Popular Post HKP90 Posted November 9, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2021 2 minutes ago, useless said: Gerrard's name is working against him not for him in this thread, if he was some unknown from somewhere like Denmark and had gone into Rangers and turned them around ending Celtic's dominance, finishing on 102 points last season, the third highest in the history of the Scottish Premier League, whilst playing good football, having a reputation for being good tactically, and getting some impressive results in Europe, people would be a lot more open to the idea. But because it's Gerrard and people have an hatred of Liverpool, they can't see past that, I also think that there's an element of people unfairly banding him alongside other famous footballers from a similar era that have gone into football management and failed or deemed to have failed. Sorry I just don't agree with this at all. Lack of experience in a decent league, Scottish, Danish, wherever is absolutely a perfectly justifiable, rational and unemotional reason to have doubts about Gerrard. Most of the european names mentioned and discussed on here have got good records at good european leagues. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. Whilst fans would still be sceptical they wouldn’t be so against it. I think the fact he was such a good player is a massive bonus. Players will look up to him. How can you not?

Jas10 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 4 hours ago, The Fun Factory said: Gerrard may become a good coach but if he comes to us he will be constantly linked to the Liverpool job which will be incredibly annoying all the time. Either that and he will get sacked within the year and become a pundit with all of his mates. It is a lose-lose situation. From “John Terry’s Aston Villa”, to Jack Grealish FC to Stevie G FC FFS The constant media circus and frenzy is going to be sickening, I’d rather we didn’t live in subservience to Liverpool or any club for that matter. Can we get someone who can give us pride and focus on Aston Villa FC please? Implement a passing game and make us comfortable on the ball? No hoofball, no long throws? Appointing Gerrard could be a complete disaster, there really isn’t much to suggest or guarantee that he would do well here. Certainly not an ambitious appointment, very underwhelming in all honesty. He’s managed in a piss poor league with piss poor players, what experience does he have in terms of managing in a competitive league with a high standard or profile of player? The guy almost exclusively relies on his assistant (Beale) and is very much hands off when it comes to coaching. Not encouraged at all and very much hope this is all a smokescreen. Of course, whoever comes in will be backed (what choice do we have?). We had to back Alex f*****g McLeish for crying out loud, those were dark days indeed. I just hope we know what we are doing and whoever comes in can be a success… but I’m really discouraged right now. I don’t see where this so called ambition is, I’m hoping to be surprised… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it's what I said at all, but you are right, you can't automatically say they are a better appointment. But the fact that they have done it in the past at a higher level means that there is more evidence that they are a better appointment, and less risk that they are not.
