I really don’t know why people are getting worked up by this.
Its a nothing article in a shitty tabloid.

Thats why you're managing part timers Barry. Scouting and analysis isn't just asking your pal what he thinks. There's a professional process in place.
It doesn’t make any sense to me eitherWhy would Gerrard ask advice from a manager who just failed to qualify against the same team.
Watched an interview with (I think) Gary Neville and spoke highly of him.Not sure if he regards him a bellend or not but did complement his football managing abilities.I'm sure Gerrard thinks he's a bell end
Agreed. Reminds me of a poem I read. You’d think it’s pro Celtic until the last line."The Northern Irishman said: “Steven and Rangers won’t need my help on it." This reply tells me that he doesn't wish to help us and I for one don't wish his help so I'm sorry Barry. It's a no for me!

Yup I'd be surprised if he didn't pick up the phone for a quick chat.Has he forgot he was Gerrard’s manager at Liverpool?
No reason?Yasss, an excuse for everyone to abuse Barry Ferguson for no reason.
?take your point,as much as I loved and admired wee Barry,he should think before he opens his brain sometimes, have rice yogi or dalglish offered any views on asking Rodgers for advice,we are still in europe Leicester are out,didn't barry say he couldn't see Ceptic dropping any more points weeks ago ,or was that a myth or mis-quote?This thread will be another shining example of a Rangers legend taking a tanking rightly or wrongly whilst the likes of Brian Rice, “Yogi”, and Dalglish get their cocks sucked on similar threads relating to their opinions
I'm still half cut, but I just played that out complete with accents. Buckled.SG- Hello Brendan
BR-Hi Steven
SG- 55 is coming
BR-...hangs up
The Leicester City boss insists Gerrard won't need any counsel from him but Barry Ferguson reckons it's the smart thing to do ahead of a Europa League clash with Foxes conquerors Slavia Prague.
Barry Ferguson reckons Steven Gerrard should ask Brendan Rodgers to help him plot the downfall of Slavia Prague after Rangers were drawn against them in the Europa League last 16.
But the Leicester boss insists Gerrard won’t need any help from him.
The champions-elect were paired with the Czech league leaders in yesterday’s draw in Nyon after they sent Rodgers’ high-flying Foxes crashing out of the competition.
Ferguson believes Rodgers could be a vital source of information for Gerrard on next month’s opponents as they look to move a step closer to the final in Gdansk.
The Record Sport columnist – who led the Light Blues to their last Euro final in the 2008 UEFA Cup – said: “I’m sure Steven Gerrard would pick up the phone to Brendan Rodgers to get his opinion on Slavia Prague.
It would certainly cross my mind if I knew someone who could maybe help me.
“Rangers would have had a dossier on Slavia Prague within 10 minutes of the draw being made and they’ll gather more information in the coming days. But I don’t think Steven would think twice about asking Brendan.
“Forget the fact he’s an ex-Celtic manager, the pair of them worked together at Liverpool and these things happen all the time in football.
“It’s not as if he is the Celtic manager just now. And British bosses would all try to help each other, so there will be a bit of communication I’m sure.
Slavia Prague knocked Leicester out and they’re flying high in the Premier League, so they clearly won’t be last-16 pushovers.
“However, when I was looking at the teams in the hat, Slavia Prague and Molde were probably the two that jumped out as being a favourable draw.
“But that’s not to dismiss them. In a sense, these games can be more dangerous because if you draw one of the big guns, then there’s no chance of complacency. Yes, it’s a good draw but you can’t be overconfident.
“We’re in the last 16 of the Europa League, so Rangers will have to show them the same respect as if they’d come out the hat with Manchester United.
“The win over Leicester is all they need to warn them of their quality but let’s not forget a lot of teams would have wanted to avoid Rangers.”
Rodgers, though, reckons that Gerrard will be able to mastermind a victory all by himself.
The Northern Irishman said: “Steven and Rangers won’t need my help on it.
They will have seen the game and have enough analysts who will see how Slavia Prague have done over the season and Thursday night’s game.
“I wouldn’t be expecting a call from him.
“They won’t need my help, that’s for sure.”
Rodgers was kicking himself at what might have been as he missed out on a return to Ibrox, Jindrich Trpisovsky’s side beating his City outfit 2-0.
He said: “I would have loved to have gone back
to Glasgow. It’s a great city and I’m sure it would have been a great game.”
Ferguson is confident Rangers will be able to put the finishing touches to their title bid as well as progress in Europe.
The former skipper and his team-mates had to contend with a fixture pile-up when they went all the way to the showpiece.
He said: “When we got to the Final in 2008 we had fixtures coming thick and fast as we were going for four competitions.
“When you’re playing Thursday-Sunday-Thursday it’s tough – physically and mentally – and a lot of people probably don’t realise that.
“But Rangers don’t have that problem just now.
“We still don’t know what’s happening with the Scottish Cup and they won’t take their eye off the ball in the league. But if that’s sealed in the coming weeks, it will allow them to put everything into the Europa League.
“If they get through against Slavia Prague, the quarter-finals are in April.
“If the title is in the bag by then, they can put everything into that.
“The attitude might change slightly and they can maybe rest players.”
"The Northern Irishman said: “Steven and Rangers won’t need my help on it." This reply tells me that he doesn't wish to help us and I for one don't wish his help so I'm sorry Barry. It's a no for me!
Exactly, it’s a lot of nonsense. Rodgers was his manager way before he was the Celtc boss, so if he’s calling him it would be because of that.I really don’t know why people are getting worked up by this.
Its a nothing article in a shitty tabloid.
If Leicester had won the tie... this thread wouldn’t exist
