You did bring it up soooo, if only they were never built in Speke, launched the convertible same time as the roadster and factory produced the TR7 Sprint (16v). Oh well.

Happy days. Anyway, Gerrard is a pipe dream Steve - move on. There is no way that He is leaving Rangers except for a PL job as a steppingstone to Liverpool. Ryan Lowe will get the job.

Hueton didn't play for Liverpool but I do agree he will inspire also. I just think Stevie G will inspire the team more. He's a winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a millionaire many times over from his playing days where he would have been on £150 - 200k for the best part of 10 years so the difference in pay as a manager between us and Rangers is not really as lucrative as it would be to a young up and coming manager, I would think his motivation would be "the project" and the resources we are willing to commit to allow him to achieve a promotion.

This!! And a stepping stone to Liverpool. Way I see it long term that’s the job he wants. That’s 3/4 maybe even 5 years away.

I said back on about page 4 that this ain’t a cheap option. But journo’s have thrown around a £50k per week salary with no evidence. I’m led to believe he’s closer to £1m per year with up to £2.5m as incentives (win cup, euro progression etc). So the journo’s who are now throwing around “City to pay more than Rangers” are basing this on a £50k pw wage, not the £20k pw which is closer to his actual basic. For context, Hughton, I’d heard, was looking for £1.2m (£23k pw). I’d guess SL would be willing to pay a bit more for a younger man more ‘suited’ to his project, but there’s absolutely no way in the world he’s offering £50k basic. It’s lazy journo’s making a salary comparison out of other lazy journo’s who’d previously reported his rangers wage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here’s a thought - which I have no doubt also entered Gerrards mind. Around 30 years ago, a legendary ex Liverpool midfielder took over the club when they were undoubtedly one of the best sides in the top flight, and had won the title as recently as the prior season. That ex midfielder had proven his worth at Rangers with multiple trophy wins. It was a disaster. And ended by us. The parallels between Gerrard and Souness are there currently. Gerrard knows this. He knows Liverpool’s history. And that’s why being with Rangers alone will be reason not to appoint him at Liverpool. The last manager to do it knew Liverpool and had won big at Rangers - Gerrard can’t do the latter to the same extent with Celtics strength. He needs another job before Klopp goes (slated as 2024 per contract IIRC). So he will move - either this summer or next - to try and facilitate his endgame. His only question is whether there will be a better bet than us in 12 months time. I can though, the more I think about it and his ultimate aim, see why he’s not blown us out.

Dynamite Red Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 The more I weigh this up the more crazy this sounds. For me go and get Hughton, he won't cost as much in wages and compensation, he has the experience of getting teams up and keeping them there, Gerrard has achieved nothing yet as a manager. Hughton seemingly wants the job and will progress this team. Gerrard does bring razzmatazz but also media focus, good and bad, if he has any success here he will be off in a flash. Gerrard is a far riskier choice with less benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Klopp's contract runs til 2024 but I think if he wins another Premier League or Champions League before then he may walk and take the sabbatical he wanted before taking the Liverpool job. He's already won the 2 biggest prizes for Liverpool, backing them up just cements his legacy. Could easily see Lijnders take over after him trying to keep the same style about the club.
