It’s annoying as fuck to think a manager who has won absolutely next to nothing in his career. Was happy as fuck to come second and third to the tramps when we were in the lowers - is good enough for us. His level is Kilmarnock.

JackAlex93 12,491 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Expecting us to get done off Hearts next week from defensive errors. If its Souttar and Davies at centre half we've no chance going to Tynecastle. What a state BlueAvenger and B1872 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CottonRunt 1,026 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Need to really temper our expectations. Fully ready for us to finish closer to third than first, even with some new signings, no champions league, Europa league if we are lucky! Think we need to endure a few more years of real pain before we will be anything like a decent football club again. Oh - and sacking the manager is not the answer.

CoplandRoad83 3,612 Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 You know what, at least we're finally getting rid of a lot of this dead weight. There will undoubtedly be some short term pain here, but if we can get the decisions right on who comes in this could be the proper refresh that's we've needed for ages. Kinda resigned myself to this being a transition season (obviously hope for more), but if (big if based on previous) we can get the right players in and see progress in the right direction, with a healthier age and value fo squad it might get us moving in the direction we need for longer term success and sustainability.

Swagger 8,921 Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Expectations rock bottom but hope long term rising with every player linked with a move away. If we can shift the bulk of this squad then it’s a good start. Seems to be a lot happening today. Happily take a hit for a couple of seasons to turn this around as long as we get it right. Matondo and Dessers gone would be the ultimate result Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenose48 974 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Fuck me, I was reasonably happy with the game against Hertha Berlin not brilliant but four good goals. Then I come on here and read all the negative posts about how our season is finished before a ball is even kicked. C'mon guys lets give them a chance Rome wasn't built in a day and all that. Lets see how we start against Hearts before we slash our wrists. Yes the board has fucked up the stadium rebuild and we are really short of big money men backing us but in Big Phil I trust. We will get the three points at Tynecastle and things will get better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am generally of this opinion too, however I think we fare better with Scottish/British managers and Walter himself recommended McInnes for the role.

Muz333 376 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 My expectations are low. I see this is a rebuild season and unless we get at least three starters signed we probably won’t be too competitive, especially if we suffer injuries.

SkylineBlue 25,668 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 The only thing I'm hoping for on the park is that we can beat them once or twice this season. I dont really have any confidence that we can achieve that, but it feels like it should be possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somemightsay7 3,090 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 We desperately need a centre back, centre mid and winger in in the the next 10 days. A right back too if Tav leaves. Preferably 2 centre backs as all our current ones aren't good enough but I can't see that happening and I'm accepting we won't sign a striker either and we will be relying on the likes of Lawrence staying fit and being our 10 this season. My expectations are a less than exciting centre back, Sima will join towards the end of the window, a centre mid on loan and Tav will stay for one more season.

graeme_4 37,425 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Absolutely none now. We’ve shifted (or are shifting) just about all of our ‘better’ players, and brought in no one or any real worth. We weren’t good enough to win the league last season, and we’ve got rid of the better ones and just left the backups. It’s not a rebuild, it’s just a fire sale of any one of value we can get rid of. Not a fan of Goldson, Borna, Lundstram, Jack, Cantwell, Roofe etc, but their pish understudies are even worse.

Negri's lovechild 15,383 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 My expectations have gotten lower and lower by the day tbh. We've done some good work in getting rid of a lot of higher earners, but we haven't been generating the income required to replace them with quality signings. Wages will hopefully be redistributed with new signings but i can see a few loans / free agent signings. Feels like another transitional season, but one I think has been needed a while. Feels like a massive change is happening this season compared to the past. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would actually be more understanding if the board were open and said we need a transitional season due to poor recruitment and financial management in recent years and will be investing in youth and younger players with potential who we'll give plenty of game time to, but as always they say nothing. We're now going into the weekend where I'm not even sure any new players will start. Maybe Cerny? But he's not kicked a ball for us yet so that's not a guarantee. So as you said, it's just the same squad as last season, minus some of the better players. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a bizarre thing to say. How in the name of fuck was he to pip celtic to the league at Aberdeen? of course he’d be happy to come 2nd. we’ve barely laid a glove on celtic since our return to the spfl and have squandered millions trying to do so.

BlueSuedeSambas 56,358 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 One of the scariest things about the state of our squad is just how many areas need improvement. You think “centre forward has to be a priority” and then you talk about our options out wide and suddenly go “actually another wide player has to be our priority” then you think about the options at centre half and you realise that needs to be a priority and so on it goes across just about the entire squad. Just a wall to wall shitshow and a season you know can effectively be written off before a ball is even kicked because of how underprepared we are. graeme_4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CottonRunt 1,026 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 League and probably both cups over before a ball is kicked. Can't see any signings of note either. We will probably go with Soutar, Davis, Balagun and King as our 4 CBS. Filled with absolute dread, will get turned over at Tyne castle and can't see us getting past Kiev in the qualifiers. Absolutely not good enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
