Yes Dave its always a gamble but i like the odds with Gerrard. What's the alternative? Go for the merry-go-round of dinosaurs or give a bloke with a winning mentality a go and respected as one of the best midfielders ever.
I also wanted Deano to have more time but hes gone and that wasnt our choice.
Pep gets loads of cash and so did Sir Alex. Signing Gerrard doesnt guaranty us success but it definitely rases Villas profile. Were the talk of the town right now. To be honest i feel alot of envy from other clubs and supporters. Not massively as Villa are not a club hated in general like Manu etc.
Lets see what santa brings in January. And to anyone who wants to moan look where we were a few seasons back. A corrupt charman, nearly went into administration and playing in the championship with every midlands club gloating. 5 losses in a row is not something i will loose sleep over.

Im looking forward to an exciting new eara at VP. Shame Gerrard cant have Deano as his assistant.
