Essandoh 21,319 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 As quick as possible is the easy answer, it all depends on which manager takes us forward in the summer - should we go up - and how much money is invested into the playing squad, as well as the standard which is brought in.However, with the daft Scottish Cup final European place still being given out then arguably we should be coming close to that even within a season with a decent cup run.

Marky. 6,963 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 That question is far too difficult to answer.We need to look at investment in the squad, scouting, a possible change of management, and many many other things to start to think about getting that far.Couldn't even hazard a guess.

Malvern 11,329 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Yeah I no it's a long way aWay yet but say we go in spl this seasonWhen can we play in Europe nextWe don't need to play in the Europa without some money in as it is a cash drain until the later stages. ICT will find it hard this year and we better not be in that position next year without some form of investment planned to cover it.EDIT: Yes we should have audited accounts for three years unless Dinky and PM fuck that one up too. Don't forget the SFA can ask for an exemption as well should we be good boys and give up say 10 titles previously won or some shit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmcf 34,606 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Depends if we go up this season. I really don't think there's much difference in standard with the vast majority of the spl teams and the top half of this division to be honest. So if we go up this season , with a few new recruits , I see no reason why we can't finish in the top 3 and get a Euro place the season next. Optimistic Loyal .

CaptainDandy 834 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Unfortunately can't see it happening for another 2/3 years minimum and it'll take us even longer to get up to the standard we used to be at, if at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wearethepeople72 1,847 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 The aim should be to get a minimum of second our first season back in the top flight and qualify for Europa League football.

We cannot afford to be finishing behind the likes of Aberdeen and Dundee United.We finished behind Hearts and Hibs in the second tier of scottish football. Qualifying for the group stages of the Europa League is still a fair bit away in my opinion. If we go up though I do expect us to finish in a Europa League qualifying spot but I'm not sure if we would make it through the preliminary rounds Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go up though I do expect us to finish in a Europa League qualifying spot but I'm not sure if we would make it through the preliminary roundsYes, I know we did. The point I'm trying to make is that we cannot afford to be lagging behind diddy clubs like Hearts, Dundee Utd and Aberdeen for years. We have to make sure that this season was a one off and establish ourselves as the second best team in Scotland next season. After that happens and we get back into Europe, we can start closing the gap between ourselves and Celtic which is at the moment quite large.
