The majority of gerrards title winning team were brought into the club within the first season or already here for him Id rather we win the fucking treble every year, but if our expectations are to punch above our weight every season then we are in trouble as not often in scottish football does that happen for the title Are you giving Gio 3 seasons to win the league?

Almost like they still believed in the project. I know he didn't win right away. That's taking us back again to him competing with an established, settled, winning competitor who were spending more on transfers and wages I believe. Whilst he inherited shit.

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 It is the soul destroying performances that have to be addressed. We can improve as players return from injury and new signings get game time and become more settled. We simply have to get more zip into our game and that is Gio's job.
