Wainy316 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 He'd be mad to turn us down. We're the perfect prospect for him to move on and build his rep. For us though, it represents a risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Sooner this gets sorted the sooner the new manager can get to Bodymoor Heath and slap some players around. Is Gerrard any good at COD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 4 minutes ago, KentVillan said: Yeah I agree. The Liverpool thing is only an issue because the condescending press coverage will drive us all mad. The possibility of him actually going to Liverpool eventually is neither here nor there, and doesn't really bother me. It is actually one of the things that bothers me the least about him joining. Even if i think he is a clearing in the woods, i dont think his skills are up to it yet. I think its easier to manage the Rangers players than the Villa players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I'm not absolutely pro Gerrard, but if he wasn't showing a decent amount of promise to those that know in football, they wouldn't be touting him for the Liverpool job one day. It's more than just his name and footballing past. I get what you are saying but when we are the level we are, you wouldn’t appoint a CFO for a top 20 listed company from a mid level company with only 3 years experience at that level and no prior finance experience especially when when there is other candidates out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted November 9, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 9, 2021 Big Sam until the end of the season, too big a job for Gerrard atm. 2 losses and the fans will turn after the Smith sacking. Big Sam had seen it all and wouldn't care , Gerrard wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 13 minutes ago, ReasonforRevolution said: I'm always sceptical of Twitter in the knows. But the account that's reporting on Gerrard has got plenty right recently. They reported Mings getting dropped the day before the game. Then the Dean Smith sacking a few days before the actual event. They're saying Gerrard announced Friday. Highest paid Villa manager ever and a big budget in January. Compensation with Rangers agreed. Not sure, it's true, but as I say, they've got a few Tweets right over the last few weeks. That said, if I had that insider knowledge I'd be on Bet 365 not Twitter so we'll see. Unless they were the very first source of a rumour, they could just be reposting gossip and taking credit for "breaking" anything that turns out to be true. What they do is leave up anything that looks good, delete the rest, so when you go back through the timeline it all looks legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether that's Gerrard or someone else, that's the choice the board will be making. Thats a fair comment Bob but the better the manager, experience/talent wise, the less the gamble.. If he comes, I hope to have my words rammed down my throat because of his brilliance, but I just think its a gamble we do not need to take. If we cannot get top level, them Potter is a better bet for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS. I was going to explain this as hiring a CFO for a major tech company as someone right out of grad school. It works when you're a smaller company and don't have a lot of expectations at that time (think Elon Musk appointing JB Straubel at Tesla in 2012), but when you're a major massive corporation with thousands of people working there, you can't take a gamble like that again. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
