You never know. Nixon could have been given a story about Critchley to put pressure on Foster to sign.Nixon innit, clueless click baiting wanker.
He might be having 2 assistants like he did at Villa with McCalistar and Critchley.
Or it's a load of bollocks from the off and many on here fell for it.
When Gerrard did his welcome interview it sounded like he said al Ettifuck scouse ** ,think he needs to try learning English before he takes a job on with an Arabic club could be interesting in his team talks ,i will give him till Xmas before the Arabs send him off on a Camel Caravan into the Desert hopefully , never to be seen or heard again(he was not happy when we dicked the scouse twats at Anfield) and looks like he has never forgot that day ,still trying to get revenge for one of his worse memories in his lifetime ..Al-Ettifaq have had something like 19 Manager/Head Coaches in the last 10 years. Gerrard will be lucky to survive one season especially with the money being ploughed into it. Ian Foster only played and coached in lower leagues/Ireland and will probably make more money in Saudi than he has done in his entire career so you can't blame him for going.
‘I got a real family feeling … the feeling that my family would get a bucketload of oil money and I’d be able to hire a coach to do all the work’
