So going by that, it's very much when, not if.

Great result for my wee country. And we could've and should've beat Italy, who came needing the win.

Not understanding what the issue is here. Give Gio as much help and support as possible. Makes perfect sense to me to bring someone in to update him about the current state of the opposition teams, current nuances around Scottish football etc Gio will be the boss, obviously, but advice to get him up to speed ASAP is a good thing in my world ...

Richard Gough just posted a respectful tribute to him.

Loads of paper stuff when Rodgers left about who he was coming back to them for. How many did he take ...

Is Dave Whelan banned? Ach no, all the lunatics from the covid thread who were 'liking' his communist takeover stuff will be gutted!

You seem a bit worried Declan?

Yer woman Harper was spangled!

Did you see the tarrier get a kicking earlier, McCorry?

Class punches that battered his Champs!

His missus isn't bad looking either ...

I hear ya, but think it's kinda a bit of relief as well, as in Mcinnes. Plus Gio's certainly one of if not the best we can get this quick, all things considered. We don't have time like we would've had in say end of season. Any manager will be a gamble, but Gio has shown in the Netherlands he knows how to win a league, and he's less of a gamble than Gerrard was. As happy as i can be if this happens. Maybe a couple of decent Dutch signings he's aware of, and squad was certainly needing some spark this season.

Fantasy football team name changed from Stevie G Loyal to GVB Loyal. It's happening lads

To you.

Smith was a mad shout anyway. You'd need to have no self respect to go to the cast off job of the guy who just took your job ffs

Leaves a bad taste the way he left, but i'll also remember what he done for us. Club was an absolute basketcase when he came, getting pumped 4 and 5 nil by the taigs, pumped by a Luxembourg pub team, Mcinnes even knocking us back. We were good for eachother. A big draw of playing or managing in the SPL is a move to the EPL. If he does what Moyes or Rodgers has, he's stick on for the Liverpool job. I understand people being pissed off, i am as well, but i'm not naive to modern day football.

No, not with the budget he'll have. It's all relative.

Did he leave a job in the EPL to come then, as per my post not your edit?

Mental that anyone thinks an EPL manager would leave to come manage in SPL.

Seems like Gio is sending plenty of 'come and get me'

Villa have been briefing the press from the off. That figure's being reported elsewhere now as well.

4.5million compensation being reported by BBC then.

With the budget he'll have and who he can buy with it, he'll not be going for any of our players, bar maybe Patterson.
