Popular Post plymouthranger 3,888 Posted October 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2022 Time to go. Gios not the answer but he’s been dealt a fucking shocker of a hand. We fluked qualifying for the CL with a squad consisting of over the hill GKs, a midfield made from free transfers with an average age of around 34, a selection of wide players who none of whom are good enough, plus a treatment room full of crocked players. The man who said no to the likes of Veerman, then spent £2-3 million on Aaron Ramsey, signed Juninho Bacuna and started giving out Davis, McGregor etc new deals. The man who kept Kent and Morelos on when they should’ve been moved out years ago, who we’ll now get precisely fuck all for and no effort from for the next 9 months. The man who turned down decent money for the likes of Kamara, but then spent £5million on a back-up left back rather than strengthening the spine of a team. If I was that bad at my job, I’d have been let go in probation. This charlatan is still here 2 years on and we’re completely reliant on the work of his predecessor.

SIRB_72 4,002 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Writing was on the wall with this guy. His track record pre-Rangers was hardly stellar. I actually feel like he's signed some decent players this summer but for a club in our position that is half the job. He's clung on to the majority of a squad that has been here too long and apparently just don't have the hunger anymore. plymouthranger and HG5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got good money for Patterson and Bassey and Aribo we were limited by his release clause. But maximising the transfer fees is IMO a 1/3 of the key responsibilities of his job. The other 2/3 are recruitment and moving players out when we need to refresh, he’s failing on both those. SIRB_72 and HG5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's fucked any good work by allowing Morelos, Kent and Aribos at the time contracts to run down.

Not only does the wee cunt look like Barney Rubble, he’s about as useful as him as Director of a Football. Incidentally, Wilson has been exceptionally quiet of late. I can’t recall seeing an interview since he was basking in the glow of Aaron Ramsey’s halo. HG5 and plymouthranger 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiamondDan 2,386 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Instead of using each transfer window to improve the team, we have got WORSE with each passing window. The players we sign are not good enough, we also don't move players when we should. However, the most concerning aspect is that the complete lack of due diligence on who we are signing. We continually sign players who are mentally weak, have no leadership skills and can't handle pressure. falkirkNS, plymouthranger and HG5 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,534 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Feels like we've allowed the squad to become bloated on numbers and limited in quality, which just means big wages going out for little return. That combined with player contract situations and it feels like the big fees brought in are being bled away. Head of football carries the can for this.

Wilson does not sign anyone without Gio’s say Perhaps Gio like the look of Souter and asked Wilson to scout him do you think he rocks up at training and drops a player off that nobody knows about?

RossS1873 1,671 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 This needs to start coming from the stands. Its the only way they'll listen. Wee prick was happy standing looking smug after signing Ramsey. Where is he now answering for a piss poor recruitment drive. plymouthranger and DiamondDan 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moody Blue 9,404 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 The whole approach to contracts, renewals and spending summer cash is mismanagement of the highest proportions, even ignoring the stupid January 22 we had. I’ll drive him anywhere he wants to go to leave, absolute imposter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBearButt 3,655 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 We are not a big enough club in terms of finance where a DOF is needed or appropriate we are scraping about frees and dross. Recruitment should be for the manager and scouting network only and then the board. This role is just another hiding place for all involved and helps avoid accountability.

bassettger 368 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 There is a chance we might get lucky and he will move on. He can't simply lay all of our issues at Gios door(who he appointed) and I would be surprised if he isn't looking around to see what is available. Directors who are poor at their job tend to move around a lot a bit like he has - Watford 1 year, Huddersfield 3 years and Southampton 4 years with the 7 years he spent at Falkirk his longest stay. Why would you leave Southampton in the EPL with all the money available to a DOF ? Suspect he felt his time was up. He is absolutely useless at key elements of the job.
