If we somehow get a respectable scoreline/performance they might give him leicester But its a waste of time he isnt getting any better My thoughts exactly, we are just delaying the inevitable. I do wonder if they are waiting for Rodgers to be sacked / walk then taking him? Will save a few million on compensation? Regardless, when we lose to City, then he must win Leicester & Southampton. If we don't perform well, at Southampton home the fans will turn and his job will be completely untenable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a crap a manger, one of our very worst but chucking stuff at him is a tad tin pot. He’ll hopefully be gone soon. Let’s not make the club look like SHA. Yes I think the Holte singing 'we want Gerrard out' from when we concede our second or third til the end of the game should suffice. I can't see them sacking him today unfortunately but he cannot be in the job from Saturday night onwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the club has some insights we lack, I struggle to see him survive a loss or even a draw against Leicester. I think the fallout from that would be more than the club is willing to bear, unless they REALLY are onboard with what he's trying to do, and the players really support him.

Nah the Villa only throw organic veg bought from Waitrose in the Shires, whereas the blues just sling shit at each other. Mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuffolkVillan Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Concerning to see Gerrard in the photo with Lange and new players. Hoped he would be at the jobcentre by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Villarocker Posted September 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2022 I spoke with a guy today who turned out to be a Villa fan also. He told me that a couple of weeks back he spoke with one of the younger players at the club and asked him about the decision to strip Mings of the captaincy. He claims that the lad said that the players weren't happy about it and thought it was a strange decision as all the players respect and look up to Mings. He said that when Mings spoke the players listened - all of them. He said nobody could believe the decision and that the players aren't supporting the manager and some have turned against him because of his tactics and team selection. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really didn't want to sack the legendary promotion merchant Steve Bruce, but the Preston at home game made it completely untenable. I think the same will happen at Southampton at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But again, I don't have the insights the club has, but looking on from the outside it just feels untenable, so I just can't see him live through that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 The only way I see him being here on Monday morning is if we put up a fight on Saturday and go down by a goal or two rather than get the slaughtering I and most other Villa fans are fearing. If we get tanked tomorrow and they keep faith in him for the Leicester game they better hope he wins that or that defeat will be laid at the board's feet.
