I think he's one of very few genuine "genius" minds in footy. He's a masterclass tactician and players love to play for him - whats not to like? Can do it on a shoe string budget, back him with proper funds and I think he really could push toward the top. I think theres a stereotypical cause he's English he isn't a top tier "elite" manager, but I truly think he has it in him. Down the line he should be Englands manager - but only after he's secured us Europe and a few trophies to go along with it. . Hypothetically thinking - but I'll continue to hope Gerrard gets it right and we look more stable in the mean time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wearing my claret & blue tinted glasses now but I honestly we have just about the best owners and CEO any football manager could ask for. If we sacked Gerrard in the morning I genuinely belive we could have whichever of them we wanted. It would cost us but we could bring in either GP or MoPo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there is always risk with a new manager, to replicate what was successful at one club don’t always work at a different club. But there is too much wrong with Gerrard as a manager, and there are no signs of improvement. His team selection is just strange, players that is tired or out of form, get picked over players that is in form. Since there is no squad rotation, come March/April the team will struggle again. If he get to stay the entire season, we should be satisfied if we don’t get relegated. The thing is that when (not if) Gerrard is fired, it will be the same people that hired Gerrard that will select the next manager. Hopefully they have learned from their mistake and hire Potter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Griffin Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Just for the record. I am 100% supportive of SG as manager and I really like him as manager and I think he could work out really well, I hope he does. When we were first linked with him I didn't want him but he has grown on me and regardless of who our manager is I will give him my full support. That said, I do have my own fantasies and for years I have want Poch as our manager and if I was Purslow I would try and get him in ASAP. But, in the meantime, I am 100% behind Gerrard 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He demands to know what the **** is going on?! Poch is still splashing his £10 mill severance pay from PSG and thanks you for the interest, but looks like the Man U job might be up for grabs soon, and maybe Klopp is done with Pool, so thanks but no thanks.
