Life after Gerrard

[esquire8 42,465]

When listening to the Gerrard: Evolution of a Revolution podcast by Edgar and Clifford today, the question popped up about the club after Gerrard.

Now obviously we are years away from his contract being up or his eventual call back home, but one thing I found quite interesting was Edgar's opinion of the backroom staff. He always thought that once Gerrard left, the rest would leave too. That was until very recently when he thinks that might not be the case with certain members of the backroom team, in particular Michael Beale. 

This tying in with the fact Beale moved to Scotland with his family, do you think the opportunity might be presented to Beale once the time comes for Gerrard to leave? And what would you think of such plans being in place?

We will fokw the Southampton model that Wilson used and that is a list will be sitting at the moment with potential replacements for SG

 

Beale will probably go with SG unless he decides he does fancy going it alone.

Problem is these type of in house promotions don't always work

I’d happily let Beale take the job.

Any deviation from the system we currently have would be transformative at all levels. Unless it gets severely broken, why fix it?

Beale would provide continuity and his reputation speaks volumes. It could be Walter #2.

Why are we 'obviously' years away from him leaving?

Would rather a proven manager replaces him

Surely the role of a DOF is to provide continuity

Still has 3 years left on his deal and it's not looking like Klopp is going anywhere soon.

You're assuming it's nailed on he leaves here directly for Liverpool. It isn't.

If he wins the league this year we have automatic UCL. He will be here for 2 more seasons I reckon.

I think this will be Gerrards last season. I expect it to be successful and he goes with best wishes. No to be negative but you can only do so much in Scotland.

Another Pedro and all current schemes and premium seating in place to rip the fans off silly will fall flat on their arse

In fairness, appointing Beale would be less of a risk than it was appointing Gerrard

@KingKirkwill get the job once Gerrard goes, heard it here first

It he is successful why would he leave when CL group stages is a guarantee ?

I see you pee. That was funny about 20 years ago mate grow up

He'll take his team with him, he trusts them, delegates to them, his experience was as a player he needs a backroom staff to fill in the gaps he lacks as a manager.

Together they are a superb package.

I think when Liverpool come calling he’ll go. Can’t see it being anywhere else. Would he jump to a West Ham or a Leicester? Can’t see it myself. 

Keeps up his success and he’s a shoe in for the Liverpool job. I also think he’ll take the majority of the backroom team.

Ross Wilson’s job is to keep the continuity. He’ll have a number of managers and backroom staff on the list that fit the profile.

[Monkey Butler 23,020]

Why would he leave for England when he has the chance to stay here and pit his wits against the mighty Postecoglou?

[We Will Follow Rangers 12,921]

One things for sure we'll be a far more desirable proposition post Gerrard for any prospective manager coming in.

Yeah. It’s a fantastic job to come into. 

Looking forward to telling the new manager that ‘the media aren’t his friends, and we’re his only friends’ upon appointment. 

[SPWF 8,230]

Mick Beale will be offered the job whenever Gerrard does leave. He’s on record as saying he’s like to move into management eventually. It’d be a no brained for everyone involved.

So he'd stay for 6 CL matches don't see it mate tbh

[Moody Blue 9,349]

Surely we'd go for whoever gave the best PowerPoint presentation?  Ahh the bants.....

I see Gerrard being here for at least the next 2 seasons. Whenever Gerrard leaves that's when i will worry about it. Until then I am not going to think about it. That's Wilsons job.
