“Gerrard guided Glasgow Rangers to the Scottish Premiership title last season, finishing the campaign undefeated in the league.
“The 41-year-old has attracted many admirers in the game for his work in transforming the fortunes of the Glasgow giants while also implementing an attractive, attacking style of football.

Oh my God, Balogun, Aribo, Bassey loses their charismatic coach!!!
But I see it as a blessing in disguise though as this might pave ways to return of Aribo and Bassey to England albeit possible premier league actions………fingers crossed!!!
My goodness, this Iwunze of a guy really desperately needs psychiatric assistance!
See the way he tore into Dr. Banks! Iwunze, do you realize that you could have disagreed with Dr. Banks without insulting him? Hehehehehehe, this is hilarious actually.
See person wey say em get sense! O boy, go and sit down. If na hungry dey make you vex, go find something chop. When you chop finish and your stupid head don clear, then you can come back to the forum. For now, you’re just like a rabid dog, barking and attacking everything in sight.
Get lost!
Your Mama and your papa. SO in one Breath you and your clone @Dr Banks are happy that ways are being paved for players back to England. But then again you are also happy that Stars in England are being benched for commoners in Pensioner leagues with Experience thrown around for Justification?. So Dennis a star in Watford England must miss out for Musa? and, Awoniyi who is in Arguably a stronger league than England is missing out as well. Lookman who is cleared Playing in a stronger team than Aston Villa Missing out for Musa, who has been finished for years and is a useless as Kano pillars wingers are currently is also okay with you? .. If there is anyone who needs to crawl back into a stinking kennel it is you with your Corrupt double standards sentimental shitty brain and the rubbish that gave birth to your miserable existence who piece of begger SHIT!!!!!!!
Wetin my parents do you? Leave them out of this. I will not insult your poor parents, who were unfortunate enough to have your like as a son.
You are bereft of morals, and altogether senseless.
Beggarly fool. You are the most miserable nonentity on this forum. Posting balderdash comments and flying off into a lunatic rage anytime you disagree with someone.
Have you found something to eat yet? Honestly, a good meal will help you reason better.
@pompei. I have tried to advise iwunze many times but he is just like that. I know he will change his style bsoon. Football does not deserve this from us. We don’t bstrat cursing ourselves and even our parents as iwunze did. It’s wrong.
The idiot is as crazy as a rabid racoon. I’m sure he walks about on the street, arguing and fighting with himself. He just admitted that he got enraged with Dr. Banks without even reading and understanding his comment! Is that not high level insanity?
People need to stand up to the bully and dish it out to him as well.
If you play the mature guy, he won’t stop. He will keep insulting and cursing. The dud is a total nut job.
Brother, please read Dr Banks statement very well. You really misquoted him
I didn’t He is a fool!!!!. he does not have sense. He and Pompei are the same person forming as 2 people. I know @Pompei tricks
Hehehehehe, nothing mallam no go see for gate!
So now, Dr. Banks and Pompei are the same person?
Iwunze, you have lost your mind, for real. Please check into the nearest psychiatric facility in your area.
You senseless fool keeps saying other people don’t have sense. It’s so funny!
Na you wey come get sense? Where the sense dey? No evidence of it on your comments. What your comments portray is a raving lunatic. Enraged for no reason, and the angrier you get, the dumber you get,
@Pompei look at your reasoning who don’t even have the balls to stand by Ighalo whole hearted you are like a prostitute who is torn between her pimp and lover. You are a mockery of a human being a total waste of space.. No balls no grit just shift opinions when the wind blows one direction to another, Typical spineless mentality. As for Me I stand my ground on my opinions and they are always proved right later.
Wanker Leave the football talk for men wey sabi. Not wanker teenagers like you and your clone. your stupidity is out of control.
SHUT UP YOUR STINKING MOUTH! FOOISH IDIOT!
My brothers please let us operate like family.We can disagree on agree and vice versa without spewing insults even extending to parents. Football is a beautiful game and Super Eagles is our common denominator.
Iwunze, if you were not such a stupid sod, you would have taken the time to read and understand Dr. Banks comment.
He said Gerrard will likely take Aribo and Bassey to Villa with him.
See how foolish and senseless you are.
Your lunatic response to Dr. Banks is EXHIBIT A of your insanity.
Go ahead, give us more exhibits.
Dr Banks comments are as shitty as yours so I don’t read trash!!! Mugu!!! did you hear me??????
Then how can you form a lucid opinion on a comment you refuse to read? Is that not insanity? Arguing with someone when you don’t even understand that person’s point.
Iwunze, who do you like this? You have a big problem indeed!
Are you still talking?. My boy fem this topic. you are not sound enough to rub Footbaling knowledge with me because of one reason your thinking is backward and outdated.!!!!!!!!. and you clearly never learn from past experience so Sharap your nonsense mouth and dead brain Olodo!!!.
@Pompei again I know @Dr Banks doesnt reason hence I don’t bother myself. He is the same person that is supporting Musa as captain, even though Musa’s place in the team is closing the door on Prem STARS! like Dennis and Lookman. yet he is excited that Bassey may have a door back to England, but, He is also in support of Shehu a bench warmer keeping Bassey out the team, Are the 2 of you Demented?? and you talk of insanity. So tell me Anumanu, why the hell should I read comments from a contradictory Minds like Dr Banks and @Pompei??
Hahahahahaha…POMPEI are you shocked…? A madman displaying his madness shouldn’t shock you pls. This drug addict is the only lunatic I know on earth who will insult you to hell and back for making an opinion yet still corroborate your opinion……LMAOOooo. That was how he was biting trees a few days ago over a comment I made, only to proffer the same submission in his very next sentence(s)…..LMAOooo
The people wey send am the madness from village add small curry and thyme put for the madness. His own type of madness is the bubbly type of madness like banga soup wey never done for fire……LMAOOooo

@iwunze do you think this comment deserve such outburst and curses from you. Common my man. Never forget that spiritual law of whatever you sow you reap. Be careful my brother…even your good point will become meaningless with the way you always start them. Good luck
@ugo, those players will still get their times to shine. I know you mean well for those young players hence your anger with the present situation.
Sometimes we may not see beyond our nose as God has his own time for everybody.
Please let us not insult our selves just because of football matter.
Everyone’s opinion deserve respect and we should not turn the forum to thearter of insult.
Let us continue to pray for these young players, one day their stars will be too brilliant for anyone to cast a shadow of darkness on them. Not any coach,not any minister, not any NFF officials and not even devil.
