Can't believe we're over 24 hours in to this thread and despite it now being fairly obvious he's a contender for the Villa role there's still a refusal to accept Gerrard might be a decent Manager who would be of interest at that level.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Why is it fairly obvious he’s a contender?

He can’t be a contender unless he’s actually being asked can he? Other than that he’s just a name thrown in the ring by the media.

Exactly as it is right now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Usually when some of the outlets, pundits and journos we have heard from are all reporting the same thing you can get a sense of when it has gone beyond clickbait speculation. Whether he get it/takes it or not is a different question but it's fairly safe to say he's on their shortlist.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Like those who suggest Rangers getting to the CL will wipe out all their debt?

If he’s on their shortlist then I expect he/Rangers will be approached.

I don’t think they will be; in the same way there was zero approach from Newcastle or the other unknown EPL teams we are led to believe he “turned down”. Utter horsesheite.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

No I don't think the same people. Not nonsense either to say he has had the opportunity to go to 3 clubs previously down there.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Where? How can he have the opportunity to go and manage a club he was never asked to?

What clubs approached Gerrard and by virtue of that Rangers; who he is contracted to?

He has been asked to manage 3 clubs down there previously. It's no big deal if you don't believe me.

Villa have been happy with guys like McLeish, Tim Sherwood and Lambert so its no surprise that Gerrard pops up on their radar .

It would be interesting to see who rangers bring in if he does fck off. But i suspect he'll be here until the rangers fans become disgruntled with him
----------------------------------------------------------------------

exactly. I personally don't think he will still be here this time next year but not sure I see him going right now for Villa.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry Smid but I really can’t follow this at all.

Surely he has to be asked for at least a conversation (and that would have to be agreed by Rangers) before there’s even the remotest chance of him going anywhere?

It’s just never been his choice to make so far.

Who are these clubs and when was he asked?

I genuinely don’t know of a single one. It’s not a matter of believing you.

Rangers debt was said to be around 19.5 m (beginning of the year) which was said to be bigger than the rest of the club in the league you earn more than double from being in the CL as EL. get to the group stages in CL and you earn about 19m more for that a you do for winning the europa league outright.

We should earn more than 20m more than normal for being in the CL. Which prob wont completely wipe the debt but pretty damn close. So will it be totally clear, prob not but close enough for me to be good with saying we have no real debt.

Does it matter who they are/were? The point is he is still here and might still be here next week, might not. Will see how it plays out.

I'm looking forward to the stories next week about how Gerrard turned down Villa as he has unfinished business at Ibrox.

I won't believe it. Gersmid probably will.

Such is football.

We'll never know the truth.

Unless Hamish tells us of course.

Let's leave it at that.

It doesn’t matter really in all honesty but I’d have thought that suggesting that someone turned down three managerial opportunities being made as a claim might be substantiated by at least naming these clubs. Or even one of them.

I’d have also expected the Scottish media and Rangers to have sung it from the rooftops as some kind of positive spin. Yet, nothing.

That doesn’t include the day to day running costs at a huge deficit. They are still there and will be next year.

Undoubtedly it will be a huge positive.

It's not substantiated any more or less by me naming them though is it. I've made a comment and you don't believe it, that's no problem.

In terms of the positive spin, that's based on your views towards Rangers and the Scottish media which might not be on the money.

Eh?

Naming the teams would help substantiate the claim. Not naming them leaves it open to accusations of “utter horsesheite”, and quite rightly so.

Not one single bear, piece of media outlet or anything at all is able to name a side Gerrard has supposedly turned down.

Just nothing.

It’s nonsense.

I've shaigged several supermodels but it wouldn't be substantiated any more by naming them.

Although they were all really sound guys.

Its smoke and mirrors until either Villa or Rangers put out something official. Reminds me a bit of the old Morelos bid from China that was mashoove, there was never any proof of that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
what huge bid? only bid that was confirmed was a 7m bid that I can remember. Apparently according to papers Morelos was due to earn 30m from it but I doubt that was true.

highest bid we knocked back was 18m if I remember correct from Lille that the Lille chairman confirmed he had made and was knocked back

*16m sorry
