Nabby Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 That Percy article is confusing , untill the last Paragraph it would all point to him being sacked then it goes on to say no desire to replace him.. The only desire not to replace him comes from Purslow who should also be shown the door for SG appointment and the **** of a transfer policy post Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying the club approved it but I doubt Percy would want to upset the hierarchy too much. When trusted journalists write articles as critical as this one, it’s fair to say the end is near. Perhaps not as near as we’d like but close enough. Vote of confidence time? I agree. Come here to write the very same thing. Percy has either been tipped to write this or he’s taking a very big risk in being one of the go to Journalists. Our situation stinks.

I’d say so yes, but although almost inevitable that we lose the next two, I think the manner of the defeats may have a baring as to if he lasts that long.

Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 The article is a little worrying... It seems as though we are happy to take a hit and a beating in the next two games just for Gerrard to miraculously get a flukey win against Leicester to save his skin. The damage is done and is continuing to be done on a daily basis so it seems with Bailey making noises. Who next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It came across on tv like everyone was in unison. It wasn’t the whole ground, not anywhere near it. Most people were just grumbling and pissed off. But it was a sizeable amount and I’d say it was more aimed at Gerrard than the players. I wonder if they turned the mics up for the tv. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players/ staff then his own observations and then the Purslow slant re a few more games and deserving more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Ok. Who’s on the phone to talkSPORT now saying that Gerrard should be given more time and that we need to remember where we’ve come from? Why does where we’ve come from have anything to do with where we want to be? The owners have a vision and aren’t tempering their ambitions because we used to be shitter than we are now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post useless Posted August 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2022 That Percy article should be music to the ears of anyone who wants Gerrard sacked, he's spelling out everything that's going wrong at the moment, and this is from a journalist who is well connected to the club, he probably wouldn't write anything to jeopardize that relationship, the club have curisouly allowed him to publish that article, it's them knowing that Gerrard is going to sacked, so are letting reading public know why so there isn't a backlash against their decision. The stuff about his job not being in danger and there being no desire to replace him is just because they know he's not going to leave in the next few days, behind the scenes they will be sorting out a new manager, ignore those lines out of context and read the whole article as an whole and it's obvious this is the beginning of the end for him. Percy writing that he deserves more time is also just an afterthought to balance the article out so it isn't all negative that part is his opinion so doesn't really matter, the rest has come from the club. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam3773 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) I always take issue with the notion that a manager has until x game to turn it around. What then? Our form is so poor, but a win against Southampton and the counter resets at 0? The club will take a holistic view, and I'd be very surprised if replacements aren't already being sounded out. Especially with the apparent unrest in the dressing room on top of results and fan pressure. A result against Leicester or Southampton won't be enough to save him. I mean, it wouldn't be the first time a manager gets the boot after a win. He's already gone - the club are just deciding when.
