He has been here for three and a half years, put Rangers millions of pounds further into debt and has one trophy, albeit the one that he had to win, to show for it. One trophy. Do Rangers fans on here truly see him as a success simply because he stopped the ten-in-a-row. Ignoring Europe, he has competed for nine Scottish trophies and been successful once. Nonsense. He won 55 trophies last year. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gudge1903 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Wasn't a good time for the accounts to come out....Club in richest league in world or a phoenix of a recently deceased club gambling with its future? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 A shame that Eddie Howe went to Newcastle, could have went for maximum hubris if Gerrard leaves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I’m not saying Gerrard to Villa won’t happen, but worth remembering that it’s the international break and the Scottish media have absolutely heehaw interest in talking about the national side if they can avoid it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gudge1903 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 The big gamble is this year...if they don't get their "double six" again then it's a club with huge financial liabilities beyond their means... Sure I've seen a similar movie around 2012... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a few weirdo takes like this today. Some folk claiming the media have completely made the story up to unsettle Rangers as they're on the verge of running away with the title again. Seems to be reported widely down South that Gerrard has asked to leave and has already agreed terms with Villa, and its not just down to Rangers accepting hes away or not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlipperyP Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 £2m compensation and clause in the contract that he has to buy Kent for no less than £12m in the Jan transfer window. No more talk about losses.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlandmagar Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) If Gerrard is to be offered the Villa job and he rejects it, he would be off his chump. A Premiership club( even if it is over inflated) a stepping stone to his beloved Liverpool. I think he can get Villa consistently top 10 and pushing for Europe. As for his replacement, there is only one man in Scottish football. That staunch sash wearing Irish proddie Tommy Wright. He can display his sash in the dug out on match day.

Orbix Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 The £2m fee is apparently from Gerrard’s original contract, and not from the extension. Which would make sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJF Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 SSN this morning reporting that Villa are yet to identify the preferred candidate to replace Smith. Sounds like they've likely sounded out Gerrard and possibly a few others if that is to be the case. May be complete bollocks right enough and he is making plans to move down south as we speak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orbix Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I’m still 80/20 in favour of him actually staying, and the reporting on an approach automatically equalling him standing with a Villa scarf being a byproduct of English football-media arrogance. would rather it was 100/0 but f**k all you can do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
