What if these players aren't what any prospective manager wants ? Let's give him time first . He's had too much time.

All I'm saying is we haven't given him that time , the season hasn't really kicked off yet ffs and , like I said , half his signings have hardly played . Hate to say it , but I think it will take 4/5 games into the season before it may even gel , which is why I'm dismayed that we've not arranged any ' real ' friendlies yet to start setting us up .

"That team last year was always going to get pumped no matter who was in charge" How was that team always going to get pumped....beat off celtic maybe aye even if we'd got narrow defeats away to Aberdeen and Hearts at the tail end of last season i'd say fair enough But we got fucked 5-1 off celtic at home, beat off the sheep at home for the first time in 25 years and struggled to some other pish results The squad of players available to put out against Progres should have beat them comfortably over 2 legs, the manager has to take full blame for that. It's not even just the result, it's the performance, it wasn't a smash and grab off that mob, they should've scored right after half time and it would've been worse! I've also not seen anyone say they will not support the team or the new players, maybe a bit of stick aye but nothing like that, it's the manager who has given us no confidence after 3 months now and if anything we've went backwards with the performances on the park.

Aubie92 1,074 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I voted stay partly because I think Alves and Dorrans are an improvement on what we've got, and some of the others need time. I've mostly voted for him to stay because I don't want to see McInnes trying to weasel his way into Rangers, and that's exactly who the press and some fans will clamour for. If we were able to get someone with any sort of track record of success or experience at the highest levels - even someone like Nigel Pearson - then I'd like to see that happen, but I think if that was going to happen we'd have done so rather than appoint Pedro in the first place.

I never said anything of the sort, when you need to start putting words in people's mouth you don't really have an argument When I say next season I clearly meant 2018/19, you don't think we should be aiming for the title then?

Not suggesting that'll happen under Pedro, by the way. Just interesting that both sides got an embarrassing pumping in years where they swept the board. Seems odd.

It's not - just find it a bit surreal both teams got pumped away like that in years they swept the board. I don't think there was the same reaction to those results as there was last season, but Old Firm games were high scoring affairs during those years too.

But the board have backed a few Managers now and have not got one right, the money being spent is Supporters money. Hopefully, they are right on this appointment but we won't know that till we see all the players bought play he's looked very poor so far it has to be said.
