According to Sky Sports Gerrard is announcing he is getting his badges and qualifications over the next 12 months with goal to be manager... one day manager of Liverpool.

Good luck Stevie... worst case scenario you should still do better than Souness.


He has plenty of leadership experience and played lots of roles so has good understanding... always thought Carra the more natural manager though.
 
Nobody is going to know if they've got what it takes until they've tried to be a manager. Apart from Laudrup I can't think of anyone who was a decent footballer before they went into Management.

However, I get the feeling that there is some steel inside the quiet man that Gerrard appears and he may be the one to break the mould. However, I would advise an interregnum where he manages another club before taking the helm at Anfield
 
Robbie Fowler is doing his badges to. He is in a class with Giggs and Smeichel (I dont even care if that spelling even close, I mean the blond goal keeper geezer). Fowler deliberately decid he did not want to do them whilst he was still playing.

I think Fowler is a wise man.

Who here knows about Fowlers successes in the property business? Away from football he is still worth millions of pounds. If he has the eye for a talent he could be great in the transfer market. Business skills, very good with money, charisma, easier to understand than Carragher.

You've got to look deeper than that! It's fine doing your coaches badges etc. All that does is give you a licence to be dangerous. What you really need to know is how well he understands footballers and how well he can manage to get them to do what he wants. Finally the manager needs to know just what the owners want to achieve.
 
Ian Rush was doing an excellent job managing Chester...quit because owner was an arse...

Would have been fantastic for him to lead us to glory.

Guardiola was good and is a decent enough manager.

Gerrard would certainly be a leader, inspirational, demand respect, draw players, connect with the fans.

Yoda, ye sage of the space domain, I was thinking about Premiership managers!

Off the top of my head; Kenny Dalglish, Kevin Keegan, Mark Hughes, the late Gary Speed, Steve Bruce, Pep Guardiola, Van Bastern, Ruud Gullit, Vialli, Hoddle, etc...

Yes they all had a go - didn't make many of them good managers though did it? BTW you left out Johan Cruff, Gordon Strachan and Graeme Souness.

I did say off the top of my head. I think some of them did well. Obviously not all made it to the top of the tree and one cut his career short so we'll never find out, but I'd say managing in the Premier League is pretty damn successful all the same.

Kenny and Pep haven't done too badly as managers and players though.

You meant to add 'apart from Dalglish' .... didn't you?



You can add Joe Royle to the list of decent player turned decent manager as well.
 
Let Stevie learn on the job - give him a role with the youth teams and let him work his way up, whilst getting his badges.
