Taz Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 Championship not a good fit for Gerrard Now I can't make my mind up (bearing in mind I'm shattered), whether Mr Know-It-All is saying Gerrard shouldn't lower himself to manage in the Championship, and that Rangers would be a better move, or whether he's saying it's such a tough league he'd get found out too quickly? Could just be that he's talking out of his ass again and doesn't know what he means...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 I kind of see where he's coming from, with Rangers he'll have a side who aren't relegation threatened (unless financial catastrophe strikes again...) and will be able to lay out the way he wants to play and have time. If he goes to a championship club there is immediately a higher level of pressure, a bad run and he's facing the chopping block and won't necessarily get the time to get the team playing the way he wants (something he gets as an U18's coach) the championship is a dangerous division to go to for a first time manager.

Xiled Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 Gerrard hasn't done enough to warrant managing Rangers let alone any team in the Championship. Coaching a U18 Liverpool team is not sufficient experience. And Lawrenson is a n*b whatever he meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC11 Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 Although I have a soft spot for Rangers they despite a good season by their standards are a basket case club, be a bad move for Gerrard imo, they need a complete overhaul and some serious investment which I don’t think will ever happen unfortunately.

Bellamy (who is a ******* on the touchline unsurprisingly) doing enough at Cardiff to get L1 interest, however I gather the impression Gerrard is definitely going about things the right way with Liverpool's 18's.

If it was some average unheard of bloke coaching Liverpool's U18s, would that person get a sniff at Rangers or a Championship team? I get that Gerrard will have contacts and probably be able to bring players to a club but I would rather see him get a L1 or L2 English team promoted to earn his stripes.

Agree with this 100%, it’s the way all managers should go, but it’s Rangers who’ve approached him and he’d be stupid not to think about it, whether they know his qualities as a manager that we don’t or they (which I think) are taking a massive gamble with SG who is a big name and hoping his contacts within the game can help attract better players to Ibrox, but the financial situation will hinder it, still think he may turn it down due to it.

redcityman Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Mark Lawrenson was probably the most uninterested and borish pundit to appear on ITVs' West Match, the guy just ain't interested unless it's Premier league or above. IMO his input on anything championship and below is about as valid as a skydivers opinion on the mating intricacies of a sea squirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying he's a great pundit, but he attends a fair few PNE games, so probably knows more about the Championship than many of his fellow 'experts'.

Olé Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Mark Lawrenson's whole act as a "football analyst" was established on HTV when in a typical moment of daydreaming he turned to Roger Malone at Ashton Gate (during a Bristol derby) and remarked of a in-swinging, curling, but ultimately overhit cross "He wants some of them Moroccan shoes Rog". For 25 years since we've had to put up with his same lame attempts at observational comedy, mixed occasionally with sporadic deviations into actual analysis. The bloke is in his own little world where he is king of the one-liners, no idea why he's still indulged time to do it. So many better analysts now.

That is an incredible naive comment. Trust me nobody managing Celtic or Rangers gets time. Second place is relegation for Rangers. If Stevie G takes over he will quickly realise he has simple objectives for the season - win the League Cup, then the League, then the Scottish Cup. Oh, do it without losing a game along the way or you will get pelters. To be fair the Old Firm do have budgets at least three times that of their nearest rivals Aberdeen, Hibs and Hearts so you can partly understand the expectation that they will be easily dispatched.

The Nest Egg Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 If you took Lawro's Prem score predictions as gospel, Liverpool would be on a 70-game unbeaten run spanning two seasons. The guy seemed to be going all doo-lally five years ago yet he's still employed? His random bursts of dry cynicism aren't even funny; they remind me of a tetchy uncle at Christmas getting angry because the children won't stop playing with their new toys and interrupting his lonely sherry-drinking times. It's time for the dinosaur to go extinct. Or at least get shuttled off to TalkSport where he can only talk to idiots and lonely reps in hotel rooms.

Firstly I am not sure how you seem adamant he has zero knowledge unless you are his pair of slippers, his brother or his morning cuppa tea that listens and understands everything going on in his brain. Secondly, the way i see it, he likely thinks the Championship is not a good fit for Gerrard because it is too hard for a first stint at managing and, in taking a job at Rangers, he should at least do reasonably well in a league with not a lot of quality. I tend to agree with him and I think you have misread him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
