I think he’ll excel, for all hype around the PL, even Steve Bruce has had a good few season managing shitty teams, Villa have a good strong squad and seem ambitious and pro-active. He will have every chance to succeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 it's a gamble, he's done fantastically with rangers bringing them from way behind Celtic to stopping the 10 in a row and doing reasonably well in Europe last year but the standard in the premier league is higher and he's not got a lot of room for error. Surprised he's going mid season mind given he's Steven Gerrard its not as if someone wouldn't take a punt on him at some stage so what's the rush?

Gaztoon Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Personally think Gerrard is going to be a very good manager ..he comes across as a guy that can motivate players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard looks like he could have all the ingredients of a top manager, but its hip to write off the young English manager who had a good playing career. It's a gamble though, just like Howe here (may be less of a one with current position/squad) and could got either way. Rather have Howe but I don't think there's too much difference if I'm honest. The worst thing about Gerrard is the Liverpool job which will haunt & overshadow every step of his Villa career. That's not something I really could be arsed with, guess Brummie & Co will feel the same. At least Lampard has done and bust his Chelsea dream job.

toontownman Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Bad news for us. Think Gerrard will give them enough of a lift this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Most of the SPL are league one standard, so I find it very hard to properly judge him right now. All you can really say is that it’s a gamble IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of them have even convinced themselves that they wouldn't have taken Conte and even that there is literally not one manager out there right now that can do a better job than Ole Devil's advocate, but fans of other teams couldn't understand why we hated Pardew. Yet the reasons are obvious to us, the fans of the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) Even if he does well at Villa, if he goes there, he doesn't really have any right to be in the running for the Liverpool job considering the stature that Klopp had before going and the level of the standards that have now been set.

Kimbo Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) I always found the assumption that Liverpool would take him strange. They will be able to go for the best managers in the world, so unless Gerrard really dominated Celtic over a few years I don’t see why they would go for him.

Same was with Lampard at Chelsea. His only managerial experience was failing to get Derby promoted. Same with OGS at Man Utd. Teams often appoint managers that are going to be popular, rather than actually suitable for the role. Have no doubt Gerrard will end up at Liverpool after Klopp, even if he just does an average job at Villa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Gerrard has an awful lot to do to make himself worthy of the Liverpool job, given where Klopp has taken them. I know it'd be a sentimental appointment but unless he really proves himself at PL level, he could take Liverpool back a long way. I wouldn't want to be the manager that follows Klopp. On a hiding to nothing. EDIT : Didn't see that kisearch said the same just before me.

Is it? 1 domestic trophy out of nine since he went to Rangers with the resources available to him being significant for the league. I'd say its a promising start to a career but nothing exceptional and nothing to suggest that he will be bale to take Villa up a notch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 High risk/high reward kind of appointment. If he's the real deal they could really push on with the right backing, if not it could quickly end in tears. Will be watching with great interest.

Dr Jinx Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Yep very interesting, the thing is even if he is the real deal that means it’ll only be a temporary job until Liverpool becomes free. It could even go on to have a knock on effect of destabilising Klopp if he’s really doing well. Along with the news of Michael Edward leaving, they suddenly seem a little bit vulnerable to external factors. Its not really about Villa at all, and this is precisely the reason I’m delighted he didn’t end up here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
