Piece in the Times about Gerrard and how he will eventually become manager at Liverpool. Start practicing, Stevie at the Wheel....

Which big name British players have become great managers at their old club?

Howard Kendall?

Kenny Dalglish?

Guessing they all date back to times when the English game was a simple rigid deployment of British players in a 442.

Bobby Robson is the closest I can think of. However, though he managed Fulham and played there, his managerial record was forged elsewhere. There must be a number of Old Firm examples though.

To be honest, if Gerrard moves on to Liverpool in a few years, I'll be happy as he'll have done a decent job at the villa

There is a very long list of players who have done terribly as manager's at former clubs. Most were installed on a temporary basis though, often in dire circumstances. Alan Shearer comes to mind.

Anyone remember Thomas Brolin and Attilio Lombardo as interim coaches at Palace during the Goldberg debacle?

Ah, the beautiful game, remember that? Let's put down some jumpers and have a socially-distanced kickabout. Long shots only, and no hugging and kissing.
