Villan_of_oz Posted October 5, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 5, 2022 Just to make a point, Forrest fans are virtually 100% behind Cooper, but that isn't gonna stop him getting the sack. If you think the owners need to hear boos and see cabbages thrown on the pitch to pull the trigger, then you are deluded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree mate, but I felt during the last 5mins of the Southampton game that the Holte was close to losing it. Had they equalised I’m positive it would have gone.

Big support won’t change much if owners are going to sack, but fan protests would harm any manager in the eyes of the owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvonVillain Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Surely it wouldn't be sensible to announce the new era crest with Gerrard still in the job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 We've scored the same amount of goals as Forest and Bournemouth and we have Ings, Watkins, Coutinho and Buendia available to use. Maybe the fact that 2 of them barely get a kick is the problem. Why is he still here? I really don't understand what the board are waiting for, the performances are getting worse, he's not going to suddenly switch us to playing magic football given we've gone backwards since he arrived. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why just look at results over four games, three of which will have been against poor (very poor in two cases) sides. He's nowhere near getting the potential out of this squad, and draining us with dire performances in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post a m ole Posted October 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2022 What’s his biggest result and performance? I say this as I watch Villa’s ‘on this day’ Instagram post where we beat Norwich 5-1 on 5th October 2019. Our squad that day Heaton Guilbert Engels Mings Targett Hourihane Nakamba McGinn El Ghazi Wesley Grealish subs: Steer, Konsa, Taylor, Luiz, Jota, Trezeguet, Davis. But yeah, it’s all the current players fault we struggle to even get chances because they’re not very good. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if our stated ambition remains to push, at least, for a place in Europe. If our ambitions have now changed to remaining outside the relegation places and keep our existing manager then I guess we’re really chuffed.

Tom13 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Yeah...it's nothing to do with the fact we're not winning every week. It's the depressing, turgid, clueless football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 IMHO,with our squad we should be finishing 8/10th but under SG we will be lucky to finish 17th....... How long does he need to prove he is useless in the Premier League ( 5 seasons ? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Fans that aren’t going because they hate everything right now under Gerrard is understandable. It’s the season ticket holders that feel this way that have been shafted a bit. They’ve paid for their tickets so may as well go unless they are able to sell it back to club. Something that will become more and more difficult when we can’t sell out. Those that hate everything and are still buying tickets to go to games need to really consider why they are doing this to themselves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new transfer policy, the stadium investments and the investment in youth would seem that the push for Europe is on hold or cancelled. Would explain why Gerrard is still at the helm and not been sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Thats a silly attitude from management as well.If we are looking to the future then thay need to make up their mind,what future they are looking at.A future in the Championship or a future in the Premier League.If its a future in the Championship then Gerrard is the right man for the job.If they are looking for a future in the Premier League then Gerrard is not even close to the sort of manager we need.

We already have the players to not play this type of football. Gerrard doesn't have a clue how to use them. This is where the frustration comes from. I can understand frustration and I think we're worse under SG than DS, but there has been such a typical Villa fan online over-reaction of late, that's my point in a nutshell.
