Its best to remove him now and get in a real manager from the summer He will not be removed before the start of next season. You’re just going to have to accept that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no basis, proven pedigree or track record of him doing what we need this summer in a competitive league. If our players are as bad as he says they are (which I don’t necessarily believe) then it’s going to be a huge job, and I think it’s fair to question his credentials for it. Indeed, in the blink of an eye we could well be in Big Sam territory, God forbid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Its not really an excuse since Gerrard said no excuses which ironically he makes weekly Smith for example got us promoted with not his squad he just added Mings and Hause.

Sherwood was technically here for half a season and people wanted him gone after he got us to a cup final with a shitter squad Why is Gerrard different, he has done nothing in management to indicate it except beat Neil Lennon (who managed in a Championship relegation battle) in a title race Edited April 10, 2022 by Zatman 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post david-avfc Posted April 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2022 A decent manager surely has to be able to get the best out of whatever players they have available as a basic element of the job? We can’t go out and spend 200-300m every time we get a new manager in. If we had improved under Gerrard then of course we’d say let’s see how far we can progress after a few signings, but as we haven’t improved to me it just seems like the references to needing a transfer window are just an excuse for not getting it right on the pitch 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughable Chimp Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, lexicon said: From my calculations:Deano in 2021 (the year he is widely criticised for) had a PPG of 1.17 Gerrard has a PPG of 1.23 Across a season that's a 2 point difference, and Deano definitely had a worse squad to work with. I don't think this calculation is correct. I'm getting 1.11 for Smith and 1.30 for Gerrard. Edit: Looks even worse if you're looking at the last 20 games Smith managed, which is the same amount Gerrard has managed for us so far. He'd be 1.05PPG Edited April 10, 2022 by Laughable Chimp 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday first half no but in general it is. Its a lot worse than last season for example We are a midtable team in no danger of relegation and playing like Rafa or Bruce nearly everyweek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
