The only thing that makes sense (I know) is that they do have serious money coming in. Gerrard's advisors would surely have done due diligence.
It'll be really interesting to see what they've come up with this time. Bring it on!
Why the eff would they be appointing Gerrard if they had serious money to burn?
This - in a nutshell.

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

We’re cool. :thumbsup:
GASL is more toxic than Novichok

I'm still intrigued as to why spotlight-seeking Potless Paul walked away before the grand unveiling ? The man is a publicity junkie

I keep reading things like "you'd have to assume Gerrard will have demanded significant investment in the team", and "Gerrard wouldn't take this job unless he knew there was money to spend".

Why?

What other jobs do people think Gerrard was offered? A few days ago he was linked with the Ipswich job. Today George Burley is being linked with that job and Tony Mowbray has said he's not interested. That's the bracket Gerrard is in. He's was an A-list player, but he's not even a B-list manager. This idea he'd definitely knock Sevco back without grand promises assumes he's got anything more than his U-18's job (whisper it, but he might actually be struggling in that role) or a stint at MK Dons on the horizon.

Then there's this line about how "Gerrard's not stupid, he'll be taking advice". Gerrard may or may not be stupid, but he's certainly ignorant when it comes to Scottish football. For all he had a great career, he's only ever seen the inside of 2 football clubs, one of which was LA Galaxy. His career was nothing but plain sailing in terms of off-feild dealings. Every contract he signed will have been bigger than the last. He's never dealt with a dodgy chairman or broken promises or a club in financial distress. The idea that he can't be duped is based soley on the idea that he's too rich to take what looks like a bad job. Fine, but the flip side of that is he's rich enough to take big risks with his career, and may be more interested in doing something exciting than doing something sensible.

The question I always ask when it comes to Sevco is, why aren't they going for the obvious solution? Why did they miss out on Rangers fan Kenny McLean and instead going for Carlos Pena? Why did they end up with Pedro, then Murty, and not McInnes? Why did a club who have crucial European qualifiers in summer sign half a team of 6 month loanees in Januray? Why is a 21-year-old first choice centre back like David Bates leaving for a Bundesliga team on a free contract? Why is Steve Clarke 20 miles up the road working miracles, only for Sevco to go and pluck Steven Gerrard from a youth team job?

The answer they're looking to sell to their fans is "that's the obvious solution, but we're trying to do something even better". The real answer is always "We're effing skint and we're trying to appear flush so these saps will buy season tickets".

Not that I imagine he cares but I owe remy an apology for doubting his source. I'd made up my mind that no one with Gerrard's contacts could be so stupid as to tie themselves to the mast of that sinking ship.

It's weird that although this is absolutely fantastic new for us, I'm still annoyed that the thick scouse :carrot: could be so stupid. But I have no doubt in my mind that this is going to be a lesson in humiliation for him and a lot of fun for us.

Good appointment, nice subplot to the league. No hope of success. I'll take it.

It’s a good appointment for the SPFL with the broadcasting rights coming up for grabs within the next few weeks. That’s about all I can think of when it comes to positivity. :lol:

Absolute last fling of the dice, had we only beat them by one or two last week would Murty have gone and the scrabble for a name daft enough to take it begin?

Insane, still not sure I believe he is really that stupid.

The amount of media fawning going on over an ex-Liverpool player and untested youth coach is sickening. :boik:
He has less managerial experience than Murty. He has NO managerial experience at all but that matters not a jot.
When it all blows up in their face like a Kirk Broadfoot microwave egg, it'll be absolutely joyous.
