B) Steven Gerard, we’ve seen him on the telly and no way would a famous ex player like him come to us , or would he ? How often in modern times has a rumour of this sort been just completely ridiculous and laughed off . Well this time we are a credible proposition for people of this calibre ; just watch us screw it up . I’m sure there are many who share your fears Major. We may be short on success at this club, but we’ve got a rich history of ballsing things up. If there’s any club who can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, you can rely on us to find a way. Come on Stevie L, please, pleeeeeease prove me wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolded1987 Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 Is this really going to happen ? Its gaining pace very quickly, and we all know there is no smoke without fire. I really thought it would be hughton, but if it was going to be I’m sure it would have already happened due to him being available .

BRISTOL86 Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 I can’t help but think if we chose Gerrard over Hughton - assuming we have the luxury of choice - it’s a vanity move akin to David James.... Whilst I do think it’d be a statement of intent, and probably good PR for the club to have a ‘name’ like Gerrard, but my choice would be the guy who’s been here and done exactly what the last manager was sacked for not being able to do, rather than someone who has yet to prove whether he can do anything.

Joe Jordan, Russell Osman, Terry Cooper and Steve Coppell were all household names. But at what cost and under what conditions would Gerrard come here. Who gets the veto on him signing Ryan Kent. I get what you mean, but I wouldn’t say Osman and Cooper were household names - and I’m not sure Coppell was either ... Jordan, possibly due to his outstanding World Cup exploits from 1974 to 1982 ... however I think ‘high profile’ is a more accurate description of those guys rather than ‘household names’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughton is now 61 and I'm not sure that he fits the profile of the club - I'd have him here no problem but I think they will be looking for a younger head coach akin to LJ to carry on the "project." Whether that is Gerrard, who knows (although the rumours are gaining a bit of traction after Gerrards reps reportedly said he's not not interested in the Birmingham job but hasn't dismissed the City job). I'm convinced that they'll be looking for a younger bloke than Hughton and it has to be said that Gerrard has two years at Rangers with a shed load of high level contacts. Say what you like about Scottish football but Rangers are a big UK club and in European competitions and that experience is very relevant. He's a credible candidate for the job imo and would raise the profile of the club. I'd be happy with Hughton, very happy, but I can see that Gerrard is a very attractive alternative for the club. If we have that sort of choice, we are in a good place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Oil Services Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 I believe what will happen is that we will appoint Swindon's Wellens, or Plymouth's ..... the bloke at Plymouth, at some point this week; win all our remaining fixtures; unbelievably finish 6th; scrape through on penalties to the final; beat Brentford in the final with ten men (after Bakes is sent off for breaking Ollie Watkins legs in a no-holds-barred assault on the halfway line); and find ourselves in the blinkin' Premier League/promised land with Richie bloody Wellens of Swidnon in charge (or the bloke at Plymouth).
