Perhaps fraudiola can teach him something about being a manager right before he's sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Completely scrapping the transfer policy just for this clown to do what he likes is also absolutely criminal from everyone higher up. Probably an even worse decision than appointing this bloke in the first place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then he was panic sacked to get a big name in. Smith was not panicked-sacked. We were regressing under Smith for quite some time. Gerrard was obviously the wrong appointment but people need to stop pretending we were moving along ok under Smith because in the end we weren't. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder he gets spiky whenever someone mildly questions him. He's been used to people laying the red carpet for him his whole life. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Older players on high wages is not a business model mid table clubs should be doing. Your first point is a legit concern. Older players on big wages are difficult to get rid off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably an even worse decision than appointing this bloke in the first place. Look we brought in Kamara. We got Coutinho for a small fee for a player of his quality, and we signed Carlos who was the best CB in a team that let in the fewest goals in la Liga. Hell digne was a captain and had been everyone's best player for the last 3 seasons. None of those are bad signings. Gerrard just cannot get any production from them. I agree we need to bring in some more players but we didn't scrap the system for purchases. We bought 2 players to add some experience to the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll just blame the ref for the penalty. In fairness it was a joke decision but we were terrible for most of today's game so most of us will see through that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I’d like a manager who there is no fan fare over. Who is without ego. Who puts on elite level coaching sessions, improves players and goes out with a semblance of a plan. Why does there need to be a **** story attached with every incoming villa manager. “ His dad was steward down the Villa or he was one of the greatest Liverpool players ever “ I DONT CARE. This silly bollocks crap that we fall for every time . Run the club properly and bring in the best people. Christ on a bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buendia aswell. Notice no one is saying 6th or 7th but there are loads of managers out there who could coach this squad to 9th or 10th imo as it's not that hard in normal seasons (DS was very unlucky in 20/21 getting 55 points and only finishing 11th). We finished 9th in 2011 with 45 points We were rubbing shoulders with the top 6 for most of the 20/21 season with guys like El Ghazi and Traore starting regularly who are now training with the kids or heading to Turkey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaming the squad is a cop out Brighton or Brentford are much better coached with players not as good Those first games was a new manager bounce First couple games he hadn't had a chance to install this disastrous system. As soon as he got it installed, around that Newcastle game, it's been awful ever since. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In practice, his time had come, as he had had also reached the limit of his abilities, so it was the right time to sack him, but Gerrard was the wrong replacement. Oh well, back to the drawing board, as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV82 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Let me get this straight Gezza. You've had your pre-season, now have a fully fit Leon Bailey and have been bolstered by one of the most sought after #6's in the game in Boubacar Kamara and we look worse? You're a **** fraud. Get out of this club now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV82 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Gerrard has to be one of, if not the, worst managers we've ever had. Our squad is **** electric on paper. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
