slimjim1690 4,534 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 As a result of this disaster of a season it is obvious that a clear out is required, so my question is how long would a new manager be allowed in order to build a new team from scratch?, we all know it should have been started 3yrs ago but that's now in the past and we have to look to the future, so what now?.I suppose it all depends on how much investment is going to be coming in but having failed to gain promotion it would seem to me that investment will be significantly lower than if we had gained promotion, and I have a feeling that King has miscalculated just how much will be required in order to keep operating as a major player in Scotland.So a rebuild is required, and just supposing we fail to gain promotion again next season how long do you think the support would give the board to get it right, IMO stability is required but I am genuinely concerned for the club in this critical point in our history.

SomeGaveAll 32 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 how many players contracts are up. how many others can we release and save on wages?The job of rebuilding should have happened 3 years ago and Stubbs Hibs have a year of a start,Important to build a team around some of our squad, problem is most of our signings just are not good enough.Walsh has impressed as has Murdoch, more of this type please rather than old has beens.

Bluenose1986 703 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I'm guessing if we aren't in the SPL this time next season then there will be fucking problems. We've endured so much shite and deserved none of it. People's patience is wearing thin as it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

soulboy 2,518 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 how many players contracts are up. how many others can we release and save on wages?Of the players who started today who's contracts are not up only Bell, Zal, Law, Wallace Murdoch and if reports from a few weeks ago are true that Miller played enough games this season to extend his contract.

We dont need to spend megabucks on wages, some of the (young) guys we have played against all through this season would do us a turn and get us up. We need to get back up as we aren't going to attract any players of the standard required for Rangers if we dont. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 The time we had for rebuilding has been pissed away. We must now win and any manager will be expected to be instantly successful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple as that.[/quoteI understand what you are saying mate, but what if they can't, it's not going to be easy.They have to. I think alot of fans might start to bail if we don't make it soon.They need to find a way of making sure it happens, mate. We need to make sure there is no further downward spiral.

bornabear 6,205 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Surely the Board have seen how shite we've been this season, they're not blind (?).They must have an idea of next season's wage bill and probable signings required.They have been there long enough now and have to tell the fans what their plans are ASAP.I'm sure they are hurting as much as we are at this moment, but we need to know at the soonest.

Moody Blue 9,395 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Anyone will need to hit the ground running and make a fairly big statement early on next season that we're the team to beat. Stubb's team had an excellent second half as the team / club started to work the way he wanted them to. Unfortunately, if someone at our helm is struggling in the first half of the season, the fans will turn on them very quickly. We simply cannot allow any club to steal a march on us next season the way Hearts did during this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardrossan Dave 75 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Well we gave that fucking diddy McCoist three and a half years of grotesque failure.Surely to fuck we can manage a few months for the new guy?Probably not. The Coisty apologists will be out in force after the first defeat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
