Why leave sevco when they have qualifying games in the CL next season I hear you ask? Well back in December the club announced £15.9million losses in their annual accounts and needed to raise up to £24million by the end of next season to fill a black hole in their finances. Managing director Robertson admitted the Ibrox boss will be forced to let some of his key men go in a bid to balance the books this summer. So do think Gerrard is going to go into the CL and a new season against Celtic, who have been given a £40M war chest for the new Manager to rebuild, with a weakened team and potentially lose his current status as the Messiah?, THE ANSWER IS NO. He will quit while the going is good, he is smart.

Engerland managers job might become vacant.

Possible, when Scotland put you out, Gareth could walk, but he's too young for that gig IMO.
there's no way Gerrard will walk away from Rangers after only losing a league title because of a points deduction, he'll be keen to put that right, remember as a player Gerrard never won the league with Liverpool either
The English media is going bananas over 'how well he has done up here', this time last year the fans were calling for him to go, he has so far won 1 domestic trophy out a possible 9, whilst stretching sevco's finances to the limit by holding the board to ransom over selling players, the fallout from this is yet to come. Your average sevco fan is too thick to see this.
Big shout out to Glasgow police and their families last night, horrendous situation for you to deal with, absolute animals they are, and the fact sevco Ltd refused to condone their fans behaviour is beyond contemptible.
the sellick supporters, indyref2, the remainers all f==kin sick as f==k.the only thing they can look forward to is Meghans new baby, cheers.
Still kicking myself to this day for missing out on her playing Hampden with John Fogerty (CCR) in support. Circa 2000?

best to stick with the Rangers for a bit now even if as we know most managers turn sour at sometime .. Scotland still well behind the black ball as far as good squads look far into the future . not sure how long they have missed out Europe C.L. but thats next step after this win .. a huge task ahead for all Scottish teams .. never the less .. thats where the country is Now ..
if nothing else S.G. LOOKS THE PART FOR NOW .

Not a bad shout Dragon, some people think he would not want to go up against Liverpool,but I've come to realise just how ambitious Gerrard is, and if he doesn’t leave for Liverpool, I don't think he will have a problem at another lower level Premier League team. This a man who was born and married into Catholic institutions, who's 2nd team was Celtic as a lad and who even has a daughter named Lourdes, yet he still took the sevco job, knowing the bigoted environment that comes with it, he will have no issues in going up against Liverpool if it means him furthering his career.
He may also wish for a better class of supporter all things considered, so Millwall a possible perhaps?
Got to admit these are shocking scenes.

Stevie G looks a very good managerial prospect but he should probably stay in Scotland for a few more years. It's an enormous difference in standard between the two leagues.
To put this all in to perspective regarding Gerard being a good manager - Neil Lennon has won the Scottish Premier League 5 times. Was he ever good enough for top jobs elsewhere. In general the SPLF is an average league to win. Even Ronny Deila has won it twice -
Also, in that period Neil Lennon took Celtic to the last 16 of the Champions League. In that journey beating a very strong Barcelona team 2 -1 at Celtic Park
but rangers have won fick all in a very long time i think its a very special achievment and worthy of much credit
Ronny Deila won more trophies in his first season at Celtic than the great Steven Gerrard has in 3 seasons. Deila still got the sack at Celtic the next season. Gerrard has some record 1 trophy out of 9 in a so called 2 horse race for every trophy in Scotland -
If he's got any sense he will stay where he is until Klopp leaves, no need to risk blotting the copybook taking a risk managing elsewhere.
Aston Villa apparently, doon in London for talks apparently. Huns seathing apparently. 
Surely its better to get experience in the PL than stay at Rangers?
Clough, Shankly and Ferguson got their experience in the lower leagues and it didn't do them any harm.
Opportunity knocks now so its decision time for him. He should take the villa job.
I'm quite interested in how much sevco will get in comp for Gerrard ?, Celtic got 8.8 Million from Leicester for Rodgers, won't be that much I imagine, but it would be a kick in the nuts for wee sevco if he had a clause that meant he could go to a prem team for free, but we can hope
A bit daft mid season but Rodgers went with like 8 games to go giving up another league medal?

Daily Record saying 2-3m is the release clause, If that's true, Gerrard's played a blinder there, total mercenary, didn't give a f**k about sevco, used them as a stepping stone, I did warn sevco about this.

