Because a couple of posters claiming to be ‘ITK’ who obviously aren’t. It could still be Gerrard but I wouldn’t say anyone here has solid info.

Popular Post HanoiVillan Posted November 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2021 The people suggesting this Ten Hag guy need to get real, might as well suggest Pep while you're at it. Obviously we're not going to be appointing a manager who's currently tearing shit up in the Champions League, get a grip. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 The unique relationship we as Villa fans have/had with Smith will not be replicated in the next manager appointment. So whoever the next manager is will get my support ......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could we maybe just get Five Hag? Edited November 7, 2021 by maqroll 3 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the point in Lange if we just go for such an uninspired ex player who knows the CEO? I’m not having a go but we’re not going to get a manager who doesn’t have an element of “shot in the dark” about them. You could easily say Moyes was a shot in the dark, I doubt anyone expected him to do so well at West Ham. Similarly Brendan Rogers has surprised a few after coming back down from Celtic. An established manager from a top European league gets a top 6 job, unfortunately that’s not us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjenkins Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) I've probably watched 2 Rangers games on Sky since Gerrard became their manager, so I'm not going to pretend to have an informed opinion on his abilities. If he's the choice he'll get my support. What I won't have is people claiming he single-handedly won the CL for Liverpool in 2005 when we all know it was Didi Hamann coming on at half time that changed the game Edited November 7, 2021 by rjenkins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same bloke who learnt his trade in the swedish league? It seems strange that a bloke with what two years at Brighton and half a season at Swansea is the right man for Villa. But if you think of Villa as a small club youll get a small manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are candidates that are more known quantities with greater records of success out there. Favre, Fonseca, even Koeman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeVillan Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I'm not sure why some of you are against appointing SG as manager simply because he would move on to Liverpool as soon as he could. Can any of you name a top manager that thinks Villa is his endgame? We are a stepping stone club, sooner we realise that the better. I'm more than willing to give Gerrard a chance. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Phil Silvers Posted November 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2021 SG is not a Dean Smith upgrade, if we are letting Dean go because we are ambitious and then appointment SG, I'd be concerned about about our decision making. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1974Centenary Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Can we agree that Dean Smith is not bigger than the club? He was sacked because of the direction we were heading and it wasnt fun anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
