    I am sure someone will come on to educate me in it's historical significance but to me it is merely an Irish dirge.

    Feel free to educate me.
    I think Liverpool sing the Fields of Anfield Road, same tune but different lyrics. Same as Rangers sign Father's Advice which has the same tune but very different lyrics.

    I agree with others, Fields of Athenry is a great song.

    Thanks Erin.

    By the way, I looked up dirge. It's 'a lament for the dead.'

    Seems like I wasn't far off, and I also prefer SOL.

    I've never once seen him interviewed and thought he was sound, hasn't done much wrong but just can't say I like him. As others have said, if he wants to go and represent right-wing trash then I wish nothing but misery upon him for the duration and maybe even for a while after.

    Could be a decent appointment, he's played under some good managers but this by no means guarantees he'll be a good manager himself. Here's hoping he's as good as the last bunch of clowns.

    As a Liverpool fan this would be devastating. Hopefully Rodgers gets on the phone and talks him out of this nonsense

    High profile name which Sevco crave for. Could turn out to be a ‘fur coat but nae knickers’ appointment.

    He might be good but let's face it there's a much bigger chance he'll be average or poor. So I say they should crack on.

    Not only has he played under some top managers, he's a total perfectionist and demands his team works harder than any other. So he's unlikely to last long at Der Hun, where the currant players don't give a ***** and are lazy, and where the signings won't be anywhere near the quality Gerrard is used to. Its just bizarre he's even talking to that mob.

    There are no alternative versions, The Fields of Athenry is The Fields of Athenry. Rangers sing a lovely song about the UVF or the UDA or whatever they're called to the same tune but that's not an alternative version.

    No chance this is happening. The the's will more than likely end up with his cousin.

    It's not only that he's played under some good, big-name managers but I'm willing to bet Liverpool's behind-the-scenes set-up is just a tad more professional than what goes on at Murray Park !. He might be a perfectionist but at the end of the day, with their budget and what comes out of Murray Park .................................................. ............ I really hope he takes the job !

    I hope this is all papertalk. I really thought Gerrard would remain at Liverpool for years to come progressing through the ranks to eventual first team involvement. In fact I'm convinced he will and this story is total bull.

    Heard about this a couple of days back along with the McGregor signing, what I know is certain Huns seem rather excited about his potential assistant, it’s not Waldo apparently.
    Doing the 2013 Edinburgh half Marathon for McMillan it would be awesome if anyone fancies sponsoring me, http://www.justgiving.com/colin-smith1875 ,go on make a fat man run

    Tbf Alan Stubbs was a coach of a younger team with no experience of being a first team manager and took over a shambles of a club and did well.
    The support network around Stubbs was superb, the Huns don’t have anything close to rivialling our setup!

    I will believe it when I see it. I just put £10 Steve Clarke as imagine he would be off if there was any interest.

    If SG is appointed it has car crash written all over it.

    Has he not got a motd contract? He ain't going to give that up for a basket case club

    That's the gravy train I'd be on, probably earning more money for just talking tom kite once a week.

    Smells of a Joey Barton type managerial appointment

    Got to say I do not see how this pairing fits. Gerrard knows squat about Scottish football, he will expect a good wage and risks his reputation on a problem club. Will he get a good budget - probably not. Will he come under immediate pressure - yes. Can he take on Celtic - no. If he suceeds, no-one cares, if he fails he has pushed his managerial career back.

    I can see what Rangers might get out of it short term - big name, some players from Liverpool etc. - little else

    Remember he has a history of 'almost' moving. Admittedly its crazy enough for Sevco
    Liverpool legend takes first managerial steps in Glasgow. John Barnes didn't last long and there is no evidence to suggest Steeevie G would fare much better 🙂

    My gut feeling is that this is purely a "Let's shoot for the stars and when we fail, they can't say we never tried" exercise.
    Even if I'm wrong and it happens, I still think it will all end in tears ... on both sides.

    They also seem intent on undermining and humiliating Graeme Murty, which is frankly weird but quite pleasing.

    Steven Gerrard as a player was top class this of course means zero as a manager. He will have contacts but none of this makes him a good manager.

    Could be Stubbs. could be Calderwood.

    That just isn't going to end well. Do they see him as the new Souness or something? Whoever gets that job is on a hiding to nothing as they're never going to overturn Celtic and that's what they're judged on. Lack of experience is hurting them now with Murty and it wont change with Gerrard who won't have a pot to piss in.
