foreveryoung Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I think we are close to getting the boo boys and banners out. If Purslow don't sack him after Chelsea, we are gonna have to show the owners how much we want him out, harsh I agree, but I'm sure Gerrard will be able to pay the bills still with his multi million pound pay off, so I wouldn't feel too sorry for him.

I don't care if we are shlt but I care when I start disliking watching my club and feeling like the manager and fans aren't together. What is he doing here, imagine the buzz around Villa park if Poch or emery or someone else came in, a shining bit of hope. This has gotten to silly levels already. Even if he wins the next 10 he's still a disrespectful knob. What has he done that is disrespectful? (serious question ...) I know he made the Mings captain call, which I guess you could call disrespectful to Mings, but what else? I think the football he is producing is utter crap but I'm kind of missing why people are taking such a strong dislike to him as a person. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regularly throws the squad under the bus during post-match but gleefully runs over to his mates during the rare wins to bask in the interview. All of it just stinks. And while some of it may be exaggerated because of the desultory performance on the pitch, every little bit is magnified at this point. Not to mention the countless times he doesn't even bother acknowledging the away fans for traveling to watch another dire performance. Will undoubtedly move on to bigger and better things like the England job once Villa get rid where he can play his media part and hide behind "pragmatic" football for internationals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be the perfect replacement for Southgate. Would be a completely smooth transition as if nothing had changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan_of_oz Posted October 11, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 11, 2022 So it's gonna take an extreme event for Purslow to do to Slippy G, what he did with complete ease to Dean Smith, the best manager we'd had in over a decade. Fine. I hope Chelsea absolutely batter us. Short term pain for long term gain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard has a harder job than Smith did here IMO. Gerrard is failing to kick us on and we are standing still that is fair enough, I think most are in agreement. Please stop talking about Smith! DS struggled badly without Grealish. Move on. You want Chelsea to batter us? Go and support somebody else.

avfc1982am Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 The home fans just need to turn on Sunday once the result is confirmed and leave the board in no doubt that enough is enough. It's no good having everyone come on forums and social media crying about the situation unless there is a collective effort to change the situation. All silence does is afford more excuses, not just from Gerrard but the board. They need to be made aware that with the rising costs of going to watch the team, on top of the rising costs in just about every walk of life, that shit is unacceptable, or at least perpetual shit is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanky Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) I’ll be surprised if they sack him now. I think after Fulham/Brentford is a possibility. Let’s face it though, we’ve seen no progress on the pitch at all, and we’ve gone backwards this season. As knee jerk as it felt at the time, I was all for sacking him after Bournemouth. We were having major problems with Beale here, but since he has left we seem to have given up playing any football whatsoever. Gerrard seem to not have any idea what to do with any of our players. Throwing on all the strikers last night was right out of the Bruce/Lambert playbook. Edited October 11, 2022 by Hanky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith essentially had to build a whole new side in our first Premier League season, on paper looking back it was dire, and stayed up. Then built on this finishing 11th the following season, our squad now is considerably stronger than that which accomplished this. Got sacked the following season with Jack being sold and being unable to settle on a system to utilise his 3 “replacements”. The reason being he wasn’t delivering on “continual improvement”. Gerrard then comes in and starts strongly followed by a theme of regression. After bringing in his own players, being allowed to completely smash the club ethos of not buying older players for big money/wages in the process, and having a full pre-season to settle we’ve proceeded to look worse than ever. I can’t fathom how you’ve arrive at the opinion Gerrard has had it harder. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
