I would much prefer it if we sorted the DM/MC issues, and maybe even some defensive frailties in Jan, if possible, with the money we have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope some don't turn on him as quickly as they did Smith. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelle Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Being ever the optimist I have to say I'm quite concerned about Gerrard. I can't see the reason to sack DS just to appoint a very inexperienced Steven Gerrard. I wanted DS to go on, but when he was sacked I'd expected someone more experienced. Truth to be told, there wasn't any really mouth watering realistic manager to go for, except for maybe Ten Hag or Fonseca. Ten Hag would be my choice, but maybe that's not realistic. But being me also has it's pros as I always hope for the best, and when it comes to Gerrard, IF he's the one, then I hope that he will turn out really great for us. Be the new Pep, kind of. I always have doubts when it comes to former great players turning to managing clubs. There are too many failing, especially english players. But maybe this time we get it right. I think Purslow is putting his job on the line here with this appointment, but if it's a success... Well, then his job is secured. Let's hope he knows what he's doing. I don't buy this "He's worked under a few good managers and should've learned from them" or "He was a winner as a player which would spill over to the players" or "He was a great midfielder so he should be able to learn our midfielders this or that". It seldom works that way. It's not only knowing how, it's to teach how. To motivate. To pick the right team. Does he have those abilities? I don't know, but we'll see in the future. Let's hope so, as most reports points to him being our new m,anager. But it will defintely feel weird to sing his name in praise. Really weird. And wrong. But it worked with Terry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I think players will know they are on a good thing here at villa and if they want to stay here they will need to perform or be shipped out - very few players here will get better club than this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno, but people are always coming on here saying what massive international fan base Rangers have. Those differences in figures are also reflected on Instagram too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the echo chamber since then appears to be working in overload. Bookies just change the odds because money is being put on it, nothing more complicated than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sweaty on talkSPORT said you can go to any city in the world and find a Rangers pub, His example was Australia and he said that you would never find a Villa in a pub in AustraliaThis makes them a much bigger club apparently 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
