Can’t even see Gerrard wanting to manage against Liverpool tbh. Reckon he’ll talk to them and then decide to stay. 

If the club allow this and he does talk to them then its the beginning of the end for him at Ibrox IMO.

Is doing very well finishing 8th or 9th in EPL?

Pretty much, though the amount Villa spend they should be looking at that position as a minimum.

I don’t get that..

Liverpool could have any manager in world, is getting Aston Villa to just above mid table enough to justify giving that job to Gerrard when Klopp goes?

He’s not just any manager though. His ties to Liverpool must make appointing him a favourable option for their board because of the massive commercial / ‘fan engagement’ opportunity it presents. There’s probably a minimum level of credibility/experience he has to achieve before their board will want to give him the job.

If he does go the only real option that doesn’t fuck us is to offer Beale the job if we are being honest.

Potentially Derek McInness but I would  only offer him the job on a short term basis (I.e. till the Summer) when we can replace him with someone decent. He wouldn’t take that offer though.

Under no circumstances I can we let Murty see out the season we would be aswell handing the title to the tarriers if it happens.

Beale is our best bet of maintaining stability unless there is a quality manager lined up ready to go (which unfortunately there clearly isn’t)

Yeah they've loads of potential as a club. I think Carragher's right when he said a better opportunity probably won't come along.

Just can't see how he turns them down, as much as I'd want him to come out and say he wants to stay here to win the league again and have a go at the CL next year.

Unless Rodgers leaves Leicester it’s as good a job as he could hope to get in England outwith getting a job at one of the top six.

Jim, I canny have that coming from you.  

I only get nervous when we are actually playing. 

[kanjo 26,328]

If he wants to go and fight for mid table then so be it. He'll be doing well to do that let alone stay in a job longer than 12-18 months.  
 

Think what would annoy me IF he goes is it's mid season.

Fuck Liverpool too btw

Naw we need a proper manager now, no till the end of season options they never work. We are 4 points clear, the title is there to win.

@The Specky Liar  when you changing your tagline to 'Following With Murty'?

That's a banning offence.

Even if he doesn't he will be, ole got Cardiff relegated and he's at man u, Gerrards a lot bigger of an idol than ole there imo. 

Man Utd should have never hired Ole. He got the job with one performance in Paris. If Gerrard falls on his arse at Villa the opportunity to replace Klopp falls on its arse too. Not saying he might redeem himself again at another job and then go for the Liverpool job.

Villa side seem certain its £2m. Not like Edgar to pied piper for the board.

When I read the quote , I thought it was more likely that Edgar was saying the £9m release clause in Brenda’s contract was not true

[JCDBigBear 10,824]

If Gerrard doesn't go to Villa there will be a few embarrassed posters on here.

[Broxi 11,484]

Yeah I can't understand anyone saying McInnes 

[bluenoz 30,835]

It must be remembered that Gerrard has spent 3 years away from his family. That is a huge sacrifice. Birminham to Liverpool is a two hour drive. Family will be a major consideration in all of this.

I'd be close to chucking fitbaw altogether if we went backwards that badly

Liverpool pretty much giving us Gerrard and his staff was the reason we won 55.

I'd agree with that.

Also, I'm not sure how true his obsession with wanting to be Liverpool manager is but if he's as focused on that as everyone says he is, I'm not sure how going to a top 6 club and being direct rivals with Liverpool helps that.

So someone like Villa is probably the perfect job for him. 

[Jardelsgoldenboot 6]

Nuno Esporito Santo

Ralph Hassenhutl

Giovanni Van Bronkhorst

Rino Gattuso

That would be my shortlist

I can fully understand people expecting the worst after the last decade.

Rather be left embarrassed than lose the manager tbh. Think it will be the ones who are adamant this isn’t happening, when all the signs point towards it happening, who will be left embarrassed though.
