why is he getting a press conference?

He is the first player in a long time to get a press conference 

Terrible news, we have now regressed if this true.

Dougie is the type of player that we will look back on in 4 years time and realise the talent we missed out on like an Idrissa Gueye

The reality is that none of our managers knew how to use a player with his ability because he is a continental type of player that has a high footballing IQ which means he can play as a 6 and 8.

If he leaves, the club has f***ed this with all the irrelevant promo ect.. poor from the club..

I think that the decision has been made of his departure..

We are waiting after the city game..

Makes zero sense, how did this club get so stupid so quickly.

I am beginning to think Lange is at fault for the poor recruitment..

I actually like him.

Very physical and good in the air too. 

Something that we are lacking

This has been such an odd appointment.

We really don't know much about him, not one single interview? ( unless I missed it)

The signings he has brought in have been poor with no real methodology..

For me this started with the Danny Ings signing.. 

Purslow has made two bad appointments tbh.. him and SG..

Shortlist of managers is being built imo..

Digne has been a s**T signing for us

Luiz should be started..

Interestingly,

What manager do you think is capable working with this current squad?

We have very little width, two wingers? Bailey and Buendia ( Isn't a natural 10).

Most managers that are being suggested tend to play with wide players.

His last game in charge will be Leicester imo, they are desperate for a win so as usual we will roll over give them an easy 3 points and that will be that

I said this,

After the two tough games it will either be Leicester or Southampton.

It wouldn't be fair for our potential manager to be dealing with the two best teams in the league currently.

Rumours circulating that we have sacked 9 members of the back room staff..

I can’t see Poch coming here tbh..

We cannot provide him European football in the next two years. The teams that we should be challenging have strengthened remarkably in the past month..

Our recruitment plan has been poor, only good players we have signed has been Kamara and Carlos. But the recruitment plan seems to be all over the place.

He will have better options.

Potter could come but he would need some assurances on the long term strategy.

Are we recruiting players that can grow and be top level?
or

Are we just signing players that have the highest amount of International/Europa league caps..

The board need to figure out the project and sell that to that the next manager!

I haven’t seen a Villa Manager get so much press on a potential sacking like this.

Percy, Talksport ect..

The damning thing is that they are not just questioning the results but his ability to coach,  team selection and disharmony in the dressing room.

The writing is very much on the wall.. 

He could be gone next week Monday..

One of our next managers will either be Brendan Rodgers or Graham Potter..

I remember reading that Purslow prefers British managers.. 

My thoughts..

We are probably going to sign a CB and that will be it..

The club don’t want to sanction anymore project signings because Gerrard will be gone by the international break..

We won’t get any better because he doesn’t coach the players and the players need coaching to improve..

Apparently we have one of the worst running stats in the league..

That tells me two things..

1.) We lack athleticism 

2.) Players are not playing for the Manager

I want him gone, but we may have to wait until after the Arsenal and City game so that the new manager gets a better run of games..

I have no words left.. 

Its not even disappointing to see him perform bad, I expect it.

I think he is finished as a player..

Bailey, Buendia are ahead of him..

My issue with Purslow is that he has placed a lot of faith in Gerrard, prized a manager from Blackpool to be our assistance manager..

You sack Gerrard and his backroom staff, that is a lot of money wasted..

Will Purslow be in a rush to sack Gerrard?

I don't think so..

Although he is financially invested in the club I wonder if NSWE are questioning some of his decisions of recruiting Lange & Gerrard..

The fact that we considered loaning him has really annoyed me.

I said it yesterday..

Deal off

A few sources on twitter are saying that the deal is off.

If we don’t sell or loan this guy this window that tells me that Gerrard won’t be here for too long.

A new manager might value him more?
