I'm confident every other Villa fan will feel the same. Wow, have you not read these pages? There are plenty who will be just itching for it to be a disaster. Fortunately experience tells me very little of what is written on here or on Twitter transmits to Villa Park. I'm 100% sure the new manager will get a great reaction in the flesh regardless of the bitters on here. It's the old story of the vocal minority of negativity. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rodders0223 Posted November 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2021 I think it's an appalling appointment but it just goes to show all those people that said Purslow was always attracted to "big names" were right. Rangers aren't that good. They won 1 trophy out of 9. They beat a shambles of a Celtic team with an alcoholic manager to a title. Big deal. The guy has no personality, he doesn't look inspiring once the fact it's "Steven Gerrard" wears off. He's drab, boring and dull. I iisten to him talk and I think 'were you really playing in 2000s' as you talk like a 70 year old man. He's a proper yer da rolls your sleeves up get in their face gaffer. It's not a good appointment and I fear for the season now. 5 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not Bizarre behavior at all, it's the same every time we appoint a new manager, so in favor, others not, but to call it Bizarre behavior is not correct. It's also not irrational, if anything, its human behavior. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Stevie G makes us a bit more marketable. The only positive is that SG must have seen something he likes and/or promised transfer kitty cash.

Pretty much a done deal according to my mate. Only things left to negotiate is who Gerrard takes with him form the backroom and not leave Rangers too exposed without any first team coaches. Apparently...thought I'd share. For £7m we take the boardroom table with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a big difference between not wanting the bloke appointed and actively wanting him to fail from the start if he is - I have serious doubts anyone on this forum or in the wider world of Villa fans want the latter. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People post there thoughts on here. If 90% of the forum was against Stevie G - it wouldn't make one iota of of difference as to whether he fails or not. -thats down to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turvontour Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I think where we are as a club, a lot of our appointments and signings are gambles. Danny Ings maybe one if not the only ones in recent times where you knew exactly what you were getting. And to be fair, the majority of the gambles have paid off in the last few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only immediate positive effect with this that I know is that Murphy said that Gerrard wouldn't go to us as we're not a big enough club. According to Danny M. Our ceiling is apparently too low. Would be nice to hear him explain this. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, what the actual f**k is this? Guys one of the biggest characters the prem has seen in the last 25 years, was at the absolute top of the game and would be an inspiration to any of our youngsters who we all want to do well. He's not my ideal pick either but to say he has no character or personality is just comical. He doesn't look inspiring? What the hell does that mean?? Does he need to be Spartacus or something? Attila the Hun?? 11 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallisFrizz Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Don’t get the big deal about the money if it’s who we really want. The manager is more key to the success of a club than any individual player yet you wouldn’t even get a decent PL squad player for 7mil. Most new managerial appointments don’t cost because they are out of work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Spoony Posted November 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2021 Just some weird weird arguments on here. You can counter pretty much all of them. You know who else had only managed in Scotland? Sir Alex Fergusson. You know who we’ve hired who have won big things? Roberto Di Matteo. You know who else had loads of Premier League experience? Steve Bruce. You can spin it however you want…just support him if he comes in. Sure you’re allowed to be disappointed but there’s a lot of hyperbole on here and that all needs to stop if this happens. 24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be imperative that we get his back room coaches too though. Paying all that compo and only getting Gerrard would not be it. Won’t be that high for Gerrard , doubt that high for him and his staff combined . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
