trublusince1982 243 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Pedro shouldn't have been sacked without a replacement in place but he had too many embarrassing defeats and too many bad signings. For those two reasons I am reluctant to criticise the board for getting shot off him. 8 loses in 27 and several of them were down to outside influences. murty 6 in 16. lets not kid on it was the performances that got him the sack, it was the players and our clubs/fans inability to modernise. Its not all the foreign managers who have failed, its us. We are the fault. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,294 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Its not all the foreign managers who have failed, its us. We are the fault. Nonsense. The fans have a tendency to get on the players' backs at Ibrox but saying that we are entirely at fault for some woeful performanes is just rubbish. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,640 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I think we're partly to blame. We're impatient, set in our ways, and the majority don't really understand what it takes to make the next step (I'm not suggesting I do). I think we have to build an infrastructure first, though, before a "proper" manager will take us to the next stage, like Man City; they built a whole new youth structure, employed a former Barcelona DoF etc. years in advance, so Guardiola could step in; they didn't just employ Guardiola and expect him to revolutionise the club the next day. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 We really aren't that impatient at all. We put up with Big Eck and Ally for long enough. In fact after all the comical nonsense and crap football we have been subjected to in recent years, it's a miracle we get the attendances we do. As for Pedro, we didn't pluck him from some obscure league because he's the next Mourinho. He was useless. Chop it up to experience and move on. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd be as well having Jimmy Bell in charge - surely it's his turn now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyharley 5 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Didnt we know eck was going inside 6 months from him winning the league? Yes and he offered his resignation and Murray refused it and persuaded him to stay on. He also took us within a baw hair of the last 8 of the Champions League. I actually feel for SBS for having to endure that haha I'd have taken Eck til the end of the season. I feel for Murty but the board have basically told the players to chuck it 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My impatience comment was more to do with the infrastructure, than any current manager -- we are more patient than most when it comes to managers. We don't have the patience to allow the bedrock to be re-shaped; without that any manager coming in will be hampered, IMO. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
