Smile 26,624 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I can't see us winning next season and realistically expect a top three finish as this board will not support the manager or releaseĀ a Budget good enough for him to work with.

Dado'sMulls 2,689 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Voted yes purely because it's ingrained in me as a bear to expect to win. Aye we've had it rotten the past few years, our club is a mess and our playing squad is rank rotten, but it'll take a few more 2nd at best finishes before I throw the towel in before a ball is kicked. No surrender to these boggin tarrier bastardsĀ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieAyrshire 244 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Not a chance in hell am afraid as you say the board will not give the gaffer a buget the whole squad for me needs a clear out but the way the buget is thats never going to happen.This board thinks 2nd is good enough its as simple as thatĀ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Will depend on how much we spend and who we sign this summer. I think if we sign on speculative signings with potential then from recent experience that will not win us the league, so it's now time to buy players how are fulfilled in their potential, which again, relatively recent experience hasĀ showed has the greater likelihood on the team being successful.

Amato 3,039 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Can't see it. If we were to spend 10 to 15m on players then possibly. We just need to beat the rest of the dross in the league consistently then see what we can do against them. However, we will be shopping in the bargain basement once again.

RFCRobertson 11,792 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Hate being a negative cunt but the squad needs heavy work. We do have the ability to beat most if not all teams (bar the taigs) in the spfl but the players just don't have that mentality.Ā If they REALLY applied themselves we would've won vs County, Killie and so on.Ā Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really believe deep down this board will spend 10-15 million on players we have been duped big time with this king prick am telling you and yes am 1 of the mugs who have went out and got another season ticket again Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiviGer 648 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Really can't see it. Hopefully we can get a side together capable of a better challenge than we gave them thisĀ year and possibly win the Scottish or league cup. Then go for 55 the season after.Ā Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ger_onimo 20,488 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 No. No I don't. Then again, I thought our signings last summer, specifically Niko, Barton, Rossiter and Dodoo, would have us challenging this year, so my opinion counts for less than fuck all.

Copland bear 7,966 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Not a hope in hell, we have a manager unproven with a shite squad which has been under invested in and I fully expect the manager to maybe get Ā£5m tops and he needs triple that as the mhanky mob will invest at least Ā£10m so at this moment I don't see a hope in hell of winning the league . Over to you Mr King, let us fans know exactly what the manager is getting before we all renew, or is his budget what usĀ season ticket holders put in again? Ā And they made enough fuss about the last lot? Ā They have invested no more than the minimum while us fans whoĀ they refuse to stick up for pay the billsĀ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gooseman 889 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Yes, of course we can win the title next season.Ā Pedro will have the preseason to get the team playing his way, the dead wood will be stripped back and we'll be hungrier and more aggressive.....

there'sonlyoneamoruso 1,724 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 We will only come close if by some miracle all the free transfers we make are savvy purchases. We really need Ā£Ā£Ā£Ā£ to rebuild the playing squad, but I don't see King releasing the purse strings anytime soon. I also don't trust Stuart Robertson as our football administrator (is that his role?) to oversee decent transfers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
