These things are not cast in stone. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Also on Gerrard it could work or not but Scottish Premier League is not EPL.
For me the question of a coach manager is he a football thinker and greater man manager.
It seems in recent years people who succeed are midfielders and people whose careers were cut short or had minimal success but were students of the game (obsessed).
Midfielders, Pep, Rijkaard, Zidane, Ancelotti.
Students, Jose Mourinho, Nuno. Low, I know Flick was a player as well but also seems like a student learning as a assistant to the for long.
So Stevie is a midfielder and Pep Lijnders a student so I wont mind either.
Gerrard is a risk cause he is a legend but surely sometime in his life he should be given a chance. We are romantic club so an appointment like that fits us.
I think if Stevie earns legitimate success with Rangers in Scotland (beyond just winning the SPL; he needs to tack on a Europa League as well or get to the final, as well as maybe taking them far in the Champion's League), then he will have earned the legitimate right to get get a chance to manage us.
It wouldn't be like with Lampard at Chelsea or Arteta with the Arse, since he'll be coming from a position of actually WON something and not just managed.
Other than that, I'd be okay with Pep taking over.
(would also love it if either of them brought on Milly into their Coaching staff. He's a true servant of the club who should always be here regardless of who's managing)
