Napoli don't look like pushovers here... That's the spirit! No surrender! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I mean, perhaps at that point he didn't know himself what the financial situation would be. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knew he had just qualified for the CL and didn't get a player out of it when the need was hugely apparent to almost all. Not sure what I think he should have said mind you but he must regret saying he was happy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutton_blows_goats 4,208 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Just now, the gunslinger said: He knew he had just qualified for the CL and didn't get a player out of it when the need was hugely apparent to almost all. Not sure what I think he should have said mind you but he must regret saying he was happy. Agree, perhaps history is repeating and the board gave him the same line Gerrard got before he got unhappy and left. If i were a player I'd also be disappointed that having made the Cl and seen some big money departures there were no further reinforcements. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, I must admit I have little hope going into this game after the last two showings unfortunately. Hopefully I’m proven wrong. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisabeer 409 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I remember years ago getting the call that my wife's grandmother was ready to pass on to the other side and the whole family rushed up to the nursing home. It was a false alarm. This happened 4 or 5 times until the inevitable eventually happened. With every game that passes I feel the same about gio. It is only a matter of time till its his turn to go. He ain't cutting it. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoohBear 1,074 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Whilst it was great to see some fight and passion tonight, it was absolutely damning that we started the game with 9 out of 11 players that have been with us in 2019. The team has absolutely been weakened this transfer window. Gio has presided over a team that blows hot and cold, I’m still feeling quite bleak. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ain't cutting it. The CL group is just way above the level this group of players can get to and will provide further heavy setbacks. It is getting to the stage where it is pretty much a write off. Last game at home to Ajax will probably be our best chance of getting close to points. Gio did exactly that with Feyenoord in the CL, 5 losses, then a win on MD6. Dropping points domestically is what would hurt him more. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he still can't see the players who continually drag him down. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 4,808 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 The GVB question centres on if he is capable of winning a league title. I think we need really strong leadership from a manager and I don't see it with GVB. Who comes in ? Finances ? Difficult questions that will probably see Gio stay on, but we know where this movie is heading. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
