Gerrard will crumble.Will be interesting to see his progress, and also Gerrards, if this becomes reality.
Likewise I would watch with interest and best wishes. Would be interesting to see how he got on by himself, he just always struck me as having "something" about him, whether that something makes him a manager or not is a different matterHas been heavily linked with the Charlton job. Gerrard making noises about it that he hopes he stays with him as part of “the journey”, but he wouldn’t stand in anyone’s way. Reckon he is ready to cut the strings and give it a go on his own. Will watch with interest.
AgreedGreat move for him
Its gonna happen sometime for Beale you'd think. Also as much as Gerrard would miss him you'd have to think with 4 years experience he's better equipped to cope without him. Dunno if he could bring in someone else for that type of role, someone I know at Villa said Gerrard's team collectively was one of the biggest at any PL club
I reckon it is a bit now or never for him. He needs to become the top man or won’t ever know if it does suit him. Always came across as someone with the ambition.Its gonna happen sometime for Beale you'd think.

Will be very interesting to see how Gerrard fares without him.
Fwiw I think his influence was overplayed by our fans. Interesting to see though.
I think so too - will soon see the true ability of Steve Gerrard.Gerrard will crumble.
I spoke to his Mrs when she was selling the house to move down with him and she said the same thing that they hoped to be back at us someday.I have it from the horses mouth (Beale himself) that it’s in his plans to return to us one day. I will watch with interest as his career progresses but he loves it here and wants to come back at some point.
Serious question, is it Gio, or Voss, or Makaay, or a combination of the three? We all knew and understood the dynamic of Gerrards management team down to Culshaw on set pieces etc. but I don’t think the fanbase knows much about how Gio’s operates.I loved Beale and thank him hugely for the job he did but, in game at least, Gio is a different level tactically.
Well it needs to happen soon you dont get a lot of time in that leagueIt's not gonna happen for Gerrard at Villa really is it?
Maybe he is already?Only has good things to say about Rangers.
But like many others will live to regret leaving.
I agree that gio is more tactically astute but also think the boy from Ajax Dave Vos has an influence in the same way Beale did with Gerrard.I loved Beale and thank him hugely for the job he did but, in game at least, Gio is a different level tactically.
Think he may be backI think so too - will soon see the true ability of Steve Gerrard.
(actually expected that if SG left us, then Beale would have taken over).
Could see him taking it.
The "journey" was ultimately going to Liverpool and taking over from Klopp and he's now signed a new deal, which puts that to bed.

Don’t know if I agree with that entirely but tbf most teams have certain principles they’ll always stick by. Liverpool, City, Chelsea etc. And obviously they’re better than us but the gap between us and most Scottish teams is bigger than the gap between Liverpool & a Crystal Palace, for exampleIve always thought that. Tactically Gio has shown more flexibility than we ever did. We were more of a "do plan A better team" with Beales input.
When you think of the things he’s seen with Holland, Arsenal us and Barca - Wenger, Rijkaard, Van Gaal, Advocaat it’s no wonder he’s good tactically!I think tactically this time it's Gio with input from the others. The Dutch tend to be like that.
For what it's worth, I don't think we've ever had a guy who sees the game quite like Gio sees it in game and I include his old Rangers gaffer in that.
You don't think AV could do what West Ham did this year? I disagree.Never in their dreams could they even finish 6th or 7th to get a measly UEFA Conference position. They just exist and that’s about it.
What did Gerrard do wrong to you?Why? Got all the time in the world for Beale. Zero for Gerrard.

I dislike him as a person. Nothing to do with him leaving Rangers. Beale left rangers and I'd take him back here in a heartbeat.What did Gerrard do wrong to you?
There's nothing to move on from, I don't like Gerrard as a person nothing to do with him leaving us.
You do, I don't. Get over it pal.
