rbr 1,247 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 This was always the problem going down the Pedro route , the "what if" it doesn't work , where will the money come from to pay off the manager and staff , plus do some of the foreigners down tools so to speak , I honestly don't know whether it's better to stick or twist , what I do know is that unlike other problems we face this one is entirely down to our own making . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I never understood the decision to take a gamble on the Manager, especially when we are trying to build with little money. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,306 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I never understood the decision to take a gamble on the Manager, especially when we are trying to build with little money. we took a gamble with Pedro as it was perceived he could get us better quality players at affordable prices. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Where we were, consolidation was the safer option. Unexciting but less risk. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooponthewing 1,139 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) A new manager will not come in and win the league. He should be given to the end of the season. I have a feeling he will only get till Xmas however if we get to a cup final (or two) and finish second that would be progress.

chilledbear 16 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 what does that mean ? finishing 2nd or 3rd in the league ? we did that last season. It would have meant buying Scottish players who know the League, likes of Moult etc. yes we would have probably finished 2nd or 3rd. At the moment we are going to finish 2nd or 3rd anyway, with players from Mexico and Portugal who don't seem to be coping very well, and that's the ones that are fit. I didn't fancy McInnes or Wright but it might have been safer for 2/3 years. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why we went for Pedro 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the same results with players that aren't "coping [...] well", then we should be in for a treat when they do start coping! I don't understand your logic.
