Alves70 393 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Probably for the first time in 6 years we can now go into a season with no off the field stuff hanging over the club. No tax case/Title stripping/Ashely/bad retail deals etc so that's a big plus. If Rosenberg can put them out tomorrow and they have a fire sale of players over the next few weeks we have a great chance to go on and win the league IMHO.

He is only highlighting that in the last four years we have made significant progress. Even then, the progress has mostly been made off the park and in the last year or so. Just coincidental that we can look back at the 2013 Sheffield Wednesday fixture and compare it to where we are at as a team and as an entity now, after Sunday's game. Yes thank you exactly what I was meaning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I agree with your point in general mate, the "half fit" teams bit is not true. Marseille played a European tie a few days after their game against us, and Sheff Wed start their league campaign this weekend as well. So I do think they were performances to be optimistic about.

A lot has changed for the better. What a difference 4 years make. Only thing that remains the same..... our fans were fantastic in Sheffield as expected??? WATP #55 How on earth did that team only lose 1-0!!!! Player wise we are definitely streets ahead this season and there are clear signs we are gelling as a team. Got to be more optimistic.

Leeds_Bear 8,105 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Liverpool beat Munich 3-0 last night, which for me just reminds us all anything can happen in friendlies. Real test is Sunday and onwards - how can our team cope with the pressure and expectation. They didn't cope very well at all in Europe so hope the are better domestically.

danger ranger 922 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 A few injuries to our top players and we will be back with the crap from last year regardless of the Windass headlines last weekend, nobody has done anything at Rangers apart from a disaster of a European qualifier still fresh in our minds.

This anybody with any expectation that we will challenge this year is in for a big fall. We are miles away yet - mainly in the dugout I may add. Tranny lover v Pedro? While he's there it's going to be very difficult. The real investment ( and it really is an investment if you get it right) is to find a top class manager. This place will be in a meltdown by the end of September. I'll say it now (and again in October ) we need a top class manager - so will everyone on here!!!!!

duffy2391 574 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Anything can happen in friendlies, aye. But the least 3 performances to me have shown that we've came a long way from the team we watched last season. We now have a good few players who look as if they'll get stuck in, won't allow themselves to be bullied and can actually create something going forward. I agree we could do with a proven goal scorer but I don't think for a second we'll give away the sloppy goals we gave away last season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both these "half fit" teams (I presume you mean Wolves & Sheffield) are at the same stage of thier season as we are in ours, we all play out first competitive league game on Sat/Sun. It's great that we are on the back pages of papers now because of football (good & bad) & not boardroom antics, however the board still have away to go yet regards infrastructure of tge club but we miles ahead if where we were.
