Yeah don't see what gio is trying to do. Players don't seem to know either what they are meant to be doing. That lot much as I hate saying it are much more well drilled than us the now. They have a system of play and roles are known. It's a total swap from last season. Valance1690 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboBear 162 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I hate to say who else will we go for, as we shouldn't base our decision to keep or replace a manager, on the alternatives available. However it does need to be considered. One of the main things for me is we don't just need a competent manager. We need a manager who "gets it" As an ex player, surely Gio knows what it means, and what it takes to be a manager or player for Rangers. For that reason I would give him more time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said both him and the players need to take the blame. It doesn't need to be one or the other here. Yes these players have history, yes they have bottled it before and they deserve criticism for it. Gio however can't just be giving a free pass. He needs to take blame as well for the position we are now in. But the point is that if the players failed under gerrard, and are failing under gio, how can he be blamed enough to the point where he is sacked before being able to disassemble this squad and build his own Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that I thought was a negative from this season may turn out to work in our favour i.e. lots of players contracts expiring this summer.

It’ll be interesting to see what approach you take next season when we have new players in and you don’t have Gerrard as a boogeyman and you can’t revert to your constant “aye but Gerrard” and “whataboutery” whenever Gio’s managerial ability and results are called in to question. The reason for that is that people are sitting here slaughtering gio for a record that gerrard had with the same players, And like it or not gio has managed this team to a result that not even gerrard managed to accomplish in his time here (EL last 16) If gio is indeed clueless because of the results with these players what does that make the previous manager who, bar one unorthodox and never been seen before seaaon behind closed doors, had the same type of results and performances with the same group What gerrard clueless? Was he hopeless? Should he have been sacked when covid hit? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malkytfp1 19,666 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 So I've kept quiet on this thread cause I didn't want to give my knee jerk opinion ten seconds after the final whistle. Having thought about it, I would rather we kept Gio but wouldn't be too gutted if he left. I think it's harsh to put it all down to him when he came in halfway through a season with someone else's team. I also think a lot of the dropped points have been fuck all to do with the manager but big players making big cunts of it, Ross County for instance. I think he deserves next season to recruit his own players and have his own season set up. One man who should be questioned should be Ross Wilson. We've played the same formation with the same style for four years which has relied heavily on a sole no.9 who runs the channels and mixes it up with defenders. He's given us nothing close to a striker who replicates that and what Morelos does along with multiple atrocious signings with zero sell on value. Ps. I wish cunts would stop talking about Gerrard. He is a rat bastard who fucked us over. Let his name die now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he decides 🤣 Cunt doesn't even deserve the chance to decide, he's been pumped twice off an unknown Aussie & will potentially lose the title by miles, on current form I wouldn't be surprised if its double figures As it stands, Gio will be lucky to ever have another managerial role after us, he deserves fuck all ready1873 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
