(Takes me back to the Lerner era.) It would be a real cock up at this point. Hopefully we’ve not gone all Lernery at a critical moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fell out with senior players last time he was here. He will have to have matured since then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philosopher Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 All this Gerrard speculation is pissing me right off. While he was a player I rated as the best of the English CM's, as a manager he has done nothing to deserve the Villa job, and has zero connection with the club. Gerrard stay in Glasgow, or go back to Liverpool, in be anywhere except B6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciggiesnbeer Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I am having a hard time remembering Paul Merson when he was with us, so forgive the comment. But he comes across as less sharp then Lee Hendrie who also appears here. Bless em but this is Gabby level analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) 11 minutes ago, TheAuthority said: Nah - Houllier had tried to change the style far too fast for the squad we had who were in revolt against him for most of the season. Once McCallister was in charge he essentially reinstated the MON system from the year before. A Young went back out to the wing instead of playing "in the hole" where he'd been terrible and unproductive all season. (The speculation was GH played him there to try and bribe him to stay.) We eventually finished 9th but that league position flattered us as to how terrible most of it had been. I see similar happening again. Just have a bad feeling and Gerrard wont be experienced enough to fix it Edited November 9, 2021 by Zatman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awol Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Favre, Ten Hag, Potter, I’d be happy with any of them. But please, not Gerrard. We don’t deserve that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I quite like the idea of having McAllister here as no 2, I have good memories of him, gives a connection to the club and is a old wise head. I'm bordering on being mostly encouraged by him as no 2 if Gerrard comes here. They could be a good combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also thought he and Houllier had a "we are too good for you" air about them which I resented. Hopefully thats gone as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion yet we don't really know if he's coming or we are interested. Equally I dont see his appointment as nepotism, NSWE are smarter than that and would see past it. IF he's appointed, I think its because the club see him as a good candidate. One thing I do know is we are heavily data driven now and that will be a huge part. in any appointment.
