On the day he was signed and paraded at Ibrox I was excited. Id got on the train by then. However when the speculation was floating about, I'll be honest, i didnt fancy us going with an untested manager.
It seems crazy now, we've made such progress under his leadership, but it did cross my mind when his name was first mention I feared we might be handing the mentally challengeds 10IAR. I remember thinking then, as I still do now, we better have got this one right because failure doesnt bear thinking about. Even with those reservations, I still thought he was preferable to McInnes. That would have been a disaster. I still get cold sweats thinking how close we were to signing him.
I'm much more confident Gerrard is the man to lead us back to glory after his first season in charge.
