His Name Is Death Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Also posted in the Purslow thread. Incredibly worrying. https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-purslow-gerrard-manager-25261776 Quote What Christian Purslow said when asked about Steven Gerrard Aston Villa future The Villa CEO was present at this week’s Fans’ Consultation Group meeting to discuss Villa’s two new crest designs ahead of the chosen one - either a round 82-style or ‘gas lamp’ medieval shield shape - featuring on next season’s new kit. Purslow, meanwhile, was asked about Villa’s current form and, according to Villa blogger MOMS, stressed his side had been “unlucky” in recent games and, with a bit more fortune in the final third, it could have easily been six points instead of two against Leeds and Forest. Elsewhere, it’s understood that Gerrard has the full backing from Purslow and the club’s owners, Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens, while it was also cited that replacing the manager - W8 D8 L13 so far in 2022 - hasn't even been spoken about despite concerns amongst some sections of supporters. Villa sit in 16th but, having taken nine points from nine this season, Gerrard’s position remains a strong one with the club hoping Villa can pick up in the next few weeks. The head coach now enters a three-game week against Chelsea, Fulham and Brentford and it’s understood Purslow and Villa’s hierarchy hope Villa will be in and amongst the top-half of the Premier League by the time the six-week World Cup break comes around next month which, in turn, will then give Gerrard the chance to reset and to really kick-start Villa’s season heading into 2023. Staying with Purslow and, at this week’s meeting, he outlined how the loss of Diego Carlos and Boubacar Kamara had been pivotal to Villa’s poor start to the season. It’s hoped that Kamara will be back for the Liverpool game on Boxing Day while Diego Carlos could make his return as soon as January to give Villa a much-needed boost ahead of a strong finish to the current campaign. “The loss of Diego Carlos was cited as pivotal,” MOMS outlined. “Purslow was undoubtedly impressed with what he’s seen by Carlos on and off the pitch, adding how he’d have been Villa captain if he spoke frequent English.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 3 hours ago, jim said: I respect you Jim. You're standing by your belief and you have a very optimistic view on things. I would like to share your optimism, but alas I do not. As one of the later members to fully give up on Gerrard, I can understand some of where your coming from. But after seeing the same old mistakes being made after the Man City game, and nothing note worthy in any of our performances since, I have no faith he'd ever turn it around and stick with a working team for any length of time. He'd drop the players and formation that worked for the very next game. What have you seen in the last 5 games that still gives you belief he knows what he's doing? Would a loss in our next two games see you join the dark side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, neither Purslow or the Owners are dumb to the current fan feelings, to the results, the performances and their own views of games. No way are they watching the games and thinking we are unlucky or on the cusp of turning it around. The fact they haven’t acted concerns me but there is no way they are happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post IrishVilla10 Posted October 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2022 What’s going to click exactly? The terrible formation and tactics that every football manager and fan in the uk are aware of? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Simply put.His remit is a top half finish.After 9 games we are 16th,so,obviously after the next 5/6 games Ferrard expects us to be about 4th. Not bad considering we have played teams below us and have 9 points from 9 games.Now we only have teams above us and we are going to start climbing up the ladder ?!

We’d open ourselves to employment law issues, look massively unprofessional and alienate potential names.

Popular Post IrishVilla10 Posted October 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2022 One big moment. How about you start again, realise that what you’ve been trying to do for 11 months isn’t working and show an ounce of tactical capability. We’re now going into a run of 5 very tough fixtures and one big moment isn’t going to make the difference. Jesus wept 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
