Baza, I've said I'd be more than happy with Gerrard. I work a lot of Villa games and they do actually play decent football. They just haven't got the players to finish the job off. Talking to some of the fans on matchdays, they believe that Wolves have the better players and would be able to cope with Gerrards style of play.

I'd be happy with Gerrard he likes to play an attacking style of football, Villa just didn't have to players to do that that's why it went wrong for him there.
We on the otherhand do have the polayers for that style of football although they need a good hard kick up the backside.

Sorry getns but you say Villa don't have the players well they have spent FAR more during Gerrard tenure than us (especially on wages) and they only seem to have got worse for it! They've spent big wages on Digne, Coutinho and Kamara all of which have been bang average and all go which Gerrard was very vocal about signing cause they would help him play his system! Add to that the fact that no matter how much he spends there defensive record has somehow got worse?! If we sign Gerrard we will get relegated, it's that simple I'm afraid.
Bux what difference does it make who ya tied with if they have absolutely no intention of signing (Poch has already said as much). So according to you we'd have done better by telling the world we were going to get Pep or Klopp then, doesn't matter if they intend to go to the interview or not as long as the media thinks we are 'tied' with them?! Hilarious ?

Gerrard was found out when Beale went to QPR.
Gerrard was the focal point, but the key man was Beale. QPR have an excellent manager.

Just for some context here, I have nothing agaisnt Gerrard (great player) but as always the stats don't lie. His win percentage at Villa was 33.5, Dean Smith on the other hand left with a 50% win rate.

Again for context here, when we sacked Lage his win rate was 37.25%. I told myself with Lage for months that it was just about 'the system' but I think like Stevie the truth is far simpler, they just aren't Prem quality managers yet. They both have time on their side, with a good/successful next appointment they could both still learn.

At the moment though (for me) Gerrard would see us go down. I actually respect the club for taking their time but it's a calculated risk (one only possible cause of the very unique WC situation this year). Looks like Villa might stump up for Amorim, should be interesting especially if the figures quoted for his release fee are to be believed (£10+m).

He looks good but as Jas rightly pointed out at the moment his trajectory ain't that different to Lages. If anything Lage was more experienced having already worked in this country previously (as Assistant). Like I say though it still is a calculated risk because if we are waiting on Lopetgui then we know he's a flight risk (has been in most jobs he's had).

Time will tell but I do think the club can't afford to make a panicked/rushed decision. Taking their time won't be a problem but it does mean they HAVE to get this one right ?
