I'm happy with what I heard, but a formal press conference will be more in depth than a 12 minute video. Other than that, it was mentioned that it would be today, so I was wondering when it was. Sorry but that’s silly bollocks. He had an interview, we heard plenty, he’s got to work and wants to get his head down. We don’t need the assembled media, Gerrard, Purslow, and Lange in formal wear for a glorified PR stunt. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds to me like you've never listened to a press conference before, but you have your desires and who am I to argue with them. I sincerely hope you get your wish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) Do they still do formal press conferences? Its usually in house for various media outlets to quote verbatim. Newspapers don't have the staff anymore to go to a football training ground and ask non screened questions. The last time I remember we had a proper new manager press conference with a table and everything was probably O'Neill.

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Cant wait for the ban on late night Call of Duty sessions to be enforced and no more midday starts for training. That approach certainly didnt work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were all talking about a tuesday presser over the weekend, I was merely asking after it. There is no need to go off on one. Silly bollocks? Up yours pal. 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Designer1 Posted November 16, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted November 16, 2021 I'm not quite sure why @HKP90 is getting grief for wanting to see how Gerrard fares in an actual press conference and not an in-house interview? I'm kind of intrigued myself. 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's like proper famous and ting. Except we got him 15 years too late... Typical Villa, once again... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure there would be that much to say that already hasn't been said anyway, especially when he has so little time with the squad to assess or feedback. I think the breather is good for him and his team. I'd rather they concentrate on Sat than media nonsense asking the same shit questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is all fine, except I only asked when the press conference was because we'd been told there was one. At no point did I argue for or against the merits of one, other than to say that I generally want to hear more from Gerrard, which I would imagine at some point we all do.

Christ, I'm done with this now. Forget I ever mentioned it. I'm being cross examined about a throw away comment. It was being discussed on here over the weekend, by a number of people. I don't know where they got it from. I know nothing else about it. I was asking, because I know nothing else about it, but some on here appeared to. I honestly don't care enough about it to carry on. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Please God, no more Stevie G. He is our manager now, not some daft amateur who has come in to manage the club, and that just sounds disrespectful. I always refer to managers, staff, owners, players by their surname anyway. It is probably my age, but I never call anyone whom I don't know personally by their christian name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He addressed the Villa fans through the clubs in house channel. The questions were obviously pre-prepared and he was given time to practice the answers. The club arent going to post a hard hitting interview. I doubt Sunderland let Keane go completely mad on the in house channel for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
