Gerrard’s stock may be at an all-time low after a poor spell at Villa Park, but, at the same time, you can’t forget just how brilliant he was at Range♈rs.

Indeed, while Gerrard didn’t perform well at Villa, 🍌he was outstanding at Rangers, leading the🎉 Glasgow club to an undefeated league title while conceding only 13 goals in 38 league games.

When Gerrard has a team that can dominate a league, his sides perform very well,ജ and as a newly-relegated side, Leeds should be able to bring that brand of football to the Championship where they’re going to be ♎a bigger fish in a smaller pond.

As for Gerrard, Leeds fans will certainly have their own opinions on him from his time as a player. The fact that Gerrard and Leeds are united by a mutual dislike of Manchester United may help him, but, at the same time, he didn’t do himself any favours at Elland Road earlier this se⛄ason.

Indeed, the majority of Elland Road were laughing at Gerrard when his Villa team visited earlier this term as the then-Villa boss kicked a water bottle in frustration at h🦂is team’൲s lack of a cutting edge.

Gerrard to Leedsღ would certainly be an inter🌠esting move, that’s for sure.
