Caixinha wins Copa MX Apetrua

[BrownBrogues]

Cruz Azul first trophy since 2013. They beat Monterry 2-0. He was as mad as a brush, I think with us it was just a complete culture shock. I am pleased for him he was always very decent with the Fans.

 

[Ayrshire Bear]

Well done Pedro ya big maddy

 

[Vamos_buffalo]

Well done to the caravan pulling maniac

 

[Recoba]

He had a terrible start there aswell, fans throwing bottles at him etc and he has turned it around.


He sussed out the refs and the poets right away and always defended us, it just never worked or looked like working out

 

[Echo_1]

Fair play to him. Hope he has a brilliant career in management but he needs to stay away from the UK, he's not built for our climate.

 

[Superrangers]

So, the trophy for the winners of the Apertura (the opening half of the season).

 

[RabSpackman]

Genuinely glad to see him do well; he came across as a decent guy who was just in a position where he could not win.
Language barriers, local media deciding he was a figure of fun and a squad of wasters (many of which he brought in).

 

[Its-Sebo]

Well done to him, nice guy and no doubt tried his best for us regardless of how it turned out.

A foreign manager will never be allowed to work here unless they’ve a huge name and CV to back them up. The media treatment of him was fücking scandalous.

 

[E10H]

 

[MearnsUnionist]

Pleased for him and I think he's a decent enough bloke.

Wasn't the right fit for us though and he had to go.

 

[steve1873]

Good luck to him, but to be fair, I couldn't care less how his career pans out or how it was prior to his arrival. At Rangers, he was an unmitigated disaster and that is all that will ever matter.

 

[Commentator]

A year ago he was asking his squad for more aggression. Still a big problem for us.

 

[Stu_m85]

I wonder if in 10 years time this will be the new ''if only he had been given more time'' mantra like PLG.

 

[EverGer]

I thought he must be doing well as the media haven’t mentioned him. Good luck to him. Came across as a good guy. The media treatment of him from day one was shocking.

 

[EKBB]

He had a terrible start there aswell, fans throwing bottles at him etc and he has turned it around.


He sussed out the refs and the poets right away and always defended us, it just never worked or looked like working out

Just shows that anything is possible if the manager is given time.

Not that I'm suggesting he deserved more if it at Ibrox, he had to go, was more talking about Gerrard.

 

[Drumchapel-Bear]

Well done and fair play to him but lets not re-write history here eh? He was an unmitigated disaster and our huge losses in our accounts just released last night are due to the havoc he caused in 7 months at our club.

 

[Bri RTID]

Well done to the caravan pulling maniac

best line at a press conference ever lol

 

[MoodyBlue1872]

Pleased for him. Nice guy.

Met him once a a charity thing at the training centre and he was incredible with all the people around him.

 

[immortal7]

Spanish/Portuguese speaking countries and lecturing in Sport Management theory, he'll fly.

Managing in the UK, absolutely not.

I always liked him.

 

[Recoba]

Just shows that anything is possible if the manager is given time.

Not that I'm suggesting he deserved more if it at Ibrox, he had to go, was more talking about Gerrard.

Plenty of managers have turned around poor runs mate, its just we are at a critical stage just now and it makes things so intense and the pressure is extreme.

 

[thornhill bear]

Fair play to him. Has found his level

 

[instructor]

Gerrard's domestic record is similar to Pedro's here. Have we blundered in sacking the trophy winning ace?

 

[songsofglory]

Wasn't the man for us, but the press were an absolute disgrace, and it was terrible that our board did not call them to task on their blatant xenophobia.

 

[steve1873]

Gerrard's domestic record is similar to Pedro's here. Have we blundered in sacking the trophy winning ace?

In a word, no!!!

 

[Bigfoot]

Aye decent bloke etc. Spent millions on utter pish then got a handsome pay off for being shite. Decent guy though. FFS

 

[EverGer]

Aye decent bloke etc. Spent millions on utter pish then got a handsome pay off for being shite. Decent guy though. FFS

Doesn’t make him a bad guy. Makes him a football manager.

You think he bought those guys for a laugh? He clearly thought they would be good assets and sadly it didn’t work out for most of them. It happens.

 

[ecossebear]

I'm delighted for him if I'm honest. I always really liked him, met him once and he was a proper gentleman. He spoke a good game and definitely seemed to have something about him. It was not his fault he was the wrong man for the job and should never have been hired!

