imavillan Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Whoever the next manager is, if NSWE are as serious about taking us to the 'next level' as they say they are, it will have to be someone with a proven track record. Sell the plan/ambitions to Poch. We cannot afford another roll of the dice and gamble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duke313 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I’d be very surprised if we got Poch. He’s in no rush to jump at the first job that comes his way. He’s desperate for the United job, Ten Hag won’t last to the World Cup so Poch will wait for that. Anyway, we have a long wait, Gerrard isn’t going anywhere until the international break.

Hopefully they are doing the same now with the next manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sensible at all. We’ve spent big and gone backwards. In roughly the same time Howe and Vieira have transformed clubs from worse positions. Arteta has improved Arsenal by getting rid of high earners, we’re doing the exact damn opposite. I really don’t understand what more time given to this clown will achieve. He has no game plan, is rubbing up all our players in the wrong way. Seriously, the bizarrest decision has to be to take the arm band off Mings and give it to McGinn. Achieved nothing positive, and rocked the boat for no positive reason at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick76 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 The fans that have been arguing against me/others and dismissing the stats we have been using for some time are now using those same stats for the reason to get rid of Gerrard. Amazing what 24 hours can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_sun_never_sets Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 If we can get Poch I'd move immediately.... Otherwise we might as well see how the next 3 games pan out given they are all 'free hits' really as noone expects us to win.. then we can pull the ripcord if we get less than 3 points and the options are Potter, Rodgers or I'd even take Dyche (at least he has a plan) Reason I say this as Gerrard is dreadful on matchday....he does seem handy with attracting signings so might as well use his pull to assemble the best possible squad for the next manager. (Would Potter be able to attract such a high calibre of player immediately?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think we will have a strong finish to this season, getting at least another ten points, but finishing in Europe next season is going to be whole new challenge. Regretfully : ( it looking more and more like I was right all along, if it proves to be so, I want Pochettino as the replacement, or someone of that standing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reivax_Villa Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 We need a tactician and a someone that can coach. Gerrard is limited in both.. DS is a great coach but tactically wasn’t the best. We need a combination of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I find it ironic that Gerrard is moaning about inconsistency with the players, but it's his lack of tactical changes which are causing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
