    I think @DaveAV1 has been reading the Liverpool Echo for research.

    If he coaches half as well as he interviews, we’ll be golden

    Finally watched Dune, albeit on HBO Max. Very good. I love the whole epic, big universe, slow build thing, so this fit me like a glove. Only minus for me was not watching it on the big screen - a very good looking film that deserves to be watched in cinemas.

    And, from everything I’ve seen and heard, I really f***ing good guy.

    Welcome! It might just work, this. Certainly raises our profile and brings some attention.

    Contract length is an even smaller concern than compo fee. It doesn’t matter. I guess it’s welcome onboard, Steve Gerrard. It’s going to take some time getting used to, but hey, I’m willing to give him a chance, and can find reasons to be cautiously optimistic about this.
  7. El Zen
    Agreed 100 per cent. Good post.

    It’s at least very, very common for managers to have players they trust, who will play when available because they understand their roles and help ‘coach’ the other players tactically on the pitch.

    I’m not 100 per convinced Gerrard is definitely the right man for the gig, but a 7m compo is the absolute least of my concerns. A relative drop in the ocean of money that is modern football. Any new manager wouldn’t have to meet much more than a minimum of expectations long term to justify a 7m investment.

    You really don’t like Stevie G then
  11. El Zen
    Well, that sure means a lot.

    I wouldn’t write Gerrard off. He’s a winner, apparently plays good football, and I like Gary Mac as a coach if he brings him with him. It might work, even if I might have prefered a more proven option if available.

    Classy statement, as expected. Still feel like crap about this.

    Just to play cool, I’m going to ask @Eastie not to pm me. Thanks.

    Dude has worked miracles up there, but that would be a massive gamble, and one I’m not sure I’d be prepared to make.

    Same here. I absolutely love Deano but Lineker is wide off the mark.
  19. El Zen
    Absolutely gutted for him. It may be the right and necessary move for the club, but I take no joy in this. I have absolutely nothing but love, respect and gratitude to him. Dean Smith is a Villa legend.

    To be fair, only one player on the pitch ran more than Buendia in the first half. I don’t disagree he should be able to last closer to the full 90 mins, though there are mitigating circumstances, but it’s not fair to say he ‘hardly moved’ before half time.
  21. El Zen
    Fair question. He might not. But I’d like think we’re big enough to be able to persuade a Brighton manager to join us.
  22. El Zen
    He was literally priceless and irreplacable.

    You’d be mad not to at least consider Potter: The man is clearly a very good coach and has a good football brain. However, part of me instinctively feels we need a manager with a bit more gravity in the game, someone who top players would want to come play for, someone the media would write about, someone who would raise our profile. I have no idea who that would be, mind you.
  24. El Zen
    Agreed 100 per cent.

    You’re clearly new to the place.
