908 14 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 40 points - survival. Achieve by Xmas. 60 points - top Six. Achieve by Easter. 80 points - European football. Achieve by end of April. 90 points - the Title. Achieve by end of May? Now, realistically what does Mark Warburton have to achieve in 2016/17 to keep his job? Would 3rd place be enough?? Would 2nd place?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopsleftboot 5,512 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I'd expect second place is the absolute minimum and there's no reason why it won't be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Godfather 72,873 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 There is no glory in runners up in Scotland. Anything below a close run title charge will see pressure on both MW and King. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammer93 15,138 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 40 pts to survive in the premier league???? I take it you haven't been watching the spl lately!!!!! To answer your question, I don't see the tims spending mega so realistically if we don't run them close or win it I will be disappointed.

Scottywellhousetb 50,889 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Tbh I don't think we need a thread on this, we all know or should know what the targets are, we win the league, if that is not your target then we have gotten nowhere since 4 years ago, I go to, and watch on TV when I'm not able to,every game we play in the firm belief that we can and will win, otherwise I'd just piss about shopping centres with my wife every week.

james_85 659 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 The only target that should be given is the title. You don't come and play for Rangers to finish 2nd or 3rd. You think Warburton signed Barton & Niko and said all right lads we are he to push for 2nd or 3rd possibly a wee trip to Scandinavia next year for some Europa league football. They will have been told you are here to win the league and nothing less and we'll get a crack at the champions league next year. I would imagine that would have been a factor for Barton coming here.

EMRFC 4,851 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 1st place. This is a shite league filled with joke clubs and fans. We are not a joke club nor are we joke fans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 We need to win it. Winning it means the potential for Champions League football, more money, and better players. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.A.I 36,183 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 To win every single game we play and by extension win the treble. I'm not saying failing to win every game and the treble will be a bad season or a failure - it's just what we need to aim for at a club like ours. My expectations generally go up and down as the season progresses but I expect to win the league - Celtic are fucking shite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGOH 2,344 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 After seeing the way the cunts from the east have started their season and they way we have recruited, the title has to be the expectation. If your aiming not to win every competition you enter at Rangers, wits the point? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prso's headband 35,957 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I actually expect us to win the league, well every game but it's hard to remember a season in the top flight unbeaten so defeats will come. Being a Rangers fan it's the treble isn't it? Failing that it's the double, failing that it's the league on it's own. Worthless season if we win a cup or two but not the league IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo 32,733 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 You look at it at the end of the season and decide if he's achieved enough. There's too many variables to say now. Regardless, second place is an absolute minimum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CottonRunt 978 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I'm a bit worried about how high the expectations are this year. Tin hat firmly on I think if we ran the mhankys close and won a cup it would be a good season. What I worry about is some losing the plot if we fail to beat celtic or win the league in our first season back. I think Warburton is defo the right guy for the job and he should be given a few seasons in the top flight to get it right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with a lot of what you have said mate but don't think he will be given a few years. One maybe two, especially if we were to struggle in those couple of years. Hopefully we romp it next season though, fingers crossed ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
