Would prefer he took another job or two after Rangers
. I’m going to trust the board won’t appoint on sentiment.
Gerrard is almost certainly going to succeed Klopp at Liverpool.
It'll be too popular an appointment for FSG to turn down. As FSG has shown by teaming up with the Glazers for so-called Project Big Picture, they care about this kind of stuff. Gerrard returning to Liverpool as manager? Can you imagine the social media interactions and engagements. The lads in Boston will be pushing that in front of every investor in the world. Just imagine your logo was on the first sponsored post showing Gerrard as Liverpool manager etc.etc.
I also think Gerrard would do a decent job. Despite their god being mammon, FSG actually run Liverpool well. You have a good set up on the footballing side and Edwards is seen as a canny operator who brings in the right profile of player. Lets not forget Klopp was originally opposed to the Salah signing. Bringing Gerrard into a fully functioning set up would be very different than bringing him into a dysfunctional operation, which is what you see at
certain other clubs. Gerrard, at the current Liverpool, would not be swimming against the tide. He would simply have to avoid a monumental f-k up to do well.
