We loved Gerrard as a player, the same as the coach of Glasgow Rangers where the Liverpool legend created a brief change of power in Scottish football. Then came the promising start as Aston Villa manager, the less promising start to the first full season. Then the sacking and the inexplicable exit of 2023 to Saudi Arabian football.
