Steven Gerrard - yes or no

[Flin5tone]

He's done a fine job at Glasgow Rangers and really turned them around. Those that suggest it's a Pub League yet want Ten Hag so badly who also operates in a League of a similar standard to the Scottish one baffle me slightly.

I'd love Roy Hodgson until the Summer but from the candidates on the list Gerrard would probably be my preferred choice.

[ozzjim]

If the alternative is Kasper Hjulmand, John Terry, Frank Lampard or a number of the other uninspiring suggestions then Yes.

If the alternative is a genuinely ambitious appointment then of course not.

This.

[Villa Lew]

I've gone for no, on the basis it's too much of a gamble, however if he is appointed, he'll have my full backing, the bottom line is none of us know, if he will turn out to be a successful Premier league manager.

[Brazilian Villain]

I don’t have any particular view on what his actual management might be like, as it’s difficult to know how Scottish & English premier leagues match up, but I do just think he is possibly the most boring man on the planet.

You haven't heard Keir Starmer?

[Brazilian Villain]

Depends who the alternative is!

If it’s Martinez, then Yes.

Or Stephen Kenny.

[Monty]

No, no, no, non, niet, nein.

Assuming that one no is in English, another in Spanish and the other in Italian? In any case these are my feelings too. Would love to be proved wrong if necessary.

[ozzjim]

I think a better question might be do we think he will do well. My answer to that would be yes, he's a knob, and boring, but in my opinion the club will back him hard and he will do pretty well.

[Chico Hamilton III]

 Not for me, thanks. I was going to use the “he’s too young to take on such a big job” excuse/reason.Then I realised that Ron Saunders was the same age - 41- when he took over. Which has made me feel very old.

Still a “no” from me though.

[cdbearsfan]

The club should back whoever they appoint. He might do well, he might not. He's more of a gamble and therefore has a lower percentage chance of doing well than a better qualified manager.

[Sleeuwenhoek]

A manager who's learnt his trade by pitching his wits against the likes of Ross County and Livingstone, won 1 trophy out of 9 available, what's not to like? 

[villa `cross the mersey]

I have met him several times - he previously lived about 200m from my home in Formby ( a home now inhabited by Herr Klopp)
I cant claim to know him but we have had a few short conversations (mainly in the local - The Freshfield) generally about Everton (his boyhood club)
He is not the easiest person to converse with but at least he had the courtesy to speak with the likes of me, my son and wife.
Always willing to have "selfies" taken and sign autographs.
He has been castigated by many for off  field incidents that are well documented however I am also aware he has faced some unpleasant personal attacks and threats, particularly when he was linked with signing for Chelsea, but that says more about life on Merseyside than the man himself.
Do I want him as Villa Manager ? No, I just don`t see him fitting in at our club..... not sure who would be the best candidate to replace Dean Smith though 

[Sexual Ealing]

No, no, no, non, niet, nein.

Assuming that one no is in English, another in Spanish and the other in Italian? In any case these are my feelings too. Would love to be proved wrong if necessary.

Correcto!

[LeonW]

No

[Nev]

Nah.

[dave shelley]

If he walks through the door, he can turn around and walk straight back out again taking Purslow with him!  I actually like Purslow but if this happens that will cease instantly.
