mozo Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 I always analyse the messaging and interests me that the club would be happy for rejection to be made public. Is that because they want to show the fans that they tried? Or was it being leaked from Gerrard's side as a symbol of his loyalty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you roll with the punches and move onto your next target. Steve Lansdowns Number 1 target....is a lot different to Bristol City supporters Number 1 target. I am relieved he has turned us down.

spudski Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 I'm glad if it's true. Who wants to be known as Steven Gerrard's Bristol City for starters... Joking aside... finding a coach/manager that will agree to fit in with our set up will be a hard task after LJ. From an owner's point of view it was the perfect scenario. I feel the goal posts may have to move towards what the manager wants a little, to get what's going to move us forward. If Gerrard turned us down..was it because we are BCFC, or because of our conditions? Or did we turn him down as found not to our liking after interview...if he did. Any coach coming in will have his way of working. Will that coincide with working with MA and our present coaching staff? Will we want to keep what we've got in place? Will a new manager want his own staff? I think these questions are what will decide who comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WayOutWest Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 I don't think you can fault the board for identifying their number 1 choice and go for broke to get him. It had to be someone, and if SG fitted the bill, so be it. If anything I say fair play. He was a big target and we will never know how close we actually came. Draw a line under it and move on. Like I have said in previous posts, this job actually should be on radars of managers 2 or 3 years ago were out of our reach. As far as wages are concerned, if we can agree a punt on player will probably cost $1-2 million then spending this on a managers wages, should not be off putting. With a transfer window looming, I would imagine that MA has already identified the players he wants and the players he will move on. Another assumption is that the new man will probably have to fall in line with those decisions, the longer this goes on the more relevant this statement will become. Its a process and very complex one at that. Hold on to your hats I say, this is far from over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts exactly. It’s Gray, Gayle and Nketiah all over again. Faffing about chasing unrealistic targets who show no signs of wanting to come here rather than focusing on realistic and sensible options.

I wouldn't say it was bizarre, its more of statement of A) How far we have come as club. B) Nails on the superiority of the Championship over the SPL. SG has demonstrated his loyalty throughout his career, I didn't think he would leave Rangers for us, he wants to see the job through. Far enough. I don't have a problem with the club trying to get the man that might be out of their reach, rather someone who would say yes straight away.

SouthStand Sandwich Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 It's easy... Too much of a risk to Gerard if he fails in a championship club compared to the relative east of a 2team league.... Anything that ruins his path to Liverpool...
