Can anyone remember when Steven Gerrard (SG) was manager of Glasgow Rangers, I said on a few occasions he wasn’t the right guy for the job and didn’t like how long it took for him to win the league? I’m pretty sure I argued with folk that I didn’t think he was good enough.
Then when Clement was sacked I genuinely heard SG was coming back and for some reason, I was genuinely wanting him to come back. Storm put a post on saying Daily record stating 49ers have spoken to Gerrard, and just from that post, I got really excited.
I don’t know what it is, but I really feel if Gerard came back and got the chance to be manager again the steps he took to have the bar raised with players being professional with the training regime (forget Beale). Players came because of Gerrard and played for Gerrard.
I’d personally be absolutely delighted if Gerrard came back as Rangers manager. I really think he would get us back to where we all want to be and with the new board backing him, who knows where he could take us?
I have seen posts, texts and social media messages from folk who genuinely always back the manager, but no one can get behind Russell Martin (RM). He was the wrong appointment, and given the start he’s had, he’s never ever going to turn it around.
Said a few times over the last couple of weeks, he’s out his depth, in over his head and is not capable to manage a club the size of ours and our expectations on and off the park. He’s not experienced enough and I don’t feel he ever will be.
SG has something about him that RM lacks, who can get players to play and get respect. RM can’t and won’t get that same level of respect, it’s just the way it is. SG is a huge name in football and always will be.
Out of all the potential managers named, all the German coaches and even Derrick McInnes could do a job better than RM. Go get SG. I want to see him back and saying, ‘LETS GO!’. Bring back the passion, bring back a level of professionalism that’s been lost in the players. Bring back the excitement, the joy and celebrations on fans faces when we won 55.
I was totally wrong first time round about SG. Bring him home to his beloved second team who gave him the chance to start his first team managerial career and where he won his first managerial league. SG, if you read our pages sort it out mate, get yourself back up here and get 56 in the bag!
