Boateng is currently U23 coach. It was every bit as bad as the Keane Haaland tackle. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that Henry was so inexperienced drives the point home more. I'm just wary of falling into the trap of being enamoured by young, promising coaches, especially those who come from a significantly weaker league than ours and want to highlight that at this point in our progress, I don't think we can put too much stock in potential. Maybe I'm still scarred by Paul Lambert, I don't know One of the things for me is that the team I follow in Sweden(Malmö FF) are on the same level as Rangers and the league is close. But I don't see any sugestions of us appointing Malmö manager Jon Dahl tomasson. Malmö did beat Rangers in CL too so success in Europe is something Tomasson have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is shit but it was a kid that lost his head. Keane was an experience pro that did a pre-mediated revenge attack. Massive difference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, there was a bloke stood ten feet from it who said George Boateng had made a meal of it and was a "good actor". We had him as manager. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoobs Posted November 9, 2021 Visiting Supporter Share Posted November 9, 2021 18 minutes ago, Steero113 said: Sorry, how much better does he need to do to upgrade from adequate??? Ended Celtics dominance, stopped the rot at Rangers, 40 game unbeaten streak, unbeaten 102 point season (1st title in forever), beat a number of quality teams in Europe on a relatively minor budget... adequate... And it wasn’t just the results that were impressive. Rangers had a real identity about them. A clear style of play. As I said earlier, a mirror image of how Liverpool set up and play with less talented players obviously. What struck me about Rangers was how hard they worked to get the ball back once it had been lost. Both in Scotland and in Europe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I’m bored of arguing about Gerrard now. If it’s him all good, I’m behind him. If it isn’t then so be it. Hope we appoint somebody soon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurru991 Posted November 9, 2021 Visiting Supporter Share Posted November 9, 2021 10 minutes ago, useless said: Rangers were a shambles when Gerrard took over, to try and say he hasn't done well with them is just silly and very naive to think just anyone could have done the job he's done, and again when he went there they weren't the Rangers of old he had to get them back to that status. Also I'm guessing there's a very strong possibility that most of the people accusing the Scottish Premier League of being League Two standard or whatever have never watched a Scottish Premier League, and probably not a League Two game. He's done a good job in Scotland, he's been impressive that's just the way it is, whether that's enough for him to get the Villa job I don't know, but this idea that anyone could have achieved what he has with Rangers comes across as ignorance and misplaced arrogance. And I'm not particularly for him. I do watch Scottish Football (retired & bored) & it really is quite poor overall. It is a 12 team league with 8 of those teams being not very good so Rangers & Celtic get to play those 8 teams at least three times. Definitely lower Championship or upper League One level. Gerrard did well to win the league but it really isn't that great an achievement . Definitely not enough to warrant a Premier League job. He could prove me wrong but it's a gamble regardless.

Whoever it is I will back despite my feelings on whoever it is (good or bad) before they are appointed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCollins29 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Gerrard, if appointed, may do gfeat, may be terrible. I'll back him regardless. The most dissapointing thing is that this whole thing smacks of Purslow helping his mate get an audition for the plop job. I dont think AVFC features as the priority here at all.

jim Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 1 hour ago, smg said: How long before the Gerrard out gang start up on here ? Anything short of European qualifying form in the first 6 matches and the knives will be out and we will back to where we were last week with Dean on here. I actually think it is impossible to find a manager who would be universally accepted. Ten Haag is the dream of many, but it’s only that, we are not that attractive to foreign managers having a run in the Champions League, despite the fact we won in 1982. Whoever it is there is going to be disappointment. Whoever comes in is on a hiding to nothing in the eyes of a childish few, because they are not Dean Smith. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Can someone summarise the last 150 pages please? I must admit I feel a bit disconnected with the club at the minute so haven't read anything in great detail for a couple of days or so Are we anywhere near appointing anyone? Any strong rumours? I see Gerrard was mentioned on the BBC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting if the level of negativity has reached Teal. Then you can bet Purslow and Gerrard himself are aware of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Davkaus Posted November 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2021 I see a lot more complaints about a mysterious cabal of people who won't accept anyone but Dean Smith than I see examples of such posters. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
