The main issue isn't Gio, I firmly believe that if Gerrard was still here we would be even further behind.
The issue is the squad was done after 55 and required players to be sold and new ones to be brought in. The board keep telling us we are a playing trading club however we don't trade players. Kent, Aribo, Kamara, Morelos and Patterson are all players that could have been sold in the Summer to bring in new blood into the team. That didn't happen, heard lots of stories why but we basically copied Celtics blueprint from last season where you stand still.
We had chances under Gerrard to put our foot on Celtics throat and failed to do so. Home draws against Motherwell and Hearts helped that.
I honestly don't know where I sit with Gio, needs to be able to bring in his own players to play his own way.
Celtic have spent over 25 million so Fat Ange could get his mediocre team that plays to the managers system whereas we have stood still.
