NoelVilla Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Would be terrible if it was Gerrard. His experience is with the Rangers and why would we want a manager that don't want to win at Anfield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Rodgers had much less resources at Swansea than Gerrard would have with us, so Swansea finishing midtable was a much bigger achievement than us finishing around eighth would be. Also Swansea had a reputation for playing Barcelona type football which was very much in vogue at the time, so I think that also helped Rodgers get the Liverpool job.

I think this is an excellent point, and similarly to players, if we can bring someone in, have them improve us, drag us up the table, and they go off to a different oppurtunity, it puts us in a better position to attract a better candidate next time around. We're not recruiting for a bride, here, it's not a lifelong commitment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Gerrard plays 433 like Liverpool do wirh inverted wingers and rampaging full backs. Got a really good coach there at Rangers who has coached all over the place apparently who runs training with Gerrard as the figurehead. Gerrard Will call his players out in public apparently and doesnt stand for any shit whatsoever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the club really wanted one we would have signed one instead they focused on attacking players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted November 7, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 7, 2021 2 minutes ago, av1 said: Agreed. Every appointment is a gamble of course, but I just don’t see this one as one worth taking. Press = spunkfest sold as an audition for Liverpool. Worst case = He fails, winning a 2 horse race isn’t enough of a CV for me Best case = He does well then leaves for Liverpool in 2yrs. I don't really have an issue with the idea that a successful manager, whoever they are, might become a target for others to pinch. My issue with Gerrard is... Well, the SPL is a 2 horse race and Celtic's wheels have fallen off. That CV doesn't fill me with confidence and this appointment has to be one that gives us the best chance of improvement and getting to that next level. That's not Gerrard. He might do it, he might be the greatest manager ever in it making, but you'd be taking a punt, a big punt. Any appointment is a gamble but he would be an enormous one. One we shouldn't make. The other stuff, the Liverpool fawning stuff, would also count against him. but would be secondary to the gamble he represents. Even if Gerrard rocks up somewhere else and is a rollicking success, we still shouldn't have appointed him in the current position we find ourselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheltenham_villa Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Gerrard is the only one I've seen that's an interesting gamble. The pressure at rangers to achieve is bigger than most other clubs. Can't see why Rodgers would come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they might have struggled because Managers straight up knew they were stop gaps. Some probably don't want to be associated with the regime, and some probably don't want to risk a relegation on their CV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
