Just lounging about above mid table and not winning anything potentially for a person like Gerrard that would hurt. Good. He deserves it. Will never get the kind of reception or respect he got here again, won't get near the dippers job either.

I do not follow Engilish football much. Yeah they seem to be a club with aspirations to go places. Their owners are the fifth richest in the league, they’ve heavily backed their previous manager financially and they have the nucleus of a decent team too. I’m not happy that Gerrard has gone, but I can see why he thinks it was too good an opportunity to turn down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They cunts dump £20m on fucking prospects now days. If Gerrard wants to play a similar system to what he had here with its reliance on Tav, I think there is a real chance he comes in for him. Just hope it's not a chicken feed offer and the board hold firm for good money. Tav is still miles ahead of Patterson. At 30? Can’t see it. Matty Cash (their RB) is 24 and estimated to be worth £20 million. Tav won’t go and sit on a bench when the CL is within our grasp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggy 1,308 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I thought StevieG would see out the season - I was wrong. Good luck to him at Villa, but even Rodgers waited for a half decent side before he jumped ship. Anyway, thanks for the 55 and those European nights. It's a pity the cup runs were poor, but those were last in priority to the league and Europe (for the millions it generates in cash). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The move makes sense when you put it in the context of the Liverpool job. He's not going there to win things. He's already gained experience dealing with the expectations of having to win every game with us. He's at Villa to properly get to grips with the other aspects of the game at the elite level - tactics, spending big budgets etc - and to challenge himself against the best managers. If you like, I think Gerrard himself might see it that every job up to Liverpool is a part of his apprenticeship. He's gained experience dealing with expectations and pressure, now he's off to learn different things at Villa. He'll fancy himself to do well enough there to make a case for himself when Klopp leaves, and he'll be able to point to his time here and at Villa and the different things he's had to deal with to back him up. I hope he fails miserably (and think he's probably going to get the sack at Villa), but I think that's the logic. Couldn't give the like because of the last line but that's a good post and probably how I see it too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

plumbGER 24,518 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 The extra year on his contract, taking him by Klopps contract end, makes perfect sense to me. If he has a degree of success at Villa and Liverpool come calling when Klopps deal ends it means they have to fork out money to get their men. That way they claw back their initial outlay on the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1872 21,924 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 The fact that Villa can quadruple Gerrard’s wages per week shows the absolute gulf in money between England and us. Was reading earlier that if Villa finish last in the EPL they get £170 million yet we get £4 million for winning the SPFL. It’s actually frightening when you see it laid out like that.
