If we’d been able to put our current management team in place when we appointed him I think there’s a better than fair chance we would just have won the league. We are also still paying for his duds and will continue to do so for some time (this has also had a knock on effect on what Gerrard and his team have had available to spend, as did his european debacle and having to pay him and his team off). Pedro very obviously hamstrung our progress on the pitch and financially by his mismanagement. Fair enough if you can’t see it. I don’t like to insult fellow bears, but you call me stupid? Wow.
Well yes, because you are coming across as such.
Firstly, you say if we had the management team in place sooner.
We all know for a fact that wasn't happening as Gerrard wasn't prepared to leave Liverpool before his contract expired so that rips up your fantasy league winning scenario right away.
I take it in posting that, you are completely ignoring the whole Mcinnes debacle?
If we'd got the management team in place straight after Caixinha then it was Wee Deek and his mentally challenged pal, Steven Gerrard wouldn't even have been mentioned.
You reckon we might have won the league?
How could we have done that with Pedro's duds still getting paid?
I am of course referring to players like Morelos, Candeias and Jack who are conveniently ignored when we're ripping the guy who signed them.
Again, you stick by the claim that he's set us back years and insist we're hamstrung financially.
This in spite of us hiring an entirely new management team with specialist coaches, signing players like McGregor, Arfield, Davis and Defoe on big wages and spending millions on Katic, Goldson, Barisic and Grezda.
Pedro's net spend was £6m, in Morelos we have one player he signed who we'll sell for double that at least.
That alone destroys the idea of us being financially weakened. If that was the case we'd have sold him when the Chinese club showed an interest.
It seems to me that your biggest hang up, and entire basis of your argument is that he signed Pena and Herrera who turned out to be duds.
It's being very selective at best when you consciously ignore his good signings.
Our history is littered with guys like those two, Rozental, Guivarc'h, Kanchelskis, Prodan. Players who cost us a fortune for not much in return.
If we apply your logic, every Rangers manager in my lifetime has 'set us back years'.
