The complete ignorance of Scottish football in general and the Sevco Circus in particular demonstrated by Englsh pundits means they will see it as a good thing. To them, the SPL is a good Celtic plus 11 also-rans, and even then, Celtic have The Premiership痴 Brendan Rodgers to thank. Throw the high profile, ex Premiership legend and fellow pundit Gerrard into the SPL and, as far as those fuds are concerned, SPL suddenly becomes that wee bit more credible, no matter how unsuited for the job he is and how doomed to fail the move is. And when it does fail, they値l shrug it off, offer some words of consolation to him, then move back to talking about The Premiership. |

I actually believe Lee McCulloch would be a less risky appointment than Gerrard. It still smacks of moonbeams though |

It's a big name and one which I didn't think was possible for them to attract. It will increase the profile for Scottish football and should be welcomed, particularly because I don't think it will work out for them. If the rumours of a rift between Rodgers and Gerrard are to be believed it could add a bit of extra interest for Rodgers as well, he might enjoy what little challenge Gerrard can muster. A couple of years ago if someone had said Rodgers at Celtic and Gerrard at the huns....... no chance. |

Why is it less risky to appoint someone who is known to be a shampooe manager rather than someone who might or might not be? |

I'm not sure McCulloch would ever get the chance to get his teeth into a job at that level. |

It may seem credible to them...for a period but, no way would he be in line for a top 10 team down there at this stage of his managerial career. To me it's just making our league look like more of a joke. They won't be talking about Scottish football anymore than they did previously they will be talking about their pal though whom I hope falls flat on his arse as soon as.. if he does take it. I don't believe he will (take the job) |

It may up the profile because of that but it won't make it any less of a joke that a guy with this little experience is taking the reins at one of the biggest clubs in the country. |

Ach, to be honest there isn't really anything that would make them respect our game. Even when we were horsing their teams in Europe they thought the wee boys got lucky. I'll just be glad of the inevitable circus. |

Agree 100% about respecting Scottish football, it'll never happen. What disappoints me most about Gerrard's possible appointment is that the fawning SMSM sycophants will revere every boring, squeaky syllable that falls from his gob! If we thought the - future England manager and former City trader - Warburton era heralded some of the most ridiculous propaganda driven excrement ever witnessed then multiply that by a thousand. In terms of the continuation myth we can expect off the radar moonbeams. In terms of his links with the Liverpool academy players then there is no reason to expect anything other than a solid second spot, unless Lenny can keep his team together or find equally good replacements. Watching Gerrard talk last night he appears to 'speak with authority' about the game whilst off it. I can do that, easily! His biggest downfall may well be his massive ego. I doubt it would be too long before the cracks begin to show and he loses the plot blaming everyone but himself. He'll get on well with King in that regard. |

See all this chat about Gerrard possibly being Klopp's no.2 at Anfield - the guy who's just walked out on that position is apparently favourite for the Arsenal job. Does that not suggest that maybe Klopp would want someone of similar standing to be his assistant? Gerrard may turn out to be a good manager one day, but it's more likely that he won't. It's been commented on several times before though that the best players rarely make the best managers. Given that he has no proper managerial experience, let alone experience of being a manager at a club with totally unrealistic ambitions, there's absolutely nothing that suggests that this would be a wise move for him. It'd be a slightly wiser move for Sevco because he's a big enough name to help them sell enough season tickets to gullible idiots so they can keep the lights on for another few months, but ultimately it's the sort of really stupid idea that we've all come to expect from them. The total ignorance that most in England have about Scottish football will be displayed in full if Gerrard takes the Sevco role. You'd have to be a dyed-in-the-wool hun to even consider taking on the job if you actually knew anything about the club or Scottish football in general. Sure on the face of it they've got the second biggest support in Scotland, and you can believe the story about them being the same club that won quite a few trophies (some of them legally), but they're run by crooks and their solitary ambition of finishing above Celtic in the league is years away at best. It's just not a job for anyone who wants to make a name for themselves as a manager. |

Someone like McCulloch at least knows how Sevco operate. He壇 be better positioned to deal with people like Halliday and the kitman, who are only there because of their staunchness, than an outsider would. He also knows how to speak in a way that will appeal to the hun support and has knowledge of all the funny handshakes that are required for such a role. |

It値l definitely raise the profile of the Scottish game, and he値l probably be a complete failure. Have to say, I知 struggling to see the downside here. |

When I heard Barnes was going to be our new manager my first thought was, "what the hell are they thinking, that's the stupidest thing we've ever done". Barnes had zero experience as a manager and absolutely no idea whatsoever what it would be like to manage a club like Celtic. He thought he could do it because at Liverpool there was pressure but its incomparable. To this day I still struggle to wrap my mind round it. Gerrard would be an epic disaster. Even bigger than Barnes. That said, he won't take the job. Edited by tinytim81, 2 May 2018, 08:51 AM.

It is "rumoured" that Gerrard was expecting a role within the club after he retired from playing but Rodgers didn't offer him one. It is also rumoured that Rodgers called Gerrard last week to speak to him about something, left a message on his phone, but Gerrard didn't call him back. It's internet speak so is likely to be a load of old shampooe, but that's the rumour. |

Apparently SG wants 3 year contract and 20 million for transfers each season. He must know that's not anywhere near possible. Out of touch doesn't cover it. Stevie G does walking away I think. |
