Steven Gerrard - yes or no

[Clive W]

Every great British manager has been sacked at some point.

At the risk of being controversial, I’m not sure I would categorise Pullis as a great manager

Forgive my ignorance on the matter but was Sir GT ever sacked - he resigned from the England Post

Have Liverpool FC written in blood and stone somewhere that SG must simply have to be their manager at some point in the future.  What bollocks.  When Klopp goes they will choose the best manager available at the time that they can get.   They won’t go - Klopp is going - call SG and offer him the job.
The point is.  His worth now is based on some stupid assumption that he is already good enough to be Liverpool manager in the future.
The truth is somewhat is nobody knows -  but the “media” love it (him being auto next LFC manager) for some reason. It’s bloody weird.  How did he get that rep?

Jock Stein, Matt Busby, Bill Shankly, Bill Nicholson ?

Surprisingly like JT, Pulis is a Celtic fan apparently.

Less surprisingly so is Chris Sutton.   https://twitter.com/chris_sutton73/status/1458514388281925638

The dog heads sacked him when he tried to sell the family silver I think

He resigned from Wolves.

I literally have no idea if this is a good idea or not. That's my contribution to the debate.

Sutton's the Farage of football - a shit stirrer supreme.

[Big Ming]

For him to eventually get the Liverpoo job, he would have to have been a big success at Villa first.

Win - Win.

Agreed. Liverpool were smart enough to appoint Klopp. I don't think their decision-makers are daft enough to acquiesce to the longings of a former employee just for shits and giggles.

Edit: their last bad appointments were Roy Hodgson and Kenny Dalglish (Mk 2). I wonder which boneheaded CEO did that?!

If Gerrard gets the job, as seems increasingly likely, then as long as he does a good job for us I will be a happy fan. I’m not too concerned about his association with Liverpool but I am more concerned by his lack of experience.

As a player and manager he’s never had to deal with a struggling team, and that experience is invaluable in tough times - particularly if you come through the other side. However he should have picked up some good habits over the years and hopefully has learned a thing or two in Scotland and picked up a few pointers on how he could improve as a manager.

I think this is a massive appointment for Purslow. If our owners are as ambitious as we hope, Gerrard not succeeding at the Villa would be a failure which falls squarely on his head and I reckon he’d be out in the same taxi as Gerrard.

Which should be everyone's stance......but it would be a crap thread if we had 30 pages of that, so let's keep the pontificating going.

[PaulWinch again]

Yep I’ve no idea what it will bring, but when he joins I’ll support him.
