But my word, Aston Villa are rubbish. If ever a team reflected its manager it’s them. That perplexed Gerrard face and his furrowed brow is pretty much how his team plays.

Gerrard gone in the morning?

I guess the likes of Villa will go for a seasoned foreign manager, certainly won't be looking in Div 3 for their next manager...

Serial failure for England.
Made his name from a couple of lucky penalty shoot outs for Liverpool.
Managed to win a two-horse race in a ridiculously poor Scottish League.
Dissed Tyrone.
I bet a mate he’d be gone before Truss, looks like she’s pipped him by 24 hours and cost me a crispy tenner.

Strange though because I loved watching his Rangers side. Mings hasn't done him many favours in the last two games either - gifted Mount an opener and an OG tonight.

He seems to be out of his depth at Villa, but he did well at Rangers and he was a fantastic footballer.

Was reading the other day that general feeling at the time up there seemed to be things had gone a bit stale at the end and it was time for him to move on. Villa seem to have got the fast tracked experience of that.

Think there was always a bit of Mick Beale being seen as the brains of the operation anyway and now obviously he's doing quite well on his own.

It's another manager failing as soon as his trusted number two has gone. How many times have we seen this? We have experience here with Burley/Roberts, Lambert/Ullathorne and Cook/Richardson.

I'd even go back as far to say Clough was never the same after the split with Peter Taylor.

It's really important who managers surround themselves with.

He was a very good player for England and possibly the best English midfielder of the last 30 years. Did a very good job at Rangers. Mings has been poor for a long while.

Strange opinion of probably the best England player of his generation. Dragged some very ordinary Liverpool sides to winning some serious trophies. Albeit he never won a Premier League. Also showed a lot of loyalty, a one club man. When he had the world at his feet and could have been a money mercenary Which is commendable, imo..
Was very successful in turning Rangers round, in his first managerial role. Winning their first title in a while...
Can't blame him for having a crack at Premier League management. I get the impression his ultimate aim would be a return to Liverpool, one day, as manager..
Hasn't worked our for him at Villa. Shows the difference in levels between PL and SPL, imo.. He looks like he's got a bit to learn, yet, on the coaching side, at the very highest level..
Can't knock him as a player, in his day, though. Imo. He was "actually" World Class. Hence Mourinho in his prime, was forever courting Gerrard to join Chelski..

Although I can understand it, I was surprised he left Rangers for Villa. Realistically, given the riches in the Prem, how far was he ever going to take Villa? I appreciate they've got incredibly wealthy owners who chuck money at it, but when the 'top 6' is pretty much set, everyone else is scrapping it out for a Europa League Conference spot, hardly thrilling going to play some Slovenian second division side on a Thursday night.

I thought another 2-3 years at Rangers, competing for titles and cups and having a decent run in the Champions League/Europa would've set him up better for the Liverpool job.

According to the BBC he was 'undermined by results and performances'.
