Peter Griffin Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Just now, Zatman said: Based on? Based on people get things wrong occasionally. Gerrard is a rookie manager in the PL. None of us know whether he will be successful or not. We have our opinions but we don't know how he will adapt to this step up in his career. Its a huge job for him, he has a massive budget and he is expected to deliver. It is difficult for a young manager and we won't see the real Gerrard as manager until he has proven himself to some extent. He needs a confidence booster to show he is doing the right things. Obviously this may not happen, I hope it does, but we simply don't know what sort of manger he will turn out to be. So far, in the transfer windows I am very happy with him. He is identifying the positions that are weak in our team and he is getting in players that look like good quality. I am not convinced he is the right manager for us but I am happy to see how it works out. Thankfully, so too are NSWE and Purslow, it would be madness to be changing managers too frequently. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFS grow up The vast majority of your posts are a dig at our manager, so the only conclusion I can come to is that you think he will fail to the point you sound like it’s a personal mission on your part. If he fails we fail, so whilst I don’t think you want us to fail, you don’t seem to have linked the two. As for transfer windows, over the years we’ve had good and bad but generally mediocre and a bit meh. This one so far is pretty exciting. I know we don’t play any games and the proof of success or otherwise will be played out over the course of the season. Only time will tell, but I won’t apologise for enjoying it whilst there are no matches. I’m pretty sure I’m not alone in feeling good about our window so far. That’s about the most grown up answer I can manage. But I must remind you that my Dad is bigger than your Dad, so watch it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I just can’t agree with that 18 minutes ago, Zatman said: Look how we struggle without him I agree with this part but don’t think that means he’s the heart of the Villa, it just means we don’t have an alternative when he’s out. I also think while he’s a great captain off the field I’m not convinced he’s the right captain on the field. I still think this team misses a proper captain and we’ve not had one for years. 21 minutes ago, Zatman said: He is the person I would describe as Villa since our forner fan/captain left and then Smith Ok I don’t agree with this, I’m not sure we have that person at Villa. It would also depend on what you mean. When I think of Villa, I don’t think of Mings. As much as I love Mings, I think he could be replaced comfortably like a number of our positions if Gerrard so desires. When I think back on the defenders we’ve had in the past, even just in the PL he wouldn’t be close to the top of that list of quality. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You keep saying young manager and I understand the point but he is an unqualified manager. Like when Steve Staunton managed Ireland Gerrard has a little more experience but not a lot. He won a league vs Neil **** Lennon He should have went to Championship like Rooney/Lampard a more challenging league and I wouldn't have hired them either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely fear for the club with this guy in charge I really care for Villa and thats why I am pissed off.

Would I have preferred Gerrard to have had 2 years in the Championship before joining us? Absolutely. However, that is not where we are now as CP decided to take a punt on Gerrard. So far the pull of Gerrard appears to be helping our transfers, we would not have Cout and Kamara without Gerrard imo. So Purslow got one aspect of it right. Whether Gerrard will become a good manager or not is still up for debate but I can't understand why any Villa fan shouldn't give him a chance to prove himself 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could go tits up, but it could also pay off. It looks like the club are giving him everything he’s asking for so there can be no excuses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
