Does Villa's poor start to the season reaffirm the rumours that Beale was actually the mastermind behind Gerrard's managerial success? |  |

Maybe, perhaps the dynamic with Critchley isn't right either, who knows... |  |

If we are still thinking of loans from Villa might be worth getting them done at the start of this week rather than the end! |  | | |

It’s a typical scenario where a fantastic footballer proves himself to be a shît manager. Look at the two best young English managers in the Prem at the moment, Potter and Howe. Not much to shout about career wise as footballers. Ferguson and Wenger the same. Klopp. Gerrard just doesn’t cut it for me. | |

I'd be loathe to taking Gerrard on loan given his age and lack of gametime over the last 5 years or so. |  |

I wonder if the same is true about Wayne Rooney and Liam Rosenior. Derby seem to be doing ok without Wayne, despite losing even more of their better players at the end of the season. |  | | |

I think they've got Arsenal and Man City next... |  | | |

The top players have a lackey to do everything for them and aren't used to living in the real world. |  | | |

Interestingly, the Indo suggests the same.
Even before this season began, the Aston Villa players had noticed something different about preparation. The management staff have a private Instagram account that the squad all follow, and it used to be filled with tactical ideas and clips from training. That was at least until this summer, and the departure of Michael Beale.
Since then, the posts have been a lot less frequent. A connected criticism has been that Villa’s tactical set-up is a lot less sophisticated. It may be unfair, perhaps even premature, but it does speak to the idea that it was Beale who did the team shape and Steven Gerrard who did everything around it.
I'll be happy when Fat Frank falls to pull Everton out of their tailspin. Always disliked that club. |  | | |

Ferguson did play four times for Scotland, but I understand where you're coming from.
Johan Cruyff is the exceprion to the rule. Probably a few others as well! | | | |

Guardiola was also a superb footballer in his day |  | | |

I think we’d all agree Venables did ok as both player and manager.
And we can claim to have had the only player manger to score a hat trick in the top flight of English football… not many of us there but I did see Trevor Francis score 3 at Villa Park. | | | |

World Cup winners as players and managers, Franz Beckenbauer and Didier Deschamps probably the most obvious. |  |

I think you can chuck in Ramsey, Busby & Shankly from the British Isles as well.
The more I think about it, the more there seem to be! | | | |
