Nope, he inherited a team of losers and got time to turn them into winners. His team.

GVB is culpable for the 12 point swing, but the players, not his signings, have reverted to type.

When we lose the semi-final, are thrashed again at The Piggery and finish 10-12 points behind in the League then the pricks in the boardroom will have to punt Gio if they hope to sell season tickets. Rangers fans have proved their loyalty time and again, but we simply will not tolerate rolling over to that scum. The board may not have to sack him if Gio cannot rectify this mindset in our players for Hampden, if he cannot then he should do the right thing and walk.

Some people seem to be saying he deserves time etc, for me he's already done.

However if he loses the semi, watches them win a treble and ends up double figures behind them in the league (which all look likely btw) he'll lose any support he has left & the board will be forced to act

Just seems a waste of time waiting for that to happen when we can act now

From player trading, and selling whoever he wants, for as much as he can get. Same as any other manager will have to do as I don't see a budget otherwise.

I don't know a Gio player, neither do you. None of us will unless he gets a budget this summer then I'd expect Doekli and other young promising players to come in needing developed whilst Tav, Jack, Lundstram remain the experience.

Would be interesting to know whether those 3 are GVB or Wilson signings.

Ah player trading like selling Patterson for a record amount? Now is it upto Gio who is sold or the cuck Wilson? 

Yup, no-one knows  a Gio player except Gio but if his players fit that god awful tactic then can you trust him to pick players? Certainly cant trust Wilson to pick out players.

If those 3 were just Wilson then Gio being a bitch to a cuck is horrendous.

Does the laid back Dutch style not work in football then? Is this what your saying?

Not what I said buddy, this was specifically about the fight we lack in old firm games this season which I think shows in preparation of being too laid back and miles off even how we played under Gerrard in old firms, because no matter what folk think of him he knew how to fight and win a derby.

Mate you'd such life out of a stone through a straw called negativity.

What's your solution?

Neither did gio, gio inherited a team 4pts clear, got them to 6 then watched as the players did their usual and shite the bed from a title race, as they have done under gerrard

There's a huge difference from a 3 year plan to build a stronger squad year on year after a decade of mediocrity.

And a 5 month plan to take a team of champions with a 6 point lead and just see it over the line securing the funds for our future.

[KingKirk 25,814]

Before we even get to buying and selling players the question of trust comes into it do our club trust GVB and Wilson to rebuild us.

I've said GVB is culpable.

But the situation in the summer is again like what Gerrard inherited. A squad needing dismantled, and overcoming a strong enemy who have more to spend.

How long does the new guy get if its not Gio? Til the 2nd OF game and he can gtf too if we don't win one of them?

I don't know what or who the solution is. We know this current setup is setup for failure. Executive board need to go. Management need to go. Recruitment network needs overhauled.

The club needs a clear out or accept ingrained mediocrity for years to come.

We would have never looked at a young upcoming manager who recently won a league title with a massive underdog?

Wit, 5 or 6 year ago? Let’s go the whole hog n bring in some cunt like Ranieri then if we’re measuring Rangers manager credentials against titles with underdogs.

He was most recently managing in China before us. How we laughed when they appointed that fat cunt when managing a J-League team.

An utter fucking brass neck.

You keep laughing whilst we are throwing league titles away and surrendering in cups.

What’s your thoughts on the likes of Baxter and Greig being pally with Tarriers 

[BlueSuedeSambas 54,488]

We are in the exact same position to what we were under Caixinha after he got scudded off them 5-1.

You can already see that it’s not really working but people feel that we need to give Gio the same chance we have Caixinha mainly because they need time and a chance to build their own squads on the basis that they were/are just in the door, even though their interviews, general demeanour and what we were/are serving up every week pointed towards somebody who would just never get it no matter how much time you gave them.

I don’t even want to mention Gerrard because it’s boring as fuck but if we were comparing you could say that at least he had character, personality and charisma and he could charm people with that even when things weren’t going well, but with Gio there isn’t anything that gives you any sense of confidence or anything that installs any belief in you.

You turn those 3 draws under Gio alone into 2 wins and we're still in the league. 

McGregor to blame for Motherwell, Ross County and the Torbett's twice. If there is to be any joy this season McGregor has to be dropped.

Gerrard gave the entire club direction and leadership, including the board. Pretty much held it all together. Gio doesn't do that, now it shows up all the faults.

I disagree.

We'd never have been embarrassed and made to look mugs at Ibrox against them with Gerrard here.

He set the team up with a set of balls and in their faces. Gios teams are powderpuff and give respect to them which is ridiculous.

We have been incredibly poor all season but under Gerrard the cracks were starting to show just before he left. We were playing poor but scraping wins. You can't do that all season.

We all know he doesn't ever do that so we can't complain the manager is picking him every week regardless of said mistakes.

What a new manager does or doesn't do is irrelevant, Gio should lose his job!
