Ferguson wasn't unproven. Gerrard is. There seems to be an assumption that Gerrard will become a great manager if he's just given time and a bit more money. There was a track record with Ferguson and proven success elsewhere. Gerrard is an absolute punt. He's a gamble with no form other than with Rangers.
mate I get the experience and being proven but I still maintain if you interview a guy and genuinely believe he has the right credentials you have to stick with them. I don’t want us to be like Leeds Utd for example and constantly change managers when it’s not going right.
we are not in a position where we can buy a winning team like we did when Advocaat came in, we are not quite in the position where Walter was with a mature team that he could just add quality too every year.
I will point out again thus is the first season we are a normal club again with our focus being football related again and not off field problems with merchandise or unscrupulous shareholders.
maybe it just goes back to instinct and preference on Gerrard, personally I think he has the makings of a very good manager and the club gave given him the back room tools to achieve that, we have let ourselves down on the pitch at times and I’d put that down to the standard of player we had open to us. We gave improved but we need that wee bit more quality in the spine of our team in guys at the prime of their careers not raw talent or older pros who will shine now and again.
