I also disagree when people say he wasn't backed in the transfer market, we've upped the wage bill considerably and he's been given around £2.5m to spend this year alone on transfer fees (granted I believe Garner & O'Halloran fees are staggered) I'd agree we need to be giving him more funds but the club must generate those funds for him, until that happens there isn't really much we can do, what I will say though is the money for Garner and O'Halleran could've been put to fsr better use.

This Aberdeen team is piss poor and not a patch on their teams of past years. Not comparable. Had our right back not been a dozy cunt for the first goal and masquerading as a left winger or centre forward and not being where he should have been - right back, then we may have taken something from today's game. MW seems unable to control his players into being disciplined. I would give him no longer than the taigs game. Shape up or ship out time. It's the same Aberdeen side who have been their main challengers the past few years. Whether you think they are piss poor or not they have been the 2nd best team in the league. If we scored the 1st goal yesterday we would have went on to win that game comfortably. There are fine lines and margins in football and they just aren't going in our favour at the moment. Keep the faith and support the manager and team and give them a chance to sort it out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In football as in life you don't always get the rub of the green but you have to create your own luck as well.Warburton will get to the end of the season and depending on where we finish and any cup runs will determine whether he still has the backing of the fans,if he doesn't get s grip and soon he will be off and rightly so.

loyalfollower 1,543 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 On 25/09/2016 at 3:39 PM, The Dude said: We lost a squad of international players FOUR YEARS AGO. It's utterly irrelevant now. Our wage bill is around 1/3rd of Celtic's yet is bigger than every other club in the country. Somehow we still managed to struggle to a 0-0 draw at home to Ross County, drew at home to Hamilton, lost to Killie and lost again today. If only wage bills played the game though eh? not disagreeing that we've been well below average but this wage bill nonsense is just a flawed argument. Imagine telling a Leicester fan that wage bills win games or a Dundee Utd fan for that matter. Its 11 v 11 and not the players fault or the managers fault that we have a wage bill as it is. Coming to Rangers from england then the players will indeed require a wage rise Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shambles McCoist left is very similar to the shite we're watching now. If McCoist was to blame for his shambles, then Warburton is to blame for this shambles. What's good for McCoist is good for Warburton. If you think the shambles McCoist left behind is anything like what we've got now then I suggest u lay off the bleach. Under ally we had no football what ever. Warburton has tried to install a style of play. McCoist hit it high and long and hope for the best. This team is a work in progress.

I think if we scored first we would have went on to create lots of chances and stuck a few away. All i have said is that he deserves to see out the season and the fans should stay behind him and the players. Hopefully we can turn things around. The run of games coming up in October are massive. Hopefully take maximum points and dump they cunts out the cuo again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.A.I 36,183 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Have we came on leaps and bounds from McCoist, though? this is what I'm actually asking myself now tbh. I realy am torn on if we need a change or not. Warburton is doing some really good things but also making infuriating, avoidable mistakes and not learning from them. It's a bit fucked up IMO. There's no right or wrong mindset for wanting change or wanting him to stay - it doesn't make anyone less of a supporter if they feel they want change. People are entitled to that thought as it's more than resonable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better manager, better tactics, better contacts , better at backroom organisation - everything. A poor start to the season doesn't change that. The question now is whether he is better than the other SPFL managers he is up against. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 The entire premise of this thread shows how desperate folk are. If you have to resort to questioning the loyalty of those who can't see a future under Warburton then does that not make you realise you've lost the argument. "Fans????"
