Yep OGS got the Man U job despitr not doing much at Cardiff. IMO Gerrard can be pretty average at villa and still get the Liverpool Job. The big clubs with massive spending power and a solid infrastructure and solid revenue streams - can have a poor season - but quickly recover from it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might not affect him as much as his family. I also think Alex his wife, was a big influence on him coming to Villa. We have to factor in, many footballing personnel,over the years, coming to Villa, actually fell in love with the place after spending time with us.....not saying he will, but he could develop a strong affection for us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know what they are like, but thats not all his fault......Adulation is created by the circus, not the act. I still think, plenty of stars have to be aligned, for that to happen. SG is just a fan, of Liverpool now, just like Jack is a fan of Aston Villa, like Marc Albrighton. don't read too much in to it, Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few above half way finishes with villa will put him in the frame for the Liverpool job. Although I suspect he will return in a minor role and be promoted from within.

See that’s something I would massively disagree with. I think he would have to get top 6 and a trophy, possibly even top 4 to even be in the conversation with the Liverpool hierarchy. Assuming that Liverpool carry on at their current level for the remainder of Klopp’s tenure, they will have the pick of top coaches/managers so I don’t think they would just make the romantic choice for the sake of it. Of course that is just my opinion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
