I’d be going for Gerrard too like CG, IF we are not taking the short-term approach (which I would personally be doing - e.g. a massive 6-month incentive for a guy like Dyche).
Reason being I don’t think Gerrard would have to do much managing between now and the end of the season. Let Lowe and Johnson get on with the coaching and his presence and aura alone would be a huge shot in the arm for a bunch of Championship players. You’re seeing it with Lampard at Coventry.
Gerrard’s involvement would also IMO push Venky’s closer to the exit door as we’d suddenly be remembered by the media.
