  1. Don’t worry my friend there is much banter on here but no need to take things to heart - your comments are as welcome as anyone else , there will always be knockers mate, don’t let it put you off , we are a friendly bunch
  2. That could be said of several academy players though
  3. I’d be relatively pleased , not sure I’d go as far as highly delighted though .
  4. What do you mean by someone will make the first team one day ?
  5. Interesting to see how he handles Ryan Fraser a man who’s refusal to play after lockdown and effectively strike probably cost the their place in the league
  6. Gerrard by miles - potter or gerrard =potter . The like of Howe or Martinez would not cut it at villa
  7. Gerrard is not stupid enough to be seen at villa park before any official announcement is made and neither are the people running the club - he will be in a Starbucks at star city with purslow wearing his stevie g cap
  8. Mainly in football you target your main man , find out if he’s interested and then set out to attain him - talk of interviews and Martinez , hassenhuttl, and the danish guy is all very fanciful but pie in the sky - very few managers in a job go through the interview process on a shortlist . Purslow would have been well aware that he he could get gerrard before sacking smith . my first choice would have been potter and I think he may have been gettable but Gerrard is fine by me .
  9. Would I have traded smith for Gerrard ? Yep without doubt - agree with you
  10. I’ve been watching villa 45 years and luckily in That time never seen a manager poached by a bigger club
  11. The interesting thing here is it seems very much purslow chasing his man , wasn’t Lange supposed to be the man in that role or is his remit only involving player incomings ?
  12. I’ve seen no one calling for smiths head from day one - yes he had criticism at times and rightly so but he was given praise too when deserving of it - Gerrard same as any manager will be judged on performances and results .
  13. If you believe that we’ve not even had talks with gerrard then more fool you - do you really expect the club to go public until all parties are happy - it will be revealed soon enough
  14. Wasn’t It sheff weds who paid newcastle to take him
  15. Won’t be that high for Gerrard , doubt that high for him and his staff combined .
  16. Think rangers will reluctantly admit defeat today
  17. Yep I think players will know they are on a good thing here at villa and if they want to stay here they will need to perform or be shipped out - very few players here will get better club than this
