win that fkn Scottish Cup this season

[Bighouse 429]

For this season, yes.

But we must push those bastards for the league next year.

No more excuses.

[Rfc52 22,265]

TBH I hope we beat them but this isn't his squad. So failure or praise for me will.come around Xmas time when it's his own team.

he can't be judged imo on what he can or can't do with warburtons team

[pcbear 2,814]

Until he gets his own players in all he can do is shuffle the pack and instill hi ideas on the players already here, on our day we are more than capable of a result, remember a few short weeks ago they were going to take 7 or 8 off us, that happened eh!

[WATP-FOREVER 1,584]

Good target. Next season will be interesting though.

Whether we have the correct manager.

Whether we have the correct owners/investors.

Those timmigrant, oirish lowlifes canny be getting no 7.

I won't judge him this season but he knows what's at stake

[FSM 7,831]

He also has to make sure we qualify for Europe, although I realise that winning the cup would also achieve this. St Johnstone aren't that far behind us.

[Sportingintegritymyarse 6,599]

His job just now is to do the best with this squad, potentially none of whom he rates.

His first real job is to begin a squad overhaul in the summer and bring in a decent number of players significantly better than those they replace.

he is still working with warbutons duds and

we wont know how good he will be until he

gets his own men in.

Is this some fancy code?

[EMRFC 208]

We need to stop them doing 9IAR, or even worse 10.

[Billy1984 1,213]

If he wins us the Scottish cup with this squad I'll be delighted but his main task is 55 next season. We can't let them keep winning titles easily. Pc is the boards choice, they need to back their horse with serious investment and show us all he's the man for us.

Yes and his first trophy needs to be this SC

[Terry Hurlock Loyal 851]

I'm buzzing to see what Portuguese diddies he can sign with our sketchy budget next season! I'm not convinced that he will bring in anything significant, so he will be left with shuffling the pack as an earlier poster has said. If he can get that right, and challenge for the league next year then we are making progress.

[MasterD 2,964]

He has a lot more than 1 task.

He has to try and win the cup and finish 2nd in the league. A very big ask but it's still an aim.

He has to find out which of the current lot he can work with and who needs to go. We won't get a full new team so it's important that he finds out quickly which players are which.

He has to find players for next season. He needs to start making moves soon for any player that will be out of contract to get them signed up as early as possible.

Recruitment as a whole needs to start pretty soon so we can get players in early for a pre-season and not be waiting until August still looking for important roles to fill like we did under MW.

A lot of work to get done in quite a short space of time.

He won't be judged properly until he has a transfer window and a bit of time with his own players. However that doesn't mean he shouldn't be criticised if he makes errors.

[gsa 1,054]

It'll take some feat of coaching to turn this team into a team that can win the Scottish cup but the fact Celtic are wildly over rated and over confident make it possible.

At the moment they are the 12th least shit team out of 12 shit teams.

They didn't win a game in Europe, they got beat in qualifiers by teams from Malta or Gibraltar (I can't recall which) and Israel.

Their centre backs are rubbish, their right back is rubbish, their left back can't defend, Scott brown is a wannabe hard man who turns like a ferry...

A bit of nous, aggression and balls and we can beat them.

[WeirFleckNRothen 1,174]

We'll beat them this season.

We won't finish 2nd. Not a chance.

I've never thought we would either, that run of games just before MW left and the couple after gave us no chance, but the team still needs to have an aim. Aim for the best possible and instil a bit of belief and try to close the gap from 3rd to 2nd. If we go into the remaining games thinking that 3rd is ok and we can settle for that we'll get pumped off the sheep twice, taigs and probably hearts and ending up struggling for 4th.

[Prso's headband 4,438]

I hope we do, I'd give anything for it. The main aim is that premier league trophy and Pedro needs to quickly realise what players he believes in, what players will develop elsewhere to our benefit, who he doesn't want and who he's bringing in.

He needs £6 million starting, I doubt he'll get half of it.

[onefootwillie 545]

With the squad we have Mourinho would struggle to get them to win the cup I am afraid

[Sweetheart 1,430]

For now he just needs to get the best out of what he's got and hopefully win something. He'll then need to stock take and shift as many of the squad he deems necessary in the summer transfer window. Hopefully by then he'll have his war chest and can buy the players he wants. .Xmas 2017 would be a good time to give Pedro a fair assessment. I'll take 2nd place and qualifying for our European licence this season. Next season we need to do hell of a lot better.

Qualifying for our European license? What a strange choice of words.

And we're not getting 2nd place, not a chance.
