Daweii Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I don't have a problem with it. Yes, it's not traditional, but he's using their social media to keep his profile in world football high which benefits Villa in the end. We're already seeing the recruitment benefits of having him as our manager. He's one of the best midfielders to ever play the game and it seems players want to be coached/managed by him as a result. Gerrard showing up on way bigger social media accounts isn't a negative to me. He's a legend at Liverpool, and I think it's cool that Aston Villa allow him to do this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just that, he’s their ex captain and talisman who won everything for the club (except the league) we have a genuine football legend managing our club not just an ex player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I " love it " but it doesn't bother me either, as it's not a secret. What matters is how he acts whilst he's managing us, not what he does in spare time. On that front, he deals with it brilliantly when confronted IMO. I'm sure even the likes of JPA ( Not a manager of course ) and other ex players publicly support us even after moving on. Aside from Jack " Villa through and through " Grealish of course. Edited May 28, 2022 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody1000 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I’m over it, I was a bit peeved when he did the video before the charity game a couple of months ago, but as rightly mentioned it’s what he does as our manager that counts. One thing I will say though is that it doesn’t help him with regards to getting Liverpool related questions from journalists, which he generally is quite prickly about. This sort of stuff only helps fan those flames imo. Anyway, we’re all Madrid tonight right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 1 hour ago, foreveryoung said: Maybe he is there scouting? Crazy theory incoming! Gerrard has his Liverpool connections, Nas is a wealthy Egyptian businessman and wants a high profile Egyptian in the first team squad (see Mohammed Trezeguet), a certain forward playing in the final is entering the final year of his contract.

CarryOnVilla Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Really couldn’t care less about him doing Liverpool soundbites. He’s a former legend and fan. Let him have that legacy I’d say. Doesn’t do anything to hinder us 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) He’s working on the side for BT Sport. No issue with it, you seen the cost of living crisis ; he loves Liverplop would never shy away from that. Put the work in to get 3 transfers over the line already, enjoy the final. This has got a big game European feel about it like it should have, what better way than to get the Villa gaffer on the panel looking the part with his stubble.
