I can't help but think if Gerrard is prepared to leave Rangers when they better than Celtic in the Scottish duopoly and still in contention to progress in Europe he would walk away from us in similar fashion.

I believe he was given some assurances by the Rangers board about budget which never happened. There’s more to this than meets the eye perhaps.

I think this first bit is why he wants to leave - he's currently "winning" in the two party system - move on before he's not!

If the Villa board are stupid enough to appoint him I wonder how fans will feel knowing that he will commute from Liverpool to BH/Villa Park rather than live in the city?

How do we know that will be happening?

I couldn't give a rats ass where he lives.

Interesting question... What does he have to do to be considered as doing a good job. First season, stay up? Match 11th of last season? Top half? Next season top 10? 8??

I'm interested to see what the perception of success is for him before he starts.

Good question. I still don't want him, but if he's appointed - 9th or above, for me, would be a success. I was expecting that of Dean, so don't think it's unreasonable with 27 games left.

After the start we’ve had, I’d be happy for a top half finish, some exciting games and to revert to us trying to play football along the way.

No no NO. If they do appoint him than they are the wrong sort of owners. More interested  in presentation  than substance.

His family stayed in Liverpool. It's logical that if they can't move to Glasgow there's little chance they'll move to Brum.

And while I'm here, is the Malmo manager available, surely he has a better record than Slippy G. Jon Dahl Tomasson, PL experience as a player and Assistant Coach for Denmark. We had no problem approaching their Head Coach.

Like Ozzjim, I don't care where our manager lives, as long as we are 100% the focus of his attention.

In fairness, we were getting a bit het up about Thierry Henry last time around and that came to nothing.

Showed Purslow could be swung by a name though...Thierry Henry...ffs, that would have been some car crash. There is no logic in replacing Smith with Gerrard, complete bonkers

Jon Dahl Tomasson was more successful than Slippy as a player too!

Me neither providing he stays in Glasgow.
