OFFICIAL: Gio Appointed Manager

[Real Ranger 3,195]

Watched heart and hand podcast and they did an interview with a Feyenoord fan.

He said Gio got of to a great start but the football wasn’t great to watch, it became boring and predictable and in the end the fans were happy he left. 
Just hope he’s learned from his experience.

I haven't read the entire thread, so this might have been said before. Welcome back Gio. Good luck and I'm sure we'll fly under you. One one bit of advice is that we have a great system, through every level of the club, ingrained over the last three years.So no need to change it. Just keep it going and we'll be fine.

He probably won't be reading this.

Work has been a cunt the last few days. Only noticed this about 6ish.

Glorious to have a manager actually committed to the cause and one who is one of us too. 

Best I've felt since Walter came back.

Nah did he fuck  clearly seen it on twitter and rushed on here to try and break it without checking

Welcome back Gio! I'm confident that he will freshen things up as things had gone a bit stale. A big name, a respected name at that, but as with any managerial appointment it's a gamble. From what I've read he seems to have right attributes to succeed and he has won trophies as a manager. Ticks the right boxes for me anyway

I'm sure he'll appreciate that mate. I think you may have just stopped him completely destroying the club there.

As long as YOU appreciated Jela. That's all that really matters to me.

Any word on who is coming with Gio other than Roy Makaay? Obviously there is talk about this coach in China but do we know of anyone else joining straight away? 
 

As we have quite a few spaces to fill in the support staff. If Gio isn’t bringing a whole team then I hope Wilson headhunts some quality sports scientists / set piece coach or whatever needs filled as they are almost as vital as Gerrard was in keeping the club at a professional level.

Seen something posted from the Atlantic a few pages back, the ex Holland physio is joining supposedly and somebody else too.

Edit- fuck knows who the Atlantic are  meant Athletic

Not too surprised by this TBH , as we've just watched with Gerrard and at a lesser level , Warburton . Teams just shut up shop with no real ambition , and you're left looking for a bit of magic or luck to create an opening . Without knowing too much about his Feyenoord side , it did look as though they punched above their weight a bit whereas with us , if Gio leads us to the title this season it puts a big dent in the ability of our only realistic challengers for the title to compete . Hopefully , as you say he has learned lessons and would be better placed to recognize what we would require to evolve .

Until tonight and she walks by, hand in hand with another guy, she’s dressed to kill and guess who’s dying.

Analyst and physio have been named so off to a decent start already
