Gman36 3,455 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 This isnt a sack Gerrard thread. Just to make that clear. However, IF it turns out he's not cut out for the job, then he's on three years of a four year deal. Our clowns of a senior management team give Gerrard a four year contract for absolutely no reason other than presumably he pushed for it. Same as giving Pedro a three year deal. Warburton on three year deal then extending after one year, because what he won the championship vastly outspending every other team? We keep tieing ourselves into managers without any pedigree on long term deals. I think it's this delusional attitude of "if we throw everything at it then it'll have to work". It doesn't work like that though. It's been gamble after gamble on untested managers since Walter walked out of the door. Hutton2008 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest fear as that would all but give them 10. Really need to back Gerrard massively in the summer or cut our losses and appoint someone else.

Clearly it's a hump we just have to get over - if we aren't overly progressing past where we are now, we need time to build and move forwards.

Zulu 981 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Ticks all the boxes as a world class footballer and a nice guy but as a manager he is fukin woeful we will go nowhere with this guy at the helm to date he has done fuck all apart from beating they scummy bastards an iwouldnt put any money on him doing it again Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is do we l, and will any manager get time to build and move on? Any other top flight league in the world this season would have been classed as signs of improving. Unfortunately in the bigger picture we have the 9 and then 10 to worry about so any manager who comes in is up against it straight off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smile 26,609 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 If Gerrard doesn't win something next year he's gone. The board gambled on a name rather than a Manager. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannerall 25,935 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Better to sack them all after 6 months, as the only real excitement we get nowadays is when we bring in a new manager. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yousayamato 1 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 We need to back the team, back the club, back the people! I get f#&kin£ fed up listening to tarriers saying we walked away. We all know it's about money, nothing else. Now is the time to dig deep. We're the one of the best supported teams in the world. How many watch our games? Imagine every one who did sent Dave King a cheque for £100. 10 in a row? Aye, right! WATP! Let's show them. Anyone know how to start a Crowdfunding account?

Ayrshire Blue 2,053 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 FFS - what now, sack SG? Aye, feckin great - let’s bring back Pedro, McCall, McCoist. After all, they were brilliant for the club !!! Our Club was shafted, down and out, and will take a couple of years to return where we should be. We are better now than we were under Warbuton and his magic feckin hat. SG is building and although we’ve just been humped by the sheep shaggers, give him time. He’s a rookie manager in charge of a huge club. He has to learn, I’m sure he will - his first season is not a disaster. Or or will we sack him and replace him with ..........?(fill in name here) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, in all honesty I felt like, given where we are that Gerrard was the biggest gamble of them all. If it backfires we know they walk away with 10. But yeah agree with u regards the critical decision CoopsLaud 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
