It was getting into Europe (Champions League) was the big thing for the coffers, getting dumped out of Europe is irrelevant. We do need investment in the squad though and buying players that aren't injury prone would be a refreshing start.
You get about £750k for every point made in the group stage, so crashing out in the style Rangers did obviously loses money no matter how much you got for qualification.
Where did all the Bassey money go? They've hardly spent it wisely - Colak was on a good run but seems to have gone off the boil, and the occassional goal from Tillman. Most of your goals are coming from Tavernier who must be coming up to retirement!! Your defence is porous without Bassey and Balogun (no, you can't have him back either), and very leggy.
The Rangers fans I know haven't been happy with Gio for a while, and it was only a matter of time before he was shown the door. It's a poisened chalice though as success is only measured against one other club (same for Celtic as well). Good luck with your hunt for a new manager, just keep away from W12
