Carsons Army 4,146 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Outsider here, but put any top ranking European team into their bottom division, ensure they lose most of their playing staff, and play on poor pitches against teams for whom this is a cup final to play against you, and it would be the same. How great would Brazil '70 look against Berwick Rangers on a freezing cold January day on their pitch?I would imagine that having signed SPL players, french under 21 internationals, serial A players and others that they would quickly adapt and the fitness and full time training at the best facilities in the country and being roared on by the biggest support would see vast improvement as the season progressed and see them outplaying plumbers and binmen Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carsons Army 4,146 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 He had the determination to come back when Souness benched him and when he was getting abuse from his own fans shortly after signing - that shows a sharpened competitive edge far removed from his public persona.. He's pretty clearly a lot more than a 'dressing room joker'. That's just an insult to the man and what he's achieved in the game.No it isn't Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expected a culture shock at the beginning and some poor performances. But it's the lack of progression that has worried me the most. We seem to have gone backwards.

Scott-RFC 308 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 It's absolute nonsense to say we've been outplayed in 30 games, maybe over a ten minute period but never a full game 77amurai and gogzy 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carsons Army 4,146 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Just judge him next season.That's all.What makes you think it will be any better? He has already told you it won't be.His choice of signing targets are rather odd too. He will possibly be in charge until around about Christmas and then his replacement will come in before the transfer window opens. That would make good business sense.Great player / poor manager Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
