I'm having a very hard time imagining Gerrard as a manager. He was never one for inspiring with words and the force of his personality, he always inspired through what he did on the pitch. That's obviously not an option from the sideline. I just think he'll be too quiet.

That being said, if his knowledge of the game good enough, and he gets a good assistant to do the shouting for him, maybe he can do it. I'd certainly like to see him succeed.

People say it was Gerrard who fired up the boys from 3-0 down not Rafa I don't get the hate for a man who has giving some much to Liverpool . He could easily left us in the dark days.

Something Red, where did you get the information he didn't do a lot off the pitch from?
Similar to John Terry at Chelsea, I have heard that if anything Gerrard had too much influence off the pitch and could apply pressure for players to be moved on.
He has also already coached some of the youths at the club.
I doubt he yet has the qualifications required to manage, but if he is genuinely in line then good on him not just using his contacts for a role at Liverpool. Will do him the world of good to experience the lower leagues, can see many Liverpool lads getting experience in the lower leagues on loan if it does happen.

Stevie g good luck to u mate if half the passion u showed on the pitch in a liverpool shirt comes out in your coaching I have no doubt you'll be successful.

Would have preferred him to choose a different club to be honest. MK Dons are not very well liked.
Good luck to him whatever job he gets.

No hate, only admiration and gratitude. That doesn't mean I have to abandon a rational assessment of how he would benefit Liverpool by returning now. The head says it would be bad for both parties. If he is to have success in management he has to find is extremely elsewhere 'cos he's starting at zero as a manager.

Not really an MK Dons fan but I don't think It's a good move for either party.

Good luck to to you Stevie.
Your a legend to all true reds.
F#@k the begrudgers.
Don't be afraid to fail as that is how you learn
You are one that will never walk alone.

I do not dislike gerrard at all really, i dislike the ridiculous esteem and rose tinted glasses people have for him. He was never the same when he reached 30 and should have been let go, but was instead kept around, whether that was his bidding or the fans or just how crap we were at the time, i don't know.

If he's half as good at management as he was a player hel be one of the best around .

I wish he would try even become an assistant manager somewhere first before taking a job like that. experience is crucial in management. Ed001 do you know who gareth southgate might have as his number 2 if he becomes england manager which looks likely? Would be ideal for gerrard in my opinion.

{Ed001's Note - I believe that the FA would like him to have an experienced head to guide him. Not sure how it would be ideal for a novice like Gerrard either.}

If there was an all time top prem team picked by prem. league experts, , managers and ex players stephen Gerrard would be one of the first names on the sheet.
And in my opinion he would be captain as well.

I don't think anybody begrudges him or dislikes him on these pages. We're unanimous in praise for his long service to the club as a player. I'm just completely against his getting a free pass or open door to any management position at LFC, without his proving he's good enough for the job. Just as he did as a player. Simple.

To be fair, does Arsene Wenger seem inspiring with words or force of personality?

Like kenny did
Like Souness did
I think Roy Evans was a player who went coaching and worked his way up through the Liverpool ranks.

Its been done at Barcelona with Pep going straight to coaching the B team.

We have to stop thinking that Stevie is looking for any favours or free route into coaching and look at how the club could benefit if things worked well.
As it did with Kenny years ago.

If it didn't work out then make different arrangements.
