I am giving him a few seasons to steady the ship and win some silverware. Our only real opponents dwarf us financially at the moment and can splash cash when they please against us. Anybody who starts moaning like fuck if we don't win the league in the first year is not being realistic imo. Every tim i have spoken to says as soon as we lose a few matches the Rangers support will turn on Gerrard like they always do....i dont want these cunts proved right. I couldn't give a fuck about publicity and money that he'll bring. I really couldn't, the only thing that I care about him bringing is the ability to win trophies. So, what you're saying here is, you'll accept another two trophyless seasons at least because we've got Gerrard as manager? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A stronger 2nd (closing points gap) and a cup (unless put out by scum) the 2nd season. The league, 3rd season. All minimum. .. and you? - are prepared to give him that time? Astounding. Good man! I hope he wins every game and if he fails in the league folk will howling for his removal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geneva_ger 9,331 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 There will be huge progress and he will identify the weaklings in his team. I'd hope for the league and a trophy. The guy has an obviously greater pedigree than any of the last 4 to 6 managers (or interims) and he will have so much more energy to progress than they had. I feel very positive about this season.

Have said previously that I was probably more opposed than most to this appointment but will likely afford him more time than most others. There is a chasm between both clubs, I really think many are underestimating the job SG faces. StaunchLondonGer, Blue Rino and gmcf 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are quite a bit behind them as proved this season. If Dave throws a shit ton of cash at us, then my expectations would rise, however if we only minimally add to the squad then it's unlikely that we would be able to beat them over the course of the season. It's nice rhetoric the whole " We are Rangers, we only accept winning" mantra. With Rangers teams of old, I am fully behind that. We are not currently anywhere near to a Rangers team of old. We were lucky to get third in the league tbh. So realistically, if we close the gap on them and run them close, while still losing the league, then it's definitely progress on what we have been served up the last 6 years.

CoopsLaud 4,184 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 It would be great to watch a game and be able to say ' what brilliant play that was from us, fantastic movement, passing and goal.' Bring in real quality and have the team playing the best football in 10 years. With this achieved I would accept one of the scottish cups first along with a strong euro run to at least semis. Comfortable second in league challenging in every scum game with a win or 2 in old firm and leaving the rest of the dross in our wake. The 55 the season after and another good euro run. Make a fortress out of Ibrox again so no team entering the field thinks they are coming for an easy ride. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel very positive about this season. mate, I'd love you to be right but that honestly feels like blind optimism. towards the end of last season I was struggling to see where we'd improved since McCoist left, so to expect a rapid turnaround without big bucks investment is heart ruling head.

And no Cathy i am not saying that, you are making a statement that i am saying something which i have not said. I never said 2 trophyless seasons, i said anyone moaning if we don't win the league this coming season needs to be realistic. I think the tims might be right, if Gerrard doesn't come in and win the league and cups first time some fans will be wanting him hounded from Ibrox and we start all over...again....as a laughing stock of scottish football fs.

35 Yard Dangerman 3,475 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 League - Run them close this year and with a bit of luck possibly just nick it. If not that then we 100% need to win it the following year. Cups - Couldn't give two fucks about them until a league title is won. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-AM-ONE 9 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 First season - Solidify 2nd place - qualify for main stage Europa - any domestic title and at least any combo of 2 wins/draws against them Second Season - qualify for main stage Europe (depending on our finish on previous season) - Win the league and throw in the any other 2 domestic titles. Third Season - Solidify our 1st place finish from last season - try and push for European football after xmas and another domestic title on top of the league. Gonna be hard but not impossible, Gerrard and Allen have their work cut out for them whilst King still hovers about though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
