Potter

28% win ratio at Brighton yet made out to be some sort of football God.


….and did really well in a pub league. Like Gerrard. Yet some don’t like Gerrard because of his Liverpool connection, and didn’t like Terry because of Chelsea. At some point we need to remove the inferiority complex. I imagine Guardiola is a Barcelona fanatic and I imagine Klopp would get an enormous reception from the  Dortmund yellow wall….doesn’t necessarily mean they spend their careers fawning about it.

Its not particularly the inferiority complex its more the fawning over Anfield when visiting and its a steppingstone to the Liverpool Job.


If Gerrard got the Liverpool job after Klopp then it would almost certainly mean he’d done a brilliant job at AVFC. I’ll take that, especially as Klopp going anywhere is years away

It isn't that Gerrard is an ex Liverpool player per se,  it's that him being an ex Liverpool player who it's known Purslow admires seems to be the main reason he's being linked.

If Zombies had won the Europa league last year or gone deep into the latter stages of champions league Id be all aboard the G-train. As it stands he's done OK in Scotland just as Celtic imploded.

Further more I've been trying to think of the last time a famous English player went on to have a good managerial career.

 England internationals who went on to become good club managers.

John Barnes - nope
Bryan Robson - nope
Tony Adams - nope
Stuart Pearce - nope
Alan Shearer- nope
Paul Scholes - nope
Gary Neville - nope
Paul Ince - nope

Steven Gerrard the thinking mans after dinner speaker is going to buck that trend is he?  Is he bollocks.

Our last trophy was in 1996, Aberdeen won their first trophy since 1996 under Derek McInnes so clearly if achievements in Scotland count he should be in the frame too along with Neil Lennon and Gordon Strachan.

Here's a bold prediction: Gerrard will only ever manage one Premier League club, and it will be for less than 12 months. I hope it's not us.
