We don't have the kind of money to buy players of the calibre you guys would like. We never have had.
Look at the squad in the Fergie era. It was mostly signings from St Mirren etc. He just could pick a player that no one outside Scotland ever heard of and make a team that could beat anyone in Europe. It wasn't marquee signings by any means. The older ones on here will surely remember that.
We don't do badly at all considering our situation. Last four years every club in Scotland (bar one) would change places with us in a heartbeat. We were who they all aspired to beat cause they were afraid of Septic. Why the fyuck are you moaning?
Every player we sign there is a storm of "he's utter shyte" and "not the required standard". Well if that's true please explain how we keep finishing where we do in the league.
Don't get me wrong we could be better. But truthfully I know, you know, DM knows, my fyucking cat knows, we are going one round in Europe this year no matter how many players we sign. So given that, why would we rush out and sign bad players when we can wait and maybe get better ones, and if not still get equally bad ones. Don't know about you but outside the multi million bracket, I haven't seen any signings where I went "Oh my God, how did we miss him?" So I think the time for panic isn't here yet. I admit to some anxiety and impatience but I can't effect it so what's the point in getting upset half way through a 3 month window.
