Big Salad

If Liverpool deems him good enough to get the job down the road then that means he was very succesful here so win-win. So if or when that happens I doubt I'll give a ****.

Oh I agree pal as I said above as that is pretty extreme to want him to fail just because you dislike him. Same goes for any sports team you support. Hornets are my NBA team but I really dislike LeBron James. If they signed him would I want him to flop and be detrimental to the success of the team? Of course not. You can not like the guy and still hope he does well because it means your team is doing well.

Oh ok I didn't see those posts but yes I agree that is extreme just because they dislike the dude. I dislike him but as I said I want him to win here because it means we are.

I don't see how saying you don't 100% agree with or like the hire means you don't support the team. That shows we care about the team because we are concerned with the hire. For those in the unenthusiastic about this hire camp as I am just want the best for Villa, have no personal vendetta against Gerrard, and I am quite sure we all want him to prove us wrong. I want him to succeed because it means we are succeeding. It just does my head in when somebody doesn't agree or back every single thing a club does, it automatically means we don't support the club. That's just ridiculous. Again I sincerely hope he does prove a lot of people wrong and I support him in doing so, but will have my reservations until that happens.

What players can we get on loan from Liverpool in Jan?

Welcome pal to the best club in England. Prove us doubters(Myself included) wrong! UTV

Apparently it is basically done so he has my full support. Still have my reservations but of course hopefully they are all for naught. Make it so SG. UTV

I am resigning myself to the fact that Gerrard is more than likely going to be the new man in charge. I am not enthused about the prospect at all as I have said more than once in this thread. I don't cliam to be psychic or have a great football mind, but I just don't think he will work out well here just a gut feeling. Obviously I want him to because I love Villa and we need a new direction, just didn't think it would be him. I just simply don't like the dude, think he is a prick, and I still haven't really read or heard anything that makes me think he will be great here. But also yes I know that maybe our players need a kick up their asses and someone who will get in their faces; Gerrard deffo seems like he would have no problems doing that. I don't really dwell on the fact that he might see us a stepping stone to better things(i.e. Liverpool) but I do think that will be true to a certain extent sure. Regardless of all these things he will have my support and of course I hope I am wrong if he is the man going forward. Think there are better fits for us out there, but I obviously don't make those kinds of decisions. Just have to keep the faith in those in charge and that means Gerrard if he does get the nod. UTV.

Can someone in the pro Gerrard camp convince me why they think he would be a good appointment?

Fair enough for you pal; I just can't even get remotely excited about the prospect of Gerrard.

Gerrard will be a terrible hire. Bookmark this post if you must I don't really care, but that hire if it happens does not inspire any confidence in me what so ever.

My grief counselor died yesterday. But luckily for me she was so good at her job that I don't give a ****.

I'd like to solve the mystery of who's been letting their dog crap all over my back deck

I'll support whoever gets the job but really none of the ones being talked about getting the job really inspire much confidence. Maybe I'm just hard to please.

For this year, I am just going to do way more online shopping than I normally do. Have already took care of several people in my family this way by getting them gift cards as I think that is just easier because really don't know what they want and/or need.Will put up the tree here in a couple weeks, and am looking forward to having some family over. Not really the gifts for me, more just spending time with those people who are most important to me.

No I just think he's a prick

Gerrard will just use as a stepping stone. I don't want a guy here who will always have an eye on the next big thing. We need someone fully committed to us.

Can someone explain to me why they think Gerrard would be a good hire? I'm waiting.

I'll support him of course, but tbh I would not be enthused with the Gerrard hire whatsoever if that is who he go with.

Most important decision Villa have made in the past two decades. Please get it right.

I saw it coming but really didn't want it to happen quite yet because of what Dean has done for this club. Its like Grealish in that no one is bigger than the club. So, just appreciate for what have you done for the club Dean and we move on. Hopefully, they have a good candidate in mind who can get us out of this funk. UTV

2 million and three camels or they can GTFO.

Let us just be blunt here: I love John, but he is not Prem standard anymore.Period.
