Waltersgotstyle 297 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Of course I want us to be in Europe but don't want us to be a Hibs/Hearts/Aberdeen etc., falling at early qualification that wouldn't help us much financially,but would rather that we are strong enough to face it.That is why I feel an extra year would help. Nonsense - you only get better by playing better teams. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltersgotstyle 297 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Anything lower than second is completely unacceptable. If he can't finish second then he isn't good enough. Do Aberdeen have a single player they spent a transfer fee on? That's the level we're up against. This. I look at Aberdeens team and there is not one player I would take from their team. Bang average team who cannot seem to get over the first hurdle in Europe. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and we are capable of securing 2nd place even considering our start to the season so far 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 For me: I'd take second place in a heartbeat, but not exactly a success unless if we are double figures behind Celtic. Third would need a bit of mitigation and be a big disappointment but probably not a sacking offence if reasonable progress is seen to be made. Fourth I think is sack-able - unless there is massive mitigation and say a Scottish Cup win. Fifth and lower means a sacking before the end of the season if it's unlikely we can finish higher... We need to be real in that we are in a difficult situation but reality also shows it's not as difficult financially as the other SP teams, bar Celtic. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Cole 0 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Garner is a terrible, bizarre signing. While you may in time be proved right, I don't see how anyone can make such a statement after two months. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltersgotstyle 297 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 While you may in time be proved right, I don't see how anyone can make such a statement after two months. Agreed - although I don't think he fits into our system at the moment. It's worth noting he was a scoring sensation in League 1 in England - which is around the level of the lower half of the SPL. He did however struggle when promoted to the Championship. He may well come good though with a team predominately on the front foot. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree Norris. He's being judged on a few cameo appearances in a team that is not exactly functioning properly. Give him time and games before judging him 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree, it's in the context of signing 11 more expensive players for a higher league and looking worse than last season. Some of them need to hit the ground running... and yer none have made themselves a regular pick - except maybe Clint Hill, due to injuries. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may well come good though with a team predominately on the front foot. With regards to Garner struggling in the Championship, Preston as a team struggled and indeed altered their style of play (to a more negative formation) to try and salvage their place in the league. I hope he comes good but I would have chanced Sheffield Wednesday's arm and gone for Hooper. I got the impression that he was in his 30's but he is only 28 and knows the Scottish League. The Tims would have been beelin to 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
