They should at least mention that part of the decision was the lucrative contract they offered. Then quickly move on to the drivel. It would make ”the other stuff” they say more believeable.
And you have a clue by the sounds of it but trouble is no club will do for you what Ettifaq do for SG. Villa, kin hell they are flying, chill. SG at Rangers won a title, didnt he?
Won a League by going unbeaten in his first Managerial appointment. Hardly an embarrassment. He should never of went to Villa as he was never going to be given a chance under the circumstances he got the job.
im a liverpool fan but never really a fan of gerrard, yes he was a great player, but as a person, he was not for me. then i learnt he is good mates with british gangsters. my instincts were correct
Simon has it right . To be paid that kind of money for that kind of result is laughable. I read the other day that little old Scunthorpe, who are in the sixth tier, are attracting crowds approaching 5,000 for home games. Stevie G would give his tight arm ( no pun intended!!!) for any crowd of that size. I would love to know how his wife and kids are “loving” the Saudi experience.
You lot never gave him a chance, of course there is a massive difference between him and Emery, I would like to think so considering the experience between them

Modern day football compensates absolute failure quite handsomely, and Gerrard is very thankful for that.
@stevenbrown6593work his way up?? Managing football clubs as a manager is bloody hard, even with millions available to top managers they still get fired left right and center, he could get stuck in non league football for 10 years
Yes, he is not doing it for the money. He did it to fulfil his Childhood ambition for being the manger of Al-Ettifaq & buy chance they have a better understanding of the english language than Gerrard has ever had lol.
So it doesn't matter how bad he's doing but because he's a big name he's immune from the chop. Same way the players can do what they like and turn up late for training knowing they won't be affected by it. Integrity is still crucial to the game and it ain't in abundance out there.
They had to chain Gerard down with golden handcuffs as if he went after Henderson, the project would collapse like a card tower. His name still carries a last vestige of kudos from his playing career to attract high value players. The Saudis needed to commit him and make a strong show of strength after Hendo’s reversal. The whole thing smacks of panto and a Faustian pact.

Be honest and say the money was 98.7% of the reason you moved and we would all nod our heads and give you a pass lad 😂
What he meant was the behind the scenes, building and creating training facilities. He’s building a new league, at least helping to build it. They need football people to help them learn how a good league and team is run, that’s all. He doesn’t just coach, he is consulting too. Sanctimonious Simon has been mean this week, his childish comments about Forest Green Rovers, mocking their fans was a notable low. Apart from Palace, what connection to football does he have? Are you just bitter that nobody in the Saudi area is after your expertise in the game, Simon?
Simon a tad jealous me thinks . He says " Anyone in that position would take the job" so, what is the problem. I don't watch the league but, i say good luck to stevie . It is not that he needs the money. I can assure you if a middle Eastern media company offered Jordan 15 times his salary ( just for arguments sake) he would be gone . He is managing a minnow in a small league, grab that cah with both hands and make a stash.
Next time you speak to him Jim or Simon ask him if he'd of signed a contract if Al Ettifaq said we'll give you a contract extension but you're only on £15,000 a week. He'd be on that plane quicker than you could say Yeah Course
If thats the culture he wants for his daughters who are you to even criticise. You would let your daughters go shake their asses on every drunken in the clubs of Manchester, london and Liverpool.

He is being paid a fortune to manage a pub team for publicity only. They don't care if he wins the league, so long as he sits in the seat. On top of that, because it is a pub league with limited expectations, he is under minimal pressure... Certainly not in the same universe as to the pressure he was under at Villa or Rangers.
I don't begrudge him for taking a massive pay raise to do a less stressful, less demanding job. What irks people is the BS. Be honest and say the money was 98.7% of the reason you moved and we would all nod our heads and give you a pass lad 😂
Absolute joke just money cmon ffs
You wouldn't want a job that pays millions ? How weird
What he meant was the behind the scenes, building and creating training facilities. He’s building a new league, at least helping to build it. They need football people to help them learn how a good league and team is run, that’s all. He doesn’t just coach, he is consulting too.
Sanctimonious Simon has been mean this week, his childish comments about Forest Green Rovers, mocking their fans was a notable low. Apart from Palace, what connection to football does he have? Are you just bitter that nobody in the Saudi area is after your expertise in the game, Simon?
If he was in EPL with his results he would be punted. Challenge lol rubbish, money, money, money and nothing wrong with that, just be honest
Simon a tad jealous me thinks . He says " Anyone in that position would take the job" so, what is the problem. I don't watch the league but, i say good luck to stevie . It is not that he needs the money. I can assure you if a middle Eastern media company offered Jordan 15 times his salary ( just for arguments sake) he would be gone . He is managing a minnow in a small league, grab that cah with both hands and make a stash.
Never won the PL but boy is he winning now
Will Gerrard do everything in his power to get sacked now so he can get his contract paid off
15 million a year would make me do anything...........I mean anything!!!!!
Simon is correct. Gerrard is out there for the pay day that's it.
Funny how they have switch back to attacking Gerrard now Henderson has gone
Next time you speak to him Jim or Simon ask him if he'd of signed a contract if Al Ettifaq said we'll give you a contract extension but you're only on £15,000 a week. He'd be on that plane quicker than you could say Yeah Course
Lol he wanted tax free money
Gerrard just say you love the money big boy. We all know. 😂
Just went there for the money
If thats the culture he wants for his daughters who are you to even criticise.
You would let your daughters go shake their asses on every drunken in the clubs of Manchester, london and Liverpool.
You cant dicsipline yourselves and your families like gerrard can so thats why your hating!
He can make money by creating businesses, but its more than that for him!
Look into his family. ❤
Money is the only reason that lures south american players to Europe. Wherever you play , its all about money. Sad but true
