I actually don't like the way we're set up at the moment, so hopefully a new coach will come with some new ideas. *Cough* 4-2-3-1 *Cough* 3-4-2-1 *Cough* There was me thinking you’d be a 4-123 kinda guy Edited May 31, 2022 by CarryOnVilla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realise Beale had spent time as Sao Paulo assistant manager Under Rogerio Ceni which is why I am annoyed he hasnt trained Martinez to score free kicks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks, couldn't cut it in Scotland as a Manager ( a quick Google says the players said his training wasn't good enough) and has since followed Nuno around with a bad brand of football. Not for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be surprised if that's his preferred way of playing. Surely directive comes from Gerrard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just left Sociedad, quite well-regarded as a coach and possibly has a good relationship with Gerrard. Just saying Just left as a coach or as number 1?

To a promotion last season I believe, remember reading at the time that it was their first in about 5 decades or something. Also had a similar role at Madrid that Gerrard had at Liverpool previously. He was meant to take over at Mochengladbach before he bailed to take the Sociedad gig though so maybe it's just a pipe dream and he has his sights set on a head coach/manager role, I like the idea all the same though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard has played under some top managers and played with some top players so will have picked up endless amounts of experience over the years. As others have said it's not like Beale decided everything. Gerrard is the manager and hopefully with better players he can prove now how good he is. Not as if he'll be short of contacts for a replacement either I've seen nothing to suggest Gerrard is a tactically astute manager. Player pull and pashun are his key attributes. We need a replacement for Beale asap. Edited May 31, 2022 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsky_11 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 3 minutes ago, CarryOnVilla said: Man what are Villa going to do without our that tactical genius that got us to 14th Quote Perhaps the most vital moment in Aston Villa's campaign was the decision to replace Dean Smith with Steven Gerrard in November. Despite a mediocre 14th place finish, the switch has been wholly justified, especially when it comes to defensive displays. Gerrard's reputation of being an outstanding organiser at Rangers has translated to the Premier League. Villa conceded 20 times in 11 matches under Smith this season, averaging 1.66 xGA per game. In the subsequent 27 games with Gerrard as manager, they've allowed 34 goals and averaged 1.37 xGA per game — a significant improvement of 0.29. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted May 31, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 31, 2022 sounds like we've been aware of his interest in a manager job for a while. be amazed if we don't have a shortlist to start working through already 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 57 minutes ago, Tomaszk said: It's shit but this really is the best possible time for it. Not mid-season. Also bit worried Beale could take some underneath coaches away with him. Any coaches he's been impressed with can now go and be his assistant manager as a step up. Lange should have some names around but there will be no relationship there with Gerrard or players. This is the lead training ground guy, it's a very important role. You're vulnerable like this when you appoint an old school manager who's not a coach. Exactly. If it was going to happen this is the best time for it. Get a new man in for pre season Wouldnt suprise me if he tried get carragher on board although why would he leave his comfy job at sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I wouldnt be opposed to get ash young on some training courses and give him a coaching role once he hangs up his boots. I think he could be a very good coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
