Nowhere near it Jim. Rangers were a pub team with Warbatton. Of course they thought differently, they were going for 55, big banners, it was all very amusing. but that assessment was spot on. Our team were really good, but they were playing no one. In Europe, apart from a great display against City, we were rank. An example of that, we took Rangers to the cleaners 5.0 then midweek I think we lost 6 or 7 nil to Barca.
This current squad is better, much better. Only O’Neil’s team edge it, but we can surpass them imo. That’s the joy of it all. We have the money, we are going to strengthen in January, the manager will sign a new contract. We have additional money coming in. Still got at least £8m for Frinpong and another £6m from Bernabie. Players will move on too, so we could spend about £20m without touching the stash at all. O know those sums are pocket change to clubs like city, but for ya, it’s a lot.
Now, I don’t think we will even spend anything like that, but we absolutely need a LB a RB a winger and a Striker. We need to push for CL next stage, win the ieague and be ready for the CL qualifying, if we don’t win it this year and qualify automatically :)
The future can be great, but I never trust our board to chop the head off the snake. For some reason they seem to be Hapoy just giving it a kicking. I’m not. All to play for.
