Jim loves the drama. He's the type of guy that slows down to look at a car crash
And to get out and film it
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Its his job
Yep, a lowlife journo
Most humans do this as it’s an evolutionary trait.
xavi was the manager of al sadd in qatar but is the manager of barcelona
Gerard’s already failed in the premier league xavi is in a farmers league
One started his manger career at qater, the other in europ and failed..
gerrard's situation is different though. gerrard failed in europe and is now declining in a lower league, while xavi built himself up in a lower league for years and then made his big barcelona move.
That was a unique case though, Xavi was ALWAYS going to get the Barca job at some point. He was offered it before he even went to Qatar, Barca's culture and ethos meant there will always be a demand for a homegrown ex-captain like him to get the gig.
@@TSF15152La Liga is the least Farmers league in the world
Remember when Gerrard said he was leaving Rangers to be "closer to his family" - I guess you can build a bridge from Liverpool to Rihyad with all that money, mind you.
he’s probably earning tens of millions for his family by doing this, to be fair
Just bring them with him 😮
Well he was joining Aston Villa in England at the time so that does make sense. Has he said that this time..?
Ya how dare him go make loads of money, how dare him!
He’s leaving his family for a year to be closer to 30 mill. The family will be wishing him the best til next summer.
He's forgetting Arsene Wenger was coaching in Japan before he got the Arsenal job
That was back then tho
Let's stop comparing arsene Wenger and Xavi to Gerrard please
Comparing Wenger and Gerrard 😂😂😂
Wenger didn't go from the premier League to Japan then back to the premier League though.
Your comment has no relevance
If the money was equal, players would not pick England as the first choice for quality of life. The Premier League has the TV deal, that's the draw.
Language too. English is a lot of players second language.
of course they would pick England first.
The quality of the league is better than anywhere else in Europe so of course they'd pick the PL ahead of anywhere else.
@@ajc1482yeah because of the money 😂
If money was the same, even I'd pick Spain or Italy over our damp and grey shores
He's probably not bothered, just building his bank balance up
Could of told you that he wasnt bothered at villa
So players and Managers going to the MLS for financial gains is okay but go to the ME and the Colonial mentality goes in full swing.
Diff kind of money plus it's about getting better, managing in the mls and Saudi is usually a no return to the prem because of the level, no ones hating on getting money
@@wood-lee1832 what's the difference between the monies?
"Gerrard needs to back the courage of his convictions and square that circle." Simon Jordan, probably...
that's exactly what he'd say haha
Notwithstanding that!
Dollars for donuts lol
I just hope he doesn't put himself in an invidious position.
Gerrard was more than happy to find himself indexed to the Saudi’s… or something along those lines
This meltdown is a joy to watch 😂🍿
Staggering Simon's take on this considering Sky's money in the EPL has basically priced out every other league in Europe.
Lame false equivalence lol.
That was built over decades.
Saudi are doing over night what took the EPL 30 years to make.
FFP, also now means all teams in Europe have to fall in line with strict financial rules. Saudi have multiple state owned clubs that don't have to follow FFP.
Simon has already made that exact point many, many times in the past. However, that's not what this particular conversation is about.
why keep bringing up human rights issue when it is also happening in european soil e.g racism
@@mrflibble9783 cry more. The money poured into the English leagues ruined pretty much every other league in Europe.
What a panic down south 😂 players and managers have been heading to England for the biggest bucks for 20 odd years!!! You wouldnt see Ancelotti & James Rodriguez at Everton, Djorkaeff & Okocha at Bolton, Bielsa at Leeds, Eriksen at Brentford, Kluivert at Newcastle, Davids at Spurs, Mendieta, Juninho & Ravanelli at Middlesbrough, if there wasnt a hefty amount of money involved!
@@ballondorson488 quality doesnt matter when its all about the 💰💰💰
Fact of the matter is - if he has no other offers are you expecting him to just not work ??
Of course he has other options!!! 😂😂😂😂
@@BridgeStamford have you heard of other options.
