Cosmik Debris Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Haters gonna hate but some people need to get some perspective on this. Wishing him to fail, which means the team we all luv fails, is just plain crazy… At this point if he does not succeed then the chances are we could end up being relegated so what would that achieve?! I for one will be fully behind this appointment and believe that this new management team will be a success relative to where Villa currently are, so anything around 10th place would be a fantastic achievement. Welcome Steven and the team. UTV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Can’t believe I’ve not thought about it until now, but we might actually start getting favourable refereeing decisions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be an angle there for some Korean support, and Korea is like the biggest deal right now Well I don't remember it being a thing when I lived there (2010-12). They were far too caught up in Park Ji-Sung. I would imagine Son has similar demi-god status there now.

I've also said that I think he will start pretty well. He will get us bombing around at 100mph. I don't think him failing with villa means the Liverpool job is gone for him. He could easily go back into a minor coaching role ( at Liverpool) and then be promoted from within. Possibly but I can't see Gerrard going to a lower level coaching role at Liverpool. he has tasted management and I think wouldn't want to step back down to the lower levels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not just the results, 6 months ago we had Dean and Jack, Villa men as Manager and Captain, we had an identity but now, I just don’t know who or what we are any more. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hadn't won an away game for 15 months and we got a last minute penalty. Absolute scenes and for me it was the start of the fight back. I was there and will never forget that game....got a great picture of me and my lad celebrating by the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a big risk but let's hope he can motivate the squad and give us a bounce before the January window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 2 hours ago, NurembergVillan said: Same. But EVERY manager is a risk. It's arguably more important that he has the right coaches around him and he is the figurehead - in which case the risk is mitigated. Can't disagree. My fingers are crossed this works out. A very different route to our usual choices so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 We now have a Head Coach who has a team of people around him that he has a lot of experience working with. I get the feeling that if we brought in someone like Fonseca we would be stuck with Danks and MacPhee around him. Smith was hindered massively in the summer with most of his coaching team being replaced, so it's good that we aren't in that situation now. Gerrard is clearly ambitious, and I doubt he takes any shit, so the board will (hopefully) move heaven and earth to keep him happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky giving us a lot of coverage today Carragher and Neville always speak highly of us tbf. They were both loving it when we were first promoted back and getting to go to VP again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three silly old blokes on Villa Talk still whinging because they didn't get the toy they wanted for Christmas isn't where the mood is at, now. The moment he was appointed the mood shifted to one of overwhelming support, as it should be. 13 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
