Well if he does join we can all sing happy birthday to him again.

That would likely mean we're in a Champions League Final so I'd settle for that.

Some Bookmakers have SUSPENDED betting on Steven Gerrard to be our new Head Coach

It's a disgrace!

No

But I’ll get behind him if it does happen.

I think you'll find they've SUSPENDED all managers as that is what a lot of them do overnight with next manager markets.

This is one of those conversations we have every time we change manager. It's up there with "the bookies clearly think it's likely, they've cut his odds".

All the press talk was of him celebrating his 30th (?) birthday by beating us and getting to the final.

Boateng is one of our U23s coaches now isn't he? Awkward.

Good reminder of why I detest Gerrard with a passion and will be devastated if he's brought in.

I said this to Woodhall just now, but I fear Gerrard represents a massive hole in the ground and Purslow is about to walk into it.

They've sacked Smith saying the progress had not continued as they hoped - the clear intimation here being that Smith was not the man to take us to the next level. If they now appoint someone in his place with even less experience as a manager, let alone evidence of being able to take teams forward, the entire line of reasoning looks extremely questionable.

Furthermore, with Gerrard, they will be replacing a life long Villa fan with someone with is one of the most identifiable 'club men' for another club in the world. It will look like "they're replacing a Villa legend with a Liverpool one" which isn't a good look. I don't really give too much of a shit that Smith is one of us and Gerrard is not, but that is the way it is going to get spun.

On top of that, it will be Purslow making the decision, and he is a former Liverpool CEO. Again, it starts to look like a Liverpool love-in.

To top it all off, there seems very little appetite for Gerrard from the fanbase, meaning he'd be starting on the wrong foot.

I just hope they're not stupid enough to do this, they'd be digging their own graves in terms of credibility.

Did he get sent off for that?

Yeah and we won 3-1.

I felt a better connection to the club when we had Little, Gregory and Smith as managers compared to all others since I started going down there in 1994.

Says he was sent off in that report, I think i was there, was it the game after he’d scored in Englands 5.1 win in Germany?

Yes, that's right, all the five goals were scored by Liverpool players so there was some talk that we beat England 3-1.

I was there, I don’t remember the tackle looking as bad in real time. In fact I don’t remember a lot at all.
