Next Manager Speculation and wishful thinking thread

[The_ads]

We shouldn’t write off  any* manager off before they’ve even walked through the door.

There’s a selection of the fan base that continue to have the temerity to write people off before they’ve had chance to prove themselves. Those that scoff at what Gerrard has achieved had absolutely no problem welcoming Dean Smith with open arms  despite having never finished above 11th in the Championship.

Those that claim they dislike the Liverpool connection will be the same people that will foam at the mouth when Grealish doesn’t clap the Holte end when he reappears in November. It’s blinkered, it’s weird, it’s not what we should be about. I get people have opinions and that’s what makes reading and participating in fan forums good but please let’s just get behind whoever is appointed.

FWIW I think Gerrard is a winner, he commands respect, he would bring with him a top class coaching set up and, if it happens, we should get right fucking behind him.


*everyone except Sam Allardyce

TBF Sam Allardyce has achieved much more as a manager than he has

What a ridiculous comparison. Allardyce has been a manager for 30 years and won precisely fuck all.

[Toronto Villa]

Surely an approach, if it’s even true because nobody else is reporting it, doesn’t mean he will be the manager. First it has to be granted. Second there will other candidates we will approach.

[Brazilian Villain]

Very much hoping Rangers tell us to sod off.

Might have to offer to play them in a 'friendly' to clinch the deal.

For a winner he hasn't, y'know, won much.

Depends if it's one of those "shortlist of one" scenarios.

I think Gerrard is number one choice anyway. If he/Rangers reject interesting who we go for next.

100% record as England manager

I hope I'm wrong but I think hell be gone before the start of next season

So for some of the wealthiest owners in world football, our Chief Exec has managed so narrow it down to a bloke who manages in a pub league with no other experience. Shit show from Purslow if true.

I’d find it really strange if we’d planned for that, it would seem to be just as big a risk as giving Dean another 10 games.

Exactly.

Exactly - IMO this takes us further backwards.  Apparently he likes more control then a "head coach" role.  which kinda pisses in the face of what were trying to do.

Think this is a mistake

Jamie Carragher or Pep Clotet.

Exactly this. Will lose a lot of faith in the board if this is true.

Anyway - I'm off to bed, getting myself too worked up by something that hasn't happened

[danno]

All that matters is Villa winning three points after ninety minutes, I'd take Lucifer in a tracksuit to guarantee that.

But I think courting Gerrard is starry eyed nonsense. I don't believe for a second if we had a different CEO he would be anywhere near our list of candidates.

But gawsh golly gee whizz! what a player he was!

Every domestic honour more than twice over bar the big one, European cup, UEFA cup and European Super cup.  But yeah - not much

With Liverpool  - FA cup (x2), Football League Cup (x3), FA Charity Shield, European Cup, UEFA Cup, European Super Cup

But apart from that…what have the Romans done for us?

And since 1996 we have won…what exactly?
