Super Cooper 0 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Apart from the dreaded split infinitive; does anyone hereabouts seriously think it's realistic to expect Rangers to compete with Celtic in our first season back in the SPL? Absolutely mate, with the right man in charge and a proper season of planning and building next year, yes, i believe we can. I think we should be, i certainly hope nothing else is acceptable. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Back to the statement for a fleeting moment since it's no contest in Munich; King says: but the Review actually says: So a question to Mr King: In what way does "a top two finish and the ability to challenge for the title" not equate to competing with Celtic? And a question for Gersneters: Apart from the dreaded split infinitive; does anyone hereabouts seriously think it's realistic to expect Rangers to compete with Celtic in our first season back in the SPL? perfectly possible with the right level of investment. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,283 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 the 134m debt was a debt which never was. The oldco got refused a CVA for whyte not paying over PAYE/NI. I know. Yet, BBC and Co. repeated the 134m "lie" time and again, despite knowing the truth, and it was reported world-wide. It is still being reported in Britain occasionally and outside Britain too. So if McCoist says 70m "loss" he opens a can of worms, the media falls on it and potential investors as well as more simple-minded sports enthusiasts world-wide will get the impression that e throw about with millions like there is no tomorrow, millions we don't have. It makes it look like we did not make a 14m "loss" or 4m "loss" these last one-and-a-half years, but 70m. That is not exactly true ... even though we all agree that quite an amount of the 70m went "missing". As Frankie put it, in some ways these are semantics. Yet, they can be rather damaging semantics, not least at this moment and time. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juancornetto 1 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Lets's not forget that Celtic are not the same team/club that they were when we departed the scene, they've downsized their squad and the quality of player has diminished in no small way. They're butting up against the glass ceiling of Scottish football and it's lack of investment and low profile which makes even overpaid journeymen think twice about coming here. Another season on their own and cruising to the title won't do anything to help that and who knows who'll be in charge by then. Lennon won't hang about for another season of mediocrity and scrutiny. This season was a failure. We can compete with them the first season but it'll take an overhaul of the squad and some innovative thinking in terms of scouting and signings. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
