Dastardly and Muttley Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 If he’s on a shortlist with Hughton, Bowyer and Lowe, then that’s not a bad look. Hughton - experienced, knows how to get out of the league. Gerrard - big name, contacts. Bowyer - overachieved at a basket case club. Lowe - 2 successive promotions with different clubs. I don’t actually mind that as a shortlist for interview. See who comes out on top after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 As @Davefevswill be able to verify (though it's up to him if he wants to!) I told him on Thursday, three days ago, that Gerrard had expressed an interest in the City job so to me it is very interesting that this story has been leaked to the Express, that WE want him, and they are not unreliable when it comes to football coverage. As I expressed on another thread, he is my number 2 choice after Hughton and I'd be very happy with his appointment. Joining the dots, it sounds like a very real possibility. I for one, am excited!

You’d think Lowe would be the outsider. 6 minutes ago, Kid in the Riot said: As @Davefevswill be able to verify (though it's up to him if he wants to!)

warbie_118 Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Would be a class appointment. Hughton or Gerrard would show real intent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Wouldn’t be my choice but if he was appointed you certainly couldn’t say it was either a cheap option or low profile appointment. Would prefer Hughton out of those 4 but if he gets it (seeing as he would cost us in compensation & Hughton wouldn’t) it could only be because we thought he was the best man for the job.

yardy Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 My favourite non City player managing my favourite team, not sure if its a good thing or not. Would be great if he was successful here but if it was my choice i would pick Hughton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiderEyed Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 I'd be extremely excited by Gerrard. Not the sensible choice but would really lift me out of the Johnson-induced BCFC doldrums. 1 minute ago, Dastardly and Muttley said: I quite fancy it just to annoy all the Rangers fans who are laughing at the idea that “little Bristol City” might be able to poach their manager.

Big name and contacts? Hmm why not just get countless other big names. In fact get a big name who is foreign who might know big names In cheap market. Being a big name makes no difference when there's a decision to be made. Either the manager knows or doesn't know what to do. I’m not the one to sing a scousers praise at the best of times but being someone who follows the Gers, he’s taken them from being a misfit club who yes may have finished second to a genuine rival for Celtic and with a few different rubs of the green may have even won the title this season, with the budget he’s got and wage bracket he’s got as his disposal, he’d fit in nicely here because it’ll be bigger than he’s had before and he’s also taken his rangers side to the outside bet of a European cup quarter final. mid be willing to give him a shot personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly doesn’t look like someone who wants his managerial career handed to him on a plate. Initially went for a job at MKD, then a year with Liverpool Academy before 2 seasons at Rangers...not the easiest job with them so far behind Celtic at the time. I’d still like Hughton, but nobody could accuse us of lack of ambition if he did come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding why Gerrard would consider a move to City. What I said on Thursday: He wants to move south as he's realised Rangers are a busted flush and he can't compete with Celtic. Saw what Lampard did with Derby to get the Chelsea job and sees a similar route into the Prem with a club like City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a name like Sol Campbell. That's all I can really see in him being appointed. And I think being a name has very little benefit.

Clause in contract presumably, Rangers thinking only a big prem team would be able to persuade Gerrard to leave, willing to have the clause to attract him there in the first place.

I’m sure some people would get their hackles up at the ‘stepping stone’ scenario, but let’s be honest, a managerial job at any club outside the top 4 or 5 is a stepping stone - they’ll want to do well and attract a top job. Considering most managers only last a couple of years anyway, I’ve got no beef with that comment. I think Hughton is still my first choice, but I’d be incredibly excited by the Gerrard x-factor.
