MachoFantastico Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 The quicker the club can get rid of him the better in my opinion. Wait to long and we'll regret it. Hopefully the owners are looking at options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chindie Posted September 1, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2022 Say what you will about any of our managers, even the really shit ones, you could generally see what they were trying to do, or at least see that the problems were trying to be tackled. Enter Gerrard. A 'manager' with 1 plan, that's so stupid it can be beaten by the simplest of tactics, and then he does it every week anyway. Completely brainless, insane. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbauer24 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I don't think a manager gets sacked on transfer deadline day. It's just too hectic. Has it ever happened? Tomorrow, hopefully. Caretaker in charge for City. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pray that it’s a new manager who has made the request which is why it’s come from nowhere.

Yup, I expect they were happy to write off Arsenal and Man.City as outliers and not in their league scenarios. Funny though considering we are aiming to win every game and compete for Europe; some real mixed messages from club and Manager. It is a S*** Show. Gerrard will fluke a win against Leicester and be all rosy in the world of NSWE. I think he'll be here until the Winter/World Cup break at the very least.

He’s literally sucking all the enthusiasm out of the fanbase with each passing day he remains here. What is the actual point of enduring him any longer? There is absolutely no evidence to suggest he can turn this around. The tactics and system are absolutely horrific - I genuinely can’t remember the last time we looked so bad. Even under Bruce, at least we made the play off final. Got to be going back to the relegation season to get close to this complete nightmare. The narrow set up angers me so much. To have Bailey as our only remaining out and out winger at the club is unforgivable for a club of our supposed stature. The substitutions are dumbfounding, and as for persisting with McGinn… literally I have no words. The players don’t believe in him. Does Purslow really believe his starboy can seriously inspire a turn of results? All the positivity around the stadium expansion has been overshadowed by Gerrard’s ineptitude. We’re supposed to be aiming for Europe, we couldn’t be further away from such a dream. To think the season tickets were increased for us to have to endure this situation. Bottom of the league if Leicester win tonight, it’s an utter disgrace! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbcuk Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 It’s starting to become a hassle going down there now with him still in charge, hate watching this football it’s bloody boring and not enjoyable one bit, will have to consider if I’ll renew my season ticket if he’s still here next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the whole coaching setup danks mcphee etc all need to go with gerrrad as all have been shockingly bad. Critchley for me has been shit too. I dont have hate towards gerrard he came with good intentions just failed. He is out of his depth. Probably should have taken a lower level job like in the championship before moving to PL He will never ever manage liverpool thats for sure I have hate towards Gerrard. Created an increasingly aging squad on big wages with little to no resell value. He's completely smashed down the club positive recruitment strategy we had under Smith.

But in his job, for no discernable reason he's undone masses of good work the club had undertaken under NSWE, and Purslow who had overseen the policies that were undoubtedly working has allowed himself to be taken for a ride due to stars in his eyes. This isn't Conte, Anchelotti or Mourinho, who I could understand being swept away by, but a manager of no pedigree whatsoever! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughes Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 not being sacked until after Leicester at the earliest, if we win that one he may stay on...Obviously not being sacked today/on deadline day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changing system to accommodate the players at your disposal? What is this witchcraft? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
