Steven Gerrard

[dom9]

No, just no.

I mean, why not bring out Robbie Fowler while we're at it.

[Buzzo]

Yeah it doesn’t sit right with me either. He has moved on, its not his time any more.

I don’t think Stevie would be up for it at all.

I'd say he would have been up for it if he was not a manager.

Would be an embarrassing effort though....


For me, forget Stevie the player when you are considering hiring the next manager.

If - god forbid - Klopp left LFC, then SG shouldn't even make the 5 man shortlist.

So right at this present moment in time, I don't even know why he is talking about this. It isn't the first time either.

I don't think that the SPL will ever be an adequate learning ground for an LFC manager going forward. But to be honest, no premier league club is likely to give him a managers job any time soon. So his best route might be something like Championship, get a team promoted and then see where it leads him. But in reality that isn't likely to lead to the LFC job either. Lets just say SG took someone like Sunderland into the Premier League and kept them up. Wow that would be a good effort. But that shouldn't put them on the shortlist for the LFC job.

His most likely scenario of ending up as LFC manager would be on an interim basis a bit like Ole Solskjaer....... but for me, surely Pep Ljinders would be a better shout in that scenario.

[baitman]

Maybe he'd come in as peps number two.

[RichC]

Gutted we didn't sign him as a player in January, even on loan.

This would have been up there and probably surpassed John Terry "full-kit ******" efforts.

[Buzzo]

Terrys getting subbed off on 28 mins (to match his shirt number) to a standing ovation was a real low point in the history of sport. What a ****.

This would run it close.

[Liverpool]

Wouldn't mind if he gave Henderson his medal/trophy but nothing more than that. Obviously impossible due to his current job.

[Shaggy]

No, just no.

This would run it close.

Would be a lot worse imo

Would be a lot wore imo

While it sounds like a nice gesture it's incredibly small time and in no way the sort of thing we should even consider, it would be embarrassing and make us a laughing stock.

We don't want those kind of sympathy votes, leave those to Man Utd and Ryan Giggs getting player of the year because he'd never won it.

All very sensible. He'll never manage us imo.

[Paul12]

... This is a guy that's been brilliant as a 6 when his legs had gone, an 8, a 10 or out wide and quality whenever he filled in at full back yet he's apparently meant to be thick as **** in tactical intelligence. Not his best attribute or a particularly big strength sure, "tactically illiterate" as you put it no chance.

I guess we just disagree. Not the end of the world.

Interestingly, ManUre didn't win the league until they replaced their Gerrard (ie Bryan Robson) too.

[dom9]

Robson won the league. Albeit at the ailing end of his career.

[Angryred]

Robson won the league. Albeit at the ailing end of his career.

Yes, remember Steve Bruce getting Robson up to the podium to lift the trophy with him.

[Paul12]

Yes, remember Steve Bruce getting Robson up to the podium to lift the trophy with him.

Those would be the two seasons where he managed about a dozen appearences each time, mostly of which were from the bench. So I accept I was wrong in fact, but in substance those league wins had nothing to do with him.

[Rafa Justice]

Pretty damning rumours about Rangers and his management thereof on social media at the moment.
