Every manager and coach I have spoken to has said I will make loads of mistakes, and your first job is better to be away from the cameras. The other offers I got [managing MK Dons], it would have been learning on the job at the deep end and I probably wasn’t ready for those jobs. I might have been but I didn’t want to take any risks, especially when there is no timescale or plan of where I want to be in a certain time, so the 18s made sense. “It has been really good so far. I have been shadowing five or six coaches at the academy and been mentored by Steve Heighway and Alex as well. I am still waiting to start in terms of being a No1 coach that leads a team. Shadowing is a bit different, I am more in the background. I haven’t had to make any big decisions, or any substitutions, formations or tactics yet.” It don't read as encouraging at all. We're not an ideal club to learn football management as every mistake will be highlighted, scrutinised, and used as a stick to beat him with. Let's fact it, he'll need to come in and start winning immediately or he'll be gone by the turn of the year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to Gerrard, I can't see him as the type of guy who'd spin the media a load of shite about 'learning' like MW did. And I don't see him doing a Murty and choosing not to talk to the team after an embarrassing performance. Still don't want him near us though.

IF barton was offered the MKdons job he would of took it SG at the time said he didn't feel ready and credit to him for that. I'll say again he wont take it if he doesn't feel he can do it and to me thats pleasing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are former players with little to no idea how to manage a football team of this size. There's guys in the SPFL right now with over a decade of experience managing teams, some have won titles, some have managed in the EPL, and Gerrard has done nothing but work with an U18 team. Gerrard wont get time to make any mistakes here if we go 7pts behind in the league or lose the first two Old Firms the pressure to get him sacked will be very real.

I accept that any manager is a risk however you try your best to derisk your managerial choices . You search for a manager with experience. You search for a manager with even a resemblance of success You don't replace a manager, who has been criticised from all quarters for lacking the experience and replace them some who has even less ... in the role being filled. Yes, he's a proven player, a proven winner & a proven champion at the very highest reaches of his career but in a very different role. Now, don't get me wrong, I will back him to the hilt if thats our choice ... doesn't mean I think it's the right one, I just hope it is. Totally agree and especially with the 'manager with experience' Point, as a big name means nothing. I do feel it's a slap in the face for Murty with the club talking about hiring a under 18's coach before Murty has reached the end of season. How's that going to motivate him and the team to try and secure 2nd place? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueThunder 8,453 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 2 hours ago, StrzBlue said: I recognise the reservations about lack of experience. Gerrard will demand success from the players, board to propel Rangers to the highest summit of Scottish football once again. Furthermore European football-participation will no longer be overwhelmed by blind panic management . This is a man that can take us forward on every level. His name alone will assist our player recruitment and sponsorship potential across uk and global markets for years to come. Our opponents know this very well. Hence the shit- storm of negative commenting from their media puppets today. This has all the hallmarks of being a monumental appointment in the history of our club. I also think attending the recent old firm game at ibrox initiated a mesmerising appreciation of our club and magnificent supporters.Rangers are the quintessential British football club . A proud club with honour and loyalty enshrined in our DNA We need to manipulate every strand to bring our club forward. The cesspit SPFL management / player circus is not the Rangers tradition. We must always aim never to just compete. We must wipe the floor with any club, player, or media that stands in our way of winning titles or trophies. I really hope we get him.?? Strasbear?

The Ibrox Derry 8,904 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 If this doesn't happen now we as a club are going to look like absolute tits AGAIN. How many times is this club going to humiliate it's own fans both on and off the pitch. This could very well be the last straw for me. It gets to a stage where enough is enough.
