In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Gerrard up front, with McAlister and the under 18s in behind
They are trying to replace an Under 20 team manager who has little experience with an Under 18 team manager with even less experience. He might last longer than the last Celtic supporting Scouser they employed, who knows.
Pure hubris from him if he decides to go there. He has next to no experience of management.
Given an opportunity at a great club and he is going to turn it down? He will gain the experience. I hope he fails massively though.
Rangers are no longer a great club and without major, major financial overhaul they never will be again.
On what basis does he think he'll be successful? He barely has a year's worth of experience managing u18s. And Rangers as a club are fecked.
Seems crazy to me at this stage. I would've thought he'd do better learning from Klopp and his staff, then working his way up. Could be a bit of a poisoned chalice. He only turned down MK Dons a few months back.
I s'pose he's ambitious but still, it's not as if he hasn't got time to learn where he is now.

Any self-respecting manager wouldn't touch them with a barge pole just now, even lifelong fan and former player McIness turned them down recently.
It is experience that he can learn. Doesn’t matter whether or not he has enough experience. The only way to gain experience is to get out there and test yourself.
They need new investment but the no longer a great club stuff is pish. 50,000 in the 4th tier is something you'd never see in England.
6 year old club. He might as well manage F.C. United.
It is still the same club really. May have had to reform but it is still the same none the less. Regardless of what documentation states.
Certainly the same fans. I occasionally dip into followfollow to see what they’re up to.
I’m sure if any of the teams who have 50,000 seater stadiums went through a similar plight as rangers did, the fans would get behind the team for a season at least, just like rangers fans did.
Go on their forums and tell me they are still a great club. What happened to them was deserved, and although detriment to the Scottish game, it fecking ruined them and without a miracle financially, they’ll fade into the history books once and for all.
So the offer from Rangers went something like..
Well Steven, you are a proven winner with a winners mentality. This is exactly what we need at Rangers to help us finish second!

1. Think we're the only ones in England that could. Arsenal fans are too entitled and Liverpool fans would boycott and cry conspiracy.
2. All football forums are polluted with lunatics that want a gaffer sacked after every game where points have been dropped, they are irrelevant to what makes a club.
Does Gerard have any coaching credentials? Did he pass his certifications?
I assume so as he is the current under 18's manager of Liverpool.
@The holy trinity 68 why are you so desperate to defend a cnut like Gerrard?
Govan isn't a tax haven anymore.
He is being urged by the likes of Shearer and Souness to take this "opportunity" as he will be able to attract top players to the club - with what exactly ? They have no money and will need to get rid of all the duds the last clown brought in. Agree withBrendan Rodgers though, the way they are treating Murty is shameful, he stepped in to a complete clusterfcuk and has done pretty well under the circumstances.
Was Barnes in on the fake film company tax swindle too?Govan isn't a tax haven anymore.
Just because I hate him doesn’t mean I can’t give an opinion on whether it is a good job for him to take. Just trying to have a grown up discussion instead of derailing the thread by saying how much I don’t like him.

You’d have to pay me millions to move to an absolute shitehole like Glasgow.
Saying that, doesn’t Gerrard live in Toxteth?

Trying to maintain a mature discussion involving Stevie G on forum frequented largely by Man Utd fans, is like sticking your head inside the jaws of a shark and politely asking him not to bite down. A fruitless endeavour.
Not really because all I was stating was that it would be stupid to turn an opportunity like this down just because “he may not have the experience necessary”.
By that logic so many managers should not accept so many job offers. Moyes comes to mind. Of course people will take opportunities given to them if they fancy them, not least if they've got belief in themselves. I don't think a "I'm not good enough" mentality serves anyone well.
Not that I expect him to become a managerial revelation, mind.
I hope he gets them relegated (and he most likely will)
You have a point, but Moyes earnt his stripes at lower division Preston North End. Although I suppose the SPL is not far above that level these days.
Yeah, sometimes you can get an opportunity for a shortcut and it pays off. I'm more surprised by Rangers approaching him, but who knows, maybe they'll get 3 good loans from Liverpool as a dowry.
Of course I hope he fails miserably, I just found the comments about declining the job because of no experience a bit odd.
The championship is a higher level than the SPL
Would be a stupid move by Gerrard.
Rangers can’t compete with Celtic, they need to spend money they don’t have to get anywhere near them.
Destined to fail if he takes that on.

Rangers players better brush up on their Phil Collins.
But what if he does okay?
Then Rangers will become Scotland’s second best team.
Why don't you fecking marry him then
In the land of confusion up here, I can't see us winning the title against all odds.
