That is not going to happen with Slippy G as manager though. Turgid football. If it was a choice between getting told that a win Monday will keep him in a job for the season or a loss guaranteed that Slippy would be sacked after losing Monday i would snap your hand off at the latter. He has no idea what he is doing! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I hate to say it, but I kinda agree with @messi11. Only way Gerrard is getting sacked is if we lose games. Purlsow will not sack his man if he is scrapping out 1-0 wins or 0-0s. I want to see us win and do well, but at the same time I want Gerrard gone. It's a double edged sword.

I think a loss to Forrest is enough to get him gone! A draw to Forest just makes it a long painful sacking. Just get it over with! Guys calling me troll just because they don't agree with me for wanting Forest to win are the same guys who want Gerrard out. Make your minds up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it meant Gerrard was to go, one game of misery, rather than many more months of draining, dire football. No brainer. We're so bad under Gerrard we're going to go on a losing run at some point. There's really no need to wish it to happen, because it will happen. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The_Steve Posted October 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2022 Each to their own, but will never willingly want us to lose a match to sack a manager we don’t need. Steven’s perfectly capable of doing that himself 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really concerned at the ineptitude of our board at the moment. He's clearly not ready / learning on the job. It's not going to change anytime soon. Just sack him, get it over and done with and get in a proper manager. I don't understand why we are waiting any longer for the inevitable? If we draw or eek a result out against Forest, then it will be Fulham or Brentford at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Thats quite close to the way I see it as well.The only difference is that the owners apparently want a top 5/6 finish,the staff all know that.What I dont get is why cant they see ( all of them ) that SG will not achieve that.

Steven’s perfectly capable of doing that himself yeah id never want us to lose but i am firmly in the territory of not wanting an unlucky 1-0 defeat, forest arent going to stick 3 or 4 past us and get gerrard the boot, it'll be a scrappy poor 1 goal loss which won't see him sacked so i dont see the point in that thats an issue with gerrard, he's got us tight enough at the back that i dont see anyone putting a knee jerk scoreline past us, he'll be here for a while yet, he'll blag enough points in the next 4 games, we're about to go on a run of 5 points that we should all be happy with...

PussEKatt Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Yeah,I dont want us to lose either...BUT if the owners said that one more loss and Gerrard goes,then I would gladly take the defeat.At the moment all we are doing ( under SG ) is wasting time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicRic Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Honestly i don’t believe Gerrard is a terrible manager but he is not a good one either ( AT THIS CURRENT MOMENT IN TIME) I appreciate him taking the role and stating his intentions with the club however im quite confident that he does not have what it takes to improve us in the way we are hoping for. With that being said i am in favour of him being removed from his post over the next couple weeks and allowing a German fella named Thomas Tuchel to step in and take the reign… allow tuchel and the guys he brings in to recruit the players he wants and not lange and his smurfs because that has not done us any favours Tuchel will basically start again after the world cup into the new year when the window opens to allow probably two more additions of his choosing and reshaping to then start again in the summer. Tuchel is much more geared up and should have us in better shape he would be better here then dealing with the high pressures at chelsea, there will be pressure with us no doubt but not to the level of stamford bridge. Tuchel would instantly get us a new forward and stop playing mcginn Poch i cant see coming here but I’ll happily take him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally can't see him joining us, he will wait, and jobs like Atletico, Juve, Inter etc. will become available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
