Worse than nothing, I’ll add. He was utterly lost at Villa and accomplished absolutely nothing at Al Ettifaq. It’s probably a bit extreme, but you can argue he’s won nothing without Neil Lennon and Terry Munro across the city. If this happens it will end worse than last time.
Who gives a shit about villa! They don't play in the SPL. He is head and shoulders above what we have had before and since him.
I don’t think you can just disregard his record since he left us - It only took Emery a few months to completely turn villa around. That doesn’t reflect well on Gerrard as an elite level coach
We aren't an elite lvl club, so there is no need for an elite lvl coach. Who can we afford that is elite?
I’m not going to argue about definitions of elite - But I think it’s odd to disregard the evidence that he has failed in every job since Rangers (and failed fairly hard in his first two years at Rangers too) He might be the best available candidate but i find it quite underwhelming if so
Villa is relevant because that is what he left us for - he failed massively at each of his two jobs since he left us. I think there is some revisionism about Gerrard - one trophy out of a possible 9, openly considering resigning as the COVID league stoppage approaches. 55 and unbeaten season are
2) are the best parts of a record that is decidedly mixed. We should be looking to someone to build the side and be here long term.
