Beale was given the run of the place and we’ve been an absolute circus since The preseason under Gio was a shambles. Think he was a great cup manager but was very inept in the league.

Was just cause you'd been angry but not noticed 👍 Yeah brain not engaged mate. Tbh my post about apathy is personal. My old man can’t go to Hampden due to mobility so Saturday was a solo, then me and no.2 tonight and it’s fucking soul destroying not being at Ibrox. My seats are in CR3 and I would gladly sit in the gaff and play in front of 3 stands until it’s ready. The fans tried like fuck to lift the team but as soon as the first went in it was like the air emptied in the place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Williamson. 87,160 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Who’s taking over from the board when they’re chased btw? This is the thing that nobody can ever answer. I’d love a change of board and fresh investment, but no cunts plowing money into a Scottish football club unless they support the club. Clearly we have nobody like that or it would have happened years ago allgavesome 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean they should be running the club. They should relieve all control. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 33,320 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 There's a danger this snowballs even further. If we're 6 or 7 points behind by early September, crowds at Hampden will start to dwindle. Probably a poor uptake in EL tickets. Without a big change will probably not do well in thw EL. Coefficient down the toilet. Further spiral. Potential to get proper grim.

Gio had his faults but one thing that always sticks out to me is the clip of him at that parkhead game his second season There's a clip you see him going mental at the side line telling our players to switch on as they take a quick free kick which leads to Jotas goal Instead of respond half our played looked around hopelessly Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
