Steven Gerrard - yes or no

[ChicagoLion]

No it’s a stupid, lazy idea.
He should be no where near the job based on his managerial experience and achievements.
Also I can’t stand the bloke and the memories of his shit- houseness atVilla Park still rankle.

[TonyD]

It could be all bollocks. 

[SamTheMouse]

I'd like a third poll option: "Fuck, no."

[brian green]

A double underlined No from me.  He is what is called in horse racing circles a "talking horse".  Talked about a lot with no actual proof of managerial ability at the level required.

I'm going to start calling him Mister Ed.

No, no, no, no, no, no, erm yes (if we have to), but no not really exciting me, or peaking my interests. To be fair to Gerrard even though the last twelfth months of football haven't been the best, I loved Smith and always hoped it would turn around at some point soon. So it's a tough one to fill the void, whoever it is.

[Gary Penrice]

No

[Ads]

No. But I don't think it will be home anyway. Just noise.

[Bobby Boy]

No. Nice and easy.

Not many Birmingham mail readers on here then

We had threads like this when it looked like we'd appoint McLaren.  The club did a U turn and rocked up with McCleish.

Given some of the candidates it's suggested we're interested in, Stevie G looks like the best of a bad bunch.

It's remarkable.  When you're discussing whether Villa should make a change, you kind of assume with our hugely rich owners would we'd go out and get someone outstanding.  Someone that would make people sit up and say bloody hell!  Not make do with a big name player still cutting his teeth.

Next time people say stuff like 'we're a huge draw', 'people would walk over broken glass to manage us' etc just remember what a shitlist we managed to come up wit this time.

Used to get it occasionally. Never would now. It exists purely as a trollpaper, a regionalised TalkSport. They don't even get my clicks let alone my 30p (or however much it costs).

[frank black]

I’ve gone with No purely based on my gut instinct that he will be shite.

In that case can we have Deano back please?

I'm largely avoiding the speculation now because it'll do my head in. I sure won't be taking nonsence from places like Birmingham Live as gospel. I just think NSWE won't want to waste their investment in the club by taking someone untried at a good level. I'm being patient and whatever happens happens.

[PeterWithe]

No and I dont think he is the No1 choice. I'm trusting the club to have lined someone up that when announced, we all think 'ah, thats why they ditched DS, because he's a significant step up'. Gerrard doesn't fit the bill, at least not yet.
