Ross Wilson should be next to leave.

[JCDBigBear 10,825]

Wilson should follow Gio out of the door and the sooner the better.  His signings and the contracts given have been mostly awful.  We have a first team squad of about 26 and a first team wage bill of approx £40 million which is an average wage of £1.5 million per year.   We are not getting value for money.  Our squad has a fairly high average age and we have few players with any really decent potential sell-on fee.    The last three transfer windows have been extremely poor.   16 players brought in by fees, frees or loans.   Total cost in transfers and signing-on fees is in the region of £20 million.  Quantity before quality.

Should, but won’t.

Gio is the fall guy.

[plymouthranger 3,879]

Gio is the fall guy, Wilson needs to have the transfer window of his life 

[ForeverAndEver 71,529]

Should’ve been first out the door

[BlueKnight87 17,296]

Absolutely woeful transfer record with an inflated wage budget under his watch. 

Board will keep in on but. They'll see the sales as the positive. 

He should be sacked.

 

[Loyal72 11,069]

100% much of this failure is on him too.

What's the point in him picking our next manager?

[Bears r us 30,803]

He should be, but I do not think that will happen unfortunately. 

[NorthernLights 2,526]

Should be but I’m sure it will be spun as Gio couldn’t get them playing for him 

[NeoGeo7 10,530]

So matondo was a successful signing, Davies was a successful signing, Ramsay was a successful loan. If Gio goes because our on field performances then surely Wilson goes for the recruitment performance

[bassettger 368]

Having to sack a manager who he scouted who has failed, poor player  recruitment over multiple transfer windows and an exposed position regarding expiring contracts for Kent and Morelos with no obvious big player sales. He should have gone with Gio. Wilson does not have the ability or contacts required. 

[Dickie 12,905]

Whoever the new manager is will have to be aware of just how bad this cunt is or they’re fucked.

[BlueboyG 5,238]

Hope the shareholders rip him a new arse at AGM if he's still here.

[BlueVanguard 6,652]

The thought of going for a new manager and he has Ross Wilson scouting and signing gives me the fear. 

Hope the new manager knows a good DOF and can ask the board to bring him in to replace Wilson.

100% every question will be directed towards Ross Wilson now. The managers gone so now its him next.

[tom1780 1,218]

Makes no sense his role 

gio gone 

but linked with players 

silly stuff 

 

[Moody Blue 9,383]

GVB all but confirmed with the ‘transfers is a collective decision’ that Wilson is responsible for the signings debacle we’ve had.  They can laud up the Patterson and Bassey sales as evidence he’s doing a cracking job but for every one of those, you have fucks ups like letting Goldson (although he re-signed), Morelos and Kent running down contracts, spunking money on utter drivel and wasting money on supposed marquee signing of Ramsey who missed more games than he played.  Huge fuck ups that have cost the club millions of pounds.

I’d like to know the actual strategy here, if there is one of course. If it’s to follow the Patterson / Bassey model, why didn’t they move on Morelos and Kent?  There is no way we couldn’t have had their agents find them clubs. 

[Bad Robot 21,159]

yes please you like whore

[kelvd1873 7,173]

Is it true we are paying Matondo 30k a week? I can’t find anything to back this but that’s what he was apparently on at schalke.

I heard one of the guests on the Rangers rabble podcast say he couldn’t believe how much he heard Matondo was on and he shouldn’t even be on half of what he is. 

if Matondo is on anywhere near 30k Wilson should be chased out the door.

That’s the point, the football operation continues regardless of who’s manager. Shame we’ve got a moron running it.

[The Ibrox Derry 8,905]

Not a chance of Wilson leaving

[theblueoysterbar 19,636]

Another reason to wish Gio had been more of a bastard, he wouldn't have gone without sticking it to Wilson.

Early days yet I suppose though.

As I noted in my original post the average annual wage cost is approx £1.5 million per first team player.  Given that at least 12 of them will be getting nowhere near that sum then the average for the rest (including Matondo) will be considerably more than £1.5M.  How depressing is that thought???

That’s wild. Unforgivable tbh.

[esquire8 42,788]

Park and Bennett clearly see Park Jr and the executive board as doing a good job. 

Executive board and Park Jr using the first team management to hide their own massive failings.

As long as the accounts look good they'll be going nowhere.

[rangersross 6,530]

A random guy on FF saying he's heard from someone connected to the colts that they're looking into sacking him. Surely total bollocks but I'll take any glimmer of hope I can get.
