Help me with the maths here. You’re discounting trophies we won in our golden period to help your argument, so it’s one win in almost 11 years on average.

How long has Milne been running the club? What was the average before he took over? Is the club falling woefully short of the fans ‘realistic’ expectations?

Read the post again, I stated first of all our overall average, including the golden period.

Here’s a quote from McInnes on the club website that you will love mason.

“The rebuild is something we have to do here and we’ll definitely go again.”

I do not doubt that you can look at Milnes tenure as chairman as being pretty poor.
We as a team were woefully poor for a long time.

This thread is about McInnes though and in that time we have been relatively successful when compared with our overall history.

The thread was about McInnes being thicker than Jimmy Calderwood

With two trophies in, what will be, 30 years, I think it's about time we added another. I know that some of the servile masses on here like to defend the club in any given situation but please f@ck off if you think that's a respectable trophy haul for one of Scotland's biggest clubs.

... And unrealistic expectations is what supporters should have, that's what makes the owners speculate and attempt to put a challenge in for silverware.

If all the fans were as subservient to the club as AFCMad1903, I reckon we would be relegated very quickly...

Barring a Leicester style miracle season, the only way winning the league becomes realistic for us is if we can sustain a level of performance over a period of years; law of averages. So we don't necessarily need to compete with Celtic season to season, we just need to sustain a level of performance for a sufficient period of time. i.e. if we are 10/1 to win the league for 10 seasons in a row, there is statistically a realistic chance that we will win the league once in those ten years.

Under McInnes we have been close to achieving the level of league performance required but we have simply lacked that extra bit of quality required to push on at the business end of the season. Our budget relative to Celtic shouldn't be used as an excuse but it is certainly the explanation.
