How anyone can disagree with this is beyond meIncredible rewriting of what Gerrard achieved going on by some.
Perspective is everything and he was the exact man needed at the most crucial of turning points. Without him there would be no 55, no European rampages, no players like Kent/Aribo/Goldson and now Tillman/Lawrence.
Gio has done very well to build on the foundations in place but make no mistake it wouldnt have happened without Gerrard, his connections and his personal skillset.
The lack of trophies vs what couldve been won is an utter irrelevance since what we needed was a total rebuild on and off the pitch. Thats what he achieved at a time when Rangers were facing continual mediocrity.
Aston Villa are a great fit for him and he has already improved them a lot. A top-half finish in the EPL would be a sensational achievement considering the clubs hes competing with to get it.
Hes bound for bigger and better things than Villa but theyre the right club at the right time for him, just as Rangers were.
His departure was a jolt and caused temporary upset but look at what unfolded thereafter and where we are now.
He should have nothing but best wishes from Rangers supporters and be welcomed back at Ibrox anytime.
