# Liverpool: Fans hammer Jamie Redknapp’s endorsement of Steven Gerrard to succeed Jurgen Klopp at Anfield

**As a player, Steven Gerrard is an absolute Liverpool legend.**

The former England international wrote himself into the history of the Anfield outfit during his time at the club, during which he made a mammoth [710](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/steven-gerrard/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/3109) appearances. Whilst he may have played for the club during one of their less successful spells, he still managed to [inspire them to Champions League glory](https://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=games/decade/2005liverpoolmilan) in 2005, as well as a [number of other trophies](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/steven-gerrard/erfolge/spieler/3109) along the way.

His career as a manager so far has not been as glittering, though. His experience to date consists of two years at Rangers, with him [yet to win any silverware](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/steven-gerrard/profil/trainer/51276). Still, that lack of success has not stopped Jamie Redknapp believing he could be a Liverpool manager down the line – he even said that he could replace Jurgen Klopp when the German eventually leaves (The Lockdown Tactics [via Metro](https://metro.co.uk/2020/05/26/steven-gerrard-becoming-liverpool-manager-inevitable-reckons-jamie-redknapp-12761652/)).

Whilst Gerrard may be a club legend, it seems that many of the Reds supporters do not agree with Redknapp’s endorsement of him as a potential successor to Klopp. They have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts and you can see some of the best comments from the social media platform below:

> Nonsense !!! Love the guy but no way he follows Klopp – completely undoes what he has built

> Strong disagree. Aside from his exploits in the Europa League, he hasn’t done anywhere near enough as Rangers manager to be even close to the Liverpool manager job yet. [https://t.co/kYi2Kspard](https://t.co/kYi2Kspard)

> We will go several steps back awards with Stevie. Jamie is wishing on a fairytale. Gerard is playing old English footie at Rangers. He has no real direction. He was a superb player and that’s where we should leave it
