"Six years after departing Liverpool as a player, Gerrard is returning to the Premier League and will become the highest-paid manager in Villa's history on a deal worth around £5 million a year."
^^^Sorry Hopkirk, I don't ;-)

I remember hearing about him as a senior player and captain, on the Peter Crouch podcast.
He sounded like a ruthless ultra demanding man, who put enormous pressure on junior players. He did sound unpleasant (which surprised me). However it probably shows the ruthless steel backbone needed to get his team to the top. I tip him to be successful.

An American, a Liverpudlian, and a Villa fan were discussing which of their particular brands of football were the toughest.
The American said, "We've got this quarterback Peyton Manning who's just won his second Super Bowl ring. Well, one day Manning was sacked so hard, his front split open and his guts spilled out onto the turf. Luckily, one of the best surgeons in the country was in the crowd, and he scooped up Manning's guts, shovelled them back inside, and sewed Manning up. He continued the game, and went on to throw the winning touchdown pass. That's how tough American football is."
The Liverpudlian said, "That's quite tough, but there's an English footballer named Steven Gerrard who played for Liverpool and captained the national team. During one match, while rising up to meet a corner kick, Gerrard headed the ball so hard his head split open and his brains tumbled out onto the pitch. Fortunately in the crowd, there was a quite splendid neurosurgeon who picked up the brains, dusted them off, and tucked them back into Gerrard's skull, before sewing back up. Gerrard went on to play the rest of the match, and scored a magnificent winner in the 90th minute. That's how tough English football is and now, following a stint in Weegieland, he's the manager-to-be of Aston Villa."
The Villa fan said, "That's pretty tough, but we had a footy manager back in the day named Dean Smith, who had no guts, no brains, and still managed the side for 139 games for his club with a win rate of 40% and took them up into the Premier League. That's how tough Villa football is - ultimately Gerrard will soon be thinking that he's in charge of the Titanic!
