Popular Post avfc1982am Posted September 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2022 I think the owners should save the fans from a toxic atmosphere on Saturday, never mind Gerrard. There is only one way Sat is playing out and it doesn't look like playing out well with Gerrard at the wheel. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 There's a few rumblings of Lange being the problem. It's either Gerrard and Lange or Gerrard alone that needs to go. Throw Purslow in as well for me. I don't care who we did or didn't sign. It isn't this bad. We are set up abysmally and will finish bottom with the formation. With this broken plan. As was pointed out last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 What does Gary Mac actually do, as all the talk has been about Gerrard losing Beale and brining in Critchley. Have we ever sacked off a coach twice before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 It seems VT is fairly united on where we stand on Gerrard’s position. What’s the mood around town (mate) and VP? Surely, if VT is even close to representative of the general mood, Saturday is going to be a 40 000 strong lynch mob. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At half 5 on tv, it won’t be a good look for them if he’s still here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a load of rubbish. Most new Gerrard wasn’t ready for the PL, nothing to do with the clubs who are now both playing CL football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appoint a caretaker manager for Saturday (probably Critchley) and nip any bad atmosphere in the bud now. I can’t see him lasting today to be honest, surely he is in the office now being relieved of his duties. The next appointment is critical now, please get someone in with some pedigree. The manager is the most critical position in the first team, get that right and the rest should follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I'm sure the powers that be are grafting behind the scenes to sort a new manager. To just ignore the fact we are as good as bottom of the league and not winning football games with Gerrard is financial and reputational suicide. These owners don't look the sort to allow that. I also think the signings are now not down to Gerrard, which is why we haven't heard much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't ever speak to the media so it'll be ideal to throw him under the bus. I reckon Purslow will clear the whole hierarchy out to protect himself from criticism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live 5 minute drive from Villa Park, and everybody I know from Villa community, to friends, family, colleagues who are Villa fans thinks Gerrard should be gone, no question 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had we brought in Rodgers or Postecoglou (feel free to add a competent manager from another club for balance - they just spring to mind immediately) - a manager/head coach (call them the cleaning lady for all I care) with a functional system/plan to get the team playing - directly from the SPL, then all would see the difference between a good coach and Steven Gerrard.
