rossDas 1,071 Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 In big trouble I reckon.In fact I think we would have been struggling to make the top six.No European football next seasonThe heart and soul of the team gone.And potentially irrepairable damage to the club. What does everyone else reckon? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigy 0 Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I think around mid-table and struggling for a top six place and im not exaggerating.PLG sayed he didn't think the squad needed strengthening in January so our centre backs would be Papac and Svensson.Barry was on his way so Rae would've took his place and Boyd would be on the bench most weeks. It really doesn't bear thinking about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvager 498 Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 1. I agree with you.2. I just wish you had not posted this as PLG split the RM and RFC support deeply. I think we do not need that anymore and need to LOOK FORWARD.3. Its all speculation anyway.Just my thoughts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossDas 1,071 Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 Reason I asked is because media critisism of Walter Smith and David Murrays descision to appoint him have been bugging me." Papering over the cracks " they say. " Bringing back the old guard " they say.Firstly no manager on the planet could wave a magic wand over the squad and do anything but paper over the cracks.Secondly the appoinment of Smith was the smartest move Murrays made in a long time. We can't afford to take chances on these " exciting new managers ", simply because the club can't afford to slide anymore. Bringing back Smith has steadied the boat and will ensure European football and income. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muff 245 Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 We'd have no Barry Ferguson and Kris Boyd and Gavin Rae would be a regular.

Wreckedroy 33 Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I'd like to think we'd still be in Europe, but otherwise I've seen little real change in the standard of football we are playing.We were poor then and we're poor now. The lack of effort in some games recently is on a similar level to PLGs time, which is probably the one thing I never thought I'd see under WS.Our defence is showing signs of knowing what they are doing though!

papaguy51 912 Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I think we'd be in second place, and maybe just maybe with the troublemakers gone we'd be starting to see Le Guen's footballing style start shining through.There was only one trouble maker and that was Paul 'This team needs no strengthening' Le Guen.The rest of the season with no Barry, hardly any Boyd and Papac and Svensson at centre back, with Letizi in goals maybe.NO THANK YOU!
