We had 2 scouse managers that did ok or was it because their names were both Ron. Villa almost has this supernatural ability to the past. So a scouse manager might just work. Although Ron Saunders was from Birkenhead.

Actually I read up on this yesterday, and I believe your scouse if you're from Birkenhead, while Liverpool you're a plastic scouser*.

Carragher said on Sky yesterday that he doesn’t think Gerrard will leave Rangers right now - that although Villa would be very tempting, he wants a couple more trophies and at least one more title before leaving. In his opinion (and he’s obviously close to Gerrard).

what about callum Davidson? Won more than gerrard I've heard.  Has added"not gerrard" bonus

Get him in! Whoever told you about him must be a wise sage indeed.

Get Tam Courts in. He has Dundee United playing good football with the benefit of being the first team to beat Rangers in a season and a bit.

That’s quite reassuring Marion. I hope Carragher knows his mate as well he thinks.

I think if Rangers were bottom of their Europa League group with no chance of the next round then his temptation to leave would be higher

A few more trophies at Rangers? That’s as prestigious as filling a page in a Panini sticker album.

See there was some support for Howe overnight. My main issue with him is that despite spending a fair bit on it he never managed to put out a decent defence. If he was twiddling his thumbs I'd be less against it but the idea of a wage/budget bidding war with Newcastle for him makes me feel cold.

Hardly a challenge when early on in yesterday's game against Rosd County Rangers had 93% possession!

It sounds dominant,  but six of the Ross County players were at the fried pizza kiosk.

Yes there was that one year where he spent about £120m. To be fair he did buy Ake who was good for them, before Man City came calling.

If Ellesmere Port counts as scouse then you can also include Graham Turner and Joe Mercer.
