The timing could be better but I wish Stevie G well with what he goes onto do. He's impressed me greatly during his time in Glasgow and the timing won't affect that. He was always going to leave sometime sooner than later. I just hope we display the same vision we showed when appointing Gerrard. 

This.

 

I'll love him for the rest of my life for what he's done: The title was superb and those European nights will live long in the memory. 

 

I wish him well.

He stopped 10IAR. For that alone I’ll always be grateful to SG.

I'm fairly neutral on Gerrard.  I don't agree with people hoping he fails at Villa but at the same time, have no real interest in his future career.

 

All that matters is Rangers.

Just a thought I wonder if he would come calling for Davis in January after all he started his career at Villa,

Talk of Russell Martin (Swansea) now as a replacement.

No chance, he’s been at Swansea for a few months.

According to Sky Sports News: Steven Gerrard expected to join Aston Villa on two-and-a-half-year deal.

I'm a bit "meh" about the whole thing now, I just want it confirmed he's gone and for us to appoint someone quickly so we can get back on with the season. When I look back on his time here I think he will be a massive part of the final leg of our journey back to the top, where we belong. But it will leave a bit of a bitter taste given how quickly he's gone after everything he said after winning the title.

 

I know there's nothing in it, but the timing of him leaving is a bit strange given the stuttering start we've had to the season both in Europe and domestically, with a few players looking well out of sorts and an apparent inability to sort out the defensive issues and basic mistakes makes me wonder if his heart was in it anymore or if he was just out of ideas.

Maybe now we will win a cup or two, onwards and upwards I wish Gerrard well but no man is bigger than the club

Looks like the Gerrard era at RFC has come to an end. It's been a roller coaster three years and there's no doubt he leaves us in a better place. For that he and his backroom staff have my thanks. We must now move on immediately and I'm hoping a new manager will be in place asap.

 

Of course the timing is far from ideal - both with regard to Walter's passing and our upcoming schedule on the pitch. Like most fans, that disappoints me but it's also football and it's vital we move forward immediately and see this as an opportunity to improve.

 

To be honest, I think this has been coming for a while and may explain some of the negativity we've seen this season on the pitch. As such, the board/Ross Wilson should be well prepared for where we are and ready to put our next plan into action. A new era awaits!

Villa though, I can't think of a more mediocre EPL club.
