foreveryoung Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Remember, for some who are still unsure if he should go or not. The fact is, when we was going good with Gerrard, we only ever beat the crap and still lost against the half decent teams. In reality, it's never been good with him in charge.

Wouldn’t surprise me if he gets Leicester and Southampton games also. I see some merit in letting him or a caretaker take the Arsenal and Man City whoopings, but giving him the Leicester and Southampton games would be unforgivable IMO, by that point we'll be 19th/20th, with morale at rock bottom, and making it much harder to turn things around. He should be clearing out his desk today with a caretaker for the next week while we get the right man in, IMO. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cos I put a silly bet on arsenal to win the league, so I asked Purslow to leave him charge for this game Edited August 29, 2022 by Villan_of_oz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still expect to see a marquee signing just to quell the fans current discontent Im not saying you’re wrong that he should go just that I don’t think the club are as close to that decision as fans are.

a m ole Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I wouldn’t be so incensed if he was admitting fault and was saying he was looking at what he and his staff are doing to rectify the problem and making changes instead of insinuating player effort is the problem. I’d think he could come back from that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s not seen it yet, he’s never going to He’s not the kind of person to ever accept, admit or state that he has ever been wrong or made a mistake. He will blame everyone else before he ever does that. What an unpleasant personality he is… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacbuddies Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 The lack of late activity in the transfer market is hopefully a sign that NSWE are not going to allow Gerrard to spunk any more of their money up the wall before they sack him!

Critchley actually has experience of coaching and management, plus we paid a fee for his services so we may as well get some small use out of him. He can’t do any worse than SG. The last thing we need is to hang on to and continually pay an incompetent face or figurehead for a failing regime… he can take his boys with him too, thank you very much. Useless. And can we please, for the love of all that is good, finally get rid of Danks and McPhee?! Please! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be given until the world cup unless we lose the next 4 games and performances are poor. So our hope is really for him to accept his system doesn't work and change it. To do that he needs wide forwards and thus we need to sign one in next few days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I think they are! I’m assuming they are working on his replacement first before pulling the trigger like they did with Smith so we aren’t without a manager for long.

Yep if he hasn’t done it all year what are people expecting to change in the next period of games. The owners will have seen this and will be acting behind the scenes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChesterDad Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 3 hours ago, Stevo985 said: I'm not sure I've ever known the fanbase to be so unanimous in wanting a manager out. Even by the end of Bruce's tenure he had more support than Gerrard has. I'm sure even McLeish had some backers by the end. I don't know a single Villa fan who wants Gerrard to stay That’s quite a big call tbh with you I feel - I don’t recall much if any support for McLeish, he was well and truly done going into the Norwich game, probably the Bolton game was the one that really signalled the end for him there wasn’t any turning things around - I see lots of similarities in how the Bruce, tenure ended and I see these in Gerrard now to be truthful with you.
