Is it when they do well in the Champions League it's all down to GVB and nothing to do with what SG helped build? But when they get thrashed by Celtic it's what SG built? I think at the rate he throws players under the bus, you can see how he burnt his way through 38 in three years. I also don’t think Gerrard set anything up, as he doesn’t coach, take sessions or do tactics, it’s how his coaches set any side up. In essence, his only contribution appears to be sound bites at press conferences and visiting players houses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsworthvilla Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I really hope someone doesn't actually throw a Cabbage. It's such a distasteful act and doesn't show our fanbase in the best light. There are better and more civil ways to make our feelings known. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 1 hour ago, KentVillan said: The bigger issue is we simply shouldn’t be paying any attention to a manager’s record in a weak league. I know a lot of people said at the time not to dismiss the SPL, but it is just objectively a big step down. Only two clubs have a decent budget (and that budget is more like a lower PL / upper Championship budget) and the standard of football is often dire. Why haven’t we learned our lesson from McLeish? The only time to pay attention to a manager in Scotland is when he does it with a non Old Firm side (eg Ferguson with Aberdeen), and even then, take it with a big pinch of salt. We don’t need to be a club that gives promising young managers a chance. We have the resources to get people who’ve shown they can do it in a top league. I’d argue it means more attention should be paid to how they do it and the circumstances involved (like a two horse race with a weak Celtic), and quotes to the effect of “my assistant does most of the coaching” should be much more seriously scrutinised.

StefanAVFC Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) The result and the absolute battering at Palace looks as bad a result as against Bournemouth atm. Dreadful manager. Edited September 3, 2022 by StefanAVFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desensitized43 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 The guy hasn’t don’t the hard yards as a manager that earns him the right to more time. He landed the Rangers job, outspent a Celtic team that at that time was tired and complacent having had no real competition for a decade. He didn’t do anything special there just what was expected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For most managers in the same position it would be curtains, but I think his history with Purslow (who for supposedly a hard nosed exec seems overly impressed by a name) means he'll get until Leicester (assuming we don't get anything out of today) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
