MrBlack Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Got a tough run coming up. He'll be gone by the end of it. By which time we'll be in the relegation zone and won't be able to attract any manager worth his salt. Shame the owners and Purslow don't have the balls to admit they made a mistake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think until it becomes more distinctly clear that we are in trouble, they will want to avoid the cost of changing manager. But then will it be too late to stop the slide? That is where the owners need to have good judgement. Certainly Edens has proved himself ruthless in the past with the Bucks - I hope a similar approach is taken at Villa Park. They were ruthless with Smith so fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jbvilla909 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Smith had more credit in the bank than this guy does, owners got shot of Smith and Bruce, here's hoping they pull the trigger quickly on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree it’s a BS account and their info is fake but the actual feeling wouldn’t surprise me to be honest. He should be gone but I think we won’t hear anything unfortunately.

When the guillotine falls I imagine it'll be because the right man to take over has set a date. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustibrooks Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I saw someone say it last night here and I’m with them on this, we all know what Gerrard is at this point so there’s no point getting worked up over him at this point, we know he’s not up to task. However every game he continues to be in our dugout, makes me question the board a bit more. Crazy me saying this, when around 6 months ago I would never really question them. I suppose it’s more about this Gerrard appointment and how it seems like they are giving him a longer leash than normal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PieFacE Posted October 11, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2022 The "I need my big attacking players to step up" comments last night all feels very Steve Bruce where he just relies on a moment of individual magic from someone to score a goal. Rather than have a systematic approach to continuously create chances. It's dour and outdated. He is just a modern day Bruce. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s well off no doubt but he’ll be living a life well off and certainly to walk away from the equivalent of two years wages. These people live at a far more expensive life than we are use to and £10m is not something he’d walk away from. You have to put it at the level they live at and not a comparison to our wages. To live the lifestyle him and his family live at he can’t afford to walk away from £10m. Different world to us. Plus he wouldn’t give a damn about our respect, it’s not like he’d have much connection with us if he leaves. He'll easily earn that back being a poor man's Gary Neville! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TRO Posted October 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) I have to concede, that football last night....scared me.....it was beyond Rancid. I am not going to hound him out, while he is still our manager, but the hope of him turning it around is evaporating. I will rely on the club to do the right thing.....but this low grade of football cannot continue...its embarrasing. I just hope they have someone in mind, who can turn this around.

Didn't think he was this bad. I do rate Critchley as well. I think he's been told to try and coach this shit shape that will never work in the PL. Can't be done. Gerrard is done once we do sack him. It was difficult to fail here and he has. So so bad. The pre season was a huge red flag. It wasnt just on fitness we needed to show something was developing in terms of pattern and style. Guy is a con artist and shoulf have really been sacked at the end of last season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Segundo Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 The ruthlessness that saw Smith go after his poor run of five defeats was almost certainly driven by Purslow, who clearly wanted his bessie mate in. He won't apply the same to Gerrard unless he feels his own position is under threat if he doesn't do something (and it should be). American sports owners are generally pretty ruthless and you would think more so in Football where you have the jeopardy of relegation and the financial shitstorm that entails. I would hope and think NSWE are talking to alternatives for Gerrard and possible Purslow as well. If they aren't, we could be well and truly buggered by the time the penny drops.

VillaParkAvenue Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Speaking of Gerrard's finances, he's earning crazy money from that co-operation with Hyundai and "Team Century". https://www.hyundai.com/worldwide/en/worldcup/team-century/steven-gerrard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
