1st of June approaches

[Paulbrian11 432]

A bit of stability would be good.  We simply can’t afford another managerial disaster where we’re looking for a new manager by January.

No they aren't head and shoulders above us when we turn up, which hopefully SG will ensure that we turn up in every game.

They are currently better than us in every department. People need to reign in there expectations. We still have a terrible board and a huge change in playing staff required. The last two games were an absolute abomination, I don’t know how you can expect us to even consider winning the league given our current circumstances. It’s a completely unrealistic expectation of the new manager in his first season.

I expect it as you say, because I was brought up in the traditions of The Rangers being second to none, I will adhere to that belief, you settle for whatever it is you settle for.

Agree totally and wish you luck with that viewpoint on here.

I completely agree. Those are the expectations we were all brought up on but due to our financial plight, complete mismanagement on and off the field we find ourselves in a situation where we have to adjust our expectations. We all can’t wait to get back to being the dominant force but we are currently nowhere near it. Setting expectations to win the league is crazy because it just leads to disappointment in the manager when actually most level headed people will realise that pumping them a few times and getting closer to them is a very fucking good start for his tenure. We can’t simply expect to win the league anymore because we are Rangers, we’ve got so much work to do on and off the field to catch up with them.

Do you know what mate our fans aren’t stupid, I think most people realise we are way off it at the moment. I don’t know how anybody that has watched us week in/week out as well as observing the shite that we have to put up with with our board can expect us to challenge next season. Possibly the season after if we have a good year this year.

Please don’t expect Gerrard to win the league in the coming season. You’re setting yourself up for a fall. Getting closer to them in terms of points and taking points off them is success in his first year in my opinion. 

Rangers Football Club 

Nothing but 1st place is a success, and I don’t care much for the aye but look where we were 5 years ago mob. This will be our 3rd year back in the top division, time to bring the trophy home, no excuses.

Tarriers are pish really, make few good signings in the right places and good management then we’ll be on our way.

I'll give Gerrard my full support and even allow a grace period to let him get settled. 

But if come end of October and there's no signs of improvement, put my name at the top of the crackpot list. 

Jeez thats a short grace period. 

[Courtyard Bear 41,357]

Slow and steady with the signings, hopefully a couple of wins in Europe and don’t blow the league before Christmas. 

 

[Vanoli 4,625]

No idea what to expect. Rightly, just now our attention is on what players were looking to attract and the squad we're trying to build. But even if we exceed expectation in that regard, this is our managers first season coaching a first team. We could blow teams away or be an absolute car crash again, even if we assemble a team worthy of winning the league on paper. 

[writingranger 1,412]

Thinking positive thoughts.

[rangersross 6,530]

Wasn't really in favour of bringing in an inexperienced coach but, now he's here, I'm more than willing to be patient and give him a chance. He literally just has to come in and not get beaten by a team of amateurs from Luxembourg to be an upgrade on his predecessor - so, in that respect, I'm optimistic. 

[Weird_Beard 99]

It's not what Gerrard can do for us, it's what Dave King can do for Gerrard.

We finished 12 points behind them, having lost too them 3 times. Aberdeen were 9 points off them having lost too us 3 times.

I think our complete and utter meltdown after the 3-2 at Ibrox has distorted most people's interpretation of last season. With the right changes and investment in the summer there is absolutely no reason we can't win it this season, that's why so many are unhappy we've gambled on a rookie manager. We were 2 wins away from being joint top in the final round of fixtures, and finished top scorers in the league. If we're going to invest big, which rumours suggest we are, there's no way this season should be another foregone conclusion for them.

My expectation is that many of the crackpots on here will have turned against him by October.

So If we get pumped in every old firm game and so far off point the leagues effectively over, then you’d be a crackpot for calling for him to go? What if he’s another Pedro? 

All your posts (literally every one I see) is you just coming onto threads and calling people pricks or crackpots or whatever rather than making remotely interesting points or a willingness to debate 

the superfan act is tiresome 

Shades of AlBear about you 

[LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510]

I'm still undecided now that the fanfare has died down a bit.

The hope is that he attracts some big signings and challenges for the title but part of me is expecting these "marquee" signings to go the same way Kranjcar etc have done and Gerrard will probably be off before the end of the season once he realises the budget he's been promised won't materialise.

[Hadron Collider 30,780]

We will be better under SG. Can’t help feeling that those cunts at paedodome are waiting to see us play our hand in our signings, then they go and try to better us in that respect. 

[.Williamson. 81,995]

Winning everything including the Europa league.

The league cup I would maybe accept not winning if I had to be pushed to choose one 

[Junior Soprano 22,428]

We will win the league next season.

[eosmhdo 1,879]

A strong 2nd pace and points off them and one cup. Anything else will be classed as utter failure imo.

[TEFTONG 60,070]

Start hard and fast in Europa. Take no prisoners. Win the first 2 league games and then I predict game 3 in the League will be at the tottiedome and we go there and win.

Onwards and upwards to a successful season.

[Muz333 359]

I’ll wait and see if we make some quality signings or not first. Fear it’ll be a lot of kids on loans and signing aged has been a or players that haven’t been reforming recently and hope to get the best out of them again.

A new back four asap please!
