Are we in crisis?

Not quite as simple as that. We could qualify for the Champions League by winning the Europa (very, very likely but not guaranteed).

Or we could qualify for the Champions League via the qualifiers.

 

I doubt either are a genuine viable option in truth....if we were unable to negotiate our way past Malmo then I doubt we can seriously think that a route through the qualifiers is going to happen.....we live in hope though

I'm as raging as anyone we are here, but it's 3 points ffs the team need our support not this pish. We can talk like this in 2 months if it doesn't go our way, does no-one other than the peados any favours just now.

My assumption was that we kept all those players. 

Any player who doesnt commit to a new deal should be automatically transfer listed to maximise what we can get for them. Fuck losing them to pre contracts or for peanuts in another 6 months. 

Alongside that we need to be absolutely brutal with shipping out deadwood. 

We should be looking at a new scouting network as the current one isnt fit for purpose. 

[ZZed 4,541]

We need a full rebuild of the defense as it is prone to 3 or 4 full on errors a game. Will we win the league, not sure but that is title races for you.

[Barasa 802]

If we gift them the league, out recent exploits in Europe may contribute toward their liability to the abuse victims.

Crisis upon Crisis.

I am surprised we haven't packed our suitcases and just went on holiday.

[285miles 515]

No

were going through a rocky patch in the league which I expect we’ll come out of . Admittedly it may cost us the title but us winning on 2nd and a drawing  at the piggery will be enough imo

 

[Number5 2,283]

I think as a fanbase we can see where the momentum lies.

We're still in this and it's still in our own hands.

They're not good enough to not drop/sneak points over the final games.

However we look likely to be the ones dropping points in the last 5mins whereas they look like the cunts bagging 3pts in injury time.

Borderline Crisis. There is nothing to suggest we're improving, big results followed by some of the most turgid pish we've seen in years.

Between now and the next old firm well know how bad things are or are not.

No it's not. We are behind on goal difference unless you expect us to win 5-0 against them at Ibrox.

That won't be enough.

I'm as critical as anyone on Gio but agree with this.

The scum are more than beatable twice if we take the game to them.

Home crowd need to play their part too, was a fucking cesspit for the majority of the game yesterday.

[kanjo 26,489]

I voted a little.  We aren't showing anywhere near enough up front right now but I think if Gio evolves as a manager then we might start scoring more. 
 

Helander and Jack both back in the team I am comfortable enough we will get there eventually if we start scoring said needed goals. 

[Brubear 2,972]

Ask me again at 2 o'clock on the 3rd of April. We hav3 unfortunately turned this into must win game for us instead of a must win for them as it was 6 weeks ago. 

[Brian Fantana 28,894]

As I say - no crisis - but I'll be fucking raging if we don't win the league just for the fact that we need that money and without it,  they will go on a run for a few titles.

[JackAlex93 12,470]

3 points in it with 2 old firm games left. Not a crisis. A crisis would be us not winning the league.

If they go on a run of consecutive title wins that will be the equivalent of 80-120m 🤮

We need to win this fuckin league 

[Real Ranger 3,211]

Without doubt the team have been struggling lately but I don’t believe we need a rebuild. 
If the current players play at anywhere near the levels we know they can reach, there isn’t a weak area in the team.

There is a rebuild coming this summer. 

We have as it stands Goldson, Balogun Arfield, Davis and McGregor out of contract in the summer. 

Then we have Morelos, Kent, Aribo, Jack and Helander going into last year of thier deals. Unless they resign we have to seriously consider selling as we can't let another Goldson situation occur.

Anyone who has been paying attention for the last 10 years knows this is not a crisis. Beat Dundee and then them and it’s game on for the league. Still in the cup, and exceeding all expectations in Europe- this is not beyond the team that played Dortmund in Germany.

This is the problem but we don't know game to game which team is going to turn up. 

Team that beat dortmund and smashed hearts. That could win 8 games on the bounce to take the league. 

However the side we've been seeing recently in the league that could drop more points. 

[SkylineBlue 25,624]

Not yet. If we don't win the league then probably, aye.

[OrangeRab 3,362]

If we don’t win the league it will make it extremely difficult to compete over the next 5 years.

Our loss run rate is averaging 20million a year. Even with the Patterson sale and the European run we’re probably breaking even this year.

I’d imagine Kent and/or Morelos will leave this Summer. Along with Goldson. Without Champion’s league money and 40 million to them. It would be an enormous task to win the league next year. 

If we win the league things look totally different. celtic have gone all in on their signings and wage bill.

We’ve also had ridiculous bad luck of late. The Winter break debacle, they flooked a few good signings, they’ve had the luck of last minute goals whilst we haven’t. And our January signings haven’t paid off.

If I were to blame the club I’d say not moving for Souttar probably cost us vital points. We don’t concede three to County with him instead of Bassey at CB.

 

[gmcf 35,315]

Some . 

Not sure how anyone can say otherwise tbh .

We're clearly not playing well and give away cheap points , while our rivals have consistently ground out wins that we struggle to match . 

On a positive note , on our day I still think we are the best team in the land , and we are more than capable of winning both c.....c games .

However I'm not sure even that would be enough , as we are just as capable of throwing away stupid points in the other games .

It is hysterical acknowledging all the stuff that’s going on and where we are? Or better to just pretend it’s all ok?

He will still be crying "no surrender" and calling fans "shitebags" when its mathematically impossible....

This place is only ever a bag of cans away from a meltdown.

Is the club in crisis? No.
