the fact that Gerrard even considered taking the job in the first place confirms he does not have a clue what is going on at ibrox
This

They’ve played to his ego and ‘promised’ Fresh investment

They’ve spun 2 directors resigning and it’s not stopped him

Any news on the huge Investment, just a thought, we are awash with cash, we have been prudent with our signing's and general business, so the thought is as they get more, and more desperate to stop the 10, we can up the ante, and for every fiver they spend......
I'd be surprised (nay amazed) if Gerrard has agreed to come in without some kind of assurance over what budget he is getting. Now whether he can trust GLIB is a different matter entirely but I am pretty sure that he has been promised funds for squad improvement. I personally think even 20m wouldn't touch the sides with that squad but who knows.
Where on earth are they going to scrimp £20 million together from?
I genuinely have no idea. Do you think Gerrard would take it, though, if he thought he was on a pure hiding to nothing? I'm speculating here but Gerrard is a smart guy who has ambitions to ultimately manage Liverpool - I'd be staggered if he was prepared to stake his reputation on managing Rangers without significant funds to prevent 10-in-a-row.

I've said before , wouldn't surprise me if Souness is involved somewhere - he's been involved in a 'albeit failed' consortium before

How an alleged Tim can manage them is beyond me. He is either thick as feck or seriously deluded. What with their flag waving fascist tendencies he should have known better. Foreign managers may not fully appreciate Sevconians bigoted bile, but he should be. If it goes wrong for him the Huns will turn on him for being a Tim.

Both ourselves and Sevco have hired 6 rookie managers (their first managerial job in football) since the days of colour TV. Three each. Two have been a success - Souness and Lennon. The rest were all failures. The two successes benefited from their city rivals being badly run so that when they made rookie mistakes (which all new managers do) they weren't punished as severely as they could have been.

I know that we will get loads of comparisons with Souness in the coming days - assuming Gerrad takes the job which I suspect he will. What they will not mention is in his first summer, the Beast bought the most coveted defender in the UK and the best up and coming goalkeeper. To do that now (VVD & Jordan Pickford)would cost £100M. Add to that Graham roberts, Colin West and Jimmy Phillips, in todays money that would probably be around the £145M mark for just one season.

When he was doing that the Celtic board were telling Davie Hay he had to fund signings out of his own pocket.

I think the jury's now out on that one.

He punched a DJ in a pub because he wouldn't play a song. A sign of true intelligence.

In fairness, Liverpool U18s have won one of their last five, so he has all the credentials.

Has King conned someone into chucking cash at the huns purely based on Gerrard's 'big name'?

Am with Murphio on this one. There simply has to be significant funds becoming available to him otherwise why touch the job? Makes no sense.

How they conjure that up is another matter.

Overall delighted. Another arrogant self-absorbed cock who thinks he just needs to turn up and it will all fall into place.

I ❤️ Pedro but I think I might just ❤️ Stevie G more

If Gerrard is taking this post he is an utter fool. Anyone who would voluntarily walk in to a job with employers with their form is simply bonkers.

Perhaps he is like the straight person who gets into a relationship with a gay person on the "I'll change them" basis.
