That’s a lie

It's not. They lost their opening game and we had a lead for half the season then after Christmas the squad and management had a complete collapse. 

They have went through an entire squad rebuild. Half the squad never experienced Scottish football before and several European football having come from Japan. 

A manager coming in who's also got no European experience or connection with Scotland. 

When did we have a better chance recently? 

[The Godfather 75,664]

Be an absolute embarrassment not to win it this year not towntion we probably won't get near it again due to the fire sale we will have to go through handing them 30 million to boot. 

It's cool but we can to Australia and join the title party for them in a few month.

How is it all on Gio then considering, they’ve dropped points in two games since he’s been here? They’re on a ridiculous run of form.

We never had a complete collapse either, we’ve been the exact same for the vast majority of the season.

Last season was the easiest run ever, 09/10 too, plenty in the 90s.

When they didn't spend around 30m to our 2.

They had to spend to rebuild. We spent a fortune on 2 loans who cant get a game. Ones constantly crocked and the other not good enough.

We have made a cunt of the season and its every bit as poor as theirs was last season.

Said this before but they are buying on a net pay. Eduoard, Ajer and Frimpong have funded it.

Something we should have done ages ago.

We kept our assets and will have to take a hit on them in the summer. 

We will require an equally miraculous rebuild to theirs. Do you trust this board and management to do it?

Absolute nonsense comment from him tbh considering he knows fine well they sold 2 of their best players to fund those deals..

We lost nobody..

I'm not given up on the league but yer having a laugh if you think Gio is anything special as manager, I'd love for him to ram those words back down my throat but we will see, there's always hope.

[Laudrupsleftfoot 12,212]

I still think there's a decent chance we will win all our remaining games and win the league, but if he doesn't then I'd sound out Knutsen.

We're struggling if it's not someone like that though.

Worry is we won't be able to afford offloading him and the back team. We will go with it until it gets toxic next season. 

We need a miraculous turn of form to win it. Dortmund type results and performances in the games against them. 

Worrying thing is the players will know drop anymore points it's done and that hanging over their heads for the remaining 8 games doesn't bode well considering how we deal with high pressure situations domestically.

He has to win the league, you can't come in with the lead we had and finish second to them after the rebuild they've had to go through.

If he puts us through any kind of humiliation against the fenians like last time again then it shouldn't even be a question.

💯%

Aye your optimism is evident all over the forum.

There's blind optimism like yours and the likes of Jeffrey who won't hear a bad word said about Gio, and then optimism from realizing that we're 3 points behind and the fenians aren't that good.

[Colin Traive 23,827]

No league - no Gio

Number of points chucked away against inferior opposition is scandalous and that shameful, cowardly display at the Glitterdome was unforgivable.

Only the league (or the EL) can save him.

[BlueAvenger 10,753]

The scum don’t look like dropping points elsewhere so we have to win our remaining 8 league games. Based on our current form it’s extremely unlikely. Just fuckin give everything in every game.

So far yes, he has been, but calling for his head after 21 games is still laughable especially when it wouldn’t salvage our season and it would make us look like a joke.

Nice of you to keep latching on to me saying he’s been a disaster domestically though. I also see you’ve already got your “aye but Gerrard” point in on the previous. At what point are you going start judging what you are seeing Gio put out on the park rather than fall back to your default position of highlighting something Gerrard did or didn’t do?

So we dont compare a new manager using an old managers team to the old manager using his team? Why not? 

So you say gio is a disaster domestically, how do you come to that conclusion?

Maybe cause it’s looking likely that we’ve thrown our title away. 

[RockwellGers 15,253]

If we continue to play badly the league is gone.

However I'm backing us to step it up and hit form soon. The question for me is, how soon. We win our next couple and we may have got through the bad patch and still be right in it. Another fuck up and the league looks unlikely. One more and I'll probably say that's that.

Just my two cents

We've spent a fortune AFAIK on one loan, Ramsey, who has been a waste of 2m to date.

But after a full pre season and the bones of 30m on their squad I think many underestimate how decent they should be. They should be dominating and winning now for that sort of investment in Scotland. 

We're nowhere near fucked this season as they did last season. That's frustration talking and there's no credible argument for that.

Before he arrived we had taken 78% of available points, since he's arrived weve taken 77% of available points, thats after going away to hearts, hibs, tarriers, sheep and livi, 5 grounds we didnt go to once before he arrived

Before he arrived we were averaging a bawhair over 2 goals a game, gio has hit 1.875 goals per game

Before he arrived we were conceding roughly a goal a game in the league, since he's arrived weve dropped to 0.6 goals per game and thats with toughet fixtures

The biggest reason for the league change is that before he arrived the tarriers had dropped more points to livi than they have in all games since he joined, think thats something like 44 points they have taken since gio arrived, thats title winning form wether we want to admit it or not

If we don't win the league which we are currently behind in it will be a disaster. 

Hes already lost us 10 points since the end of December which is a shambles tbh especially in the run in now. 

To be 6 ahead to what is essentially 4 behind in the space of 2 months is not acceptable as a manager of Rangers.

We haven't won a thing and they have already won a cup so yes it's every bit as bad so far. 

I take it Diallo came here for nothing then? 

You can't be 6 points ahead at Christmas going up against a novice from Austriallia whos team he's chcuked together at the last minute and now be what is essentially 4 points behind with 8 games to go. 

It's shambolic and I'm stunned so many seem to be accepting of it. Europe aside GVB has been a poor appointment.
