The Steven Gerrard Thread

@RedOverTheWater

It’s a strange one, as someone like Lampard has been allowed to have many more managerial failures. Stevie did well at Rangers and then fell a bit short at Villa.

If he wants it, I hope Stevie gets another role in management. In all likelihood it will be a step down to Championship level, and if he does well another Prem gig will come along.

It’s hard to know how much hunger and desire is there.

Another example is Scott Parker who is currently managing Burnley. They’re third with the best defensive record ever in the Championship but they are also abjectly hopeless in front of goal and Birnley fans are not happy with him at all.

Then you look at the fans opinions of him at all his previous clubs - Fulham, Bournemouth and Club Brugge - and they all hate him and think he is widly incompetant. Saw one journalist who went to a Brugge game and asked a fan about Parker - his response was “We do not say his name here”

Its weird how some people’s reputations are quickly damaged while others are allowed to just fail over and over again.

Hopefully he’ll soon find a club in the Championship, and bring his managerial career back on track.

Doesn’t need to.

He’ll pop up in a television studio.

Shudder. Loved watching him as a player, but when talking about the game he comes across as extremely miserable.

Luckily, he was a very cheerful, humble kind of player. Never pouted, sulked or politicked for his ego or his shite ideas, right?

But seriously he will have plenty of opportunities around the world. Whether Asia or Europe or even the USA, even if he has not a good track record as a manager, just having Gerrard in the club, a legend in modern football era, is a plus to alot of clubs

Those were his exact words when he was getting tossed out of Lounge Inn.

So weird. Not like it doesn’t happen outside of football too, and nothing to do with the abject state of journalism in the world today…

Carra talks absolute cobblers from time to time

He was just trying to say “gobshite” and the scouse accent requires a lot of…lubrication of the tongue and vocal cords
