ozvillafan Posted November 9, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 9, 2021 Houllier had strips torn off him when we visited Anfield and the media love-in didn't help. I'm not in the habit of intentionally missing games - but if it's Gerrard at the helm, I'll give that one a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Funny how Purslow having a prior decent relationship with Gerrard is depicted as a bad thing/favours for mates, rather than a huge positive that leads to better judgement and intel aswell as making it easier to convince him to come. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that just seals it that Gerrard isn’t coming to Villa. He admitted that because he couldn’t do a better job than obviously Smith he wouldn’t take it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Good old Stevie kickin em up the arse" - I hope SG has more in his locker than that. Yep sometimes its needed but after you say it weekly it gets boring 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's that work then ? I think villa want a name. and it looks like Stevie is that name. I don't think them being at pool at the same time has much to do it.

But who is claiming that, that is literally farming a weird agenda out of nothing, Purslow can't and won't act alone without oversight, this jobs for mates guff is laughable. I don't particularly even want Gerrard but making out he has been given an unfair advantage is just dog waffle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted November 9, 2021 Moderator Share Posted November 9, 2021 I have been lucky enough to meet Mr Purslow on a few occasions. I can quite honestly say that if there's a word I wouldn't associate with him it's sentimental. If he's looking at Gerrard because of their former relationship, it's because he's seen enough in that relationship to believe that Gerrard can do the job. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mate, he just wants to help his best chum get a leg up on his way to the Liverpool job, Purslow and Gerrard have no interest in Villa or our success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
