Interested to hear from @brummie as to what AVFC social media is like with regards to Gerrard and his first couple of days.

 

It going to be interesting as the first game is against Brighton, and apart from some slack defending on Liverpool's front or was it slack finishing, and then some slack defending on theirs, they Brighton would be on a 2 game winning streak. Put that up against a 5 game losing streak - and it has away win all over it.

 

1-3 BHA

Farke to Lampard seems like one hell of a step backwards to me. 

[Rafalove]

Why?

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.

 

 

 

 

It is inevitable. Unless he does a completely horrible job in which case the calls will quite down for a few years. The minute he does somewhat decent elsewhere, the calls will start again.

Be really interesting that. I thought he seemed too much of a joker for management but he's done a superb job at Bromley.

 

Good job to go into as well, they're going well this season and Challinor jumping ship was a real surprise.

Surprising, Martinez still has no suitors given his release clause is considered low.

 

He's the manager of the #1 national team in the world, going through qualifying and into a World Cup year. Of course he doesn't have suitors man.

He learnt from the best.

Was Challinor that striker a few years ago that scored a boat load of goals ?

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

Find this weird, like.

He was the long throw in specialist who played for Tranmere

That's a wind up by Liverpool IMO. Dirty move

[The Bonk]

This is even better than his Bruce impression.

[Gavin400]

Why are people not talking about Bruce to Rangers. Tons of experience and nice bloke.

Gutted if that happens, Bromley took a gamble on him and he’s doing really well. 

[Shush]

Does anyone know if the rumour that Gerrard likes to keep a kipper under his pillow for luck before each game he manages is true or not? Most bizarre one I've heard in a while for football superstition behaviour, but it has done well for him at Rangers it seems. And I presume he will keep doing it at Villa.

Bruce wouldn’t survive a month up there, first night in the chipper.. “a battered mars bar!?!?!? What witchcraft is this?!?”

 

His arteries would be fully clogged up within 3 weeks.

He's literally been doing the same impressions for about 20 years.

[brummie]

You lot go on about Bruce and how awful he was here, and how depressing the whole episode was.

 

We had him in the Championship, which meant he used to roll out - three times a week - his catchphrase, "That's the Championship" (message being: I know the Championship).

 

Shit. Just coughed up some sick thinking about it.

[Ketsbaia]

In his final days, he mentioned wanting players to 'dust themselves down' so much I was convinced he had a contract with Mr Sheen.

 

Could be his next career move tbh. He's certainly got the charisma for it. The prick.

[KaKa]

Remember when I said the media would be insufferable about Gerrard?

 

Well it's started already. Apparently we are kicking ourselves for not getting him instead of Howe and getting Gerrard would have been met with scenes similar to Keegan's homecoming!!!    

 

What on earth that is based on I will never know, but I am just so happy we didn't end up with one of these media darlings that get fawned over by the press, so over that mess we experienced with Bruce.

sounds a bit fishy that 

[Ben]

From what I've read and heard this week about Gerrard, he doesn't actually do fuck all, he's just a figure head for the coaching team, gives a team talk before the game, a bollocking at halftime then takes all the glory when they win.
