Steven Gerrard - Aston Villa Manager

[joe_fishfish]

If he keeps Villa up, and they kick on next season, but Gerrard's football is Houllier/ Benitez style at its stodgiest, does that make him more or less likely to become Liverpool manager one day?

[Harry Squatter]

The Echo are desperate for anyone to make Liverpool millions. They just spin the wheel and insert whatever comes up.

One if the papers already saying Gerrard wants to bring in Origi,Miamino,Ox and Phillips to Villa. Stevie building up his transfer chest for when Klopp goes. 

[joe_fishfish]

Villa have a fucking massive squad already from the looks of things. Some good players in there, but Smith hadn't been able to make it work without Grealish.

 

Of course if Stevie wants to transplant the beating heart of our League Cup side to Villa Park, I'm sure we can find a way to make that happen.

He can say that to be nice. The reality is; he doesn't.

 

Lampard managed Derby, Pep managed Barca B, Zidane Real Madrid B, Pirlo, a Juve youth team before managing Chelsea, Barca, Real Madrid and Juve. They didn't have to prove shit. Neither does Gerrard. Gerrard will be wasting his time at Villa. 

Half of those managers are shite, and 3 quarters of them are out of work.

[Boss]

Minamino would be a good signing for them. He's scored 3 goals for us this season with very limited game time.

As usual, you've managed to miss the point. For your information, the point was he could get a way bigger job right away because of his status as a player. No need to waste his time at a club like Villa, potentially crash and burn and not get a bigger job down the line because of that. Clear? Happy to help as always, mate.

So, let me get this right.

 

There is no point "wasting time" on his own managerial development?

 

That he may as well just walk into a big job now... you know... because he can?

 

And that crashing and burning at said big job - like the brilliant examples you gave with Lampard and Pirlo - would be better?

 

Alllllrighty then

It's an opinion of mine, mate. A little like that opinion of mine that we weren't great at the back or at managing games which you also made  fun of, and what do you know, there's maybe some truth to it.

 

I gave you the reasons as to why I think it's a bad move, it's pretty clear. One, if you fail at Villa, it's unlikely you fail upwards to a bigger team after. Two, players of his reputation have easily gotten massive jobs right off the bat. Pretty simple. Very easy to understand. Maybe it will work for him, maybe not. I don't like it for him. Get over it.

Oh, shut up, Moe. Don't act like you don't act like a prick and don't sarcastically reply to opinions you don't agree with on here as well. You do.

Not this one he couldn't.

As a Liverpool supporter the burning issue at some stage will be who takes over after Klopp. And if we’re gonna have any hopes of maintaining the levels we’ve seen over the last years we’ll need to get in one of the very best managers in the world. 
 

If Gerrard is on course to developing into that category I have no idea what so ever. But if he is he should be able to lift Villa a level or two. And if not we should definately stay well clear.

What's the style of footy he's played at Rangers?

I think this is part of the fallacy. United tried it. Hell, Everton have tried it.

Some guy with a CV is the last thing that will work here.

Managing Liverpool post Klopp will be about far more than tactics.

Most of it will be continuing to turn doubters into believers.

And continuing to get more out of a team than the sum of the individuals.

[Captain Turdseye]

I could do it. Loads of people on here used to think I was a tit. 
 

Look at me now.

Ugly.

One trophy in three years in Scotland. After Brendan left.

 

What does he have to do at Villa to justify replacing Klopp in '24?

Which massive job do you think he could have got right away?

How should I know?

 

My main thing is he's gone to a club where it's gonna be difficult to succeed and the shine will probably come off him. He should've stayed at Rangers until something bigger opens up, in England, abroad, whatever. In fact, he probably could have stayed there until Klopp leaves and we all know he'd probably get the job. 

[Bjornebye]

All he has to do at Villa is get them punching above their weight for a couple of seasons. Top 8 and he's doing well. Doubt he will achieve it this season but if he keeps them up (he will) and then finishes in the top 8 for two seasons then he's doing a good job.
