Eu Turn and Other Managerial Changes in 2021-22

[ad hoc]

Gerrard has gone to Villa

[Rogin the Armchair fan]

I thought he'd hold out for the Man U job.

Scottish football is fucked if Villa is a step up from Rangers.

[DCI Harry Batt]

Scottish football has been fucked in that sense for a fair while, no?

[Ray de Galles]

Yeah, that has been the case for decades.

[Snake Plissken]

Scottish football is fucked if Villa is a step up from Rangers.

IIRC, last years Old Firm featured a matchup between Scott Arfield and Shane Duffy. Last seen in the Championship in 2014.

Fucked for a long, long time. Last team to win the league, other than Rangers and Celtic, was Aberdeen in 1985/86. Years ago although those two were winning titles, the points differential was often very marginal. Now those are miles and miles of the rest, although this season, things have started a bit tighter normal service was starting to resume. Hopefully Stevie G’s departure can unsettle things a wee bit more.

Of course it is a step up. Just like Leicester is a step up from Celtic. You are aware of the comparative wealth of each league?

[DCI Harry Batt]

What I found interesting was learning that Rangers's "matchday revenue" is about three times that of Villa.

[jwdd27]

John Terry and Frank Lampard both in the frame to be next to boost their credentials with Rangers in the crofters league.

The rest of the SPL is pretty much Div 3/4 standard, or lower judging from Scunny's recruitment from the lesser teams over the past few years.

That's interesting seeing as both grounds are fairly similar in size. More executive boxes at Greyskull charging top whack for lashings of Succulent Lamb?

[Lang Spoon]

Or Creative Accounting going on somewhere.

[ursus arctos]

European matches may also be a factor

Assuming Gerrard is ultimately seeking an opportunity back to Liverpool it was pointless him staying at Rangers. Lampard got back to Chelsea by not doing much at Derby. And OK nobody quite understands their managerial selection process but feels safe to say winning Scotland premier title after 3 years in charge counts for less than that.

[hobbes]

Gerrard is one of my all time favourite players.
I do not want him managing Liverpool though.

[Patrick Thistle]

Lampard definitely being talked about to take over at Norwich.

The Cumdog wasn't good enough for Salop apparently but is scoring regularly for Dundee.

Chris Doidge is playing for Hibernian and ignored by the Wales set up which calls up youth academy players from the English football league.

He effectively did, in 2014, which didn't ultimately turn out well.

Not now - Frank Lampard: Former Chelsea boss pulls out of Norwich talks - BBC Sport . JT, Delia and Stephen Fry could make it very interesting at Carrow Road, but more probably, it'll mean that Dean Smith won't be unemployed for too long (and deservedly so after his shabby treatment by Villa).

[Lang Spoon]

He'll be a far better fit than Lampard as well.

[Satchmo Distel]

Sorry, couldn't resist.

[Felicity, I guess so]

your point is a good one, about the relative standards/expectations...but NOBODY has been scoring regularly for Dundee!

[Antepli Ejderha]

Dean Smith looks set to become the new Norwich boss.

[Lang Spoon]

Play Gilmour ya bas.
