Sure he won a couple of titles in Australia & 1 in Japan over a 3 year spell...Pedro was something like 2/3 titles in Mexico before us and a few cups Both only had real success in their own countries, both in their 50s & never even managed in European football. The fact its worked out well for Ange so far doesn't take away from the fact he was a ridiculous appointment

They spent less than what they sold They brought in a complete unknown manager, their equivalent of Caixinha, who has brought in unknown foreign players for cheap & paired them with a few average loan signings Without even thinking about our January window, any semi competent manager should have had us winning the title this season, especially given the position we were in when Gio arrived & our squad If he doesn't win the title I'll be absolutely stunned if he's here next season.

Posting those stats from 2 wins & 2 draws pretty much sums up the issues we're having Dundee United & Mothwell especially the shots we had weren't even chances, we actually lost the 2nd half vs Motherwell 2-0 btw but that wouldn't fit the narrative of everything is fine & we've just been unlucky would it? We've been going backwards at an alarming rate under GVB, Wednesday & today we got lucky to come out with 6 points, don't think either keeper had a save to make & the players look clueless

We were 1-0 against Hearts after a shocking 1st half, start of the 2nd they missed 2 really good chances (that other's have been taking recently) then they fell apart We have alot of possession, alot of passes around the box but we create fuck all, can't remember Lewis actually making a save today, seems to be a theme under GVB Before the winter break I thought we were playing good stuff, since then we've been piss poor whatever way you look at it

Completey agree, you get games like Livi over the course of the season, can't expect good performances every game but you hope you get the result We haven't had a 'good' performance (domestically) since the winter break, even the 5-0 against Hearts flattered us, they had chances a 1-0 before they fell apart! We needed a good performance, today was the time to do it, at home against a piss poor team & with the fans on side...instead we put in that showing More questions than answers today definitely

The same Aberdeen who are sitting in 10th, have been piss poor all season and are going to struggle to make top 6? Tarriers dominated them, didn't score but had chance after chance, we barely troubled Lewis & fluked a goal...big difference! Delighted with the 3 points but if you don't think that goal saved the whole stadium/fan base turning on Gio then you're more in denial than I expected

UB's are the only ones who deserve any sort of credit from today Up against a piss poor Aberdeen side, we should've been looking to put 3/4 past them and bring some confidence back Instead there's still massive questions around Gio and the squad going into next weekend (forget Belgrade, the players themselves will turn up for that) & the fans today were as close to turning on Gio as I've seen since the Warburton days That Roofe goal may have saved his job, especially after the shit this week

Horrific performance, terrible attitude from the players and some crazy decisions from Gio Fluked a win though so continues on to next week

Does the bib come in fat bastard?

Don't need enemies when our own fans are moaning on twitter about what's being sung Nothing wrong with anything last night

2nd half was about 'surviving' the game according to Gio No wonder we are playing the way we are if he's installing that mentality into them

Would rather we called out things that are going wrong when we're winning rather than wait until we drop points for the ball to finally drop Our performances recently have been shocking, we scrapped a win tonight and aye I'm happy with 3 points but fuck me a half decent team at least gets a draw tonight

Any other team in the league gives us a game, they played like a team sitting towards the bottom of the table and struggling for form Tonight should've been a 3-0 confidence booster before the sheep on Saturday, instead we left with more questions than answers Some really confusing decisions/perfomances & the manager seems completely lost.

All it would've took was a lucky bounce like Motherwell/Ross County If you're happy with tonight then hell mend ye, that was fucking shocking & Gio's inability to even give us a lift with a change or 2 sums up how clueless he is at the moment

Absolutely zero faith in him, tonight hammered that home No subs in 90 minutes, no identity, team basically just going through the motions Could've easily drawn/lost that tonight, luckily St Johnstone were worse than us, nothing to do with our tactics/team

Shocking performance again tonight, Gio absolutely clueless Players going through the motions, lucky we were up against a piss poor team

The board have slowly but surely been making an arse of things over the last few months, baffling decisions that show they are completely out of touch with the fanbase, this tops it. They must've known there would be a backlash & to release it today after all the shit with them yesterday is disrespectful and a fucking joke. Feeling right now is I think they'll backtrack, there is 8 months to go before the fixture & if any protests come they'll change their mind. Also if the tarriers win the league I can't see any world where we go to Australia for essentially an Ange title party. Surprising thing is I didn't think GVB, when we hired him, would be a mouthpiece for the board, his 'comments' (if they are really his) are poor from a guy who we all thought understood the club.

Always knew his aim was Wales, course it was but thought he mightve wanted some game time beforehand Now it just looks like we are a convenient training ground for him in the UK & it suited him getting out of Juve. If he gets a few minutes (Annan for example) then he's more than happy

Ramsey thing is beyond a joke now, complete and utter waste of time, be aswell just cutting our losses and giving Lowry the game time

Shit like this is the reason the English game is as bad as it is (fan wise). They don't have 'rivalries' anymore, the games are tame at best They dilute the fixture & basically sell it abroad for money to drum up some interest and money, tarrier board will be happy it's down under for Ange & we'll likely be happy as it's money in the bank. Short term thinking for no longer term benefits

Personally I think we'd be in a better place with replacements in for Balogun, Helander & Roofe...Jack seems to still have more to offer but the rest have had enough chances to get fit and can't do it The issue is you're not going to sell those 3 and break even (sure we spent nearly 6/7 million on Helander & Roofe), we'd be taking a loss on them & that leaves us less to spend on replacements

Realistically I think we're looking at a minimum of 7/8 first team players gone in the summer, guesses would be Mcgregor, Barisic, Goldson, Davis, Kamara, Aribo, Kent & Morelos The last 4 are the only ones in the squad worth decent money currently & all could get decent moves, they're not hanging on here for their current salary or for another shot at the Europa The rest we'll be lucky to get back what we spent on them or they're worth more to us than someone else

Players got the blame yesterday, crowd turned very quickly on them about 75/80 minutes & rightly so however at any club the buck stops with the manager, especially if he's inherited a team which won the league at a canter last year. If they win the league this season we'll have a massive clear out of coaches, management, players & I suspect Ross Wilson

Stuff like that is just an excuse & a pretty lousy one at that Could our recruitment have been much better, course it could/should be. The most recent signings of Diallo/Ramsey are turning out to be as bad as anything we've signed in recent times, a complete waste of time and effort. End of the day though, we have more than enough in our squad to be hammering every team in this league apart from the tarriers, the fact we aren't has to be put onto the management team

Being honest my confidence went at the tarrier game, could accept the Aberdeen result just after the break & even the County game, alarming but fair enough The result against them, the way he set us up especially should've been a massive red flag. He deserves praise for Dortmund of course & I think he's had it & more. End of the day he'll be measured on the league & it might only be 3 points but we're in such a bad run of form you don't see us winning it unless their form follows ours and takes a dive St Johnstone away & Aberdeen at home before a 2 week break in league fixtures. If we don't win both of them he's in serious danger of going I think
