Will be immortalised forever in our history books when he lifts the title this season and stops their ten. Here comes the negative part: If it weren’t for Covid he wouldn’t be here anymore. Made a rip roaring cunt of last season and his record in cup games and games against the likes of Aberdeen, Kilmarnock and Hearts was quite frankly embarrassing. Thankfully he seems to have sorted the games against smaller teams in the league now though and I’m sure cup games will rectify themselves eventually. All in all my feeling is, cheers Stevie, you’re a good guy. My sentiments exactly. I wanted him gone. I thought he was gone after "that" post match interview. I thought he lacked a plan B and Covid 100% saved his job. I actually thought at the start of the season he was under less pressure because he was almost resigned to losing his job or being sacked which took some pressure off. Three seasons in and whilst we had seen dramatic progress in Europe and some minor progress in the league, it wasn't enough. Not many managers stand on our hallowed sideline 3 years without a trophy. Whilst I want him here now, I will still hold my tongue until we have lifted the trophy. I do think myself and so many others were wrong in wanting the trigger pulled and if we win this season it shows how some trust and belief in a long term plan can work. The European progress and the elimination of fear playing in an old firm game all mean nothing without a trophy to show for it but if we pick up that big 55 this season then it will all equate to something and mean something. He has been backed more than anyone else with a smaller name would be and now is the time to deliver. He does that and I'll build the statue myself. And the background staff deserve a lot of credit. Beale seems to be the brains and the way he has adapted by improving our defensive work and learning new ways to beat the block has been priceless.

Back then it did look as though it was the same old bottling job, even worse after the Hibs game. Forget the meltdown they've had, the way we've just charged on this season has been absolutely remarkable bar one massively disappointing game in Paisley.

roboscot 1,169 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I don't believe he was ever in any danger of being sacked last season. King, and the board at the time, knew it wasn't a 2 season project to turn the squad around. He's done well overall with recruitment, a few duds aside, but you could aim that criticism at any manager. Now, with a strong DOF and a playing philosophy that runs right through all of the football teams from women's to first XI, we'll actually be in a good place if and when Liverpool does come calling for him.

gmcf 33,940 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I wouldnt go along with ' Covid saved his job ' . After the Pedro Caixinha era , this was always going to be a rebuild job with bumps along the way . We were so far away back then , that it was never going to be an overnight fix . Rangers , under Gerard , have improved year on year . Despite the set backs , he has closed the gap each season against rivals who have far greater resources at their disposal . Lets hope , recognising the additions of Roofe and Itten , to lessen the burden on Alfredo Morelos's shoulders , was the next , and final piece of the jigsaw .

I'm not sure if he would - he doesn't come across as a quitter . I think he'll have looked upon this as a project spread over a few years and expected there would be some set backs as long as there had been visible year on year progress .

There's no difference between what Gerrard does at his pressers to Brian Rice, Ian McCall, Lee Miller or Jack Ross. I've done a few of Gerrard's now and can honestly say I've never come away from any of them thinking it was anything different to what I've seen and heard a thousand times before.

RockwellGers 14,594 Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share Posted January 23, 2021 Post match interview with Hateley and Mccann chatting to Gerrard, great to listen to. Stevie talking about the focus in training is very in depth and specific. Especially because it absolutely worked! Still so restrained after that today, such focus.

MacBoyd 5,328 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 What a job he has done as a rookie manager. Built a team with limited funds after we finished 3rd in the league and were getting thrashed by celtic. Straight away got us competing at home and abroad playing good football. Within 3 years has totally transformed the club to make us by miles the best team in the country. If he stays for a few years I think we can have a very successful period, he's one of the best young managers in Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