In my opinion he is a very good manager not suited to the Scottish league. Well done big man.

 

[bornabluenose]

He had a terrible start there aswell, fans throwing bottles at him etc and he has turned it around.


He sussed out the refs and the poets right away and always defended us, it just never worked or looked like working out

Wasn't the right man or the right time but I am with you , he was onto the refs. and the mentally challenged bias from day one.

The main reason why the poet press rounded upon him .

 

[Gallowhillprod]

Aye decent bloke etc. Spent millions on utter pish then got a handsome pay off for being shite. Decent guy though. FFS

Welcome to professional football.
Being shite at your job doesn't make you a bad person imo.

 

[Klos the Boss]

Fair play to him. Has found his level

Wasn't the man for us but id suggest the Mexican game is a level or 2 above the spfl

 

[Coatbridge Chancellor]

Wasn't the man for us but id suggest the Mexican game is a level or 2 above the spfl

I'm not so sure. Considering Carlos Pena was once rated the best talent in the league.

 

[47blue]

I like Pedro,as a person. Pleased for him.

 

[Ashy]

Fair play to him. Has found his level

Yeah, a level above us and Scottish football.

 

[basiltherat]

Absolutely delighted for him
As others have noted there won't be much reporting in Scotland as it doesn't suit the racist, ignorant, bigoted agenda of the press pack here.
Despite the free fall of the national team down the ratings they still cling to "wha's like us" ignorant pish that foreigners know nothing about football
Hate them with a passion

 

[steve1873]

Yeah, a level above us and Scottish football.

A level above us? The guy shouldn't even have gotten in the door at the interview stage ffs!

 

[Davieloyal]

good luck to him well done but should have never been near us

 

[Ashy]

A level above us? The guy shouldn't even have gotten in the door at the interview stage ffs!

Why not?

 

[TPB90]

Good for him. His appointment was still a disaster that set us back a long way.

 

[Barrymoped]

Good luck to him, but to be fair, I couldn't care less how his career pans out or how it was prior to his arrival. At Rangers, he was an unmitigated disaster and that is all that will ever matter.

Agreed.

A nice guy he may be but he was absolutely honking when he was with us.

 

[steve1873]

Why not?

Because he had shown nothing in his career to suggest he was capable of bringing us success. Nor did he have the name to bring immediate respect. When we are appointing managers that pretty much none of us had heard of, then it isn't really a surprise when they are found wanting!

 

[Vader]

So, the trophy for the winners of the Apertura (the opening half of the season).

The Mexican league seems to have trophies for everything, so that no one is a loser.

 

[SuperGers07]

So this trophy is not a major one, not even a league cup one.

Just a trophy for doing well for half the season. Weird set up

 

[Axelrod]

He had a terrible start there aswell, fans throwing bottles at him etc and he has turned it around.


He sussed out the refs and the poets right away and always defended us, it just never worked or looked like working out

I’ll never forgive Kenny Miller for allowing the manager of Glasgow Rangers , Pedro , to be squared up to and jostled on the touchline by the ned Scott Brown , while he sat on the bench grinning and doing Fck all .

Pedro didn’t fit in Scottish football but he certainly wasn’t helped either .

 

[Arminius]

Genuinely pleased for him, but let's not get all misty eyed about Pedro's time with us.

I'll leave it at that, as I really don't want to de-rail this thread.

Congratulations, Pedro.

 

[Rodney Wallace]

He could win the world cup in Mexico for all the difference it makes.

Terrible Rangers manager who signed terrible players and oversaw some of the most terribly terrible results and performances in our entire history.

Also left a terrible dent in our finances.

And folk are wishing him well, jesus fuckin wept man.

Get in the bin.

 

[Oduwa]

The caravan is not merely continuing to move, its motoring.

 

[Luthgibear]

Well done Pedro!

Hounded by the rhat press pack here from day one....

 

[JayDee]

So, the trophy for the winners of the Apertura (the opening half of the season).

Maybe it's not a huge trophy (I'm not sure) but well done to him anyway.

 

[Gallant_Few]

Well done to him. Clearly has something about him only the media in this country are racist bastards and didn't give the man a minute to settle.

 

[TheMilster]

Was over the moon to see the back of him and honestly couldn’t care less what he does nowadays.
