I think Gerrard has been helped by being up against the only club in the world who would consider replacing Brendan Rodgers with Neil Lennon as manager. If I was a Liverpool fan I would want more from the next manager after Klopp than to have won trophies with a club that only had one rival and had a wage bill higher than the rest of the league, who aren't Celtic, combined.

And?

From the same article...


It's simple, it's the same club, you're wrong.
"As a new corporate identity known as Rangers Football Club Ltd, formerly Sevco Scotland Ltd, the Scottish side gained admittance to the fourth tier of Scottish football".
The club died and were liquidised- FIFA have just bestowed the trophies of the old club to the new.

Absolute cretin! Would love to see him fail spectacularly at Liverpool after taking over from Klopp, so I guess he’ll need some sort of success first at Rangers for that to happen, don’t want to see him win anything though but it’s a small price to pay in order to get him in at Anfield and start destroying everything Klopp’s built up. :drool:

Get him in as manager with Carragher in as the assistant. The dream team.

They were liquidated and a new club was formed. People just pretend its the same Rangers.
He’s making a joke about the fact the old Rangers were liquidated and this is a new company.
It's a good joke that went over my head.

Seriously though, what happens to the old trophies that the old Rangers won?

The whole “your club died” thing got old a long time ago. Celtic need to get their finger out otherwise this man will be getting a statue at Ibrox. They love him.

It's a bit silly, it's not like MK dons. They're the same club, and recognised so by the fans and the location.

yeah it’s a bit cringey going on about it. They made a cock up of their finances, paid the price, won their way back into the SPL and are now right where they left off, with a prick of a manager and a prick of a striker but challenging for the league.

Was a bit more that just a cock up it was financial cheating as well.

How much did they get out of paying? Imagine it's more than a lot of clubs north of the border are worth.

you need to get over it, big time. They cheated, they were punished.
By any standards they should have been stripped of the trophies won during the period of their cheating.
Then the SFA give the new club a leg up back into the league.

You got it backwards. Its like pretending AFC Wimbledon were Wimbledon all along by forming a new club and pretending they have all the accolades

they weren’t though, after a judge ruled they gained no competitive advantage. Rightly or wrongly, those of a higher power have decreed that rangers keep all their trophies. it’s just a non point, and whilst it’s still an easy go to to try and trump someone in an argument, it won’t matter at all if rangers stop 10 in a row.

So what do people make of Gerrard the manager and more importantly I guess, what do Rangers fans make of Gerrard?

Currently sitting top of the table (early days I know) but beat Celtic 2-0 last weekend and just had a good result away to standard Liege today in the EL. I think they might just pip Celtic to the title this season!

Give him the Liverpool job I say, Klopp should step aside for a legend like Gerrard.

hes seemingly bringing Scottish football some vital points so they gain an automatic CL spot. He needs a trophy this season. I think Celtic will be too strong over the course of the season

Say Klopp leaves after 21/22 and we can’t get a young prodigy like Nagelsmann or Rose - I don’t have a lot of managers that I’d rather have than Gerrard, or at least that I can currently think of. Whoever it’ll be it’ll be a massive step down from Klopp.

This comes with the caveat that I haven’t watched Rangers play under his reign even once, but at least he seems to have really improved them?

He has but with the money handed to him it's not really a huge achievement. His results in Europe have been pretty decent so he definitely has improved Scottish football in Europe .
He has to win a trophy this season and it probably has to be the title to stop 10 in a row

I’ve heard Pep Ljinders might get the job after Klopp goes. He’s highly thought of at the club and well liked by the squad as well.

He will win the Scottish league if Celtic isn’t going to sack Lennon as soon as possible.

I doubt they would be stupid enough just because hes a club legend. He'd be closer to Dalglish Mk2 than Zidane, Guardiola or even Dalglish Mk1. He comes across as pretty thick most of the time and incapable of rational thought when it comes to Liverpool. Not the ingredients for success.

Yep, and let's get Dunne at Man City to turn the top 5 into a proper slug fest.

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.
