Yeah sorry, I'm not predicting a disaster. I was more thinking of Sherwood in terms of a manager with little experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Hartson (I dunno either) has got you covered! he hasnt signed yet! But the Scottish daily record are saying he this afternoon Hartson backtracked and now accepts he was wrong and gerrard is going after all - rather embarrassing Edited November 10, 2021 by Eastie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I think it is valid to be extremely critical of those 6 toed, knuckle dragging, brain farts from Small Heath who deserve nothing but contempt. To be hyper critical they an abhorrence to mankind with an aversion to soap who engender the most base instincts of loathing. But of course not hate, just constructive criticism for the brain dead morons. I think you’ll agree that’s more than fair criticism? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have Villa ever had a manager with less experience? Or even the Rangers job as his first ever job in management. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I think Steven has been seduced by the vision for the club just like many players seem to be. Its without doubt that in the space of a season we have gone from lots of pundits second favourite team to watch to be completely forgotten about again. The perception is that we are happy just to avoid relegation and that the likes of Everton West Ham and Leicester are run on a completely different financial footing and are far more ambitious. And that Newcastle is a far bigger job with all their resources. We do a shit job of keeping the medias attention now Greal has gone and Gerrard will defo heighten our profile again. I am starting to get very excited by this appointment and will support him to the hilt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will force them to look abroad for most of their signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has his limitations, but we've missed that aspect of his game when we've been too open this season. Buendia was meant to be a grafter allied to his attacking abilities. But seen very little of that so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick76 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 So I’m on this journey as I said early but a few comical things enter my mind. I’ll be very intrigued to see the pre match thread comments if he started 3 at the back and Ings and Watkins as the front two against Brighton. I know he prefers 433 but let me put out there the hypothetical. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 This managerial saga has been good for me as Im due a knee replacement next week and this has helped take my mind of it all - will be sad to see the thread close . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
