By fix I hope you mean him and Gary Mac pop their boots on and register as players for the Brighton game. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm an ardent Smith admirer but recognised 5 losses on the bounce coupled with team looking in disarray was justification for removal. Also don't understand the negativity towards Gerrard as a replacement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I really hope they know what they're doing if they're hiring Gerrard. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveAV1 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 6 minutes ago, DaveAV1 said: I find it baffling that people think owners and a CEO, that have been nothing but professional and ambitious since arriving here, have suddenly decided at such a critical point and for such a huge decision that they can’t be bothered to go to the trouble of finding the best manager they can and just give the job to one of their mates. On the same basis, just because some posters don’t agree with the decision they think that the owners suddenly lack ambition. Could it not be the case that they could be wrong and that the board with their massive resources have carried out deep and extensive due diligence and in their opinion, which is likely to have more value than any of ours, just might be right? I might be wrong of course and they just like Scousers with a funny voice who once made a bad tackle and his management abilities never came into the conversation at all. Sounds like things have moved on anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted November 9, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 9, 2021 Kinda excited by this, very much a gamble from my perspective but intriguing all the same. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I think Beale's the man we need here more than Gerrard reading his info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also don't understand the negativity towards Gerrard as a replacement. I wouldn’t say it’s negativity towards him just that some posters like me would prefer someone else (I’ve mentioned who numerous times and described their benefits). However on the flip side I have also mentioned that the youngsters and our midfield will immediately benefit as hearing how a truly world class player did things will definitely be a positive.

It's a huge test for Gerrard. This goes wrong he'll really struggle to get any sort of bigger job. I think the squad is largely full of good characters who will give him plenty.

leighavfc Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Im in the underwhelmed camp but more than happy to be proven wrong and of course I will back him. Some of his personality traits will be exactly what we need atm but I'm just unsure how well we can judge his time in Scotland as a coach. I hope this goes well 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I’m coming round to the idea more and more. Still a massive risk but has the potential to be hugely exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
