Funny when you think about it we've got fans for Steven Gerrard and fans against him.

Those against say it's appeasement by the board, and that he only won one trophy out of nine.
Fair points, to be fair.

But where are the American owners who were supposedly going to be "different" the ones who wouldn't bow down to fan pressure?

Now, I don't know if it will be Gerrard or not, but I'd like to think these owners have their own minds and the professional credentials to run the club the way it was sold to us all.

Surely, if it is Gerrard, then that's ultimately their decision their chosen candidate.
And if it fails, then it's their failure, not the fans.
The fans don't get to decide who's appointed manager.

Apparently there's a rigorous process in place when hiring someone. I highly doubt they're scrolling through fan forums thinking, "Well, the fans want this one, or They don't want that one. "

When the appointment is made, whoever it is, it will be their choice make no bones about that.

If it really is just about appeasing fans, then the "fairytale takeover" we were sold is a lie, and the current custodians aren't fit for purpose. The merry-go-round will just keep spinning.

Because if you believe that's the case, then the club is in a right mess with a board that can't make the hard decisions or stand up and be counted when it matters most.
