All this rage after winning 13 of the last 14 league titles
Their board taking a vice like grip on the SPFL / SFA placing their men in all positions of power
Winning trophy after trophy and banking tens pof millions at the same time
Aye. You can certainly see why they’d be incandescent with rage
That's the talk of an attitude that says, that's plenty. That's our board. We on the other hand, with resources there, want to use them to get better and start rebuilding a reputation in Europe, as a good team.
We haven't replaced Kyogo, now Khun. We are still at least four short of what dugs in the street can see is required. Where would we be if we had brought in players in half of those failrd attempts? About £200m up.
When you win the league, its a clean slate and you go again.. We dont say, oh that's lovely, let's let our pals catch up. That's it. We get no kudos for domestic success. Its expected. Wenwant to combine that with having a better team for Europe, we do that and at home we keep winning.
We are never going to be a contender in the CL. But we can qualify and put up a good show, for us. We have the money to pay for better players. We can attract good players by being able to offer them the CL exposure they need to get to bigger leagues. We make back all that money and some when they move on. Not great, but thats the way it is.
You are now owned by people who should be better than your recent boards. We need to be aware of that. We have the money that ensures we stay ahead, if we use it. Losing out on the CL reduces our financial gap and that makes it easier for you to close that gap.
That's just criminal negligence.
Its all about ambition and giving yourself the best chance. Fine if you dont have money to improve and fail. No excuse when you do and are forced to field players who would be out the door, if we had brought in quality we can afford.
The CL is the goal. Sort that and the league becomes even easier.
