The infamous don't let this slip huddle says otherwise imo.JamesSeed said:I don’t know if he has the right sort of personality to be a successful manager. He always comes across as quite quiet, and a bit shy in interviews.
Absolutely, but who is the person to do that? Bare in mind who has turned them down.Ormiston Addick said:Crazy move for both him and Rangers, they need a slow, methodical rebuild from someone who has done it successfullly before - instead they take the easy option of a big name.

Well you clearly know something that the board haven’t told Gerrard during their 2-3 week negotiations, please enlighten us?Lordflashheart said:Take a look at the Rangers forums - they are wetting themselves with excitement over his appointment - I may be wrong, however I can't see this going well - the gulf in class between them and Celtic at the weekend was enormous - and as I understand matters, Rangers haven't exactly got a bottomless pit of money to buy new players with - he may be a big name, however players won't go and play for him in Scottish football just because of that - they will want their ££££££'s as well
Gerrard, his agent & Mcallister would have wanted cast iron guarantees regards investment before signing on the dotted line no doubt. So, unless they’ve been lied too, I’ll trust Gerard’s judgement.
In regards to the gulf in class, accepted, but that’s why they brought him in, to start trying to bridge that gulf, it wont happen next season, but they have to start somewhere, damned if they do, damned if they don’t, if they had brought in Karl Robinson, people would be shouting no ambition or small time etc
The Nigel’s could appoint Zidane, Geaudiola(sic) or Mourinho and flood the place with cash, I would give 0 f****, unless they started winning the premier league season after season, I think one doth protesteth too much0 -
The Rangers board thought that Gerrard was ideal for the job as he has history of preventing Brendan Rogers winning league titles.24

I'm better qualified then as I have my width, length, 100 and 220 yards and an elementary survival certificate.

Ah - well that makes it a brilliant decision then, I stand corrected...Friend Or Defoe said:
A name as big as his isn't going to start in the lower leagues. It's nice to see the Ranger's fans happy if nothing else. Apparently he supported them (and Everton) when he was younger.Algarveaddick said:Joking aside, I would have preferred to see him work his way up.

@Chippycafc can you explain the flag please?
Yours was for the unnecessary sectarian comment, that you made. I didn't initially flag it but stated it was unnecessary to which you gave a 'lol'.

Ok, Well done. The difference being one was sectarian, the other wasn't.
What makes you so bigoted?7 -

Exactly this. Pretty obvious Gerrard will have been given some guarantees about signings, the guy isn't going to go there and be made a mug of.DA9 said:

For all we know he's also had a chat with Klopp about getting Liverpool fringe players on loan. Maybe guys like Solanke, Flanagan, Ings etc who could all do a job up there. Also seen that Skrtel and Torres might go there, so just him signing as manager has already raised the bar in terms of who they can attract.
It's clear as night follows day that Celtic are still miles ahead, but i'd bet the gap between them by the end of next season is down to single points.2 -

Pretty sure Gerrard refers to this in his biography.0

Most likely. The point being, that John Kinsella (the underworld enforcer who saved Gerrard from a psycho thug), was shot dead yesterday morning.DOC64 said:Pretty sure Gerrard refers to this in his biography.

I reckon I could manage Rangers to second in that league!golfaddick said:Madness if he becomes their new manager. No experience & no groundwork at a lower level. Just because he was a good player doesn't make him a good manager - just look at Bobby Charlton.

I am also a Catholic, commenting on a Charlton forum about Steven Gerrard becoming manager of a football club. There was absolutely no need to bring sectarianism into the debate, but you just had to do it.
I live in Scotland and have links to both Celtic and Rangers. They are both fantastic institutions often let down badly by sectarian elements of the fan base. As stated, this is a Charlton forum. The debate is about Steven Gerrard. There was no need for your initial comment about 'Huns' nor this latest one.14 -

Losing to Aberdeen 1-0
Could miss out on Europa League which 2 and 3rd place get.
2-Aberdeen 72 points from 37 games
3-Rangers 68 points from 37 games
4-Hibernian 66 points from 36 games
Hibernian play Hearts away then Rangers at home0 -

Barring a miracle, Rangers can't be caught by Hibernian now. I imagine Gerrard will be looking forward to European football0
