The improved performance today, for at least the first half, was a big positive for any manager coming in. At least he won’t be taking over a basket case with 10 games to go. Not yet anyway. Sack your mate or share a cab with him Larry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're only 5 points off Brighton so while we won't be getting close to them or Newcastle while Gerrard is here we can at least attempt to finish above them if we get someone in who hits the ground running. Just giving Gerrard another 5 games and it will be desperate blind faith and basically self-sabotage on another season. At the same time seriously damaging our chances of attracting a quality manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Poch is the obvious name I can’t look beyond. Tuchel will go to an elite club. No way IMO Amorin leaves Sporting mid season for us. Bo Svennson names has been linked to Brighton and Wolves, but maybe is too much of a risk to follow Gerrard. Mancini I don’t think is an outlandish shout , though a long one.

I'm just saying the longer it goes on, the less likely a top manager wants to come in and fight fires. Poch might as well wait till the summer and see what state we are in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmirch Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 The prospect of a new manger isn’t exciting me as much as it should. We’ll still have a suspect back room staff, Purslow and a recruitment strategy that is Sunderland 2015 but with even more wasted money. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full clear out almost guaranteed by the new manager. Can't wait! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think people realize how important it is to get rid of Purslow. If Purslow would just stick with commerial deals I would be fine with him but his ego is far too big for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Inspiration Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Todays first half should allay any fears of “firefighting” like was rumoured about pochs potential hang ups on coming in, there’s enough hear for a competent manager to do well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might improve the coaching though. The management is awful as we know, so lets not start talking about the coaching and who Gerrard has actually improved since being here, cause it'll be a very difficult find.

VillaChris Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Playing Archer a bit more (apparently was ill today so can't criticise Gerrard for that at least) will hopefully happen under next manager. You don't score all the goals he's done in last 12 months at various levels without having something about you so he needs much more than just 5-10 minute cameos. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
