Popular Post Designer1 Posted November 11, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2021 Wouldn't have been anywhere near my top choices and not someone I've ever had much time for. As others have said though, hopefully he'll prove me wrong and it'll be an inspired appointment. Welcome to the Villa and good look Steven. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberman Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Welcome to the next run of hte Villa rollercoaster. Actually pretty excited by the potential. First 5 games are really tough though so hope everyone can stay positive while the team settles in. (Spoiler - they won't). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) If we could learn to not dislike Terry then I'm sure we'll do the same with Gerrard. As long as he's up to the job. Would not have been on any shortlist of mine but we'll see. Guess the name mean we'll get a easier time in the media and that we might get some more calls on the pitch. Certain he would not have come here unless he was promised funds so that's a silver lining. Edited November 11, 2021 by sne 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Not the guy I wanted but he deserves a fair go of it - will give him time and try to be as objective as possible. I really hope it works out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 He's bringing his backroom staff with him. Rangers have thanked him and his staff in their official statement. Welcome Steven, Gary, Micheal etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoFantastico Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Can't say I'm convinced by this appointment at all but will wait to see how it goes. It does feel like it's a result of the lack of options out there. Hope I'm proven wrong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post flamingsombrero Posted November 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2021 Monumentally reckless decision by the club. Let's see if it pays off, personally I doubt it. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarcana Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) I am happy with this, the man is a winner, he has the experience as a top level player and was a leader as a player, he will command respect. First things first Steven, get the players fit, get some discipline back in the squad and give us an identifiable pattern of play. Could be a great appointment, He's learnt from some great coaches in his time. Also Morelos!..... have wanted him for years at the Villa Edited November 11, 2021 by Villarcana 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leemond2008 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Never a fan of him as a player but I'm more than happy to get him in and see what he can do, its a gamble for both us and him. If Liverpool come in and poach him in 2 or 3 years time then it'll mean that he's been a success and we'll be in a better position than we are now. If it goes tits up and we get relegated it is no worse than it was looking under Smith. I'm quite excited by having him as manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
