Just saw an online report saying they'd "approached" him. I'd expect Slippy G to have a bit more ambition than The Sty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I can't imagine a Rangers manager ever wanting to leave them to join small heath or any other team likely to be lower to midtable championship at best. I bet he wouldn't come cheap either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 There's an article on the Birmingham mail website talking about the Gerrard link and the ambition of their owners, basically saying that because Lampard went to Derby, Arteta to Arsenal, Solskjær to Man Utd, and Bielsa went to Leeds, appointments that they descrbe as 'unlikely marriages', that no one should be surprised if they were to land a big name manager. They also mention Sol Campbell going to Macclesfield, but bit of a difference between them and most of those teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Part of me was wondering if all that talk of ex players being given posts is an attempt to warm their fans to the idea of Craig Gardner being given the job, they can say we tried to get Gerrard but Gardner can be our version of him. Seems to be a trend at the moment, Lampard at Chelsea, Woodgate at Middlesbrough, Arteta and Arsenal, and Solskjær at Man Utd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Kappa pay us to make our kits Blues pay nike to make their kits I should be at that age where I've grown out of buying them anyway but I still play so I still do, I agree kappa aren't good (training gear is though) but as long as they pay the bills it doesn't matter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"More glamorous" than small time alliance ? Jeez, even wealdstone would be more appealing, given their passionate fanbase: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) Last week Robbie Fowler was made the favorite for their job, don't know if there's any connection but today he quit as manager of Brisbane Roar, and I think he's been made favorite for the small heath job again. If it's true that they tried for Gerrard then it wouldn't be all that surprising. Edited June 29, 2020 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