@@Micker375 he was in talks for the Poland job before the ex Portugal boss Santos ended up with it. Would of been a god way to rebuild his managerial career if he can finally unlock the enigma that is Poland without too much scrutiny - get a QF finish and some decent football played in the process and reputation rebuilt given far more well known people at Poland have failed and Santos hasn't got off to a great start
There will be plenty of interest from English lower leagues.
@vjaska how is an international job relevant to club football.
Its laughable how all these pundits are getting upset now that a league with more money is spending more than them! Other leagues from other countries have had to deal with it for decades!
If Xavi can...
False equivalency unless Liverpool play the same nepotism card that Barca did for Xavi
Money talks - premier league has had its own way for too long and it’ll be good to see them taste some of their own medicine. Money ruined football years ago in England
Iv been saying that for weeks mate. Its like nobody else is allowed to be rich or try be better. Was FFP put in place because of English football and their money throwing? Players aim for EPL coz its the highest paying league in history..until now. Any working person goes where the money is.
@@weescottishguy8950 ye - spot on
💯
Worked for Xavi didn't it...?
Reverse order
Xavi is a good coach, Gerrard is a sweaty cheese
Whilst Xavi repaid the faith (and nepotism) shown to him by Barca, this isn't a strong example. No other team in Europe's top5 leagues showed any strong interest in acquiring him as a manager, other than the one he spent 18yrs of his playing career at.
@@adelantericky well he's proven his salt more than Gerrard so far, hence why Gerrard is retiring
For Gerrard, depends what his next job is. He got the Rangers job with no managerial experience so clearly he could come back to the UK and get a job but really his status will probably just remain where it is. So I’m sure he could get a championship job afterwards but he could get that now so can’t see how it will progress his career.
He was with under 19 coach at Liverpool, and under 18 Liverpool coach at champions league which he took them to semi finals
@@lfckenya05 Sure but that's not top level experience. His first proper job managing players of a senior level where this is their career was Rangers.
Gerrard, like Barnes, rushed into management at too high a level. He will have to get used to improving a team of grassroots and experienced players instead of trying get stars to be him. And the facilities are probably fantastic. Good luck Steven. Don't steal anything!
How quickly newcastle turned things with their new owner, they dont mess about clearly, and this is just the beginning of the saudi's building their league, its pretty scary, but at the end of the day football is for everyone
No real surprise given that Gerrard once agreed to leave Liverpool for Chelski.
Wow. How weird are you ?
Totally irrelevant
The British arrogance is unreal. There is no Q of PL clubs lining up for this guy . If he stays out of football for another few years his profile will be a lot lower and won’t get these type of deals . Surely managing somewhere is better than staying out of football completely. If he get paid a bag of money for that good luck to him I’m sure lots of these pundits would do it too if they were offered the 💰
Well said British misplaced arrogance and hypocrisy is legendary. Not a fan of Steven Gerrard but fair to him to go over there to manage and earn money. The chickens have come home to roost....LOL
The point is that he should have gone down to lower leagues in England, but for whatever reason he hasn't.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@@gerardonochie3408nice xenophobia there pal
@@sfullernj it's not as bad as the xenophobia that's getting everyone rattled about Saudi.
Xavi was manager of Al Saad in Qatar before Barcelona
Totally different thats where he started his career SG has already failed in Europe
@@leemartin3429Where have you succeeded?
@@JC-ip8ur Whats that got to do with anything?
@@leemartin3429 you call people failures, who are u to judge? What have you accomplished in pro football? Also since when does 1 unsuccessful job in management make you a failure? I guess most managers are failures so...
@@JC-ip8ur the problem is hes failed at every manager job! Yea tell me he ain't a failure of a manager 😉 and I'm not in the public eye, or r you just thick?
Fair play to Gerrard going there for money and upsetting haters because they haven't got offer from Saudis.
All eyes will be on that first interview 😂😂😂
May as well watch because you'll not understand a word the scouse git says.
Errrrrrrrrrr yeah courseeeee 😂😂
All the best to mr Steven Gerrard 🔥🔥
Jealousy mate.
