Steven Gerrard

I'm sure he didn't go for the money.

Comparing a multi-millionaire former footballer and English football legend with DM is a ridiculous comparison.

Gerrard has a net worth of around £70 million. He's a 43 year old manager, not some old geezer looking for a final payday. 

You don't think he could have got another job in England or Europe?

It looks like he's thrown in the towel already after one bad spell at Villa.

If Lampard was able to get jobs after Chelsea, Gerrard would too.

He actually did a very good job at Rangers. His record in Europe was good too.

He'd probably have to settle for a Championship team or wait for a PL club like Wolves, Luton or Sheffield United to sack their manager.

At Rangers he won one domestic trophy out of a possible nine. 

It really isn't. If you're a biased Celtic fan, maybe.

1st and only SP title since 2011. It was a big deal. Celtic had a massive advantage over Rangers who were in recovery for years.

Rangers outperformed Celtic in Europe under Gerrard. 26 wins & 17 draws from 53 European games.

Slippy G did a good job at Rangers. Villa was a disaster.

Seen as Neil Lennon won a domestic treble the season before under Lennon, I'd say no.

Rangers, Celtic, Hibs and Aberdeen all failed to stop that St Johnston side. You're being a bit ridiculous with your standards. You don't have to win domestic treble every season to have a good season.

Rangers went the entire league campaign undefeated. 102 points. It would have been very difficult for any manager to match that. Rangers generally bought well under Gerrard.

You could say the same about Brendan Rodgers returning to Celtic.

Gerrard did well and earned a managerial move to England, then failed. Beale was with him at Villa for 6/7 months. So who knows how good Beale really is. Some people credit him for Gerrard's success at Rangers.

He won one trophy from nine in Scotland. The Huns wanted him chased on a few different occasions before Neil Lennon and the Celtic board lost their collective mind during the covid season (they had insisted on keeping players who were not committed enough and/or wanted out; they also had signed some atrocious guys who were way off the standard that was required). Callum Davidson is literally a more successful Scottish manager than Slippy. His reputation was heavily buoyed by his pals/admirers in the English media - who might watch an SPFL game twice a year - and he was quickly exposed for the utter, utter bluffer he is when he went to Villa. Bear in mind, also, that The Mole was - supposedly - the ‘brains’ of that particular operation.
