thabucks Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I said if it before Smith was fired and Gerrard was appointed I wanted Xabi Alonso. **** up with the wrong choice of ex- Liverpool midfielders. And little chance we can sack Gerrard and appoint Alonso to replace him either now… Marco Rose is a good shout as currently available. Don’t see Poch being a unrealistic shout given the owners stated ambitions and wealth and actions to date. Sadly Rúben Amorim is out of our league at present Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scattershot defending. Terrible from set pieces both sides of the ball. No accountability. Weak mentality. Can't hold a lead. No identity. No discernable plan week to week. Repetitive coaching mistakes. Rigid team selection. Hoof ball. Low energy. Not enough size, strength or athleticism in the side. Maddening. Is it just the Villa way ? whatever we do we end up back where we started. rinse repeat Edited August 20, 2022 by thabucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) Realistically I think the best we can get right now who would probably take the job is graham potter or Brendan Rodger’s Edited August 20, 2022 by Eastie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Just now, foreveryoung said: Not for me. No disrepect to Smith, but in the premier league, who was he? A football manager. Who is Graham Potter? Who is Eddie Howe? Who is David Moyes? Who is Jurgen Klopp? Signing a celebrity manager like Gerrard is the sort of stupid stuff we can usually laugh at the basketcase clubs like Everton for. Can't wait to move on from this. Just hope we don't get pulled into relegation battle. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted August 20, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2022 Get him gone now. You can't do much worse with the squad we have. Throw everything at Poch but that's probably unrealistic, so Potter if he'll come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Probably Tyrone Mings in about 10 years. When Steven wins our third Champions League and takes the England job over from Southgate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy54 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Our multimillionaire billionaire owners didn't get where they are without having a contingency plan for every eventuality. I am pretty sure that they are well aware that things are not good at the Villa. I reckon Gerrard's time at the Villa is going to be curtailed soon unless a convincing win against wet spam, and points against arse and man c$ty.

We should then reconsider his position and look at the options available to us before any decision is made. The last thing we want to do is sack Gerrard or force him to walk away and then have a situation where no decent manager would come to us because of how we have dealt with Gerrard. Shame the last guy didn't get this treatment after achieving everything asked of him and more the previous 3 seasons. I think we'd be in a much stronger position had we done this and then assessed the situation in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 the problem is, would you really want to bring a new manager in for our next 3 game run?, we are likely picking up little or no points in the next 3 regardless of the manager (W.Ham, Arsenal, Man City), do we really want a new manager dealing with that run right off the bat and maybe getting off on the wrong foot with the fans?, we arent exactly the most patient bunch? I can almost see Gerrard lasting those 3 games, maybe even the next 2 after that (Leicester & Southampton), that then leads to a 2 week break, maybe the 2 week break from mid Sept (sept 17th to Oct 2nd) might be the time to do it if results dont improve?
