Mark Albrighton Posted October 19, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 19, 2022 “kissed and made up” May well be Preece playing up to the idea it was in any way aggressive.

Marka Ragnos Posted October 19, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 19, 2022 Does anybody wonder if some of the causes of Gerrard’s failure are things that are imperceptible to the public, and even the media, as of now? I guess I wonder if there is some dynamic or set of dynamics on the training ground that have not yet come to the light of day, and may never do.

All we need now is Preece to confirm that Gerrard won’t be sacked anytime soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he's just a terrible manager and completely clueless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a bazillion things we are not privy to on may levels, not just the training ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackbauer24 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I'm now under the impression that Gerrard is going nowhere soon. The lack of real stories about approaching managers, his general attitude and him saying he feels he has their support, added to the fact Purslow has a soft spot for him and we're not in relegation zone means he stays for a few months at least. Not until we're three or six points adrift will they consider his position I reckon. The general crowd are still a few games away from that yet (only pockets of boos) and the World Cup is coming. Depressing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t watched one for months because I don’t feel like I gain anything from it, he’s good at them and I could write the answers he’s going to give before he even says because it’s professional sound bites. I thought there maybe slightly tougher questions although I wasn’t expecting any and surprise surprise they were non-offensive questions. If you weren’t a Villa fan and seen the results and performances over time you’d feel sorry for him because he gives off that impression. Obviously I know different and it’s just rubbish most of what he’s saying but I didn’t expect him to say anything different. Waste of 15 mins of my life. Thank you for your service because no way am I watching that rubbish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it, sometimes the simplest explanation is the correct one - in this case it’s that Gerrard just isn’t a good manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s the man completely in charge on the training ground. If the dynamics aren’t working then it’s his responsibility to fix them. You think of any type of issue…..then when you think about it it’s in his control. I can’t think of anything that isn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Southampton win and we’re down to 17th level with Wolves in 18th. 2 teams who finished above us last season and a team that we just drew with separating us from the bottom of the table.

Have they even watched us, we couldn't get past Nott's , sorry Nottingham Forest never mind the mighty Fulham. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
