I know that will cost and it may be unfeasible Yeah exactly. We won’t close the gap in the league or progress in Europe with Barry mckay by far our best attacking threat. He needs to be fighting for a start and occasionally not good enough to be in the starting 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to this season, we had endured such a lengthy period of 💩 in regards to large proportions of the playing squad(s) so I don’t blame folk for having lower standards. It’s all we’ve known for a while! Our timing at finishing 3rd and securing group stage European football (and all the 💵 that’ll bring) is an absolute game changer. That’s before we even consider; 1. Prize money for finishing 3rd. 2. Money from SC run. 3. Money from ST sales (wouldn’t be surprised to see us hit 15,000), 4. Potential further money from the (what appears) likely sale of Hickey (looks like West Ham have officially bid £21.25M for him - which could start a wee bidding war with the other clubs which want him). Add in Budges comments from her very recent interview (regarding now being able to reinvest all money from success on the pitch into the playing squad) and I think we are in for an exciting summer 😍📝👀 Edited May 28, 2022 by MattyK82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougal Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 A friend of mine who has partial ownership of a corporate box at Ibrox. One of the other owners is friendly with both Locke and Neilson. Neilson and McCulloch were both in the box at the Red Bull game. Apparently Neilson's plan is as most people have stated to consolidate third but he wants to make group stages of Europa league a regular occurrence. The idea obviously being to get into a circle of success whereby league performance and European success continue to increase revenue and allow us to pursue better and better players. A cup win here and there is also what they're hoping for too. If we can get into this kind of successful position then that would be great. Hopefully we get it right in this transfer window and if we can get third again and possibly close the gap to 2nd that would be great. Some very decent players are required in this window for sure as our success this season will almost certainly make us a target for the other 9 clubs, so I expect them to all up their game when playing us.

It’s really good to hear that. Nailing down 3rd is so important. I think we are the 3rd biggest side in Scotland by supporter size but all too often have we failed to actually finish there. Really sounds like Neilson is committed for the long hall to this project, and I hope we will see improvement year on year. It’s simply not possible to sustain any challenge if one year we’re 3rd and the next 5th. If we can repeat this season 3 or 4 times we’ll have close to another seasons income in prize money on top which is game changing for us.
