Personally I think its a great move for him. He'll be given a couple of seasons to build a side (which he wouldn't get in England) and should cement 2nd easily with the addition of a couple of good signings (his connections).

Rangers will benefit from his presence and players will respect him.

Think its a very clever move...if he has the ability to manage.

Same thing was said with John Barnes remember?
Similar with souness but he played and invisible money helped him

Why would they respect him exactly, not like every player with a decent pedigree has went on to be a successful manager ?

Do you really need me to answer that?

Barnes was never a captain and not well known as a leadership figurehead of the cult though.

The figurehead was Dogleash iirc and the excitement from the green half and media was similar
I was at his first game at Pittodrie and the media scramble was mad

I've been to Ibrox a few times. Reminds me of Goodison Park, but bigger and tidier. And with it's fair share of moaning bastards. The difference though, is that, there is way more of them moaning gits, and they moan their ass off when the team is winning. Makes for a cracking atmosphere mind.

Man Utd fans come with an arrogance of winning 20 league titles, Rangers fans come with an arrogance of winning 54.

They will not expect anything less than 2nd place and rightly so. After-all, they fill their 50,000 seater ground week in week out. So I wouldn't hold my breath with Steven Gerrard being given "time".

Hibs and Aberdeen are no pushovers. With two decent managers. It's certainly not going to be easy. Added to the very thought of Celtic going 10x title wins. He'll need to start winning, and quick.

It will also be interesting to see just how much transfer funds he'll get.
 
It’s a massive job (overtaking Celtic) even for an experienced manager, let alone a novice. It must have been sobering watch Celtic take rangers apart last week.
If I was Gerrard, I would maybe have waited till the playoffs finished in the championship, as I’m sure Bruce won’t stay on if villa don’t go up. Villa would have been a far more attractive proposition than rangers imo.
 
Hmm i just found out that Dave King is a kopite.So that explains this appointment.

King – a self-confessed Liverpool fan – does get a kick out of seeing an Anfield great being unveiled in the Blue Room.

He said: “The impetus was through Mark. He just checked with me if in principle I was happy with a manager who hadn’t managed before but the fact it was Steven Gerrard made that very easy for me.

“Being a Liverpool supporter, of course, I guess I feel I know him better than other players having followed his career. I think I have a better sense of the character of the man having watched him and seen his highs and lows throughout his career.

“I immediately said to Mark, ‘If there is a possibility then go and pursue it.’”

Gerrard jumped at the chance to take his make his first leap in to management a big one. Everyone and their granny has branded the move a gamble from both parties but King doesn’t see it
that way.

He said: “If you look at the deliberations we had around managers there are a lot of boxes that one tries to tick and no one ticks all of the boxes.

“When Mark first said to me what about Steven Gerrard as a potential manager, my first thought was clearly that he hadn’t managed before.

“Competitive ability, a winner, knows what it takes to win – so he was ticking all the boxes other than experience.

“Having said that – and I mean no disrespect – if I looked at all of the other names that were being put forward over the last couple of months, they had experience but a lot of that experience wasn’t necessarily good.

“The reason they were available was because their previous clubs felt they weren’t performing well. I was very happy to get someone of Steven’s ability and character and felt that outweighed the inexperience.

“In fact, in this specific instance I don’t necessarily think that inexperience will work against him. There are some advantages to him coming in clean and being able to stamp is own managerial style on the club. So I see positives rather than negatives on that point.”

I've came across a couple of odd ones in my time so nothing surprises me with football teams people support.

There's a fella who i used to live near who was big into the orange order but also a celtic fanatic and there was a guy from Dublin I went to uni with who was a massive Rangers fan. I still can't quite fathom either.
 
Gerrard will be hounded out of ibrox inside about 6 months would be my guess because all old firm fans are completely delusional and think their teams should be challenging for the champions league.

2nd will never be good enough for Rangers.

Give it three games until the Zombies start calling him a "Fenian so and so."

Zombies are fictional, Paedophiles are real.

Why would they call him a "Fenian" ? he is not in the IRA and he doesn't sing songs glorifying the bombing and murder of innocent men, women and children
