What I will say, I wouldn't be too dissapointed with this guy if it is to be him, but I think a few on here will be against it. He will need to hit the ground running. It’s Warnock isn’t it ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

International football is hardly a taxing full time job. For the right manager I would not have a problem with this. Its not like we will ever have a game on when there is an international on and most of our players would be on international duty anyway so they wouldn't miss training Not sure if there's precedent for it, not at this kind of level anyway I know you can do it on games but I can't remember it ever actually happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a huge red flag I wouldn't. I would prefer Gerard as manager and JT and Lamps coaches rather than get reglegated 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WakefieldVillan Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 First thought was that it will be Nuno, no real reason just a gut feeling. But if the new manager is already employed that rules him out. Not convinced with many of the names linked hence why I'd have stuck with Smith. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted November 7, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 7, 2021 I despise Gerrard, backdating to the Barry transfer fiasco. I'd be thinking about selling my season ticket if he became our manager. I'm well aware this post will probably come back to bite me on the arse one day. If you thought Houllier returning to Anfield with us ('I didn't mind us losing 3-0 to Liverpool') was bad, this will be thatx100 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM3000 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I do not want Gerrard. I spent so long hating Steve Bruce because I knew his style of football wasn't going to progress us, he made me hate watching Villa for ages. I didn't hate Bruce when he joined even though I thought he was an awful manager. I hate Gerrard with a passion and I'm not prepared to see another Villa manager go to Anfield and have the home fans signing his name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Griffin Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 3 minutes ago, tomav84 said: this isn't football manager. it's impossible to do both jobs you think PL managers are sat around with their trotters up during intl breaks? no they're working on the training ground with the players left (which is quite a few in our case) and scouting upcoming opposition videos etc Of course he could double job for the rest of the season. How many international breaks are, 2 or 3? and the majority of our 1st team would be away on intl duty and the coaches could cover. It is a suggested interim solution not a long term one. Managers that have managed club and country in the past include: Hiddink, Sir Alex, Advocaat, Terim, Herrera, Rinus Michels and Slutsky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I just feel I’m going to be bitterly disappointed with the next managerial appointment. I hope I’m wrong but just got a bad feeling! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
