everyone saying this is going to be a disaster, i would ask why?

with the team they have, and changing managers and all the mess they could still finish second in the league, with decent cup runs.
He must be thinking, what have i got to lose?
...unless, of course, he has fans that expect that they deserve better than that.

what this appears to me is this team spending all they have (and don't have) to stop ten in a row. Bit like dead rangers trying to equal our success. And we know how that ended.
There's no evidence to suggest it's likely to be a success.

It may be one but i'd say the odds are pretty long.

They're handing the gig to a guy with no first team managerial experience and whose record at under 18 level is average at best.

The man in charge of Sevco is a serial liar and convicted fraudster.

We’re cool. :thumbsup:

Not a problem.

They continue with a business model that has been hemorrhaging money since 1986.

This appointment is much more John Barnes than Graeme Souness.

Heard King has come into a lot of money, he's got a TSB Account.
I hope fatboab has checked his statements. :twitch:

Because their expectation isn't to finish second. It's to stop the 10

Finishing 2nd, 3rd or 4th doesn't really make much difference (although I believe it's worth about £1 million more in prize money)

John Barnes at least had a Premiership winning manager assisting him as well, if the rumours are correct Gerrard will have... Gary McAllister. :lol:

It's more Liam Brady than either of those.

I hope he does come in with a bunch of money.

I'd like to see what Brendan can do with some extra motivation and some ££ from the board to strengthen the team if the Huns do spend a few bob.

Might even have a beneficial effect on our general level of play and the talent required for CL group qualification.

There is no way this doesn't end in a masssive clustereff for Rangers. To even start they need at least 7-8 quality players that could at least get a sniff of our match day team...........mental.
Think you are forgetting the fact Gerrard has no managerial experience - BR will tear him a new one as will Neil Lennon and McInnes :thumbsup:
I wasn't saying he would be any good - I don't expect him to be.

I was hoping it may spur some gidee-up from the board to let Brendan improve our squad mate.

Gerrard might be a great manager.

He might bring success to Sevco

He might be able to attract players who would stop us winning the league.

He might have all the man management and tactical nous to step up to the plate to be an excellent coach and manager

There are lots of if's, but's and maybe's attached to the appointment.

I suppose I see why they have taken the punt on Gerrard and why Gerrard has taken the punt on them too given the exposure it will give him. It may even be good for the Scottish game. Despite all this I am disappointed he has accepted - I thought he had a little more savvy and morality about him. I guess I was wrong about him.

Are we expecting Stevie G in the dugout tomorrow or is he likely to take over at the end of the season?

I reckon it'll be end of the season so he can assess just how awful a squad he has to work with in the interim

I don't know why I give them the benefit of the doubt, but even for Sevco standards it would be madness on a different scale if they asked him to take charge of the last 3 games. :lol:

I'd love those daft bastards to put him up against Clarke straight away. An early defeat and the wheels would come off.

Occasional Substitute
[ *  *  *  * ]
Gerrard is super rich, and he never got that himself. Despite his undoubted talent as a player he will have top agents and advisors, all supping from his name. There is money in this move, and IT MAY NOT BE for Sevco. Rich bassas like getting richer, they will cash in on the exposure. Sevco may just a be a vehicle. With a huge, but bitter, bigoted and daft fan base.....follow the money.

If King and co estimated, say, season ticket sales being down 5000 next year then you are talkking 2 or 3 million. Add in the predicted slump in take up of his offer and I'm sure you could sell this as a net save. We know he's a GASL so who knows what he's said about budget.

I am genuinely delighted at this news. Adds spice to the league, and plenty of opportunity for disaster. Celtic can't lose in this situation, folks. Enjoy the 55ide*
