Let's hope it's not Gerrard - disaster written all over it.
30 Apr 2025 12:04:37
And why is that?
30 Apr 2025 12:14:49
Why? Inherited Pedro's mess and found a way to beat Celtic consistently. Apparently was let down by the club re broken promises. Made mistakes, yes, but still a great draw re attracting players. I'll be right behind him, or whoever gets the gig, no doubt about that.
30 Apr 2025 12:37:52
I 100% agree with you.
Why is that because he had a record of one in nine and he was gifted a treble that he made an arse of in our unbeaten season (league only) this is also a fact and people can say Tim talk all they want as it's still a fact St Johnston won more trophies in SG time at Rangers.
30 Apr 2025 12:39:21
I regard SG's tenure as a successful one.
But I don't think bringing him back would be a wise move. If it starts poorly fan base will pile pressure on very quickly which I think is the last thing a new manager would need.
Better to start fresh with a clean slate and look forwards rather than backwards to a period of very little success.
30 Apr 2025 12:44:56
I certainly don't want SG back.
My view on him is he's pretty limited as a head coach and I think we can do much better.
I can see the positives of his last spell as well as the negatives, so see him as neither hero or villain.
Just feels a bit 'blah'.
30 Apr 2025 12:53:29
I'm in the not for me camp?.
30 Apr 2025 12:55:37
I would not be in favor of SG, not because of anything personal, but I believe there are better coaches out there that can drive the club and team forward. SG was good for the club (at that time), but as the club opens up a new era I think maybe it's time a new coaching set up matches that.
30 Apr 2025 12:56:41
One simple fact storm is we won the league undefeated.
30 Apr 2025 13:10:30
To be honest, COVID saved SG as I think he would have been away. The knives were out when we lost to Hamilton at Ibrox in the 19/20 season.
30 Apr 2025 13:17:32
So, a question for Stormtrooper. Would you rather have won two cups like St Johnstone OR the league title?
30 Apr 2025 13:18:22
I get what you mean EHL but if he didn't win that league they could have had 10 and still be going. For that would certainly consider him a hero as well all did that season. Do i want him back no but i'm glad he arrived when he did.
30 Apr 2025 13:22:22
I don't mind if it's gerrard I will back him. I was wondering though if he does come back if he will keep on mcgregor as GK coach or bring colin stewart back.
30 Apr 2025 13:26:27
Storm it is a fact that st Johnstone won more trophies, but as a Rangers fan that title was more important to me than winning 2 daft cups, in fact I'd go as far as to say that one title was one of the most important in our history imo. The significance of that one title dwarfs even 6 cups. That's why I'll be eternally grateful.
30 Apr 2025 13:51:08
Same as me Fork, but i can't believe some of the stuff I've read on here lately, having Gerrard as Rangers manager will stop a few from being interested in Rangers, scary scary stuff man.
30 Apr 2025 14:00:07
People go on about SG only winning 1 in 9 but I'd take stopping them getting ten and giving us an invincible season over winning 3 cups and 3 league cups but failing to win the league.
30 Apr 2025 14:23:15
I said I maybe won't watch games until he is gone as I can't back Stevie G and I would need to see how I feel if it actually happens which I don't think it will as 49ers aren't stupid to me that would be a stupid appointment when it would split the fans.
my star and he wasn't unbeaten in the cups the treble was handed to him on a plate and he failed.
St Johnstone won more trophies than him let that sink in.
30 Apr 2025 14:24:03
Wsl I still always want to win the league but it doesn't get away from the fact they won more than SG did in his time. St Johnstone ?.
30 Apr 2025 14:26:04
Bb4 I have always said I am grateful for SG winning the league and always will be but that's where it stops mate.
A league title can be worth 20 cups if you want. It's still 1 at the end of the day I also agree it was very important.
30 Apr 2025 14:40:28
Undefeated in league think you know what i was meaning storm, stormed the league easily that season, but let's blame it on Celtic after winning the league with 25 points.
30 Apr 2025 14:41:19
I've stated I'm not all for Gerrard would rather one of the young Germans mentioned. If it is Gerrard obviously I'll be 100% behind him.
I'm going to try stay out this debate of wether he was successful or not. It's becoming like the shankland talk, every day going over the same stuff. We all obviously have strong views around it and ain't gona change each other's minds so.
30 Apr 2025 14:52:54
Gerrard i liked/ rated in his first spell especially with the absolute mess he inherited but wouldn't be my own personal choice to become our manager again, so now that's out the way i'll add this. If steven gerrard is appointed our new manager then ?% i'll be backing him whether he was my choice or not ? I have a lot of time for gerrard and i now honestly do think there's a very realistic chance that he might well be our next Rangers manager and some on here that's coming away with wild statements on the chance he does get it, needs to wake up, because it could well be the case and all our supporters have to get behind him as i'm sure practically all of them will ?.
30 Apr 2025 14:53:41
It's a new start and clean slate - not going back to what we had before.
Lets not forget 1 trophy out of a possible 9.
Gio and Clement won trophies sooner.
Gerrard has not had any success since leaving us.
Tactically and/ or from a coaching perspective, he couldn't bring back his old management team either. Beale would not be welcome.
Why would Steinsson be travelling around Europe to meet potential managers if he was to end up with Gerrard?
I think we need to look at the 49ers and Red Bull approach across other teams. Nothing suggests Gerrard is a likely option.
30 Apr 2025 15:24:56
I will be forever grateful for that league title but I always saw him as the figurehead and the management and coaching were done by those in the background. might be a bit harsh. I am not for him only because I always think you shouldn't go back
however no matter who the new manager is let's be honest if the start of the season doesn't go well then they will get it hard anyway. no patience.
30 Apr 2025 15:30:55
" I maybe won't watch games until StevieG is gone"
Not a good Statement Storm and I will continue to pay my cash no matter who is in charge!
30 Apr 2025 17:37:33
Yately, that is up to you, that's my feelings on it right at this time am I not going to lie just to go with the flow.
30 Apr 2025 21:52:14
So will I Yately. Stunned by that statement tbh.
