Expectations

**Ozyhibby** · 24-05-2015 02:00 PM

What are everyone's expectations for next season?
I expect us to win the league and as far as I'm concerned there can be no excuses for failure.
Does anyone think play offs would be acceptable?

**Stranraer** · 24-05-2015 02:01 PM

To win the league. The play offs would be unacceptable in my view given the lack of strong teams in the division.

I will wait to see who is all in this league first.

Whats this based on?

If The Rangers are still in this division, which is not unlikely, then we will struggle to better a rejuvenated and refinanced Hun over the piece. Best chance we have is if The Rangers get promoted although with Motherwell, St Mirren, Falkirk and QotS (although weakened) it is no foregone conclusion. We will certainly have a better shot than we did this time around.

Automatic promotion regardless. We are good enough to beat anyone on or day.

For me it's all about the Rangers v Motherwell tie, If Rangers go up then it's win the League no doubt but if Rangers stay down then it has to be challenge Rangers for the title. Like it or not Rangers have a much bigger budget than us and we should manage our expectations accordingly.

Unless Sevco's still in the league, nothing less than champions will be acceptable next season.

Sharing a league with;

Alloa
Dumbarton
Falkirk
Greenock Morton
Livingston
Motherwell
Queen of the South
Raith Rovers
St Mirren

We really ought to be winning that league at a canter.

The day I start worrying about Motherwell, St Mirren, Falkirk and Queen of the South is the day I pack football in.

Promotion, couldn't care less if it was with a scrappy own goal to win the playoffs in the last minute.

That day might not be far off then.

***GreenLake*** · 24-05-2015 02:23 PM

Bring in a couple of quality improvements to turn Hibs into a lethal team next season. We can win the league even with the huns present.

If Motherwell go down they will have an off-season a bit like ours last season with major questions being asked about the management and playing staff. St Mirren will be better off with A new manager but it will be interesting to see what kind of players they can attract. QOS, Falkirk and Raith, just look at how many points we finished ahead of them. It won't be a walk in the park but assuming we can keep the majority of the squad we should be looking at winning the league.

Exactly, nail-hit-head. Who really cares how we get there, just get back to SPL and we can take it from there.

**Waxy** · 24-05-2015 02:59 PM

Cannot see Rangers beating Motherwell and their fortunate win against us could come back to haunt them next season when they finish behind us again.

If Rangers are in this league then it's foolish to automatically expect them to be as bad as they were this time. With McCall in charge and new, expensive signing, we're looking at second and it's unrealistic to expect first.

If they aren't then we should win it. Motherwell and Saints will be up there but we should have enough.

Rangers will beat Motherwell though. I can just feel it.

Even league reconstruction. A 16 team top flight is a sterling idea and needs looked at. Now.

So just cruise along and hope we do well in the play offs.
Fair enough. Everyone has their own ambitions.

But that's not what he said.

***lord bunberry*** · 24-05-2015 03:12 PM

The aim must be to get promoted next season, it doesn't matter how it happens. I will be disappointed if we aren't putting up a strong challenge to win the league.

I know your joking but I'd rather not. We need to get back up by winning football games.

***Jones28*** · 24-05-2015 03:14 PM

To win the league, by a good stretch as well

Clearly didn't say that but okay.

It wouldn't bother me in the slightest to be honest. It would be someone else's decision and nobody remembers the dodgy decisions that saved Aberdeen from relegation.

This. But I can't see us doing that if The Rangers stay down.

***Steve20*** · 24-05-2015 03:23 PM

If we don't get promotion next season, then changes would have to be made in the management team. Two attempts to get up is more than enough.

***Eyrie*** · 24-05-2015 03:25 PM

All depends on who wins the playoff.

If Sevco Huns stay down, then being realistic I'd expect us to challenge them but finish second before being promoted through the playoffs.

If Motherwell come down, then I expect us to win the second tier. I'd accept promotion via the playoffs but would be disappointed.

And failure to be promoted will be a disaster. This season may have been the perfect storm (low morale, delay in getting Stubbs, need to rebuild the squad and get everyone on the same page whilst facing a prepared Yams and financially doped Sevco) but there will be no excuses next year.

I know, right? As well as wanting the Huns to lose against Well because they deserve a beating, it would also spice things up for term a bit.

**pontius pilate** · 24-05-2015 03:40 PM

Promotion cup double.
We will have the squad to do this and we now have the back room staff in place their can be no excuses for failing to win promotion

***green day*** · 24-05-2015 03:49 PM

I go with stubbsy.

Win the league no matter if its motherwell or the disgusting sectarian racist **** orcs.
