Yes. The players are on holiday and any work Gerrard would be doing can be done by Mark Allen. His contract started on Friday, but his “real” first day is when pre-season starts IMO.

gsa 3,906 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I know what some people are saying. First day new job you expect him to turn up at 8am with the brogues on, designs for orange kit in one hand, new coffee machine for the players in the other, MOH summoned in and sacked by 8:05, etc, etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerwelly 115 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 He said in an interview that it’s set days in a block and he has to attend when they are on and he’ll need to go back next year to finish the course. I think Gary McAllister has all of his badges and that as long as one of the management team has them they’ll be covered.

I don't see the issue with it provided he is working towards getting them.

Like when you get wee jumped up clerks of works cunts on sites trying to tell tradesmen of 20/30 years how to do a job. They have the paper certificates but no idea how to actually do the job.

gmcf 34,093 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 He's already there so no problems him having a look . Personally , I'd rather he concentrate on looking at players that are going straight into the first team to make an impact , and leave youths , or players for a long term view , to someone else like the scouting dept .

Such a licence is also required to manage in the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League." He's signed up to be the Rangers manager on a permanent basis so how can he be halfway through the license? Are you saying he can’t manage us in the Europa? FFS!!

McEwan's Lager 30,512 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 The licensing system is a complete and utter con. It’s simply rent seeking from the equivalent of the League Manager Associations in in each country in cahoots with UEFA (for whom it’s a nice little earner). The system goes a long way to explaining why you see a merry go round of Allardyce, Mark Hughes, Pulis and the like for jobs in England. Have to agree with @K.A.I though, it’s a bit amateurish from us to appoint someone in this state - the rules are unfortunately the rules.

Have to agree with @K.A.I though, it’s a bit amateurish from us to appoint someone in this state - the rules are unfortunately the rules. The trouble is it takes years to get the Pro License, you have to first get the C, then the B, then the A License before you can finally go for the Pro one. Gerrard has only been retired for a couple of years (and also bearing in mind the Pro License takes at least two years to complete), he probably just hasn't had enough time to complete it. It is a joke though, I agree. Courtyard Bear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulbrian11 432 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 At least he’s doing something football related and with an eye on any potential signing for us. It isn’t ideal though but it’s better than PLG running marathons in the desert instead of getting to grips with the job and Scottish football.
