Charlie Adam isn’t convinced that Steven Gerrard is in London to discuss the vacant manager’s job at Aston Villa!
On Tuesday night speculation intensified that the former Liverpool skipper was bound for Villa Park with big name English journalists reporting that Gerrard was keen to discuss the job.
There were no developments yesterday morning until lunchtime when a video clip surfaced showing Gerrard arriving in London by train pulling a suitcase.
With the heavy fixture list at home and in Europe international breaks are usually spent with his wife and kids on Merseyside but with speculation rife his appearance in London led to obvious conclusions.
On Sunday at Dens Park Adam got a close up look at how Celtic have developed under Ange Postecoglou, one challenge with Tony Ralston proved to be especially painful with the Dundee skipper substituted soon after.
Recovering from that knock Adam turned up on PLZ Sport yesterday with the Daily Record reporting him saying:
Is this the video? To be fair about the video, it’s not his agent, it’s one of his friends, so I can back him up on that. I also heard the story there’s reasons why he’s in London, as well, not just because of the Aston Villa thing.
We’re putting two and two together at the moment and speculating for everything. The rumours are circling very quickly and it’s very hard to quash them, unless the club or Steven himself come out and say something.
It’s going to add arms and legs to everything until we know what’s going to happen. What’s going on and what everybody’s hearing is it looks strongly like he’s going to Aston Villa, which will be a huge blow for Rangers.
