avfc1982am Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 So, in his presser he said that he wants to be "judged in the now". And yet he is still here. Am I the only one starting to take a dislike to Gerrard and the element of incompetence he is giving off? I thought the situation was clouding my judgement of him but I'm actually starting to dislike listening to him. In a very similar way to Sherwood at the death.

jacketspuds Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Maybe our owners should be looking at Eddie Howe as an example of what a competent manager can achieve after being at a club for nearly a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) Out of the relegation zone on goal difference. What a great 12 months of progress there Stevie!

Sulberto21 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Check out the top 7….. I don’t care about Gerrard being our manager we need the points. It’s a desperate situation. Continuous progression. More like going down fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) Only out of the relegation zone on goal difference. We’ve had a relatively ‘soft’ start to the season too, having played against most of the bottom half of the division. 7 of the 10 teams we’ve faced so far are currently 10th or lower in the table.

Grim. I honestly don’t see how he’d still be in a job Friday morning if we don’t win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was covering ass. Same people were adamant we were in relegation trouble last year, but the funny thing is it took a 5 game losing run to get to the level we're at now, which means we've just consistently been that shit.

Villarcana Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 just outside the bottom 3, if he's not gone after anything other than two wins in the next 2, then I'm done with this season, this board and the dream we were sold , to make me feel disconnected like this from Villa is quite impressive. I just want to like us again, I'm sure many feel the same. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 3 hours ago, jackbauer24 said: I'm now under the impression that Gerrard is going nowhere soon. The lack of real stories about approaching managers, his general attitude and him saying he feels he has their support, added to the fact Purslow has a soft spot for him and we're not in relegation zone means he stays for a few months at least. Not until we're three or six points adrift will they consider his position I reckon. The general crowd are still a few games away from that yet (only pockets of boos) and the World Cup is coming. Depressing. If we lose the next 2 he will have to go. Otherwise I will have to question the sanity of our owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been given a talented, if somewhat unbalanced squad to work on with 2 transfer windows and significant financial backing. He had a whole pre season to impose his blueprint on the side which was not interrupted by either covid or star player issues. And to be fair to him he has actually made us look even worse. For £6 million. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
