Of course there are 2 chances of us doing that (FAT and NANE) BUT being back where we belong and staying out of relegation and play off places are the minimum we must aim for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd only be 100% sure Dundee United had a bigger budget than us this season, can't be sure about ICT/Falkirk/Pars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony loves the Club as much as anyone and isn't afraid to talk about it . Ross , Tony and GLS are really driving the Club forward . Maybe we can get into the top six , not many would have believed that Ross could get us back up to the Premiership after just one full season. . ETA: We are on our way . .

St.Ricky Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Nothing wrong with Ambition. It's easy to play the safety card. Better to stand up and be counted. Do we as supporters have the balls to risk getting egg on our faces or do we accept things as they have been as the "norm". Fear of failure or Fear of Success. Either can be debilitating. Can anyone guarantee success...of course not. But that's no reason not to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single player and member of staff including the board should be single-mindedly and obsessively focussed on trying to win the Premiership next season. If they are not then they should find another club because quite frankly what is the point of aiming for 6th or simple survival? Whether our chances are high or low is irrelevant. Being afraid to fail is pathetic really. Being afraid of being seen to be ambitious is beneath contempt. People can laugh but Leicester proved that money is not the barrier to success. Attitude is. If we fail, we fail but let's not hide behind excuses before a ball is kicked. Edited April 16, 2018 by oaksoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proudtobeabuddy Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Tony is a legend and i love his positivity. I have a lot of faith in those in charge at the club right now and i'm looking forward to what comes next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. Players and management should be taking every game as it comes, aiming for 3pts in each game. Leicester might not have set themselves the target of the title initially, but what they did was fight for every point and eventually it came to a point where they realised just how well they were doing. Burnley would be a solid example for this season in the EPL. With the right attitude and approach to each game there's no reason we can't have a decent season.

Can you imagine the players if the, then, manager had said at the start of the season we're going to win the league................he'd have "lost" the dressing room right there and then.

David Mc Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 The Tony Fitz Black and White Army is on a roll. The man is a hero. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43784497 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TediousTom Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Tony Fitzpatrick is a credit to our club. At every opportunity he talks the club up. Something all who profess to love the Paisley club should endeavour to do. In contrast look at the Craig Samson and Danny Mullen threads polluting this here forum. Gawn yersel Tony, gawn yersel indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaksoft Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Hugely encouraging to hear our chairman, Fitzy and Jack all talking about an ambitious approach next season rather than attempting to settle for simply surviving. Anything else would be a tedious waste of time and money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
