Step back from the computer and think about that one. It's a fucking youth coach getting appointed due to being at a club King supports, when we're fucking shite and getting embarrassed nearly every week, and we replace a youth coach with another one. Also, the irony of that despite you saying, we can't afford a big name and then proceeding to call Gerrard a big name is unreal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter-of-Smith 566 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 According to the Daily Star (I know) - "Gerrard has told close friends he couldn't turn down the chance of a first managerial role at one of Britain's biggest clubs." Looking forward to the possibilities of Gerrard's Gers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly there is. My view is that the risk to reward ratio even taking these positives into account isn't enough for me. Not by a longshot. But at the same time, I wouldn't be surprised either if he did do the job and proved everyone wrong. I don't think it's as clear cut as a McCoist, Caixhina or Murty that was doomed to fail right from the very start - there's a different feel to this sort of gamble. It's difficult to put my finger on or explain but it's there. and again, there are positives. Maybe not enough tho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already feel like we're a bigger club again with all the media attention, especially in England. It's nice after feeling forgotten in recent years.

KingKirk 26,484 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 For the past week I have been running the Gerrard fan club for RM and even I can see the negatives in appointing the guy. surely to fuck everyone can see some positives no matter how small ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely hope that he does do good and make me look an even bigger mongo than I already am but I just can't see mate, can't see it going any different to this season. Until we're actually good again, I don't see the profile stuff etc. being a positive, the bigger/better players probably is tbf, but only if they don't end up flops like Alves etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats nonsense, everyones talking about us not just 3 of his pals on the tele. Guaranteed players in England who otherwise probably wouldnt think about coming up here would be considering alot more now. Thats 2 positives. Im not saying he’s the ideal appointment or one that jumped out at me, but considering we were after Mcinnes 6months ago this for me would atleast show a bit of ambition. I must be one of the only idiots thats actually excited by this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the thing it keeps coming back to but it’s pointless imo, Gerrard from a business angle is probably a decent appointment but from a football management POV it’s a shambles. Doesn’t matter how good the players he gets in are if he can’t coach them or set them up correctly we will be fucked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCPRANGERS1 2,997 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Simply HAS to get off to a really positive start if he takes it, we haven't had a decent winning run since coming back up and if he could still the team to do that it would go to helping turn doubters (myself included) around. I think if any of us were told at the beginning of the search it would be Gerrard we wouldn't be happy HOWEVER if it's to be him we get behind him and back him. We'd probably all have wanted that experience coming in but it's not to be by the looks of it, Gerrard is without a doubt a gamble but it does not mean he can't do the job but he has some proving to do.

To be honest I think it's about Gerrard's soft skills (TM) as people like to call them. "Gary, it's Steven here, any chance you can tap up that guy we've been looking at after you've interviewed him?" "Frank, you know that guy that played with you in NYC a few times, what's he like?" "Wes, it's Steven here... I know you know defence backwards, anyone about for a left back understudy that I should be looking at here?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
