He's been in charge of Rangers for 3 complete seasons and won the league once, and nothing else I thought Rangers were relegated to bottom league and he won promotion every season finalizing with winning the league.

Who they had an invincible season over last year and will likely win the league over this season again.

Popular Post Jas10 Posted November 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2021 Why does/would anyone think Gerrard would be a better manager or be more successful than Dean was? I don’t see it, I don’t see any evidence. I’m sure Dean would’ve done at least as good a job as he did in the bloody SPL. A league where the likes of an ageing or should-be-retired Jermaine Defoe can get a game. Where players like Kemar Roofe & Scott Arfield can win a league title… Is it just the allure of the name? Because that would be nonsensical. I don’t see any ambition or foresight with this one… 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sne Posted November 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2021 Gerrard would be on the same level of disappointment as when we hired McLeish and Bruce, or when we signed Heskey. Would just feel like years wasted until we got someone else to replace him. Would have me lose all faith in our football people. Never know, he might succeed, but feels like once again we have people running the show who just want's to bring in their mates. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 3 minutes ago, HKP90 said: Sorry I just don't agree with this at all. Lack of experience in a decent league, Scottish, Danish, wherever is absolutely a perfectly justifiable, rational and unemotional reason to have doubts about Gerrard. Most of the european names mentioned and discussed on here have got good records at good european leagues. I think Useless, has a very valid point...its the Liverpool thing that clouds some folks judgement....Its hate that consumes folk. In contrast Jack has gone to City and his passion for Villa has just been, dismissed bu city fans.....they are just focused on having him play for them. Steven Gerrard Carried Liverpool at times and was larger than life, he was born there, just like our Jack.....why should we be so insular, to not give a chance to a manager, who has took his winning mentality as a player in to management....John Terry, was never shy telling us of his love for Chelsea, but he soon gained a soft spot for us too.....Aston Villa is an easy club to gain affection for, its happened to so many, who have passed through the annals of this great old club. Anyone who is so blind to just look at the Scottish League quality, and not see the monumental job of restoring Rangers pride and status, after their dramatic fall, astounds me. We may not get Steven Gerrard, I don't think we will, because he has aligned himself for more silverware......but given the opportunity, we would be mad not to take it. serial Winner, thats who he is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post blandy Posted November 9, 2021 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2021 52 minutes ago, TRO said: That just about sums up my inner feelings.....some of our fan base are just not winners....just passive supporters, its more about the day out...not knocking the day out, just getting priority's in order. This is...I don't know how to put it really. Whether the fans are "winners" is utterly irrelevant to outcome. People who go to games (or not) with an attitude of "this is a day out, I want to enjoy myself", or if they go to games with an attitude of "we must win" makes no difference to anything. Different outlook, maybe. The healthier one is probably the one who wants to take enjoyment from it, more than just the result on the day. I don't even know why you've posted what you did, to be honest. @TRO Anyway, on the manager thing, it is what it is. I don't like it. But having made all these claims about ambition and challenging for Europe and stuff, they need to walk the walk, as they demanded of Deano. You can't go sacking a manager for not progressing in the way you want him to and then make a choice of next manager that also doesn't achieve those stated aims. If it's just a gamble and throw of the dice, then that's incoherent. Whoever they get in will have the same problems Deano had - a squad which is weak in some areas - for a European place challenge the midfield and full back positions are under resourced. "Bring kids through" means the manager (past or future) needs to give room for the youngsters to develop, but "qualify for Europe" means having back ups that are consistent standard for the full back and centre mid positions. Deano couldn't solve those problems and I'm not sure that whoever's next will either. They might get better effort, organisation, tactics etc. or they might not. But you'd hope (I would, anyway) that the next manager needs to have experience at the top of top league(s) in order to meet this desire for European places while developing players. If he doesn't, then why sack Deano? 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it looks like they're going to take a hit expect to see new favorites emerge with plenty of stories across their media platforms to drive betting that way instead till they've got the books nice and balanced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
