Home game against them was pretty annoying as well. 27 shots to 6 and finished 0-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that people are underestimating his status in the game. He has never failed at anything. That’s another point, all the youth players will want to sign for Villa because growing up for them Gerrard was iconic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted November 9, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 9, 2021 33 minutes ago, NeilS said: Yeah I agree. I have long given up trying to predict who would be a good managerial appointment over the years. I remember Southampton were mad to bring in some unknown Argentinian manager after they sacked Adkins who got them promoted and had sealed their relegation, I recall thinking Leicester were also certain for relegation after hiring an Italian journeyman who had failed during his management of Greece at international level, I recall reading Moyes was a busted flush after failed stints at Man Utd and in Spain. I think sometimes as fans we tend to concentrate on the fails rather than the successes when we view potential managerial candidates so we only see the potential pit falls. I personally have no idea anymore who would be a good manager for us, all I know is there are no guarantees of success or failure. Sometimes someone is just a good fit at that moment in time at that certain club. This is the first real proper test of the NSWE ownership, they haven't let us down in the past, lets hope they do a good job this time and get behind whoever they put in charge. Yep, and many would literally cream their pants at the prospect of Mourinho despite flopping in his last several appointments. There is no telling why managers succeed and fail.

rjenkins Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 With the rumours about the potential appointment of Gerrard gathering momentum, I asked some friends I know with a better knowledge of Scottish football than me for their opinions of him. I'm in a Madden league with two Rangers fans and an Aberdeen fan. Here is what they thought: Aberdeen Fan: He was fortunate that Celtic imploded when they did and won the Covid asterik season. He's done a decent job with them overall. Rangers Fan 1: He's not a tactical genius, but I'd imagine he's a good motivator based on how he conducts himself. His name could help you attract players as that's what has happened here. Rangers Fan 2: He's been here 3 years and I still don't know if he's that good or not. What I would say is that Rangers have progressed every year under him (until this season, but last year's unbeaten season and 100+ points set the bar high). He has a good European record, especially at home (again, until this season) Things I don't like about him is that he can be slow to make subs or change tactically and that I think he is overly loyal to players who could do with getting dropped from time to time. It's just some opinions from random fans, but they've watched a lot more Scottish football than I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I dont like the man personally same as i didn't like Martin O Neill or John Terry. He would need to do a lot to win me around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be a top 6 club able to cherry pick from some of the best managers in the world. Also, the average tenure for a Premier League manage is just 2 years anyway.

villabromsgrove Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 If Ranger's players work as hard as Scottish supporters are indicating then that would be a real (SG) plus. Our fitness and energy has become woeful over the last few months. A 90 minute concerted midfield press after a few weeks of real hurt on the training pitch would improve us considerably.
