No chance it's going ahead.

Lawrence poor.
-
The lack of attacking threat is a massive worry.
-
What the fuck?
-
Total dud of a game.
-
Well done, good win. Great to see some players coming back.
-
McInnes is a very good manager.
-
Not going to pick faults. We went toe to toe with a very decent side and could easily have won. Give Clement a summer window, his own pre-season, and let him replace players like Dessers with more quality. We could achieve something special.

Everything he does is pure shite though…
A player who's not good enough for us can still show up in flashes. I'm sure Herrera, Barker, and Rossiter had their moments.

Fair play, that was excellent by Wright.

Wright has been fine.
Honesty too many on here are blinded by hatred and can't judge players performances without being biased.
This comes up every time. Nobody hates him and we'd all like to see him do well, but he's a winger who basically never creates anything (look at his assists record). He also makes mistakes that I wouldn't expect from a player at Hearts or Kilmarnock, let alone Rangers.

Can’t believe how long he has lasted at the club when you see shite players like Cifu and Lammers getting fucked out quickly when the gaffer seen them
You need to find someone willing to sign them.

If we do something special this season, it's going to be genuinely incredible to look back and think "we did that with Dessers as our only fit striker for a pretty decent length of time".

When you look at the gulf in finances between us, we really have no right to punch as hard in Europe as we have in recent years, think I read that Benfica have brought in over a billion euros in transfer fees in recent times.
Enjoying this tremendously.
We've got to be one of the biggest overperformers in Europe, relative to budget, in recent years.

That's an appalling pass by Wright. Takes a promising attack and puts us on the back foot because he can't complete a simple pass.

Cracking cross from JS.

Their keeper is dodgy as fuck. We need to be pinging shots and asking the question.
Sticking a fiver on Diomande to score.

He's not any better than Dessers.
Yes he is.

Roofe's got to be one of our best paid players. Excited to see who we bring in this summer when that salary's freed up (and hopefully Lammers + Dessers off the wage bill too).
-
Know it's some way off still but I'm really looking forward to seeing Danilo up + running under Clement next season.

You can't base it on saying if we qualify for the CL for x amount of years as there is no guarantee of that.
It's pointless discussing that part.
Why not? There are a lot of variables, what's wrong with saying 'if X happens, I hope we do Y'. It's like saying '"if we win the league this season, we should buy Shankland" or "if Sima's back early we should try this formation". There's no guarantee of any of it but we're discussing possible outcomes.
Edit: definitely not trying to open up the Shankland conversation again. Just an example. -

We have been running on soft loans and losses for a while now and the Europa final run helped not make that as bad as it would have been. Our wage outlay is massive and that needs addressed.
We absolutely won't be chucking 10 odd million at players like the clubs you mentioned do and rightly so. We need to box clever and play the market right.
You can't say buy for 8 and sell for 16 because that's just fantasy stuff and very rarely does it happen. It's not football manager. We buy high potential at the lowest price like Bassey, Diomande and such. If they go for big money that's a bonus down the line.
What we can't be doing is buying the Kents for 7 million and losing for nothing. That's the kind of nonsense that's got our squad in the mess it was in before a proper manager has managed to squeeze every ounce of effort and talent out of it.
Okay, but you keep ignoring that I've said we should only increase our ceiling for transfers if we've qualified for the CL 2-3 seasons in a row, and started to see the fruits of the player trading model. In other words, if our financial situation changes substantively, I'm hopeful our ambitions develop too.
Buying for £8M and selling for £16M is obviously an extreme example, but - for the £7M loss we took on Kent - we've lost a hell of a lot more buying multiple, net-loss duds for £1-3M. I also wouldn't expect the current administration to manage something like Kent's contract in such an idiotic way.
I don't think it's unrealistic to suggest that 2-3 years of consist success under Clement (and the associated income) would/should open the door to us pushing the boat out on a £10-11M player.
