Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I personally have a dislike for Rodgers... Potter or Pochettino for me but I don't think the latter would join Villa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do sympathize with him in some capacity. Clowns like Gerrard and Lampard are gifted huge PL jobs based on name alone. Well he was a pretty damn good player too and can't get a sniff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has nowhere to go after Beale left who's been carrying him his entire managerial career. Rodgers is the right fit for us. A training ground coach. An excellent one at that. Pie in the sky stuff from fans talking about Pochettino. Same with Potter. His ceiling is so high now. Tuchel has made a ropey start with Chelsea. If your Potter your thinking those are the kinda jobs he could be linked with. I couldn’t see him taking the Villa job. I just want a no frills manager who will actually work with players and make us better. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id drive up to villa park to celebrate rodgers arrival if he came like o neill was appointed. He would be a massive coup for us.

I have always liked him. I fear he may have too much of the dour about him for this job tho. Rodgers looks like he should take a couple of years off, move to Honduras and teach schoolkids to play ball or something. He’s gone from job to job and looks tired. But he would obviously be a huge improvement on Gerrard, and unless there are better candidates why not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s easy to be sidetracked about how things are going for Rodgers at Leicester at the minute. He has an owner who doesn’t seem interested in investing. Has had a summer of weekly murmurings of his best players leaving. FA Cup winner. 2 europa league campaigns. Barely missed out on champions league both times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 5 minutes ago, Keyblade said: Give the next guy some free hits against City and Arsenal. He can't do any worse than 0 points, which is what Gerrard got last season. Who knows, they might surprise us. Remi Garde got a 0-0 draw in his debut against City and we were on a longer run than this. I think it would be way too quick to replace Gerrard for those games anyway. I'd sack him tonight and get on the blower to Delaney to be caretaker, then spend a week trying to convince Pochettino this is the club for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 With hindsight appointing Gerrard was a massive gamble. I am pretty sure any of us could manage Celtic or Rangers and win something. It's clearly not working and I doubt it ever will. We will lose the next two games but the manner of those defeats will define Gerrard's future. Put simply we don't do anything well now and that needs to change quickly. It's clear to me that he has lost the dressing room at least in part and they just don't believe in his philosophy and tactical decisions. We need an experienced PL manager who can get the best out of the players who are currently very short on confidence and self belief. Poch to me is the obvious choice or perhaps Rodgers who is clearly being shafted at Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Rodgers is on £10m a year at Leicester according to internet. They'll want a big compensation to release him as well. Unless he is sacked by them I think he's out of our price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyp Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Also this, Rodgers signed Coutinho. He knows how to get a tune out of him. Signed Milner, Firmnio and Gomez too. I’d have no problem taking Rodgers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) I think it's likely to be Brendan. Which, as long as he employs a proper defensive coach, I'm fine with. Edited August 28, 2022 by stewiek2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
