A few rumours doing the rounds that Arsenal are looking at Gerard should Emery lose his job. Now, hopefully they are just rumours, however what do you folks think, should Gerard stay us with us or does he view doing a good job with Arsenal over a couple of seasons as a quicker route back to Liverpool? He must be looking at Lampard who, after a decent job with Derby now has his dream job at Chelsea. As I said, hopefully their only rumours.

What if SG did go to arsenal and it all went pete tong? It would probably ruin his chance to manage Liverpool. I heard klopp was going to leave Liverpool in a couple of years. SG wins the league, cup, manage gers into the champions league. Leave when Liverpool come calling.

As you say, they are just rumours, and not very believable ones at that. Klopp is at Liverpool for as long as he wants to be, never mind leaving in 'a couple of years'. If it does happen sooner rather than later, they will replace him with a manager with a great European pedigree, which will NOT be Stevie G. He'd become the next but one.

If (most likely scenario) Klopp gives them another three or four years and Gerrard has a good measure of success with us, then he'll be in line for the Liverpool job. Nothing to do with looking wistfully at Lampard, just that Liverpool are now back to where they believe they belong and will be planning to stay there, and apart from a couple of other teams in England, none are bigger than Rangers, are not guaranteed European football like Rangers, and don't have the fan base of Rangers.

If Klopp looks like he's there for the long haul, I'd be more concerned about losing Gerrard to a top European team for a couple of seasons before Anfield calls.

By the time klopp does leave SG could well have a 'european pedigree' managing gers. Not sure your 'likely scenario' is any true/ valid than rumours 😉.

That's exactly what I said, if, in three or four years he develops that sort of pedigree, he will be in line for the Liverpool job. Thank you for agreeing with me, mrgrumpy.
