Of all the City managers there has been I didn't mind Lee Johnson, I thought he always came across as a thoroughly likeable sort of bloke. He will get hired again, allbeit probably at a lower level but with only being one year I think in to a four year contract I don't expect we shall be seeing him down Nelson Street just yet !

I think you’ll find it’s a bit of a wind-up. Surely not serious. If they did it would be total proof that they are obsessed by us.😉 UTG! Hope so and I think that's probably right.Never know these days though. Not the level of disrespect they showed him over Taylor surely

Steven Gerrard the latest target. Might as well aim high I suppose.

Eddie Howe is being mooted, better chance with him than Gerrard

He's the perfect fit for Rangers as far as I'm concerned. He's got them good enough that Celtic have to think about things, so there's actually a bit of interest in the SPL again, but not quite good enough to actually win anything.

Apparently the Sunday Express report City are after Gerrard.[br ]Rangers s far bigger club of course,with the challenge of another go at Celtic, plus European campaign.
City offer a big wage ,(bigger I assume) and a far more competitive division,the 4th best supported in Europe.
He might go but I reckon he'll want another go at winning the SPL.

City offer a big wage ,(bigger I assume) and a far more competitive division,the 4th best supported in Europe. He might go but I reckon he'll want another go at winning the SPL. Rangers overall wage bill is approx. 50% more than City's from the limited source material I've seen. One would imagine that Gerrard is on a higher wage at Rangers than City would normally afford (certainly more than Lee Johnson was on), so it recruiting him would depend on: i. Lansdown pushing the boat out.
ii. Gerrard wanting to come.
The second is a big sticking point in my opinion. He's doing a good job at Rangers, they are competitive with Celtic, although fell away a bit toward the end of the curtailed season. He is well respected / loved by the fans up there, so in all respects, it would be seen by most as a step down.
More likely, he'll bide his time and get a Premier League job next, but I think he'll do another season at Rangers first.

In 'ceremonial' stature a step down,but in reality take Celtic away and the English 2nd tier looks better to me.No disrect to Scottish football,I like it but the Championship is very competitive and well supported.SL has the cash for SG if he cares to dig deeper than usual. We agree he'll stay at Rangers though,he'll want to win a SPL Title and as you suggest he's doing a good enough job to continue to challenge.

As a Celtic fan, I'd have to agree! Seriously though, I do keep hearing what a good job he has done for Rangers , yet he is one of only a handful of Rangers managers never to have won anything and of those few, he has been in the job longest. He is actually the least successful Rangers manager of all time!

two full seasons. from the brink of being sh8te to fairly good, don't think he has done too bad overall, IMO he will be there at least another two seasons before moving into the prem, not a bad place to cut your cloth ,with the pressure induced from the "other side" to get silverware ....7/10 i would give him

I get that, but really it's all about the hype. Despite what the impression many have of him at Rangers, he really has been very poor. I was at the last Old Firm game and to be fair , Rangers were by far the better team and we were lucky to get away only losing 2-1, Rangers can count themselves desperately unlucky to lose in the League Cup final as well. But occasionally turning up against Celtic does not make him a good manager. They have been woeful since beating Celtic and I know a fair few Rangers fans who have had enough of his press conferences where he starts by saying @i take full responsibility ' and then spends the next 5 minutes taking no responsibility whatsoever and throwing his players under the bus! Anyway, like I said, I get why there would be a worry if he did go to City, but I think that would throw away all Lansdown's previous - very commendable- way of going about building up a club for the long term. Gerrard might create enough of a fuss to lure a few star names and that might get them to the promised land (which I feel is kind of inevitable anyway) but he would be away like a rat up a drainpipe the moment a 'bigger' club came in for him. He won't go there anyway

Considering the state of the club and it’s finances I think he’s done quite well, one of his problems is on field temperament and some stupid red cards , And I don’t think you’re lot have been that outstanding, just lack of more decent opposition has enabled them to retain top dog status.. but hey that’s Scottish football ⚽️

He won't go there anyway You may be looking at this through green & white tinted spectacles! I'm not a fan of either, but from the games I did see, Rangers were better this season than previously. On 2/3 the budget of Celtic, they put up a good challenge until falling away over the last 6-7 games. As well as the 2-1 victory at Celtic Park, the League Cup Final was a complete travesty, with Rangers losing, but being completely on top.
Anyway, as you say - He won't go there anyway! [cut away to a beaming red-faced DoG with Gerrard awkwardly holding Robins scarf and straw in his hair]

Nope - will always remember he played a part in the Scaly Thing's move to the s**t Pit. For that and for half of his DNA, I won't shed any tears over his sacking