Wasn't he gonna be lined up to replace klopp when he leaves ?
He is 100% accurate and Murphy loyally deluded. I'm surprised that Frank Lampards name didn't crop up because the Saudis will be enticing him to manage one of their clubs also.
Players go to the premier league for the money. Players now doing the same to Saudi. English media get a grip
But doesn’t sky pump all the money into the prem
Yes sky do fund the league
XAVI was coach in Qatar club and now he is the coach for Baca club 😂😂😂
Gerrard's not going to be managing a top English club in his lifetime mate
The only club in all of Europe's top5 leagues that showed interest in taking Xavi .. was the club he spent 18yrs of his career at. Very clearly club nepotism.
How do you then explain Xavi managing in Qatar, and having had less managerial experience than Gerrard when he moved there, getting the Barca job
Club nepotism? Which btw he has repaid back with a title tbf to him, unlike Ole at mufc or Lampard at chelsea
@@adelantericky Yes there’s that but if Barca who are one of the top clubs are willing to get someone who’s only managed in Qatar league, why shouldn’t a championship club give Gerrard a chance? Managing in Saudi might not enhance his reputation as a manager but can’t see why it would diminish it either
That clip wasnt very fair to Murphy even he said ultimately going to Saudi is a money move and wont help lift Gerrard the manager in profile. China did this but lost interest, Saudi could go either way, get bored and cut back especially if they get a world cup. They might push for a bit until they get a world cup then back off again.
Rangers went unbeaten in the league, not a bad achievement for your first management job
It’s the cash that’s way he went
He left a legacy at Rangers when he stopped terry munro 🇬🇧
So your telling me British football is not a form of “image enhancement” as well.
It's always lost on them
Jim cmon man, its Jota Fillipe. Not diogo jota.
Doesn't want to earn his stripes managing in the lower tiers of english football. I think this is him saying managing is too difficult and this will be his last job. He's clearly highly motivated by money (no opinion on that), no chance he'll have the same motivation being paid 25% of what he'll be earning in saudi arabia if he comes back
But Xavi went to Qatar and it was instrumntal for him to further improve his coaching and has done well for Barca. Maybe we should see how he does football wise and then we can judge
Simon just has a bit of a vendetta against Gerrard for some reason. Let the guy live.
SG has alot to learn about being a manager. His man management is appalling both on and off the pitch, he needs to learn tactics, and he needs to be brave with decision making in game
If the Saudi league takes off, top players sign up, and Gerrard's successful then of course he should be considered for another manager's job in the EPL. Simon's talking guff as usual.
In the broadcast you asked the question where will this end? Millions of cancelled Sky/BT subscriptions. But there is one simple solution. Any of these world club cups (or even Champions League) only allow teams from leagues that comply with universal governance (including FFP) regulations.
Rudi Carcia was sacked by Al-Nasser and now is appointed Napoli manager. This guy gets his logic from his rear.
Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney on speed dial lol
If I was SG I would do the job in Saudi Arabia and collect all the millions that he is gonna be paid, then just retire and be a pundit - stress free life and get paid to talk about football for a couple of hours a day.
There isn't people going there on a daily basis. You can't name more than 10 players.
Arsene Wenger came from Japan, Avram Grant came from Israeli league..So to say a known manager can't come back to English league from a developing high profile Saudi league is ridiculous..
Gerrard just came out with a daft of mark and clarified that there will be no chance hes gonna sign the contract.ooh hang on a minute figures speaks of itself😅😅😅😅
Yeah, 30 mill figures, suck it up.
I’m a Liverpool fan if I was Liverpool I’d cash in on Thiago who’s linked with Saudi league today and while the markets also assured ..it will free up wages for a possible move for gravenbach /Thuram I’d keep Hendo need that experience and he’s our captain
Thiago is the one who turned down the Saudi move.
He makes a kings ransom for two years, then come back and work for Sky/BT. Life sorted!
Gerrard aiming to sign Coutinho….didn’t he learn his lesson the first time?
