K.A.I 36,183 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Just now, The Dude said: He’s marketable but he’s certainly not THAT marketable. He’s not exactly a big personality (like a McCoist or a Maradona or a Gazza) nor is he someone that huge companies are falling over to have endorse their products. We’ll get interest from Liverpool fans but beyond that I don’t see anything that makes me think we’ll notice any sizeable difference just because we’ve appointed him. I think he’s considerably bigger than McCoist or Gascoigne was imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I meant those guys as in they are the kind of personality who are walking stories for papers etc and are always involved in something. Gerrard is dull as fuck.

How many of you watched MLS consistently when he went over there? Gerrard has been the topic of global discussion over the past 48 hours. He’s got more column inches than Celtic who just won 7 in a row. The interest is global. Debate his credentials to be manager all you like, but his brand is of significant value.

The Ibrox Derry 8,905 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 If he was in Glasgow some cunt surely would have seen him at some stage. A hotel worker perhaps, somebody seeing him in his car, or sneaking out of airport etc etc. Not saying that there would definitely be photographic evidence, but surely an eye witness? There has been nothing , which leads me to believe he is not even in Scotland, never mind Glasgow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears&Reds 460 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 11 minutes ago, tannerall said: Not sure what's going on at Liverpool, first Gerrard goes, and now Klopp's number 2 Zeljko Buvac has resigned, suggests there might have been trouble with the manager. Some Liverpoool fans suggesting Gerrard will be Klopp's number 2 now. All very strange as they are virtually guaranteed a Champion's League final if they keep it together. There is nothing co-ordinated going on, Gerrard may or may not become Rangers manager, Buvac hasn't resigned he is taking at least a month off from the club, depending on who you believe he has either had a disagreement with Klopp or is suffering from burnout and depression. As for Gerrard being Klopps number 2, i would be stunned if that were the case, either Buvac will come back after his break or Peter Krawietz will be promoted or a completely new number 2 will be brought in, I think mentioning Gerrard as a new number two is abit of wishful thinking from the Gerrard worshippers amongst the fanbase. Having watched quite a few videos of the two of them interacting I honestly get the impression that Klopp and Gerrard aren't that close. IMO Klopp would be very wise not to have him as a number two, Gerrard is a fiercely driven individual and wants the managers job and wouldn't think twice about knifing Klopp or anyone else in the back to get it.

Orange Persson 548 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Still think we need an experienced manager. The only time rookies succeed is with massive money. Apart from legends like Clough etc. When a manager is in a game, he needs to be able to recount and re-call on past situations. How much hot water you have been in and got out of, counts for a lot. Even in Scotland, many clubs are miles ahead here Think about it, we haven't had a proper manager since Walter. This again is too left field with SG.

Increased revenue through people buying tickets to come see his team. Through shirt sales attached to players he brings in. This is the key for me, Danny Murphy spoke about it today that Steve Clarke, Tommy Wright even Rodgers wouldn’t have the pulling power that he would have through his name and respect he has earned. Clubs will give him youth players, experienced players that he knows might fancy being part of his team etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyhrfc 2,242 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Ultimately there needs to be a revolution in Scottish football. I am not saying that SG is the answer but something radical needs to happen with investment coming in from the middle east or far east. Rangers is a massive brand and we need to market ourselves and push forwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re missing the point. LA Galaxy were the talk of the football world a couple weeks ago when they signed Zlatan. Now? Who gives a fuck. There will always be initial interest in the story - I haven’t suggested otherwise - but I’ve seen nothing that suggests simply hiring Steven Gerrard has any long term benefits in that regard.
