    If that's the height of their league ambitions then no wonder I canna be arsed with it. We're also-rans before the players step out of the dressing room for the first game of the season.

    Realistic or not, we've got a loser mentality permeating throughout the club and into the stands.

    And how can we switch from this defeatist mentality to win a cup if a cup win is more realistic to some?

    We'll win nothing again next season just like every other season bar two since 1990...

    I have no time for Wiggy, never have, an off the cuff remark from a member of staff should not mean the club as a whole are happy though, realistically the best we can hope for is Wiggy dipping into his wealth to allow us to compete with the ugly sisters, until that happens it will be difficult......EPL,SPFL, La Liga, Bundelsliga, North East Juniors, even AAFA FFS and you can see a trend where chairman do that wee bit extra.

    SF

    What the club needs is a good signing.
    Not a Curtis Main.
    A (for our level) “marquee signing”.

    I knew someone would come out with something like that. New club, or returning club, the point is the same - there's another club in the league who have a bigger budget than us and they were always going to improve season by season. We needed more ambition and belief to keep them at bay, and to close the gap on a poor Celtic - but we fluffed it. Where we're at now is a direct result of that and we'll be reaping the consequences for years to come.

    I actually can't believe Barry Robson has come out and said "hopefully we'll get third" next season. As has been mentioned on this thread, as a result of our lack of ambition 2/3 years ago, realistically third is where we should be - but that should be our minimum expectation, not an aspiration. It's indicative that the club has no ambition to compete with the OF now - perhaps he's seen the potential signings list and it's as bad as we're all expecting it to be.

    We're really needing about 3 marquee signings (by our level) plus another 3 or 4 quality (by SPL standards) signings. 1 exciting signing isn't going to be enough to turn this shambles around.

    He's just being realistic.
    That is reality.
    That is the realistic target that will be set for the league.
    Of course we'll try and overachieve that target.

    Would you prefer he came out and said we are going to win the league, get out of the Europa League Groups stages this year and reach the champions league group stages next year?
    were also going to challenge in both cup finals, although McInnes will need to get a few million for players as we don;t yet have the strength in depth to target the quadruple.
