Bill 13,717 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Polls on the managers future might have some utility if they weren’t conducted a day after being thrashed by Celtic. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 850 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Havent read the full thread yet to get an idea of the overall opinion but I would say Gersnet over the years has always been more reserved and not so much knee jerk reactions. Gio seems a bit of a tactical genius in the Europa league but there is a pattern being created domestically of not changing it. On Saturday after 15 minutes I was screaming he needs to make at least one sub else it would be 3-0 by half time but he tried to ride the storm hoping we would come in the game. Its been seen many a time by the likes of Mourinho that he doesnt care how many minutes have gone in a game, if a change is needed then do it for tactical reasons at a minimum. FWIW I originally would have very slightly preferred Gattuso with his mass passion but overall thought Gio could perhaps be better for long term building - and it hasnt been one year yet so its to early to make a change now for me. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree that it would probably be unreasonable, costly and generally seen as kneejerk to axe GVB just now. On the other hand, speculative argument, but how long do you give something that is (or appears) destined to fail. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe another season, who knows....... He was always going South when a decent offer came up post league win. Just maybe, with the right recruitment he would have committed for another full season. Even with backing he still takes the Villa job, IMO. I was wanting him gone anyway; we were stale. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wanting him gone anyway; we were stale. Very possibly. But if things had been done differently, he would have left us in better shape. Building upon and freshening up a title winning side isn't rocket science. It is going to be more costly not to have done so.

the gunslinger 3,366 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Given his record in Europe we should give him this run at the CL. But if that goes bad or if their isn't a huge improvement in the league by the time we break up for the world cup we should use that break to find a new manager. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do you want Gio gone as we are as stale this Aug as we were last (domestically anyway). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,293 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 GvB deserves to see out the CL groups. I agree with gunslinger though, if we go out of Europe and our domestic form doesn't improve, it might be time to look at alternatives. Our away form in 2022 has been nothing short of a disgrace. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