As a villa fan I'm pretty sure the majority of us would jump at the chance to get rid of couthino! Not to mention being able to get some money back for him!! Hopefully now Gerrards took the job in Saudi he comes back in to sign him.. FINGERS WELL AND TRULY CROSSED..
@@brettmiffling73063 years ago if you were to say Coutinho would be a bench warmer at Villa you’d be sectioned under the mental health act.
Journalist lies
They are crapping themselves that a league is challenging the all precious Premier League. Brilliant, come on the Saudis!
And Gerrard, the worst manager in villa's history, is the reason we are all really scared?
That'd be Remi Garde (2 wins/20) in the PL era or Billy McNeil in the 1st division (9wins/41). Roberto Di Matteo also faired poorly but only managed for 12 games. Don't let facts get in the way though
I thought he turned them down 😂 funny that
Why not coin it whilst the demand and money is there? He won't need another job again after a year or two in Saudi.
Can someone tell Jim that Diogo Jota is playing for Liverpool
Tenner says his first signing is Coutinho
If he goes there and does well though...
Of course money 💰 is the primary factor. But if he does well there, it can only enhance his reputation (not by a lot). Many football managers (aside from Pep) have managed all over the world. It just adds to hid experience.....otherwise he'd be sitting at home playing golf.
Gerrard won a Scottish title as manager of Glasgow Rangers.
I think Gerrard could be the next England manager after Gareth Southgate. If Gerrard does well in Saudi Arabia he could get lots of money.
If Gerrard is the next England manager then we’re truly fucked 😂
And as for rangers with what fans and former players have said it seems Michael Beale (you know the current manager) was the architect of that
Proven right tbf cause as soon as Beale left Gerrard Gerrard was exposed as an incompetent manager
I love Simon .... zero f...s given and almost always speaks sense 🙌🏻
To be honest he's right - SG has joined a minor club which is not part of the PIF buy-out........ sure they will have some good funding available but they have not won a title since the 1980's..... finishing 4th or 5th in KSA behind the Riyadh giants Hilal + Nassr and Jeddah's Ittihad will not get him a job back in the UK. On the plus side Dammam is right beside Bahrain.....
SG wouldn’t go to SA without the money, and SA wouldn’t come calling for SG with his PLAYING cv…
Changing of the tide ............... Maybe!!!!
Does Jordan never take a holiday? We're into July now and it's off season so to speak
He’s bankrupt (allegedly) , he needs the money. If the Saudi league approached him to be a ball boy he’d snap there hands off and bend over in a heart beat.
Look at Nuno. He left Spurs and now has won a league title in Saudi
Please note - Diogo Jota did not leave Liverpool to play for Celtic only to be swiftly moved on to the Saudi Arabian league.
Bit negative from Jordan here..
Gerrard needs the managerial experience,will probably get an open cheque book for players...and getting paid huge amounts himself.
Its good situation for Gerrard
Why has this rattled simon so much?! 😅
Easy, he doesn't watch footy outside of British shores and therefore treats the sport as if it should only exist in the UK.
Talking in great detail and amazingly punctual on a radio talk show, because it’s his job, is Simon being rattled? Shut up mouth breather
Dear Stevie is the only fella to go over for the football. This Murphy guy should be in politics he talks so much nonsense.
Farley TV has cracked it already.. hahah
Look at xavi. He's staying active before klopp leaves
Nation states have owned British assets for years, the reason why transport and energy is cheaper in Europe is because of their ownership in British infrastructure. Getting upset about the football seems a tad myopic.
A "tad" is too kind
Look at Michael Laudrup career after SA
Well the middle east certainly seemed to get xavi a job in LA Liga that to at one of the biggest club in Spain
The only LaLiga club he ever played for, where he spent 18yrs of his career? Very clearly club nepotism but tbf to him he's repaid them with a title.
I would get that BAG too, he already had his career.
Lol y’all are being narrow minded. Of course the Saudi league isn’t a top 10 league now. But in the future, who knows? The EPL took decades to become the top league in the world. It takes time to build history and legacy. The Saudis are just starting now to really invest in their league and infrastructure. Who knows where they’ll be in 10 years, and how competitive they’ll be.
