I don't care if anyone thinks we will be ridiculed, I love having a passionate guy like Tony talking the club up. Same here. Tony was at the Club in a golden era for us when top 4 was definitely doable. Why shouldn't he believe we can do it again? Love Tony's passion and if it freaks out the likes of Stubbs and Neilson then long may it continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bender rodriguez Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Nothing wrong with ambition and aiming high but why spout off about it to the press leaving yourself open to ridicule if you firmly believe you can finish top four keep it in the club and talk about it after its achieved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W6Saint Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 If you don't strive to be the best you possibly can at your passion then you're not really that passionate about it. Absolutely nothing wrong with a bit of ambition - makes a change from the West Coast negativity where only the OF matter. Let's talk up our great club a little, who else is going to do it? People don't like TF saying these things because 'we'll get ridiculed' - what age are you? Sticks 'n' stones and all that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bender rodriguez Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Doesn't bother me w6 I love Tony and the fact he is ambitious it's more for his own sake he has become a joke figure to the press and other teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We survived by the skin of our teeth, we have a complete rebuilding job in the summer and like Livi, Accies and County our aim is survival . These are facts and its got nothing to do with being ridiculed- after all- why the hell do you think the Sun printed it - because its genuine ?

I suspect Tony could be a bit more measured in his comments, e.g. He could say that we are aiming to be top 4, but in the short term we are making progress towards this goal. That work continues next season where we intend to be above and outside the relegation battle by the time the play-offs come along... This way he speaks of our clubs ambition without doing so unrealistically in the short term . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LargsBud Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Ffs he's only trying to talk the club up. There's nothing wrong with that. If we aren't setting our sights high then there's no point turning up. How many season tickets do you think we would sell if our CEO came out and said our aim is to finish 10th for the next 5 years. The man's a saints legend and should be treated as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Ross County will sell more STs by claiming they are going for the title What does being a Legend have to do with it ?

waldorf34 Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 3 hours ago, kevo_smfc said: I love the fact that we have people within the club who set our targets and ambitions high. Whether people think it's 'pie in the sky' or not, there is no point in competing at this level if you don't have ambition to strive to be the best you can. Top 4 may sound ambitious, though this is where the club were at when Tony was playing. People are saying that the crowds and atmosphere in stands are as good as they were back 30+ years ago. Why can't we have a team at least competing top 6? Killie never had a star studded side, though they finished 3rd and their crowds are at their highest in many of years. I believe there are many exciting things going to happen around the club over the next 6-7 years and once we get to where we want to be with that, this should hopefully strengthen us on the park and get us back competing at the right end of the table. If Killie can do it so can we !believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Absoulte nonsense. Nothing wrong with ambition. Lots wrong with saying its where we SHOULD be though when it's clearly untrue. In a cheif exec role, coming away with this is potentially harmful to recruitment. Can imagine targets like: Top 4 club you say? You'll be offering out wages to match likes of Hearts or Hibs then.
