England will need a manager shortly ... and Gio COULD take penalties!International football possibly
No but I also didn’t think we would go down in history as the worst ever team to grace the Champions League. There has been plenty of smaller teams in difficult groups over the years yet we managed to outdo them all.
His tactical awareness got us through tough ties. Him changing it vs leipzig second half was particularly shrewd.
He will do well at the right club. A club where draws are good results. Rangers didnt fit him and his style.
Bit harsh to rule him out of any managers job.
This... All day long.Shouldn't be near a managers job
He probably has about 20mill in the bank, so don't worry about him. I am judging that on Dutch media articles before China and Rangers, where he was judged to have 13mil, It is not something I am making up. From 13 to 20 I am guessing on his pay-offs.He's only been out of work a short time but has he been linked to any clubs yet?
Although he was sacked, there's got to be some decent teams who will look at his European record and take notice you would think.
That’s hilariousTechnical Director with the Dutch FA and assistant to Koeman at some point.
I reckon he might even succeed Koeman in that job.
Tesco ?Shouldn't be near a managers job
Why the hell could he not do that domestically? It’s like he was scared to change things up against dross like Motherwell and St Johnstone.
The whole injury excuse is used far too often. He seen us embarrassed by Celtic last season and he chucked a 6 point lead when we had pretty much a full squad. Lost 19 more points than Celtic since he came in and that’s not down to injuries.It's different tweaking a formation against a team playing football and leaving gaps to one refusing to move out from their own box and kick ball long.
One Injuries kicked in there really wasn't much to work with.
Take away the performance and manager.
Lawrence has actually been the biggest miss for us tbh After first few weeks I would have bet he would already be in double figures
Player who shoots from anywhere outside the box or gets into good positions to score.
I think gio had to go but he was only a part of the problem once injuries mounted up we should have tried to be more solid as a team until grind out results.
Should have better managed the squad playing time. Though the bank up players really arnt good enough
Cl let's be honest we needed points but reality is we should have defended and hit on break........ against Liverpool up until goldson injury we were holding out own after that we should have protected king more and shut space down once it went to 3 we should have just called in our box....... still not sure if that was players or gio tbh.
Wow ..trust me fella , i went right off Gio and his fairy tactics the night we got bent over 3-0 at the piggery . Never in my life have i seen such a weak willed and spineless display from a Gers team at that cesspit . Then came the 4-0 humiliation too . We played like fairys . At least Beale will put some fight back into us . Onwards n upwards .Straight from the Declan's mouth.
Only one of them would have such class.
Not saying it is the full issue but it is a factorThe whole injury excuse is used far too often. He seen us embarrassed by Celtic last season and he chucked a 6 point lead when we had pretty much a full squad. Lost 19 more points than Celtic since he came in and that’s not down to injuries.
There was absolutely nothing to suggest Gio was capable of winning the league with a full squad.
Yup ..and he had us playing like wee fairys too . Beale will put some fighting spirit back into us !Wee fairy you say.
On paper he done well with Feyenoord yet ended up in China.

His stock will be low, crap stint in china, sacked by us. Don’t expect to see him in a job any time soon
This all day long . The late great Jock Wallace always growled about “character” . Gio had all the character of a wet-wipe and showed that mhob far too much respect . I dont get why some fans think hes a Gers legend ..he vanished in his final season under Advocaat .The whole injury excuse is used far too often. He seen us embarrassed by Celtic last season and he chucked a 6 point lead when we had pretty much a full squad. Lost 19 more points than Celtic since he came in and that’s not down to injuries.

Uncalled for.McDonalds
We had no gutless performances against the mhob at any venues under Gerrard & Beale , we had their number and they knew it . We went to the piggery scared under Gio …no heart , fight or character . Even Souness finally admitted he was wrong in his denial how important this fixture is .Wasn't Beale there when a garbage 10 men Malmo pished all over us and St Mirren, St Johnstone, Aberdeen (twice) and a soon to be relegated Hearts papped us out cups?
Those performances were pretty spineless.
Pretty sure he was there when our season twice collapsed after New Year too mate.
The piggery resuls were unacceptable and Gio deserved criticism for that, however there's no need for the personal abuse of a manager who took us to a European Final, financially stabilised our football club with the revenue he generated last season and this season.
Let's not forget the first SC win since 2009 too.
55 was a massive achievement, but let's not forget celtic were an absolute shambles and were their worst team in modern times.
We beat 2 very good sides to qualify for the CL and after last season's CL failure, that shouldn't be forgotten.
Gio moving on is the correct decision, but let's not rewrite history, where Gerrard and Beale are concerned.
There were plenty of gutless performances under them.

Gios record against them is atrocious and indefensible .
He was tipped to take over after the World Cup as national boss earlier this week.
Fair enough ..Gio didnt have to start from scratch like Gerrard though . Gio also took over with a 4pt lead but we totally fkd the title race up . As much as we enjoyed the buzz of the Euro run ..if you gave me a choice of a Euro final loss or another league flag i would go for the league flag every time .Tbh, I actually thought Gio had got their number, after running over the top of them in extra time in the SC Semi and being unlucky not to beat them in the 1-1 game at the piggery.
However, this season's gubbing showed that he hadn't learnt anything and that was inexcusable.
That said, his first season was way more successful than either of Gerrard's first 2.
