous, he may have good team football ideas, he may even bring in technically gifted players, but in this league inTIMidation seems to be the leveller and we need to compete as this is where we lack the most.. Cost to rectify this ? 5-6 million in January on some seasoned proven battlers. Otherwise the board ain't interested in finishing first imo.

We said this last season. Facts are they will be lucky to lose more than 1 game this season. They are too strong in every department. Only Morelos would get near that team and probably the bench. Come January we will be close to 16-20 points below if we can't win 3 games in a row. We have St J, Sheep Hibs Hearts all away to come before the scum at new year. We won't finish 2nd and I have said that since the hearts draw. 3rd at best. Painful but it's where things are. We can beat anyone in a one off game but league form we are woeful Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Godfather 71,888 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Not a hope in hell we are spending 6-8 million in January ffs. the manager fucked any extra money the minutes we got papped out to some fly tippers from Luxenburg. Where is this money coming from? Would you give that amount to a guy who spunked a few million on a fat Mexican who's fitness makes Vuckic look like Ronaldo. Spend it on getting rid of Pedro and brining in someone who actually has a clue about managing a club this size and who can mould together a team that doesn't fold like a pack of cards when we face an important must win game. Giving this clown more money will just see us trying to shift out those players when he inevitably gets sacked which we all know WILL happen.

cushynumber 25,178 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 We are not going to spend that - especially in January. Im hoping the only way for them is down, but honestly, they keep getting to the CL group stages and that £25 Million a year is a huge difference in Scotland. I think the Pedro argument is secondary to the financial one, to be honest. But hey, We can keep changing manager, and give him £6 million a year to change an entire squad every year and see what happens I suppose.
