Gerrard, much as I think he showed his true character in a bar with some Accrington Stanley players, has at least gone into coaching and does seem serious about management.

The treatment Murty received ought to be enough to give any serious candidate pause for thought.

The problem for Rangers at my distant remove seems to be that on top of the apparently incurable chaos behind the scenes, they simply need to recruit better players. Whilst I'm sure Gerrard's knowledge of top-level players in England will be good, as now may also be his knowledge of the youth scene, Rangers won't be recruiting big-money players, youth loans won't do it for them, and Gerrard may not know that much about players from the next tier in England who could step up. Equally there are bargains to be found on the continent, but as there are also complete planks, Gerrard would SERIOUSLY need to know what he was doing. Does he? However good his motivational and coaching skills I wonder if Steve Gerrard has the background to access more talent than Hibs, Aberdeen, Motherwell etc ......

If I were him I'd ask myself how many problems I really want in life.
