CP- quote- Steven said I want proven winners- its that winning mentality- laughable now with Steven in charge and barely lays a glove on Leeds and Forest

So Gerrard at Villa was holding back Beale- he now has freedom to make the decisions.

Need a manager with at least one brain cell to recognise that though.

Please just about anybody but Stevie Southgate or Bruce. No more Steve's please

With the current manager- we will struggle to get 34 points this season- that's relegation

Think it is accurate to say we are the worse team in the premiership to watch.. I don't think I've watched a more boring team this season. It a combination of the worst of Bruceball/ Pulis anti football slop

We have no identity / no system,/ no style of play. We will get an almighty pummelling, by a team in the near future with this man in charge

We are soooooo f - in slow in our play

Gerrard will get sacked it's a 100% given- the fans are rarely wrong. We know what we see and whether there is progress being made. What we are doing now by sitting on our hands is mithering and wasting precious time. All those managers we sacked previously have never gone onto anything bigger- the same with apply with Gerrard. I wish our board were more assertive re managerial appointments. Poch is start to the way to the Holy Grail. So what if he gets poached in a year or two- it means he will have done well, developed our players , thus increasing their values. We very rarely have managers for longer than 3 years in anycase

Anyone but Stevie G or Gareth Southgate

Treading water with SG- no team identity , no style of play, boring to watch. We are a combo of the worst of Pulis and Bruceball- utter tripe!! SG is never in a million years going to be an elite manage. In fact I believe the Villa job will be his last job in the premiership. in the meantime ab opportunity like Poch sails by- frustrating as hell

Hnmm not so sure- Watford also sack managers at a rate of rapid-. If we can afford to spunk 15- 30 million on players, we then sell.for a pittance- how is a few million in severance pay unaffordable. We've always been too slow to react to underperformed managers and the rot properly sets in.

Is Tuchel better than SG- hell yeah!

Chelsea sack managers as soon as the results aren't right. Hasn't done them too much harm over the years. We hang on far to long for underperformed mangers They will now probably end up with Poch. Missed opportunity!!

Out! we've lost to a Bournemouth team that will be relegated. Lost to West Ham at home despite them being bottom of the table at the time. Got played off the park by Crystal Palace. Arsenal lucky to have only lost 2-1- 4-1 would have be a more reflective score for Arsenal. Scraped over the line against Everton at home. There is enough there to shoe SG isn't the man to take us forward

Poch Rodgers and Potter in that order . Would Poch come- course he would if the project is as exciting as we are led to believe. In the days of O'Neil we were.bigger than Spurs. they went forward we went backwards. Are.Potter and Rodgers a big upgrade on Stevei- hell yeah! So Poch , Rodgers and Potter as they are all significantly better than Stevie

Think I will.always remember Zaha kicked up a fuss to leave for Everton - about 2 seasons ago. Never happened and he is still at Palace. Ditto Suarez one season extra at Pool Ditto Mahrez and ended up staying at Leicester another 6 months. The club are in the driving seat. They don't need to sell and have a 4 yr contract- simple no to the offer- not for sale at any price

Cash , Or either of the left footed chaps McGinn or Targett for me.

OMG - statement signing- whoop.whoop

if Barkley comes and Jack gets injured for any period of time in the season- quite simply we are not screwed. This will prove to be such an astute signing

Barkley on so many levels is wanted. The added bonus will Barkley is that if Jack gets an injury we have out ready made replacement playmaker in Barkley

Barkley would be a stunning sign of intent. Make t happen please.

This rumour has more chance than Rashica. Percy has mentioned, we have the obvious Chelsea links. We have done loans with Chelsea last 2 seasons- although I wish we hadn't have gone the Drinkwater route. Think this is a goer and prefer Barkley all day over RLC, purely down to injury risk

Imagine Barkley- Super Jack and Traore all in the same starting 11. Offensively we will at times be unplayable. Make this happen!!

Conor will be a useful squad player. As a fanbase we need to realise that every player cannot be a nailed on starter- we are not yet Man City or Liverpool. So Conor, Trez and el Ghazi will become our 2nd string 11 and squad players. They can all do a job. Westwood and Enda Stevens despised on the forums are still performing for teams that placed higher than Villa last season. Connor is better than Westwood
