Gerrard appionted at the Vile

Maybe, not convinced him doing well will do enough to promote them though.

When was the last time they were in the prem?

They were relegated with the mackems while Rafa was promoting us.

Aye, they were promoted when we were last relegated, then went doon with the mackems and have been there ever since.

Martin Samuel (yes that anti - Mag Martin Samuel) of the Daily Fail reckons we missed a trick not approaching Gerrard in the right manner.OK Mr Samuel lets see what transpires.Suffice it to say I'm very happy with the outcome.

Gerrard has never been tested as a manager, he walked into one of the top two teams in a much inferior league. I'd rather have a tried and tested man who knows how to fight in a much more superior one, Howe will do for me.

I agree. At first glance you’d be happy with Gerrard or Howe but the Scottish league has proven many times to be a ‘false’ measure when compared to the PL. I’m more confident in a man who has ‘done it’ and has experience in the PL.
