useless Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Is Gerrard really going to be our manager? Or are people just guessing that it will be so, based on his connections to Purslow and adding the caveat that it's his job if he wants it as a get out in case if in fact it turns out it isn't Gerrard they can say it was going to be him but he turned us down. I only ask because I should like Ten Hag (not likely I know it), Zidane, Favre, Gasperini, Rangnick or some other candidate of their ilk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sense Dean is probably the first manager in a long time that actively wanted the Villa Park crowd there, even though we probably only survived relegation because we were behind closed doors. Let's hope he has a strong backroom staff to help him out and we get an instant bounce. They hasn’t turned on him yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvonVillain Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Incidentally, if that really is John Terry suddenly on Twitter, I think I'm pleased he's no longer at the club. Maybe that's why he left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because hed have the massive approval of all the scousers, know the club, systems, and some of the players, directors. Liverpool are established, if he flops at pool it won't do much damage. If he flops at villa we could reverse all the progress of the last 3 years and drop us right back in the shite. Gerrard to pool is totally different proposition to Gerrard to villa.

useless Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) I've just noticed that the Telegraph article from yesterday mentioning Gerrard, Thomas Frank, Hasenhüttl, Fonseca, and the Denmark manager was later ammended to add Favre as one of the candidates. So it wasn't just the daily mail reporting Favre being a possibility, but The Telegraph too. Edited November 8, 2021 by useless 🦛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no connection with Gerrard, therefore we know he's not up to the level we are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may seem hypocritical given where we are, but I don’t really take social media seriously. The small stuff I read on the BBC site HYS attached to the Dean departure story, was full of people hating Villa for sacking Dean after losing 5 matches. That wasn’t the real reason any more than it was reasonable for people losing their minds about a team and a manager they hadn’t got a clue about. Twatter and Facebook is a different level again! So I’m not going to form any real opinions based on social media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast majority of comments I’m seeing from fans who are upset both in this forum and on social media go along the lines of “after one bad run.. or after 5 defeats”. If it’s not because of sentimentally then what is it? Because anyone thinking logically can accept the right decision has been made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
