City, Arsenal and Hammers are 3 of our next 5 so over 6 points will be tough but I would expect 7 from the following 3 I thought I set him a nice target, anything under 6 is relegation form?

I think Gerrard has till the WC break to prove himself. If we are not top half then it is probably time to part ways 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You go for Potter in pure desperation, but he refuses to take you calls and his agent lets you know he won't touch a club that treats it's managers like that. Absolutely classless! Potter then signs a new contract with Brighton, win the league while Villa gets relegated on 5 points after the whole dressing room erupts in unrest. The club goes into administration, Villa Park torn down and a Tesco is built in it's place. The End. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purslow has to do what is right for Villa and not be sentimental about things. Villa is a business worth hundreds of millions and it needs to be managed as such GP or Poch? Personally I'd take GP as I think he would be here for the long haul and Poch if he succeeded would use us to leave to a bigger club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had Poch I would want him to turn us into the bigger team so there isn't a more attractive offer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could likely have his pick of big jobs. It’s more likely he’d have no interest in coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted August 18, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 18, 2022 I think I keep taking this thread way too seriously. It’s not advocating for a new manager, after all.

tinker Posted August 18, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 18, 2022 As long as we're not in a relegation position then Gerrard should get the season. We should then reconsider his position and look at the options available to us before any decision is made. The last thing we want to do is sack Gerrard or force him to walk away and then have a situation where no decent manager would come to us because of how we have dealt with Gerrard. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no good sacking him and ending up with another manager that's the best available at that time. We need to pick the next manager very carefully, if Gerrard doesn't work out, and he needs this season to see if it's going to work. Knee jerk reactions work nicely on the internet but in a real life situation they tend to be the prelude to disastrous events.

Knee jerk reactions work nicely on the internet but in a real life situation they tend to be the prelude to disastrous events. This. It's ok to think he is not the guy, but shortsightedly tossing managers out early doors is a recepie for disaster, long term. The club has made a decision that they believe that Gerrard is the one to help us push on. You seriously need to have the confidence to see your decisions through, not second guess yourself at the first signs of trouble. You need to believe in what you do, or you might as well just give up. If this season ends up falling short of the clubs aims we need to re-evaluate, and the club most consider what the next step should be based on the results. If things go to shit before that with a broken dressing room or similar, then yes, they need to re-evaluate sooner. But for now, like him or not, the rational thing, and what has been proven to work best, is to give him time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I'm hoping it goes very wrong at Leicester now so that Rodgers gets sacked and has a few months away from the game to relax and reflect before we try to bring him in ready for the January transfer window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
