He was a big name but had fuck all experience and bringing in a guy who had managed a couple seasons at under 18's level was a bit mental other than the fact his name carried weight He brought in a backroom team very highly regarded within the game. This was his biggest signing. East Enclosure Row N 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe in getting into a lather over what at present is still only speculation. Gerrard may leave us or he may stay with us. Just now it's like waiting on the toss of a coin. My post was simply a bit of tongue-in-cheek humour. What would count as credible if newspaper reports saying he's the number 1 target isn't?

Can you compile a list of young managers who play pressing attacking football for me and i’ll have a look at them tomorrow and text my pals one of their names and they’ll think i’m some sort of guru. If not, i’ll just tell my group chat it’s going to be David Martindale. TIA. ForeverAndEver 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zander1 180 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Eternal optimist... But if Gerrard is approached, turns it down flat-out and states that he has unfinished business here, then it would actually be a huge morale boost to the whole squad. Admittedly, we'd be in the exact same position we are now, but after all the speculation, it would almost feel like a new signing. beararse and Swagger 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard’s personality and aura are huge and I seriously think we struggle to replace that. It’s fine throwing out names like Reborv or Farke and posting stats that show how well he’s done in Eastern Europe or articles that say how great a tactician he is, but if you don’t have that presence and ability to handle one of the most unique places to manage then you are basically a dead man walking from the off. That’s where my worry lies. That might be the case if we were up against a Martin O Neill tarrier side, but the new manager is up against a fat Aussie lump of shite and his band of vagabonds, we make a decent appointment quickly and the title is still very much in our grasp, do get what your saying about us missing Gerrards presence though and hopefully the new man (if there is one) can continue the standards set.

Popular Post Bannockbear 166 Posted November 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2021 He gave us 55, runs in Europe and old firm wins put us back to the top of Scottish football, however he also gave us a dreadful domestic cup record due to defeats against lower opposition and more than a few questionable signings. If he goes fair enough but we will have a better calibre of manager interested than 3yrs ago. beararse, Ayrshire Blue, graeme_4 and 2 others 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
