jacketspuds Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Gerrard needs the summer window to put his stamp on the team. My concern though is that the likes of Buendia and Bailey, who could be great for us, will be moved on and will find their form again. As long as we don’t sell them to another PL team I guess.

Even smith managed to beat some of the top sides. Id give him until end of season if this shit continues then he has to be sacked as this is simply not good enough. No. Our players just aren’t good enough - the manager is still on trial. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find this to be a very unusual argument. Surely one thing most people agree upon is the quality of the signings Gerrard has made. If he signs players as good as Digne, Coutinho and Chambers then we will be in a great position for any new manager coming in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it doesn't work out, we're just throwing it all out and rebuilding the squad again are we? How much patience do the owners have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I would say though is that Purslow has really put his neck on the line with this appointment. If it fails, Purslow needs to go as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messi11 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 GET HIM OUT NOW!

Not for me, you cabt sack your ceo because he gets one managed appointment wrong. How many clubs would be sacking their ceos on this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've heard about Purslow's time at Liverpool, he'd happily let Gerrard have a go on his wife, so he's probably just enjoying the time they have together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I have no loyalty to Gerrard. Desperate for him to succeed, but he's not overwhelming me with belief that he's the guy to get us to the next level. I'm also worried about how he'll assemble the team over the summer and if it will align with our long term objectives of sustainability and youth integration. If Purslow were to be ruthless and drop the axe, I wouldn't be bothered at all, frankly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Silvers Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Honestly think he's playing this all perfectly, at best we move up a couple of places, this way he can go to the board for for 300m instead of 100m, gonna be a great summer, every cloud and all that.

MrSmirch Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Imagine getting this job with these owners on the back of winning the SPL. Gerrard and the man who hired him need to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today was harsh on us and I guarantee you that when the emotion subsides most fans will see that. Tough one to take but we have played much worse than that this season and won. We don't though. We don't win more than we lose and we don't perform like that because we're ridiculously inconsistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League competitions are a marathon not a sprint. We beat Liverpool 7-2 so does that make us league championship material? Of course not so we should not quote selective results to prove anything.

Not sure my old brain can cope with doing it every summer! I dread to think of our player turnover since that summer Sherwood was in charge. Like a revolving door!