Congrats to (Ex Sevco Manager) Stevie G on signing a 3 1/2 year deal at Aston Villa, apparently taking ALL his backroom staff with him and only costing his new club 2.5 M for the privilege. He has absolutely stuffed his old club and for that I salute him. 
If he was offered the Newcastle job and turned it down ,it seems strange that he would take the Villa job .unless the toon job was to big for him .
Well that did not go well, not many would have predicted he would have accepted an English Premiership relegation battle over a SPL title shootout. Both Celtic and Rangers fans should now realise that the SPL is now a stepping stone to mediocracy into the EPL. Celtic and Rangers lost managers to middle rate EPL teams with smaller fan bases but larger revenue streams, a sad indictment for the SPL.
zero chance he was offered Toon job.
Villa would be more his level

You'd have to wonder if there are any financial issues going on in the background at Rangers.
Gerard has basically taken Villas hand off so quick was he in accepting the offer

Rangers will receive compensation from Aston Villa, understood to be in the region of £4.5m.
That's around 1% of what Dean Smith wasted in the transfer market 
Bad move for Gerrard. What is the very best he can achieve there with their finances ? 9th or 10th but that is pretty much what they achieved last season under Smith. To get higher in the league like top 4 they would need to spend another 400million and the owners aren't the same as the PIF that bought Newcastle.
Oh don't you know? It's nothing to do whatsoever with the players who are actually on the pitch kicking the ball. Oh no, Gerrard is this great manager (he won the league in a two horse race so he must be!) so therefore if you've got a good manager he could take over the 'Dog & Duck' pub team and they'd win the Premiership. The fact the players wouldn't be good enough has absolutely nothing to do with it.
Villa are a mid table side roughly so give him a year with the same players and they'll probably end up ........... mid table!

Villa were a mid table team with Grealish, they are a bottom 6 without. Gerard has to be everything and more to maintain that team in the top half of the premiership without spending significantly.
Of the 3 epl jobs that became available I would say Villa is the most attractive. Less pressure/media focus than the toon job. Less peril/danger of going down than the canaries job. I think Villa have a decent squad add a bit more creativity in the middle of the park and a new LB top 8 IMO
The very best players don't want to play in Scotland. You have some chance getting them to Villa.
""If he was offered the Newcastle job and turned it down ,it seems strange that he would take the Villa job .unless the toon job was to big for him .""
I have to agree that the Villa job would be the best choice out of those 3 clubs.
I'd stay at Rangers
he has a job there for life if he wants it
stay until he has a good run in Europe, then try to get a job like Arsenal or Spurs

DM headline: Aston Villa appoint Steven Gerrard as their new manager as Premier League strugglers land No 1 target following Dean Smith's sacking... with Liverpool legend waving goodbye to Rangers after hugely successful three-year stay.
"Hugely" successful? Who is kidding who? Managers have been sacked for winning more trophies! lmao.
Welcome to the Championship - again - Aston Villa.

Newcastle will spend fortunes in the next 3 years and Villa will still be fighting to finish half way up the Premier League

Any manager will choose a premier league club over one in scotland- didnt rofgers leave celtic for Leicester
Rangers recently had to declare significant operating losses wolf so your instincts are working well. However, Sevco fans are assured that the "ten year plan" is on track.

I think he did a very good job at Rangers. Stopping 10 in a row, generating over £30m in Euro revenues over the last 2 seasons for a club in a very bad financial situation and Rangers played a major role in improving Scotland's club co-efficient meaning that the champs are likely to get an automatic CL group stage place next season. If Rangers win the league that will be more revenues that they badly need. To put it in context the SPL champs get something like £4m in TV money for winning the league. Euro football is where the money is for Scottish clubs.
His prime targets were winning the league and doing well in Europe and he did both.

He was never really going to be exposed at Rangers.
At least now we will start to find out whether he is a dud or not?
What is the barometer of success? Fans always want more than you might reasonably expect.

You're much closer to the truth than even you know differentdrum. Not only did Celtic hand them the title on a plate by shooting themselves repeatedly in the foot throughout the season every other club underperformed individually, and all in the same season. It was a Leicester City type league win - totally out of the blue and never ever to be repeated. Actually, to be more accurate, it was a Blackburn Rovers type of league win - once in a lifetime followed by an exodus of talent and finance.
You're spot on lurka.
Some, mainly celtic supporters, try to bury their heads in the sand looking for excuses.
Rangers were a much improved team last year both domestically and in Europe and that annoys the them.
Us winning the league by a country mile and stopping 10 in a row* was a bitter pill for celtic and their fans to swallow and they still haven't got over it.
We say 10 in a row but it was really nine and three quarters as they were gifted a title that was there to be won.

Those in the know up here knew Gerrard was a false messiah, 1 in 9 trophies at sevco? Not a good record. His team used to collapse after Christmas up here as well, having a touch of deja vu here with Villa. 1 win in 8 for Stevie G now, 1 win this year, can't say the board didn't back in the transfer window now can he?
