Ex-Aston Villa striker Collymore: Both Gerrard and Purslow need to GO!

Former Aston Villa striker Stan Collymore says manager Steven Gerrard should GO after a poor start to the season.

After defeat to West Ham on Sunday, Collymore insists CEO Christian Purslow should also go with him if the former Liverpool captain is sacked.

"SG under pressure," tweeted the former Nottingham Forest and Liverpool striker. "Will be interesting to see if he gets same scrutiny as other managers amongst friends in media who've been suspiciously absent in analysis thus far.

"If he does fail then Purslow should go. Ignored a plethora of quality coaches for his own vanity pick."
