useless Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Better for Gerrard to bounce now, and let someone else, be it a new manager or a tempory manager, have the Fulham and Brentford games, otherwise we're in danger of us doing okay in those games which would be a good thing in of itself but would only be a short term fix before we go on a run of bad form again, as said previously we don't want to keep going in circles where he's on the brink of the sack and then does just enough to keep his position and so on and so on. Now is the perfect time to make a change. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the higher ups had been a bit more proactive we might not have **** our season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayls Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Wonder if the fans will continue to have the p*** taken out of them after that. Relegation zone getting closer and closer with fewer games to get out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 So the question here is do the owners honestly believe he is doing a good job, or if not he can turn this around? If they do then I'm sorry but they may be good businessmen who saved us, but their investment is dead getting relegated. Gerrard will take us down. Surely they see this?

Popular Post ozvillafan Posted October 16, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2022 This time last season we sacked our coach who got us promoted, kept us up and got a solid mid-table finish because "we couldn't see the continuous improvement we expected". After 10 games he had 10 points. That's 1 more than we have now after the same number of games. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) Slight issue is whenever we do sack him, Critchley will be presumably handed the reigns. Critchley is doing all the training now. They'll be no change for the players for a while. Fingers crossed Critchley is coaching around this shit system that will never work and can actually make us look a bit different from the off.

He does what Gerrard asks him. At least he’d play with proper wingers if he was in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grobs Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I don’t think he will be sacked. Was expecting a bit more outrage and Gerrard out stuff from the fans today considering the uproar online 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly seems like an open-and-shut case when you put it like that, but what I fear you haven't considered is the overriding imperative not to make Christian Purslow have to admit to making a mistake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted October 16, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 16, 2022 I think he’s going to have the Fulham game. Today can easily be “First defeat in four matches”, “Gave it a real go against an in form Chelsea”, “Individual errors”… They’ll be expecting a similar attacking threat against Fulham on Thursday. Failure to win and that might be it. If we win, it’s still on borrowed time. As @HanoiVillansays, actually being in the relegation zone might do it more than a defeat to Fulham. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyVillans Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Now we spend next week hoping that he is gone each day we wake up but we will end up seeing Luiz, Mcginn, Ramsey starting against Fulham as we go back to basics in the hope of a 0-0 draw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishVilla10 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Draw against Fulham, lose to Brentford, then it’s but United are top 6. Then it’s Brighton, then it’s give him the break. Get him gone now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said it at the time and everything since just confirms it. We were desperate to get him before any other club did and Smiths bad spell gave him the perfect opportunity.
