Next Manager Speculation and wishful thinking thread

[sickbeggar]

If you have a local DJ you don't like then I'd be getting excited.

In all seriousness though it's one big risk on his part to become successful here to get the Liverpool gig. He has much more of a chance if he stays up there and wins a few more titles. On that basis I don't think he'll come.

Depends what money they throw at him. If he's promised 100m for players then why wouldn't he?

Wrongly, £100m is nothing outlandish these days, when you're target is CL qualification.

Hate any bollocks notions of a shortlist. 

It's not a McDonald's vacancy.

Do you want fries with that?

Martinez gaining traction.
Praying to god no!
Some real depressing shit being touted about. 
Let’s hope we can find another Touchel.

Nicolò Schira on Twitter:

#AstonVilla are working to convince #RangersGlasgow’s coach Steven #Gerrard to become the new coach of #Villans. Offered 3-years contract. #transfers #AVFC #RangersFC

Think he's well connected and a pretty respected journalist, so this is a bit of a worry.  Purslow wants Gerrard doesn't he?

He's a charlatan of epic proportions. Ignore anything he says. Not a journo at all.

One of the Mirror Sports writers outed him as a plagiarising fake.

Still doesn't guarantee anything compared to in Scotland. We could have 500 million in January but you still need to attract elite players which is also why Newcastle fans are in for a shock.

Surprised Potter is not getting a mention.

yeah but we've got a good squad ,if unbalanced and threadbare in some areas. Another 3 or 4 30m players in January or this summer and he'd really have to feck up not to make an improvement. Who else in the premier league is going to give him that money based on success at Rangers? He won't get the Liverpool job based on Scotland success alone. The board may just back him if they're such Gerrard fanboys.

Wish he was..take him over Gerrard and fecking Martinez

[Risso]

I don't think Gerrard will be getting the Liverpool job any time soon. Klopp's only 54, I can see him being there for the next ten years at least.

[chrisw1]

He's a ******. He beats up DJs for not playing his sort of music, he tried to cripple George Boateng, he dived to win a free kick that Liverpool scored from to beat us one-nil, he then said "these things even themselves out over the course of a season" before berating the referee when Liverpool had a similar decision go against them the very next week, he wore a T-shirt showing solidarity with a racist teammate, he manages a repulsive football club and refuses to call out their sectarianism. Happy?

Not really, no.  I'm not going to present a 'case for' but most of that sounds pretty tenuous stuff to me really - the on-field stuff is the sort of stuff that happens all the time.  I see who he manages in Scotland is a big issue to you, but that's more your problem than his.

I don't really want him as manager, but for very differnt reasons to you clearly.

So GBH, racism and sectarianism aren't a problem for you? You don't have to agree but I hope it has cured your bewilderment at why others might not approve of him.

The DJ thing doesn't bother me at all - sounds like the guy deserves a slap.

In the nicest possible way, you sound like an absolute dickhead here.

There's no need for that.  I'm just not going to cry for someone who seems to have gone out of his way to wind soemone up for a whole night and gets his comeuppance

[TonyD]

Martinez ffs.

Thanks for that nugget.

What I don't get, if Dean Smith isn't the person to take us to the next level, then in what way is Gerrard (1 cup out of 9 in a piss poor league) any better qualified?

Appointing him would be starfucking, pure and simple.
