Gerrard is probably, from the current list of favourites, the best candidate for attracting decent quality and retaining players like Harry Kane.
Top player. Other players will respect him.

It it’s between Nuno or Gerrard, the latter fits the bill more imo (even though if he does well he would then fuck off to Liverpool)
Have you seen his Rangers play?
Some of your other objections seem pretty childish. Why is he an absolute prick?
Would you take the Liverpool scouting and analytics dept at Spurs? Would you take VVD, Mane, Fabinho, at Spurs?
I'm struggling to see why he's an "absolute prick" too. Because he got in a fight once?
You will change your tune when Ryan has us top at Christmas.
It's almost worth doing just to see Carragher having to pretend to like us.
Look at the fact we're even debating Nuno or fucking Stevie G.?
Complete shambles.

I have been calling Gerrard almost from the get go. So I am hoping it is him because it will flatter my ego.
Gerrard would be ok. Obvs it would be prep for Liverpool for him - not good - but he’s improved Rangers no end.
Don’t really see what the personality objections are? That he has a bit of an ego (they all do) and got into a bar fight once (again, in good company there).

I watched a lot of Rangers Europa games last season and they played very exciting and entertaining football.
I have two friends who support Celtic and they both grudgingly admit Gerrard has done a brilliant job.
Funny, he speaks so highly of you!
Well yeah, that’s the thing. I think we will live to regret what happened with Fonseca, he was nothing special but his approach matched up with ours.
Now we are down to the absolute dregs unless Levy decides to go after a manager who is currently in a job. Nuno is not an acceptable ending to this process, he’s just the last man standing who is currently unemployed. Couldn’t even convince Palace to hire him.
Only a little in Europa League.
Anyone associated with Liverpool is a prick, they are a disgusting club from the owners down to the disgusting fanbase.
No and No. No, No, No.
If our club has fallen to the level where we have to associate ourselves with the scum that comes from Liverpool we should just fold up shop. Yes Levy is horrible but at least he isn't Liverpool. There is not a more disgusting group of individuals in sports than anything associated with those pricks.
Is the guy who managed Zagreb out of jail yet?
Sounds like your priorities are straight.
Well who ever we appoint is likely to be shit so I might as well have some bragging rights.
Rather have him than the last 3 candidates (Fonseca, Gattuso, Nuno). Granted, that's not saying much, but I think people are discounting what he did at Rangers far too much.
Yes, Scottish league is a joke, 2-horse race and so forth, but he took a team that was a real mess in a lot of ways and improved them dramatically every year he was in charge. Tactically he's grown a lot as well and gave that team an actual identity on the pitch.
Sure, whenever Klopp leaves he's probably going to Liverpool, but I'm not too concerned about losing a manager a few seasons down the road - we need someone that can right the ship and I think Gerrard could do that.
I can't imagine Gerrard entrusting his nascent managerial career with our dumpster fire, and this all sounds like absolute bollocks to me, but if there's anything to it it would be a decent appointment.
Another pro is that she actually is a Spurs fan....she did play for Woolwich though...I don't give a fuck what sex/orientation a manager is, I just want them to be a great manager.
Honestly, I think the risk-reward is high and that's one reason Levy might be tempted. Massive global wave of female supporters would arrive overnight. Hayes looks to be an amazing manager and smarter than most we've been linked with.
Pros:
She's probably cheaper to buy out of her contract than male PL managers (experience aside, she should probably earn the same as whoever else we were going to get in - to avoid the obvious shit-storm).
She's an ex-US manager, probably got many eyes on here from her time over there.
She's usually the smartest person in the room.
I don't hate the idea of her, unlike everyone we are currently (still) linked with.
A gamble is all we have left.
Cons:
She's ex-Chelsea.
Nightmare fuel for sexists.
Papers will be waiting for us to fuck up. Both as a team and in the way we treat her.
Next, they will be wanting to vote and drive unaccompanied. Oh, the humanity!
