I don’t think he’s good enough. How irritating i find him is neither here nor there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it on good authority Dean Smith is a Tory and a regular down the local Conservative club. Doesn’t seem to bother people either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith had it all to learn when he came to the premier league and it's the reason we went on ropey spells. Why on earth would we get someone in who hasn't been through this before and we have no idea how they'll react to it, if we have the option? We may as well have stuck with Smith rather than take a massive gamble. Well at least we agree here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of people thought JT was a prick who shouldn't be involved with the club. Much like I imagine people will with Gerrard if he does get the job, people held their nose and got behind him even if they weren't enthusiastic in the first place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Eastie Posted November 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2021 Paul Merson: "If he (Steven Gerrard) can get a job like Aston Villa - wow. I don't see how many times jobs like this come up. I was fortunate enough to play for Aston Villa for four years, this is a big football club, a massive football club." 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 21 minutes ago, TrentVilla said: Well yes probably, they have to balance out the Nuno’s of this world. I just don’t think you can appoint managers with the expectancy of longevity or rather discount managers through an expectation it could be lacking. Yes there is a threat of losing Gerrard to Liverpool but for that to happen he will have to have been successful. I can live with that. I also think we have to be realistic in thinking any manager that comes in and is able to elevate us from mid table to top 6/8 is potentially likely to become of interest to other clubs. If we are looking for a good manager to come in and elevate us who we don’t fear the possibility of losing in a couple of years well that is going to be some damn fine recruitment from Purslow.

Johnnyp Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Can i ask, and don’t let the defence mechanisms kick in straight away here, why not dyche ? The boring football is such a lazy argument. It’s horses for courses. Don’t tell me he can’t work with good footballers. Cornet is flying it for him. Can guarantee you he’d sort our defence out and pronto. Dyche over Gerrard any day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Lot of talk from multiple sources that Gerrard had told rangers of his intention to take over as manager of Aston Villa - seems to be discussions regarding compensation on his staff 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious question - because my impression is they last longer than that on average, and we want a good one, don't we? (edit, obviously the play on words isn't the serious bit) Conte, Poch, Jose, AVB and Rogers all got sacked after a relatively short period of time.

Popular Post dont_do_it_doug. Posted November 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2021 Or the fact Pepe Reina was an actual fascist. I mean, we could go on and on with the hypocrisy of it all. As a grown adult I’m still a bit bemused by hating Gerrard as a person. I’m amazed so many of you have met him. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
