Every manager appointment is a risk, the ones you think are great fail, and the ones you never want succeed. Who on here would have wanted Moyes last time out, now look at West Ham
Gerrard could be the next coming of Pep, or turn out like Frank at Chelsea, there are so many more factors involved than just his experience - players he purchase, injuries, etc etc.
if Carney is the next great thing, is there a better mentor than SG? I could see him starting regularly by the season end, and think all the great kids will now potentially get a fast track opportunity.
There are lots of reasons why it could be great, and also a chance it might not be, no doubt we will deal with or enjoy wherever it goes
