#AstonVilla are working to convince #RangersGlasgow’s coach Steven #Gerrard to become the new coach of #Villans. Offered 3-years contract. #transfers #AVFC #RangersFC

Think he's well connected and a pretty respected journalist, so this is a bit of a worry.  Purslow wants Gerrard doesn't he?

Very, very bad feeling about all this.

Fair query, Edge, as I know I can be flippant sometimes, but no, on this occasion, absolutely serious. I’d prefer her over Gerrard, Hassenhutl and some of the other dreary journeymen put forward. We would be picking her as a manager / coach, not a player, ex or otherwise, after all.

I feel sick.  Worried Dean and NWSE gave us our Villa back just for us to fuck it up again

I will be gutted if it is Gerrard.

Dwight Yorke or Thierry Henry, (just not Gerrard).

Don't care about the stepping stone aspect, I just think he's a melt.

We I’m ignoring Twitter as I saw a rather tenuous Erik Tan Hag link

It’s like thinking big with your big telly then boasting about your Betamax.....

There’s a manager available who is popular with his players, and has taken his last club from mid table in tier two, to mid table in tier one in 3 seasons. In the toughest league on the world. While handling multiple injuries and international travel commitments.

The only criteria for the new manager is can we fit his name into the Super John McGinn song?

If not then he's not in contention & I'm not tolerating using Stevie G.

We already have a song for Stevie G

Only Villa could replace a universally liked decent coach like Dean Smith with a universally disliked and arguably worse coach in Steven Gerrard.

After I wanted Deano gone it would truly redefine 'be careful what you wish for.'

"He's Zinadine's man, he's better than Zidane"

Surely?

Yep, get Deano back , quick ! Please not Gerrard

I can guarantee one thing. Gerrard would not get the same time that Smith got if we lost 18 out of 34. The fans would have him gone.

[KevinGage]

On ts the villa fans who called in have said they want Gerrard.  One even said he wants Lampard.  Jesus

Lampard would be a absolute disaster and ia no upgrade on smith. Id have rather have kept Smith than Lampard.

Hell no to frank

I'm listening aswell. In minority but I actually like listening to Danny Murphy. However he's certainly got an issue with us. Him just dismissing the Villa fan who said how well West Ham were doing after battling us in relegation in 19/20 was ridiculous.

Didn't he pen an article a few years back saying he found Villa Park a really drab place to play at compared to likes of Elland Road?

I assume his ex wife or his former hairdresser is a Villa fan.
