Is that really too much to ask? Yes. How about just employing Poch or Tuchel or Emery instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People need to temper their expectations if they think the list will be much different now.

ferguson1 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Next appointment will be absolutely crucial. First and foremost, keep us in the league and cement a mid table finish this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It clearly was a very big risk employing Gerrard, reckless, given he had no experience of management in the PL or any other top league in Europe. Too much of a risk and it's backfired.

Zero7 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 If people on here think ewe get get the like of Tuchal or Potch, then you are going to be in for a very rude awakening. These managers are not ‘project’ managers, they are elite and mange in the upper tier of the game, not taking teams that are bordering on relegation. We are in bargain bucket to mid tier managers. Despite our money, we are NOT and attractive proposition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 17 hours ago, VillaParkAvenue said: There’s a big difference between those two though. For Gerrard to be offered a better job, he’d have to be successful at Villa first (sounds absurd now). Poch on the other hand has proven himself already and could receive offers from day one. I still think it would be worth it to appoint Poch if he said yes, but the risk of him suddenly leaving would be real. Depends if really likes the project. He was very loyal at Spurs and really invested in them and turned down offers (probably to his detriment in the end). All we can do is get in contact with his agent and ask the question (although I suspect we already have). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have been truly shit, if indeed they existed. Hasenhuttl's name was sort of floated after the appointment. Given he was in three days after DS was sacked he was the clear favourite by some margin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have sacked him after the first game. Gerrard won 4 of his first 6 league games in charge. If we do that again we're in the mix for 7th-9th. We're only 5 points off Brighton so while we won't be getting close to them or Newcastle while Gerrard is here we can at least attempt to finish above them if we get someone in who hits the ground running. Just giving Gerrard another 5 games and it will be desperate blind faith and basically self-sabotage on another season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
