Graham 24 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 1 hour ago, Bill said: I always wondered what Gary McAllister's role was under Gerrard, other than filling in at pressers and the like. I dont think he did a huge amount. He was probably just there as someone Gerrard trusted for advice, someone who he could talk to. The fact that Gerrard's taken him to Villa suggests he had his uses. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always looked like the main coaching and tactical support came from elsewhere. Assistant managers seem to be a bit like US vice presidents - they don't actually do anything and are sometimes chosen on the basis of not posing any threat to the incumbent, the difference being that in football the sidekick usually buggers off with the main man when he goes. A pal to talk to and lessen the blame if things go tits up 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,602 Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 I always saw McAllister as a link between the players and the manager too. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell of a lot of money for a go-between and a comfort blanket. You'd think a senior position like assistant manager should have a few more objective deliverables than that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I agree, hence the "too", adding to what has been said above. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 15,292 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I really don't understand this desire to continually hark on about our old management team. It's all about The Rangers! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
