[article]Steven Gerrard was made odds-on favourite to become the next Rangers manager after Ibrox chairman Dave King was spotted at Liverpool’s Champions League semi-final against Roma.

Liverpool great Gerrard is now an academy coach at Anfield and was priced at 8-11 by William Hill to take over at Rangers.

BetVictor had him at 4-7 while Skybet’s odds were 8-15 on Gerrard being Rangers manager for the first league game of next season.

King was seen at Anfield during BT Sport’s coverage of Liverpool’s 5-2 win celebrating close to Kenny Dalglish when Mo Salah scored his second goal.

Graeme Murty is in charge of the Ibrox club until the ends of the season but is not expected to land the job on a permanent basis.

Gerrard, 37, who made over 500 appearances for Liverpool in a storied career, was appointed youth coach at Anfield in February last year. He has no management experience.[/article]
 
It would be a terrible move for him. Celtic, I could understand. He should stick to what he’s learning now and gradually move up the ranks at Liverpool.
 
I don't like this.

BUT ... at some stage, if he wants to be a future Liverpool manager, don't you think he needs to go and manage another lesser team for a bit? Or is it good enough just to come up via the boot room path?

Not saying he should go join the huns now, like
 
Perhaps he holds Brendan in such contempt, that he is prepared to sacrifice himself just for the opportunity to break him.
 
Its a bit to early maybe though? Why not continue were he is, learn from Klopp and then maybe step up to take the U-23s before joining another team.
 
I think it is better to go the Klopp school for some time and continue what he has built when he leaves in 30 odd years.
 
Obviously he's not going to win the league with them, but is Rangers such a bad place to try learn to become a manager?
 
I'd imagine his primary concern would be his commute from his actual job to the BT Sport Studio:graham:

The fact he’ll never win the league, and Rangers remains one of the big two clubs there, he’ll get shit loads of criticism while there no matter what. On a hiding to nothing.

Yes.

In the same way JJ says we should never buy an Italian, as experience shows us they never work out, even without a logical explanation; so we should never have future LFC managers cut their teeth at Rangers
 
He's had EIGHT months' experience managing the kids. He's hardly ready for a senior team. Unless he's completely contradicted his own comments about wanting to learn the job properly, he's got a good two years or more before he should even be daydreaming about managing another club. And even at that stage it should be a lower league club, not the lunatic asylum that Rangers is.

I think he will not jump to the first serious suitor at this stage. Relax and learn from Klopp. Also learn from Gary Neville. If you just take a job without other thoughts than you admire yourself, it seldom works out well.

Then again there is this possibility to take a step up from kids and be involved at a higher level. I can ser why it is tempting. Rangers maybe presenting him with good prospects and ideas and he will be able to test himself making decisions on a higher level.
 
He would be crazy to take the Rangers job.

The clubs a complete mess, no money, the board is a shambles, the players are shite. Stay away Stevie.
 
If he does he's dead to me.

He's already dead to me so it doesn't matter on my account, and he doesn't care what I think so it doesn't matter on his.

Even so.
 
Secondary question

Would we be happy with a ton of our kids following him on loan to rangers? Might be a good setup in some ways (caveat - I haven't seen a ball kicked in Scotland for years)

Speaking of Rossiter, and I bet @gkmacca knows the answer to this, why did Leonard not have a scouse accent? Coached out of him?
And Peter Sissons?

Right about Leonard. He was always destined for comedy, as he had a trial for Everton, but once he got serious about acting he went to a well-known local elocution teacher called Mrs Ackerley. A typical Evertonian, he could have started a fight in an empty room, and was so obsessed with playing squash that he once insisted on taking his milkman on holiday with his family, because the milkman was a local champion and Len wanted to play him three times a day. He was also so argumentative, the TV producer David Croft once welcomed him to TV Centre to offer him a role in a sitcom, and in the time it took them to go up in the lift from the ground floor to the fourth floor he'd managed to irritate Croft so much he'd talked himself out of the part.

Sissons was a middle class grammar school boy who never really had a Scouse accent but he just got posher as he worked for ITN.
 
I can't see him taking this unless he some guarantees of investment and perhaps with the support of the Liverpool hierarchy.
