The ONLY thing people can have a go at him about is going to Ibrox/The Louden whilst Gio was still manager and that's enough evidence that Beale's a cunt, but we've only collectively decided to voice those opinions after he turned out to be a shite manager. I had a go about him going out to a boxing match the night before an important game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he smashes it there 💙 We win that penalty shoot out we end up in pot 1 of CL and quite possibly have a decent campaign, certainly not 6 defeats. There is a possibility that he would still be our manager. Will never know if that eould have been better or worse than the journey we are on.

285miles 515 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Good luck Gio 👍🏻 sadly it was that St Johnstone away loss which effectively ended his time here, mixed feelings about it and wish it had gone better for him in the league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made a cunt of himself coming up to the Louden then attending the game ( guest or not ) after losing the previous night with QPR and knowing how much pressure Gio was under. That apart I agree with you in terms of the abuse aimed at him during his time in charge and also since he’s left. There’s no need for it.

I think we drew away to St Mirren which was his last game but had lost to St J a couple of weeks before which effectively blew the league Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cr3_bear 15,033 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Never doubted Gios love and commitment to the club gave us some special nights and days at Hampden but the league form could just never get to that consistency required .

Popular Post The Specky Forum Organiser 66,454 Posted January 3 Popular Post Share Posted January 3 Good luck, Gio. Badly let down by certain senior players, you gave me some of the best nights of my life that I will never forget. There's not many people who leave Rangers that I pay any attention to. I'll follow Gio's career, I really really hope he fucking smashes it. Always welcome back at Ibrox, Gio.

A lot of our failings are down to recruitment being a shambles since January 2021. Gio was a bit old school in that he set up a side with the best players in each position and gave them the freedom to build attacks. We weren’t organised enough to press well domestically, but with better players we’d have won games more convincingly and been in title races. Signings like Lawrence and Tillman can unlock defences when given a bit of freedom to play their game. It worked under Walter and Gio was of a similar mould, rather than a coach with a overiding philosophy. It’s arguably why we did well in the Europa run and knocked out PSV, because we identified opponents weaknesses and nullified them. Instead, we spent the Europa/CL revenue he made us on dross like Ramsey, Matondo, Davies, or cheap options like Colak rather than seriously upgrading the squad.

Also let's not pretend the majority of the forum weren't delighted to see him and the prospect of him potentially replacing Gio. I'm quite disappointed by you. I assume that all your comments in any thread have been completely pure of course....never said anything out of frustration? The perfect fan? Okay.

bluenoz 31,298 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I couldn't stand Gio's interviews towards the end. Loved him as a player, but as a manager (and his backroom staff) not so much, especially in his last season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Hume 13,494 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I wish Gio every success at his new club .... except if they come up against us of course ... 😛 Gio and the Dutch revolution produced some of the finest football we have ever seen at Ibrox .... giving millions of us memories alone that have never been equaled. Gio as a player was brilliant ... his managerial spell with us was less brilliant ... mercurial probably describes it better ... from the highs we enjoyed in Europe to the lows we didn't enjoy domestically. But despite all that he still deserves to be remembered for his highlights as both a player and a Manager ... and didn't deserve to be ridiculed by some of our supporters or treated with disdain by the board .... as he was by far not the worst Manager we have appointed. 🇬🇧 Rlm, AlbertzLoyalRSC, Amokachi and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moody Blue 9,542 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Classy player in the best footballing team I’ve ever seen us have. Was within one kick of being taken into immortality as a manager but he just overthought our league and was on the wrong end of the fast Aussie’s team going on an incredible run of form. The way the board dealt with his departure with Beale stunk and he didn’t deserve that, albeit his time with us was up. Wish him nothing but success, unless they ever draw us.

JD Sanchez 25 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Will never have anything but love for Gio - It may have been his time to go, yes, but to have a chancing snake like Beale hovering about in your last days was not Rangers level of behaviour - He deserved better.