But to dismiss the players and the coaches who go there is quite narrow minded.
Maybe In 100 years it might have some heritage
@@Partoftheratpackt took premier league less than a 100 years, my friend.
I’ve never seen a league like the Saudi league transform from obscurity to headlines within 6 months.
It's a totalitarian islam state.
Took decades? The premier league has been the biggest league in the world since the late 90s
give Gerrad the Liverppol Job if the liverpool fans feels he will be successful. back your claims
With a hundred million in the bank I don't think he'll be too worried.
Aye like it matters!!! Frank Lampard comes to mind as an example of being a failed manager but scoring top jobs
Like everyone else is a money decision, Gerrard would likely have to drop to league 1 if he was still in England, might aswell go to Saudi and get paid silly money fof it, players are doing it aswell.
I like the PL but too often a lot of these pundits overrate it and act like football only genuinely exists in England.
Xavi was coaching in Qatar before he was hired to Barcelona. You don't have to coach in the big leagues to land back in english football.
The MELTDown
He won at Rangers. Scotland are a top league. 9 UEFA league
Lol..what is the point
Yeah course
That's a fact not an argument, obviously only went for the money
Is Danny Murphy so blindly naive to believe that it’s mainly footballing reasons why Gerrard has agreed to manage in Saudi
Simon sounds jealous... the epl have been doing this for years... la Liga... ligue 1... been paying over the odds for players from other leagues... just because they have more money doesn't make it different
Al Gerrard … Frank be out there soon
Jordan is totally right on this.
Well said . Lost a lot of respect for him as a manager .
Why would he want to comeback?
Loads of money, easy life.
Still not as easy as route as Jordan has taken.
No way will he comeback to the Premier League
Life isn't all about money. We will all die one day, it's about legacy.
@@MRGTR-94
He already has legacy.
Many boxer had a great legacies but died alone and broke that is not a great life.
Everyone is assume Gerrard will do well.
He will be fired within 6 months and back in a premier league role by march.
Is Saudi actually a nice place to go to? I have no idea, is it like Dubai full of shops etc
Your stock will go from scratch to the top in the space of a month
Yeah it's great, they have Wetherspoons, Primark and Poundland there
@@dave-jk6en Sounds like the UK.
@@sib1930 just don’t be gay or a woman and you’ll be fine!
Hopefully we don’t loose every great player to the big wages paid in Saudi leagues but highly likely football looks finished as money has killed the game.
Don’t feign concern for his future career. He, after all, isn’t concerned at all about yours.
It worked for Xavi....as usual Simon talking nonsense
Totally different, SG has already failed in Europe Xavi started his career there
It worked for Xavi because Xavi is actually a good coach, not an arrogant chav that has absolutely zero man management and tactical knowledge
@@leemartin3429 that is a very insignificant difference, both are fledgling managers who need experience & they should take every opportunity to coach & get better at the job.
What’s the issue they are like Man City ‘catching up’ to the legacy European leagues. That’s what a City fan would say 😂
If Gerard really wanted to make an impact, he could have gone to the championship and helped promote a team to the premier league. He sold his soul by going to S.Arabia for millions he would not get anywhere else.!!!
What would you have done. Playing football a is short and risky career. Being a manager is even harder. If he wants to go there for the money what business is it of yours? Get a grip mate!!!!
@@gerardonochie3408 It is SO SAD to think that it’s ok to look the other way and pretend beheadings and other crimes committed publicly, do not exist. Thus, selling sell your soul and ……………for money is not a problem.
GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ……… MATE !!!
Feel free to fill in the blanks !!!!
@@gerardonochie3408 Jamie Vardy said no to £millions. It’s good to have integrity/principles !!!
Promoting a team from a lower tier factually wouldn't be as successful as his stint at Rangers where he won a title outright. It would actually be steps further backwards than he's taken now.
@@mazdakmorati2297Jamie Vardy priciples 😂
