teddybears1872 129 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I would hope 100 million would guarantee we could challenge the best out there, But using it to sign injury prone players and young prospects will get us nowhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you spent 100 million and didnt win this league then someone made a huge mistake in giving you the job in the first place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but it's still entirely possible to not win the league with £100 million though albeit you would expect too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not arguing it. Though thinking about it ,after Weirs comments ,I do not think I would trust him with 100 million for transfers. He lacks confidence in my opinion.

He knows it wouldn't take anywhere close to that probably closer to £10 million to close the gap. Regardless of how people feel about Warburton but he is the manager just now and tbf he is most likely to be the best we are going to get so he must be backed imo.

If you know that for a fact then have a word and tell him that comments like 100 million guarantees nothing does not sit well with the support.

jackrfc95 4,255 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 100 million was just an example, he could of said 10 billion and his point would still be valid. I'll say it again people are taking it far too literally. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Atheist 178 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Walter Smith cleaned up Paul Le Guens mess with £18m and took Rangers to the UEFA Cup final in the process and won 3 in a row. The manager now will require a similar amount in the summer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

delamonty 992 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Pretty simple though.... without investment, we will not get #55. And a manager that can spend wisely. (tu) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about the patience though, remember that when the mhanks hump us again and get 10 in a row. Any fucker at Ibrox that doesn't think stopping them getting 10 in a row is the be all and end all, needs toed in the baws and sent packing.

Blue Avenger 22,567 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 4 hours ago, jackrfc95 said: People are taking the 100 million comment way too literally. Nowhere in that article did Weir say '100 million wouldn't win us the league'. Firstly he is an absolute trumpet for even mentioning £100 mil and secondly to say that £100 mil wouldn't guarantee winning this shitey league, makes him look an even bigger trumpet, far less coming out with all that party line pish. He has put his cards on the table, making him look a fool and a loser and we are expected to settle for second best. He must think we are as gullible as both he and Warburton look. They are both now damaged goods and utterly clueless and we can now look forward to a second half of the season of mediocrity and further disappointment.
