We are on the cusp of getting an embarrassing score against us in the next few weeks. Open your eyes. We beat Motherwell 2-1. FFS! The taigs beat them 2-1 at the piggery on the 1st of October. Don't see their manager getting sacked any time soon. Arguably worse result for them as it was a home game. We also drew twice with them last season so a 2-1 away win is a decent result imo.

plymouthranger 4,268 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Realistically we’ve got a squad that’s missing about 6 starters due to injury. Recruitment hasn’t been good enough but that’s not solely down to Gio. Until the gap gets considerably wider in the title race, he’s going nowhere Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Williamson. 87,398 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 We are basically hoping that they drop points elsewhere and we can limp along winning, while getting results against them at Ibrox.

Even the 4-0 results didn’t involve fantastic looking football as strange as that sounds. Ive never seen a team limp the whole way to a title in my life.

.Williamson. 87,398 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Gio won’t be sacked or leave while we are two points behind in the title race and still challenging for everything domestically btw, it’s ridiculous to think otherwise Ibroxholm and BlueKnight87 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never really got our shit together until the last 8 games or so of the season. They were ahead one stage by 7 points. We slowly ground out wins playing some pretty horrible football while they dropped points to reel them in and it wasn't convincing at all.

Ibroxholm 2,312 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 4 hours ago, left winger said: I suppose it comes down to the questions - can we afford to sack him? And Can we afford not to sack him? I'm leaning towards no to the second question? Far too early in the season to sack him, I think. Champions League has been an embarrassment but we were never going to do anything in it anyway. The League is our bread and butter and as long as we are in touching distance with them, I think it would be foolhardy to do anything to disrupt things. Let’s face it being gubbed in Europe and hanging on in there in the League to when it matters, despite rubbish performances, is reminiscent of much of Walter’s reign. The cost of getting rid of him and his backroom team and bringing in a new manager/team would also likely mean we wouldn’t be able to spend on players in January.

I’m pointing out that him being on a shortlist now is pretty obvious under the current board given the fact that he was on the last list, like it or not. The jury’s out on Gio regardless.

And Can we afford not to sack him? I'm leaning towards no to the second question? While he's still within distance of the taigs or better he's not in any danger. Board have already confirmed via the tav apology that the champions league is a bonus. Results there won't matter to them. Only if the league becomes out of reach will a change even be discussed. I definitely think money plays an issue there as well. It won't be cheap to sack gio and his staff. Then hire a new manager and staff. Especially if they move for a currently employed replacement. left winger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
