So many things wrong

[falkirkNS 6,298]

Off the park especially, this board and the Ozgate scandal alone should have seen an egm called at the end of last season.

Half hearted rebuild with another influx of average squad fillers. Depressing as fuck.

Crying out for someone with the influence of the man pictured. Goldson would be in hiding never mind the same league as a fergie.

 

[GetToTheChoppa 6,873]

Ok. 

Thanks.

When see their ball boys more switched on and have better game plan than our players, then yeah we have real issues.

All spawns from fear IMO.

Fear of actively trying to sell players when they had some real value, be it a transfer value on performance or a contractual value when they aren’t in their last 6/12 months.

That’s left us with limited financial resources over the past 3 or 4 years and every season it’s a been a sticking plaster approach to transfers.

Fear of life without Goldson. And McGregor too.

When we finally sell a few players for decent money (which is 2-3 years too late) we’re left with an inconsistent shower of shite who can’t be trusted to turn up for the league games when it matters and an influx of new guys we HOPE will be good.

What’s the point of having a ‘buy low sell high’ strategy then not bothering your arse to implement it. 
We could have sold Morelos min 15m, Kent min 10m, Aribo min 10m, Kamara min 10m, Barisic min 5m.

There’s 50m we could have reinvested over the course of the last 2/3 years.

Yes we reached the EL final but that was a highly unusual turn of events. We performed beyond anyones expectations but the weekly grind of league games is the real barometer of success.

We could be so far ahead of where we are now if we had folk capable of seeing through a clear long term plan.
Unfortunately we’ve been frozen by fear.

Think we've got grounds to appeal the wee fuckers were getting the ball back quick for their team but not for ours - fuckin cheats

Do you think for a minute he pitches up at training and hands over his players and says “here Gio look what I’ve found you”

or do you think Gio identifies areas needing strengthening caries out an assessment on any players identified by Wilson and his scouts and agrees/disagrees that he fits with what he needs/wants?

Wrong. Gio will be his own downfall, nothing more or less. His shitty defensive style and apparent stubbornness to change things is what's bringing this about. Coupled with bizarre zonal marking among other things is why we are playing as badly as we are 

Don't agree with it but at the same time would understands if players have downed tools to a lesser extent

oh gio is for sure, but goldson is a serial fucking loser, who would play bottom end championship if lucky. He rode his luck coming here and ran his contract down cause he thought he was going to a Nott Forrest for ex for mental salaries. He has cost us so much already this season. 

He must have thought he won the lottery when wee midget ross wilson says,connor i see no one wants to sign you, how about i give you a 4 year contract on 35k, is that ok?

[ForeverAndEver 71,509]

Tavernier is every bit as much of the problem as Goldson.

Wooft nail on head.

[stuart1994 4,303]

Sooner everycunt at the club realises we’re miles off them the better. Hopefully the club realise a lots needing done, absolutely stood still after winning the league and it’s really starting to show.

Yep

[Madina 3,821]

Gio is an uninspiring figure on the bench and interviews. He cant seem to fire players up 

The board are a shambles. It's a case of "give us your money, sit down, accept everything" 

Too many players living off 55. Too many players old and past the standard we need 

The turnaround in both OF clubs in the last 15 months or so is staggering. Seems stopping the 10 was the end rather than the start of us being the dominant force

I was glad he was going then some arsehole resigned him and then they made out it was a major coup, coup de grâce more like. Was fully expecting more faux pas but this ? Fuck that!

Your first sentence is pretty close to what I think, the way you're putting it over the manager has the final say, think this is way of the mark and if it's not the amount of shite that's been at the club the last two or three seasons neither Gerrard nor Gio can spot a player and a wee rider to that how many of Gerrard's choices did he take with him

Totally disagree mate.  Goldson is the root cause of all our issues at the back, he drops off constantly when he should attack. Positionally hes found out week in week out and for me the pairing of him and sands has exposed this quicler than i thought it would. Hes always had someone beside him who carries the can:

Katic - too raw

Edmundson - limited ability

Helander. - too slow

Bassey - again, too raw (but not that bad that Ajax dropped £20m+on him)

His pish defending has cost us league cups, scottish cups, league games and a europa league final. Hes the very definition of the managers boy (under Gerrard) and a clueless Gio has carried on with the same idea.  The only way hes winning another trophy is if Covid makes a comeback and we play in empty stadiums again. Really cant hack the pressure

Disagree. Tavernier has been fucking rotten this season as well.

[Clemdog 39,389]

Tav isn't fit.

The Club do this weird thing that they act like he's sound, when he absolutely isn't. 

They did it before the European game when he went off injured, they put a picture up of him and tagged him training the day before. They did the same on Friday. 

[Davidorrp 282]

The team has become stale, and we’ve held on to players far to long. McGregor, Goldson, Tav, Morelos, Kent, Davis, Arfield and we should have sold at their peak and made decent money and reinvested and we should moved on ageing players to make way for youth from our academy or like Bassy/Aribo type buys.  All the big money we’ve made has been from selling our young players, but we kept Davis and Arfield this year rather than bring in McCann and Lowry, give them games if they are good as we hope, sell in a couple of years for good money. 
 

We need to move on our better players before the end of last year of contract for money. It’s stupid not too. 
 

No one is buying Mcgregor, Goldson, Tav, Davis or Arfield. They will all go for nothing at end of contracts, and Kent and Morelos will walk for nothing as well I reckon. We will probably release Helander. No idea what will happen with Roofe.  Fair enough we were never making money in mcgregor, Davis or Arfield, but certainly could save in their wages. But could have made modest millions on all the rest if we’d followed business plan and sold at their peak.

That way you would hope we would be refreshing and improving team every 2-3 years.
