There’s a lot of people who have been coasting this season, and the more you think about it I believe that includes Gerrard too.

A shake up and a fresh set of eyes is what a lot of these players need, not only for our season, but also if they want to get the moves that a lot of them think they have already earned.

Look at how McLeish galvanised it and brought what looked like a dead season back to life after he replaced Advocaat as an example of how a change can go right.

Coasting is a good way to discribe it, there's definitely a different feeling this season, hopefully whoever it is that comes in can influence hearts and minds in that squad.

i doubt we'll see much if anything from the money we got from gerrard fucking off. new manager needs paying and those accounts were grim. can't see us buying any players with it. we will need to punt players in january and whatever we make from that will go towards trying to get new players. even then not too hopeful. we're skint and up shit creek.  we're desperate to win the league for the CL money to balance things out. don't imagine having anything to buy new players until summer once ST renewals come in and if we manage to win the title.

Probably a lot of shite.

TBH if he comes in with big numbers for likes of Kent and Kamara then we’ll need to accept this. 

We’re still in need of some big cash if offered say £30M for both it needs to be done if like it or not.

He will and we do.

Spot on. Changing jobs is part and parcel of working life. Steven Gerrard had his reasons for going to Villa. Thanks for your efforts and good luck in the future.

Life at Rangers goes on though. We get behind the new manager and their coaching staff. Still plenty to play for this season.

Dingwall has just posted a Feyenoord Ajax game in the Bear Pit with the caption “just saying”.

Assume this is some kind of hint.

My biggest fear is that Gerrard comes in for Ryan Kent in January.

if he pays 20 million thats fine :)

[BlueAvenger 10,270]

Hopefully we get a new manager in pronto and he puts a rocket up the players arses. Time to forget the last manager

In farness, if it's someone like Gio Van Bronckhorst, CL winner and World Cup finalist, and they can't command respect from those players, there's something wrong. 

It's not like Gerrard was getting the most out of them this season. A fresh set of eyes and a new influence might be exactly what's needed.

GVB has a list of honours as a player that easily betters Gerard’s. He would command all the respect he should ever need.

If we get him.

Exactly. It’s not like we are losing a Guardiola or a Klopp.
 

SG did reasonably well for us and his very presence probably attracted some players but we would be fooling ourselves if we said he can’t be replaced as a manager, skills wise.

There isn’t one of us who hasn’t cursed his inflexibility or failure to change things around  when needed at times. 

It’s time to thank him for winning 55 and move on to someone else..

We are in a great position for a new manager coming in a settled team four points clear and with a very decent squad.

We have all complained about various parts of Gerrards management, subs were weird, timing of subs equally weird, the lethargy in the way we have started the season.

depending on who we get  we could really see our team pushing on we have better players than any team in the league, is it now time to let the players off the leash and bin this ten holding midfielders we play and show everyone why we are champions.

 

Me being a very positive member on here can see this being the beginning of something beautiful

 

Always knew you were a positive chap. 

I feel exactly the same, I have no idea what has been wrong this season but it has not been right and while we are 4 points ahead I think this is a great opportunity to get someone in to take us further forward once again.

If he does then that's, say, £20m in which goes a long way to bringing in a replacement and helping balance the books a bit.

[Cooperson 822]

Fuck it why not Michael O'Neil ex Northern Ireland coach? 

Done really well with them,

I know it was international footballl not domestic football 

Don't know what he's upto at the moment but I think he lived or owns property in Edinburgh 

Davis as his side kick - captain ?

Fuck knows tbf

I won’t lie and say Kent is not a big player for us but like Gerrard he is not irreplaceable, especially in the context of Scottish football. Our most impressive win of the season a couple of weeks back  at Motherwell shows we can batter teams with or without Kent .

If someone offers silly money for him we will have no alternative

He's manager of Stoke just now, would prefer GVB to be honest.

Hopefully the new one will win more than 1 trophy out of 9 ... even last year with the best team in the country we still somehow managed to win neither cup

I know nothing about who plays for them, so I wonder if there's any players we could get on loan from them?  

[bluenoz 30,915]

I hope the new gaffer is hired as fast as Gerrard's exodus was but I highly doubt it.

Chance for players to impress the new manager too.

Katic and Itten like this. 

[JograBear 1,074]

Exciting is its someone like Gio.

Gutting if its someone like Russell Martin.

Villa had the money to make it quick and easy.....sadly, we aren't in the same boat.

Steve Bruce'll be knocking that one right back.
