    Gary Mac going with him?
    Good choice for SG, Villa are one of only five (?) English clubs to have won the European cup/Champions League.

    It's a gamble for both Gerrard and Villa but for Gerrard it's a massive opportunity at one of England's biggest clubs and was obviously too good to turn down

    I thought Dean Smith had done a good job there and his sacking was premature. I think Villa are more than good enough to stay in the division but they must be realistic they sold their best player and have nobody else that quality

    Gerrad took the job a big club but not a massive club (no disrespect to Villa) instead of a rival to us. Because Gerrard has it in his head hes predestined to take the Liverpool Job when Klopp goes.
    Managing in Scotland with Rangers or Celtic means nothing..Rangers won 9 in a row then Celtic and now its back to Rangers.. Look at the managers who have won titles in Scotland.. Strachan Lennon and Rodgers.

    Dumb move at this stage of his career.

    Good luck to him, but I feel that’s the final mail in his managerial coffin if it goes tits up for him.

    Agree on the reasons for the Villa move.


    On Managers who won in Scotland...Rodgers is a decent enough manager, also no mention of Ferguson.

    Good managers are good managers. But even the best fail.

    A lot of success is down to circumstance.

    Rafa is a half a game of football away from having a single FA cup and certainly less of a legacy.

    Ferguson was even closer!

    You wouldn't want Ranieri as manager yet is a Premier League winning coach.

    Looking forward to seeing what Stevie can do.

    Fergie won when the Scottish League was far more competitive and their clubs could compete in Europe, with the mighty Aberdeen at that

    Indeed it was - but did he do as well in his first 3 years at United as Brendan has at Leicester City..?
